2 Chronicles 27
1 Jotham was twenty-five years old when he began to reign; and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem; and his mother's name was Jerushah, daughter of Zadok.
Yotam berumur dua puluh lima tahun pada waktu ia menjadi raja dan enam belas tahun lamanya ia memerintah di Yerusalem. Nama ibunya ialah Yerusa, anak Zadok.
2 And he did what was right in the sight of Jehovah, according to all that his father Uzziah had done; only he entered not into the temple of Jehovah. And the people still acted corruptly.
Ia melakukan apa yang benar di mata TUHAN, tepat seperti yang dilakukan Uzia, ayahnya, hanya ia tidak memasuki Bait TUHAN. Tetapi rakyat masih saja melakukan hal yang merusak.
3 It was he who built the upper gate of the house of Jehovah, and on the wall of Ophel he built much.
Ia mendirikan Pintu Gerbang Tinggi di rumah TUHAN dan mengadakan banyak pembangunan pada tembok Ofel.
4 And he built cities in the hill-country of Judah, and in the forests he built castles and towers.
Ia mendirikan juga kota-kota di pegunungan Yehuda dan benteng-benteng serta menara-menara di hutan-hutan.
5 And he fought against the king of the children of Ammon, and overcame them. And the children of Ammon gave him the same year a hundred talents of silver, and ten thousand measures of wheat, and ten thousand of barley. This the children of Ammon brought again to him also in the second year, and in the third.
Ia berperang melawan raja bani Amon dan mengalahkannya, sehingga pada tahun itu juga bani Amon membayar kepadanya seratus talenta perak, sepuluh ribu kor gandum dan sepuluh ribu kor jelai. Juga pada tahun kedua dan ketiga bani Amon membawa upeti itu kepadanya.
6 And Jotham became strong, for he prepared his ways before Jehovah his God.
Yotam menjadi kuat, karena ia mengarahkan hidupnya kepada TUHAN, Allahnya.
7 And the rest of the acts of Jotham, and all his wars, and his ways, behold, they are written in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah.
Selebihnya dari riwayat Yotam, segala peperangan dan tingkah langkahnya, sesungguhnya semuanya itu tertulis dalam kitab raja-raja Israel dan Yehuda.
8 He was twenty-five years old when he began to reign; and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem.
Ia berumur dua puluh lima tahun pada waktu ia menjadi raja dan enam belas tahun lamanya ia memerintah di Yerusalem.
9 And Jotham slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city of David; and Ahaz his son reigned in his stead.
Kemudian Yotam mendapat perhentian bersama-sama nenek moyangnya, dan ia dikuburkan di kota Daud. Maka Ahas, anaknya, menjadi raja menggantikan dia.
