< 2 Chronicles 27 >
1 Jotham was twenty-five when he became king, and he reigned in for Jerusalem sixteen years. His mother's name was Jerushah, daughter of Zadok.
Yotami azalaki na mibu tuku mibale na mitano ya mbotama tango akomaki mokonzi, mpe akonzaki mibu zomi na motoba na Yelusalemi. Kombo ya mama na ye ezalaki « Yerusha. » Yerusha azalaki mwana ya Tsadoki.
2 He did what was right in the Lord's sight as his father Uzziah had done, and he did not enter the Lord's Temple as his father had. But the people still acted corruptly.
Yotami asalaki makambo ya sembo na miso ya Yawe ndenge kaka Oziasi, tata na ye, asalaki; kasi ye, atikalaki kokota te kati na Tempelo ya Yawe. Atako bongo, bato bakobaki kosala makambo mabe.
3 Jotham rebuilt the Upper Gate of the Lord's Temple, and did extensive building work on the wall at Ophel.
Yotami atongaki ekuke ya likolo ya Tempelo ya Yawe mpe asalaki misala ebele na mir, na ngomba Ofeli.
4 He built towns in the hill country of Judah, and fortresses and towers in the mountains and forests.
Atongaki mpe bingumba kati na etuka ya bangomba ya Yuda, bandako makasi mpe bandako milayi kati na bazamba.
5 Jotham fought with the king of the Ammonites and defeated them. The Ammonites gave him every year for three years one hundred talents of silver, and ten thousand cors of wheat and ten thousand of barley.
Yotami abundisaki mokonzi ya bato ya Amoni mpe alongaki bango. Na mobu wana mpe na mibu mibale oyo elandaki, bato ya Amoni bafutaki ye lokola mpako ya mokonzi bakilo nkoto misato na nkama mitano ya palata, bakilo nkoto minei na nkama mitano ya ble mpe bakilo nkoto minei na nkama mitano ya orje.
6 Jotham grew powerful because he made sure what he did followed the ways of the Lord his God.
Yotami akomaki na nguya makasi, pamba te azalaki kotambola na bosembo na miso ya Yawe, Nzambe na ye.
7 The rest of what Jotham did, his wars and other events, were written in the Book of the Kings of Israel and Judah.
Makambo mosusu oyo etali bokonzi ya Yotami, bitumba mpe misala na ye nyonso, ekomama kati na buku ya masolo ya bakonzi ya Isalaele mpe ya Yuda.
8 He was twenty-five when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem for sixteen years.
Azalaki na mibu tuku mibale na mitano ya mbotama tango akomaki mokonzi, mpe akonzaki mibu zomi na motoba na Yelusalemi.
9 Jotham died and was buried in the City of David. His son Ahaz took over as king.
Yotami akendeki kokutana na bakoko na ye, mpe bakundaki ye kati na engumba ya Davidi. Akazi, mwana na ye ya mobali, akitanaki na ye na bokonzi.
