2 Chronicles 27
1 Twenty and five years old was Jotham when he became king, and sixteen years did he reign in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Yerushah, the daughter of Zadok.
Jotham war fünfundzwanzig Jahre alt, da er König ward, und regierete sechzehn Jahre zu Jerusalem. Seine Mutter hieß Jerusa, eine Tochter Zadoks.
2 And he did what is right in the eyes of the Lord, in accordance with all that his father 'Uzziyahu had done: only he entered not into the temple of the Lord. But the people acted still corruptly.
Und tat, das dem HERRN wohlgefiel, wie sein Vater Usia getan hatte, ohne daß er nicht in den Tempel des HERRN ging, und das Volk sich noch verderbete.
3 He it was that built the upper gate of the house of the Lord, and on the wall of the hill-fort he built much.
Er bauete das hohe Tor am Hause des HERRN, und an der Mauer Ophel bauete er viel.
4 Moreover he built cities in the mountain of Judah, and in the forests he built castles and towers.
Und bauete die Städte auf dem Gebirge Juda, und in den Wäldern bauete er Schlösser und Türme.
5 And he likewise fought with the king of the sons of 'Ammon, and prevailed against them. And the children of 'Ammon gave him in that same year one hundred talents of silver, and ten thousand kors of wheat, and ten thousand of barley. So much did the children of 'Ammon pay unto him again, both in the second year, and in the third.
Und er stritt mit dem Könige der Kinder Ammon, und er ward ihrer mächtig, daß ihm die Kinder Ammon dasselbe Jahr gaben hundert Zentner Silbers, zehntausend Kor Weizen und zehntausend Gerste. So viel gaben ihm die Kinder Ammon auch im andern und im dritten Jahrs
6 So Jotham became strong; because he directed his ways before the Lord his God.
Also ward Jotham mächtig; denn er richtete seine Wege vor dem HERRN, seinem Gott.
7 And 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.
Was aber mehr von Jotham zu sagen ist, und alle seine Streite und seine Wege, siehe, das ist geschrieben im Buch der Könige Israels und Judas.
8 Five and twenty years old was he when he became king, and sixteen years did he reign in Jerusalem.
Fünfundzwanzig Jahre alt war er, da er König ward, und regierete sechzehn Jahre zu Jerusalem.
9 And Jotham slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city of David: and Achaz his son became king in his stead.
Und Jotham entschlief mit seinen Vätern, und sie begruben ihn in der Stadt Davids. Und sein Sohn Ahas ward König an seiner Statt.
