< 2 Chronicles 27 >
1 Joatham was five and twenty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem: the name of his mother was Jerusa the daughter of Sadoc.
Jotamu je bilo dvadeset i pet godina kad se zakraljio, a kraljevao je šesnaest godina u Jeruzalemu. Materi mu je bilo ime Jeruša, Sadokova kći.
2 And he did that which was right before the Lord, according to all that Ozias his father had done, only that he entered not into the temple of the Lord, and the people still transgressed.
Činio je što je pravo u Jahvinim očima, sasvim kao otac mu Uzija; samo što nije ušao u Jahvin Hekal. Narod je i dalje bio pokvaren.
3 He built the high gate of the house of the Lord, and on the wall of Ophel he built much.
Sagradio je Gornja vrata Doma Jahvina; i na Ofelskom zidu mnogo je gradio.
4 Moreover he built cities in the mountains of Juda, and castles and towers in the forests.
Podigao je i gradove po Judejskoj gori, a u šumama dvorove i kule.
5 Ho fought against the king of the children of Ammon, and overcame them, and the children of Ammon gave him at that time a hundred talents of silver, and ten thousand measures of wheat, and as many measures of barley: so much did the children of Ammon give him in the second and third year.
Vojevao je s kraljem Amonovih sinova i pobijedio ih. Amonovi su mu sinovi dali one godine sto srebrnih talenata i deset tisuća kora pšenice i deset tisuća kora ječma. Toliko su mu Amonovi sinovi priložili i druge i treće godine.
6 And Joatham was strengthened, because he had his way directed before the Lord his God.
Tako se Jotam utvrdio, jer je uredio svoj život pred Jahvom, svojim Bogom.
7 Now the rest of the acts of Joatham, and all his wars, and his works, are written in the book of the kings of Israel and Juda.
Ostala su Jotamova djela i svi njegovi ratovi i putovi zapisani u Knjizi o izraelskim i judejskim kraljevima.
8 He was five and twenty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem.
Bilo mu je dvadeset i pet godina kad se zakraljio. Kraljevao je šesnaest godina u Jeruzalemu.
9 And Joatham slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city of David: and Achaz his son reigned in his stead.
Tada Jotam počinu kod otaca i sahraniše ga u Davidovu gradu. Na njegovo se mjesto zakralji sin mu Ahaz.
