< 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.
Yotam yirmi beş yaşında kral oldu ve Yeruşalim'de on altı yıl krallık yaptı. Annesi Sadok'un kızı Yeruşa'ydı.
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.
Babası Uzziya gibi, Yotam da RAB'bin gözünde doğru olanı yaptı. Ancak RAB'bin Tapınağı'na girmedi. Ne var ki, halk kötülük yapmayı sürdürmekteydi.
3 He built the high gate of the house of the Lord, and on the wall of Ophel he built much.
Yotam RAB'bin Tapınağı'nın Yukarı Kapısı'nı onardı. Ofel Tepesi'ndeki surun üzerinde de birçok iş yaptı.
4 Moreover he built cities in the mountains of Juda, and castles and towers in the forests.
Yahuda'nın dağlık bölgesinde kentler, ormanlık tepelerinde kaleler ve kuleler kurdu.
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.
Ammon Kralı'yla savaşarak Ammonlular'ı yendi. Ammonlular o yıl için kendisine yüz talant gümüş, on bin kor buğday, on bin kor arpa verdiler. İkinci ve üçüncü yıllar için de aynı miktarı ödediler.
6 And Joatham was strengthened, because he had his way directed before the Lord his God.
Tanrısı RAB'bin önünde kararlı bir şekilde yürüyen Yotam giderek güçlendi.
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.
Yotam'ın yaptığı öbür işler, bütün savaşları ve uygulamaları, İsrail ve Yahuda krallarının tarihinde yazılıdır.
8 He was five and twenty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem.
Yotam yirmi beş yaşında kral oldu ve Yeruşalim'de on altı yıl krallık yaptı.
9 And Joatham slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city of David: and Achaz his son reigned in his stead.
Yotam ölüp atalarına kavuşunca, onu Davut Kenti'nde gömdüler. Yerine oğlu Ahaz kral oldu.
