2 Chronicles 27
1 Jotham [is] a son of twenty-five years in his reigning, and he has reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem, and the name of his mother [is] Jerushah daughter of Zadok.
Jotam var fem og tyve år da han blev konge, og regjerte seksten år i Jerusalem; hans mor hette Jerusa og var datter av Sadok.
2 And he does that which is right in the eyes of YHWH, according to all that his father Uzziah did; only, he has not come into the temple of YHWH; and again the people are doing corruptly.
Han gjorde hvad rett var i Herrens øine, aldeles som hans far Ussias hadde gjort; men han gikk ikke inn i Herrens helligdom. Men folket vedblev med å gjøre hvad ondt var.
3 He has built the Upper Gate of the house of YHWH, and in the wall of Ophel he has built abundantly;
Han bygget den øvre port til Herrens hus, og på Ofel-muren bygget han meget.
4 and he has built cities in the hill-country of Judah, and he has built palaces and towers in the forests.
Han bygget også byer i Judafjellene, og i skogene bygget han borger og tårn.
5 And he has fought with the king of the sons of Ammon, and prevails over them, and the sons of Ammon give to him in that year one hundred talents of silver, and ten thousand cors of wheat, and ten thousand of barley; the sons of Ammon have returned this to him both in the second year and in the third.
Han førte krig med Ammons barns konge og overvant dem, så at Ammons barn det år måtte gi ham hundre talenter sølv og ti tusen kor hvete og ti tusen kor bygg; det samme måtte Ammons barn gi ham også i det annet og det tredje år.
6 And Jotham strengthens himself, for he has prepared his ways before his God YHWH.
Således blev Jotam mektig, fordi han stadig vandret for Herrens, sin Guds åsyn.
7 And the rest of the matters of Jotham, and all his battles, and his ways, behold, they are written on the scroll of the kings of Israel and Judah.
Hvad som ellers er å fortelle om Jotam, om alle hans kriger og alt det han tok sig fore, det er opskrevet i boken om Israels og Judas konger.
8 He was a son of twenty-five years in his reigning, and he has reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem;
Han var fem og tyve år gammel da han blev konge, og regjerte seksten år i Jerusalem.
9 and Jotham lies with his fathers, and they bury him in the City of David, and his son Ahaz reigns in his stead.
Og Jotam la sig til hvile hos sine fedre, og de begravde ham i Davids stad; og hans sønn Akas blev konge i hans sted.
