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.
Yotam dii hene no, na wadi mfirihyia aduonu anum. Odii hene wɔ Yerusalem mfirihyia dunsia. Na ne na a ɔyɛ Sadok babea no din de Yerusa.
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.
Ɔyɛɛ nea ɛsɔ Awurade ani sɛnea nʼagya Usia yɛe no. Yotam de, wankɔ Awurade Asɔredan mu sɛnea nʼagya yɛe no. Nanso ɔmanfo no toaa wɔn nnebɔneyɛ so.
3 Jotham rebuilt the Upper Gate of the Lord's Temple, and did extensive building work on the wall at Ophel.
Yotam san yɛɛ Atifi Pon a ɛwɔ Awurade Asɔredan no ho, na ɔsan yɛɛ nnwuma bebree de siesiee ɔfasu a ɛwɔ Ofel bepɔw so no.
4 He built towns in the hill country of Judah, and fortresses and towers in the mountains and forests.
Ɔkyekyeree nkurow wɔ Yuda mmepɔw asase so, sisii aban ne abantenten wɔ mmeaemmeae a wɔadua nnua.
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.
Yotam tuu Amonfo so sa, dii wɔn so nkonim. Mfe abiɛsa a edi kan no de, ogyee wɔn sonkahiri a ɛyɛ dwetɛ tɔn 3.4, awi susukoraa mpem aduonum ne atoko susukoraa mpem aduonum.
6 Jotham grew powerful because he made sure what he did followed the ways of the Lord his God.
Ɔhene Yotam nyaa tumi kɛse, efisɛ ɔde ahwɛyie yɛɛ osetie maa Awurade, ne Nyankopɔn.
7 The rest of what Jotham did, his wars and other events, were written in the Book of the Kings of Israel and Judah.
Yotam ahenni ho nsɛm nkae a nʼakodi ne ne nneyɛe ahorow ka ho no, wɔakyerɛw agu Israel ne Yuda ahemfo nhoma mu.
8 He was twenty-five when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem for sixteen years.
Odii ade no, na wadi mfirihyia aduonu anum, na odii hene wɔ Yerusalem mfirihyia dunsia.
9 Jotham died and was buried in the City of David. His son Ahaz took over as king.
Yotam wui no, wosiee no Dawid kurom. Ne babarima Ahas, na odii nʼade sɛ ɔhene.
