< 2 Chronicles 27 >

1 Jotham was twenty-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.
كَانَ يُوثَامُ فِي الْخَامِسَةِ وَالْعِشْرِينَ مِنْ عُمْرِهِ حِينَ مَلَكَ، وَدَامَ حُكْمُهُ سِتَّ عَشْرَةَ سَنَةً فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ، وَاسْمُ أُمِّهِ يَرُوشَةُ بِنْتُ صَادُوقَ.١
2 He did that which was right in the eyes of the LORD, according to all that his father Uzziah had done: however he did not enter into the LORD's temple. The people still did corruptly.
وَصَنَعَ كُلَّ مَا هُوَ قَوِيمٌ فِي عَيْنَيِ الرَّبِّ عَلَى غِرَارِ مَا نَهَجَ عَلَيْهِ أَبُوهُ عُزِّيَّا، إِلّا أَنَّهُ لَمْ يُغِرْ عَلَى هَيْكَلِ الرَّبِّ، إلّا أَنَّ الشَّعْبَ ثَابَرَ عَلَى ارْتِكَابِ الآثَامِ.٢
3 He built the Upper Gate of the house of the LORD, and he carried out considerable work on the wall of Ophel.
وَقَدْ قَامَ يُوثَامُ بِبِنَاءِ الْبَابِ الأَعْلَى لِهَيْكَلِ الرَّبِّ، وَأَضَافَ كَثِيراً إِلَى سُورِ الأَكَمَةِ.٣
4 Moreover he built cities in the hill country of Judah, and in the forests he built fortresses and towers.
وَبَنَى مُدُناً فِي جَبَلِ يَهُوذَا وَشَيَّدَ أَبْرَاجاً وَقِلاعاً فِي الْغَابَاتِ.٤
5 He fought also with the king of the people of Ammon, and prevailed against them. The people of Ammon gave him the same year one hundred talents of silver, and ten thousand measures of wheat, and ten thousand of barley. The people of Ammon gave that much to him in the second year also, and in the third.
وَحَارَبَ مَلِكَ عَمُّونَ وَهَزَمَهُ، فَدَفَعُوا لَهُ الْجِزْيَةَ فِي تِلْكَ السَّنَةِ: مِئَةَ وَزْنَةٍ (نَحْوَ ثَلاثَةِ آلافٍ وَسِتِّ مِئَةِ كِيلُو جِرَامٍ) مِنَ الْفِضَّةِ وَعَشَرَةَ آلافِ كِيسِ قَمْحٍ وَعَشَرَةَ آلافٍ مِنَ الشَّعِيرِ. وَقَدْ أَدَّى لَهُ الْعَمُّونِيُّونَ نَفْسَ الْجِزْيَةِ فِي السَّنَةِ الثَّانِيَةِ وَالثَّالِثَةِ.٥
6 So Jotham became mighty, because he ordered his ways before the LORD his God.
وَعَظُمَ نُفُوذُ يُوثَامَ لأَنَّهُ سَلَكَ بِأَمَانَةٍ فِي طَاعَةِ الرَّبِّ إِلَهِهِ.٦
7 Now the rest of the acts of Jotham, and all his wars, and his ways, look, they are written in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah.
أَمَّا بَقِيَّةُ أَخْبَارِ يُوثَامَ وَكُلُّ حُرُوبِهِ وَمُنْجَزَاتِهِ، أَلَيْسَتْ هِيَ مُدَوَّنَةً فِي كِتَابِ تَارِيخِ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَيَهُوذَا؟٧
8 He was five and twenty years old when he began to reign, and reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem.
كَانَ يُوثَامُ فِي الْخَامِسَةِ وَالْعِشْرِينَ مِنْ عُمْرِهِ حِينَ تَوَلَّى الْمُلْكَ، وَدَامَ حُكْمُهُ سِتَّ عَشْرَةَ سَنَةً فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ.٨
9 Jotham slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the City of David: and Ahaz his son reigned in his place.
ثُمَّ مَاتَ فَدَفَنُوهُ فِي مَدِينَةِ دَاوُدَ، وَخَلَفَهُ ابْنُهُ آحَازُ عَلَى الْمُلْكِ.٩
