< Chronicles II 27 >
1 Joatham [was] twenty and five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem: and his mother's name [was] Jerusa, daughter of Sadoc.
Двадесет и пет година беше Јотаму кад поче царовати, и царова шеснаест година у Јерусалиму; матери му беше име Јеруса, кћи Садокова.
2 And he did that which was right in the sight of the Lord, according to all that his father Ozias did: but he went not into the temple of the Lord. And still the people corrupted themselves.
Он чињаше што је право пред Господом сасвим како је чинио Озија отац његов, само што не уђе у цркву Господњу; али народ још беше покварен.
3 He built the high gate of the house of the Lord, and he built much in the wall of Opel.
Он начини висока врата на дому Господњем, и на зиду Офилу много назида.
4 In the mountain of Juda, and in the woods, [he built] both dwelling-places and towers.
Још сазида и градове у гори Јудиној, и у шумама погради дворове и куле.
5 He fought against the king of the children of Ammon, and prevailed against him: and the children of Ammon gave him even annually a hundred talents of silver, and ten thousand measures of wheat, and ten thousand of barley. These the king of the children of Ammon brought to him annually in the first and second and third years.
И војева с царем синова Амонових и савлада их; и дадоше му синови Амонови оне године сто таланата сребра и десет хиљада кора пшенице и јечма десет хиљада. Толико му дадоше синови Амонови и друге и треће године.
6 Joatham grew strong, because he prepared his ways before the Lord his God.
И тако осили Јотам, јер управи путеве своје пред Господом Богом својим.
7 And the rest of the acts of Joatham, and his war, and his deeds, behold, [they are] written in the book of the kings of Juda and Israel.
А остала дела Јотамова и ратови сви његови и путеви његови, ено су записани у књизи о царевима Израиљевим и Јудиним.
Двадесет и пет година беше му кад поче царовати, и царова шеснаест година у Јерусалиму.
9 And Joatham slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David: and Achaz his son reigned in his stead.
И почину Јотам код отаца својих, и погребоше га у граду Давидовом; а на његово се место зацари Ахаз, син његов.
