2 Chronicles 27

1 Jotham was twenty-five years old when he had begun to reign, and he reigned for sixteen years in Jerusalem. The name of his mother was Jerusha, the daughter of Zadok.

Yotam xɔ ƒe blaeve vɔ atɔ̃ esi wòzu fia eye wòɖu fia ƒe wuiade le Yerusalem. Dadae nye Yerusa, Zadok ƒe vinyɔnu.

2 And he did what was right before the Lord, in accord with all that his father, Uzziah, had done, except that he did not enter into the temple of the Lord, and still the people were transgressing.

Yotam Ewɔ nu dzɔdzɔe le Yehowa ŋkume, abe ale si fofoa, Uzia, wɔ ene. Ke eya mege ɖe gbedoxɔ la me abe fofoa ene o; ke eƒe amewo ya yi nu gbegblẽ wɔwɔ dzi.

3 He improved the high gate of the house of the Lord. And he built many things upon the wall of Ophel.

Yotam tu Dzigbegbo ɖe gbedoxɔ la ŋu eye wògbugbɔ gli siwo le Ofel toa dzi, afi si gbedoxɔ la le la ƒe akpa gã aɖe tu.

4 Also, he built cities in the mountains of Judah, and fortresses and towers in the forests.

Etso duwo ɖe Yuda ƒe tonyigba la dzi eye wòtu mɔwo kple xɔ kɔkɔwo ɖe avewo me le toawo dzi.

5 He fought against the king of the sons of Ammon, and he defeated them. And at that time, the sons of Ammon gave to him one hundred talents of silver, and ten thousand cor of wheat, and the same number of cor of barley. These things the sons of Ammon offered to him in the second and third year.

Yotam wɔ aʋa kple Amonitɔwo ƒe fia eye wòɖu edzi. Le ƒe ma me la, Amonitɔwo tsɔ klosalo si ƒe kpekpeme nye kilogram akpe etɔ̃ alafa ene, lu tɔn akpe eve alafa eve kple ƒo tɔn akpe eve alafa eve vɛ nɛ. Amonitɔwo tsɔ nu siawo ke vɛ nɛ le ƒe evelia kple etɔ̃lia siaa me.

6 And Jotham was strengthened, because he had directed his way before the Lord his God.

Fia Yotam kpɔ ŋusẽ ŋutɔ elabena ekpɔ egbɔ be yezɔ nyuie le Yehowa, eƒe Mawu la ƒe mɔ dzi ɣe sia ɣi.

7 Now the rest of the words of Jotham, and all his battles and works, have been written in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah.

Woŋlɔ Yotam ƒe ŋutinya mamlɛa, eƒe aʋawɔwɔwo kple eƒe wɔna bubuwo ɖe Israel fiawo kple Yuda fiawo ƒe Ŋutinyawo me.

8 He was twenty-five years old when he had begun to reign, and he reigned for sixteen years in Jerusalem.

Le ŋutinya la nu la, Yotam xɔ ƒe blaeve vɔ atɔ̃ esi wòzu fia eye wòɖu fia le Yerusalem ƒe wuiade.

9 And Jotham slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the City of David. And his son, Ahaz, reigned in his place.

Esi wòku la, woɖii ɖe David ƒe du la me eye via Ahaz ɖu fia ɖe eteƒe.
