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.
योताम राजगद्दी आरोहण गर्दा पच्चिस वर्षका थिए; तिनले यरूशलेममा सोह्र वर्ष राज्य गरे । तिनकी आमाको यरूशा थियो; तिनी नाउँ सादोककी छोरी थिइन् ।
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.
हरेक कुरामा आफ्ना पिता उज्जियाहको उदाहरणको अनुसरण गरेर तिनले परमप्रभुको दृष्टिमा जे असल थियो सो गरे । परमप्रभुको मन्दिरभित्र प्रवेश गर्नबाट तिनी अलग बसे । तर मानिसहरू भने अझै पनि आफ्ना दुष्ट चालमा लागिरहेका थिए ।
3 Jotham rebuilt the Upper Gate of the Lord's Temple, and did extensive building work on the wall at Ophel.
तिनले परमप्रभुका मन्दिरको माथिल्लो ढोकाको र्निर्माण गरे, र ओपेल डाँडामा तिनले धेरै निर्माण गरे ।
4 He built towns in the hill country of Judah, and fortresses and towers in the mountains and forests.
यसको साथै तिनले यहूदाको पहाडी देशमा सहरहरू बनाए, र वनमा किल्ला र धरहराहरू बनाए ।
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.
अम्मोनका मानिसहरूका राजासँग पनि तिनले युद्ध गरे र उनलाई परास्त गरे । त्यसै वर्ष अम्मोनका मानिसहरूले तिनलाई साढे तिन टन चाँदी, पच्चिस हजार मुरी गहूँ र पच्चिस हजार मुरी जौ दिए । अम्मोनका मानिसहरूले दोस्रो र तेस्रो वर्षमा पनि त्यसरी नै तिनलाई दिए ।
6 Jotham grew powerful because he made sure what he did followed the ways of the Lord his God.
यसरी परमप्रभु आफ्ना परमेश्वरको सामुन्ने दृढ भएर हिंडेका हुनाले योताम शक्तिशाली भए ।
7 The rest of what Jotham did, his wars and other events, were written in the Book of the Kings of Israel and Judah.
योतामको बारेमा अन्य कुराहरू, तिनका सबै युद्ध र तिनका सबै चाल, इस्राएल र यहूदाका राजाहरूको पुस्तकमा लेखिएका छन् ।
8 He was twenty-five when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem for sixteen years.
तिनी राज्य गर्न सुरु गर्दा तिनी पच्चिस वर्षका थिए । तिनले यरूशलेममा सोह्र वर्ष राज्य गरे ।
9 Jotham died and was buried in the City of David. His son Ahaz took over as king.
योताम आफ्ना पुर्खाहरूसित सुते, र तिनीहरूले उनलाई दाऊदको सहरमा गाडे । तिनीपछि तिनका छोरा आहाज तिनको ठाउँमा राजा भए ।
