2 Chronicles 27

1 Jotham was twenty and five years old when he began to reign; and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem; and his mother's name was Jerushah the daughter of Zadok.

Jotham var fem och tjugu åra gammal, då han Konung vardt, och regerade i sexton år i Jerusalem; hans moder het Jerusa, Zadoks dotter.

2 And he did that which was right in the eyes of the LORD, according to all that his father Uzziah had done; howbeit he entered not into the temple of the LORD. And the people did yet corruptly.

Och han gjorde det Herranom väl behagade, såsom hans fader Ussia gjort hade; undantagno, att han icke gick i Herrans tempel. Och folket bar sig ännu illa åt.

3 He built the upper gate of the house of the LORD, and on the wall of Ophel he built much.

Han byggde den höga porten i Herrans hus, och uppå muren Ophel byggde han mycket;

4 Moreover he built cities in the hill-country of Judah, and in the forest he built castles and towers.

Och byggde städer på Juda berg, och i skogomen byggde han slott och torn.

5 He fought also with the king of the children of Ammon, and prevailed against them. And the children of Ammon gave him the same year a hundred talents of silver, and ten thousand measures of wheat, and ten thousand of barley. So much did the children of Ammon render unto him, in the second year also, and in the third.

Och han stridde med Ammons barnas Konung; och han vardt dem öfvermägtig; så att Ammons barn gåfvo honom i de samma årena hundrade centen er silfver, tio tusend corar hvete, och tiotusend corar bjugg; så mycket gåfvo ock Ammons barn honom i de andra och tredje årena.

6 So Jotham became mighty, because he ordered his ways before the LORD his God.

Alltså vardt Jotham mägtig; ty han skickade sina vägar för Herranom sinom Gud.

7 Now the rest of the acts of Jotham, and all his wars, and his ways, behold, they are written in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah.

Hvad nu mer af Jotham sägande är, och alla hans strider, och hans vägar, si, det är skrifvet i Israels och Juda Konungars bok.

8 He was five and twenty years old when he began to reign, and reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem.

Fem och tjugu åra gammal var han, då han Konung vardt; och regerade i sexton år i Jerusalem.

9 And Jotham slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city of David; and Ahaz his son reigned in his stead.

Och Jotham afsomnade med sina fader; och de begrofvo honom i Davids stad. Och hans son Ahas vardt Konung i hans stad.
