2 Chronicles 27

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

E rua tekau ma rima nga tau o Iotama i tona kingitanga, a kotahi tekau ma ono nga tau i kingi ai ia ki Hiruharama; a ko te ingoa hoki o tona whaea ko Ieruha, he tamahine na Haroko.

2 And he did that which was right in the sight of YHWH, according to all that his father Uzziah did: howbeit he entered not into the temple of YHWH. And the people did yet corruptly.

A he tika tana mahi ki ta Ihowa titiro, i rite ki nga mea katoa i mea ai a Utia, tona papa. Otiia kihai ia i tomo ki te temepara o Ihowa. I mahi tonu te iwi i te he.

3 He built the high gate of the house of YHWH, and on the wall of Ophel he built much.

Nana i hanga te kuwaha o runga o te whare o Ihowa, a he nui te wahi i hanga e ia ki runga ki te taiepa i Opere.

4 Moreover he built cities in the mountains of Judah, and in the forests he built castles and towers.

I hanga ano e ia etahi pa ki nga maunga o Hura; hanga ana ano e ia etahi taumaihi, etahi pourewa ki nga ngahere.

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

I whawhai ano ia ki te kingi o nga tama a Amona, a taea ana ratou e ia. A homai ana e nga tama a Amona ki a ia i taua tau kotahi rau taranata hiriwa, tekau mano mehua witi, he parei hoki tekau nga mano. Ko nga utu enei i homai e nga tama a Amona ki a ia, i te rua ano o nga tau, a i te toru ano hoki.

6 So Jotham became mighty, because he prepared his ways before YHWH his Elohim.

Heoi ka kaha haere a Iotama, no te mea i whakatikaia e ia ona huarahi i te aroaro o Ihowa, o tona Atua.

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

Na, ko era atu meatanga a Iotama, me ana whawhai katoa, me ona huarahi, nana, kua oti te tuhituhi ki te pukapuka o nga kingi o Iharaira raua ko Hura.

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

E rua tekau ma rima ona tau i tona kingitanga, a tekau ma ono nga tau i kingi ai ia ki Hiruharama.

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

Na kua moe a Iotama ki ona matua, a tanumia iho ki te pa o Rawiri, a ko tana tama, ko Ahata, te kingi i muri i a ia.
