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.

Naʻe uofulu taʻu mo e taʻu ʻe nima ʻae motuʻa ʻo Sotami ʻi heʻene kamata pule, pea naʻe pule ia ʻi he taʻu ʻe hongofulu ma ono ʻi Selūsalema. Pea ko e hingoa ʻo ʻene faʻē foki ko Selusa, ko e ʻofefine ʻo Satoki.

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.

Pea naʻe fai lelei ia ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova, ʻo fakatatau ki he meʻa kotoa pē naʻe fai ʻe heʻene tamai ko ʻUsaia: ka naʻe ʻikai hū ia ki he faletapu ʻo Sihova. Pea naʻe kei fai kovi ʻe he kakai.

3 Jotham rebuilt the Upper Gate of the Lord's Temple, and did extensive building work on the wall at Ophel.

Naʻe ngaohi ʻe ia ʻae matapā māʻolunga ʻoe fale ʻo Sihova, pea naʻa ne langa hake ʻaupito ki he ʻā maka ʻo Ofili.

4 He built towns in the hill country of Judah, and fortresses and towers in the mountains and forests.

Pea naʻa ne langa foki ʻae ngaahi kolo ʻi he ngaahi moʻunga ʻo Siuta, pea ne langa ʻi he ngaahi vao ʻakau ʻae ngaahi fale mālohi mo e fale māʻolunga.

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.

Pea naʻe tau ia mo e tuʻi ʻoe kakai ʻAmoni, pea naʻe mālohi ia kiate kinautolu. Pea naʻe ʻatu kiate ia ʻe he fānau ʻa ʻAmoni ʻi he taʻu pe ko ia ʻae taleniti siliva ʻe teau, mo e puha fua ʻoe uite ʻe taha mano, mo e taha mano ʻoe paʻale. naʻe ʻatu ʻae meʻa lahi pehē ni ʻi hono ua ʻoe taʻu, mo hono tolu.

6 Jotham grew powerful because he made sure what he did followed the ways of the Lord his God.

Ko ia naʻe hoko ʻo mālohi lahi ʻa Sotami, ko e meʻa ʻi heʻene vakai ki hono ngaahi hala ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova ko hono ʻOtua.

7 The rest of what Jotham did, his wars and other events, were written in the Book of the Kings of Israel and Judah.

Pea ko hono toe ʻoe ngāue ʻa Sotami, mo ʻene ngaahi tau kotoa pē, mo ʻene ngaahi anga, vakai, kuo tohi ia ʻi he tohi ʻoe ngaahi tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli mo Siuta.

8 He was twenty-five when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem for sixteen years.

Naʻe uofulu taʻu ia mo e taʻu ʻe nima ʻi heʻene kamata pule, pea naʻe pule ʻe ia ʻi he taʻu ʻe hongofulu ma ono ʻi Selūsalema.

9 Jotham died and was buried in the City of David. His son Ahaz took over as king.

Pea naʻe mohe ʻa Sotami mo ʻene ngaahi tamai, pea naʻa nau tanu ia ʻi he kolo ʻa Tevita: pea naʻe fetongi ia ʻi he pule ʻe hono foha ko ʻAhasi.
