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.

١ كَانَ يُوثَامُ ٱبْنَ خَمْسٍ وَعِشْرِينَ سَنَةً حِينَ مَلَكَ، وَمَلَكَ سِتَّ عَشَرَةَ سَنَةً فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ، وَٱسْمُ أُمِّهِ يَرُوشَةُ بِنْتُ صَادُوقَ.

2 He did that which was right in the eyes of YHWH, according to all that his father Uzziah had done: however he did not enter into YHWH's temple. The people still did corruptly.

٢ وَعَمِلَ ٱلْمُسْتَقِيمَ فِي عَيْنَيِ ٱلرَّبِّ حَسَبَ كُلِّ مَا عَمِلَ عُزِّيَّا أَبُوهُ، إِلَّا أَنَّهُ لَمْ يَدْخُلْ هَيْكَلَ ٱلرَّبِّ. وَكَانَ ٱلشَّعْبُ يُفْسِدُونَ بَعْدُ.

3 He built the Upper Gate of the house of YHWH, and he carried out considerable work on the wall of Ophel.

٣ هُوَ بَنَى ٱلْبَابَ ٱلْأَعْلَى لِبَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ، وَبَنَى كَثِيرًا عَلَى سُورِ ٱلْأَكَمَةِ.

4 Moreover he built cities in the hill country of Judah, and in the forests he built fortresses and towers.

٤ وَبَنَى مُدُنًا فِي جَبَلِ يَهُوذَا، وَبَنَى فِي ٱلْغَابَاتِ قِلَعًا وَأَبْرَاجًا.

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.

٥ وَهُوَ حَارَبَ مَلِكَ بَنِي عَمُّونَ وَقَوِيَ عَلَيْهِمْ، فَأَعْطَاهُ بَنُو عَمُّونَ فِي تِلْكَ ٱلسَّنَةِ مِئَةَ وَزْنَةٍ مِنَ ٱلْفِضَّةِ، وَعَشَرَةَ آلَافِ كُرِّ قَمْحٍ، وَعَشَرَةَ آلَافٍ مِنَ ٱلشَّعِيرِ. هَذَا مَا أَدَّاهُ لَهُ بَنُو عَمُّونَ، وَكَذَلِكَ فِي ٱلسَّنَةِ ٱلثَّانِيَةِ وَٱلثَّالِثَةِ.

6 So Jotham became mighty, because he ordered his ways before YHWH his God.

٦ وَتَشَدَّدَ يُوثَامُ لِأَنَّهُ هَيَّأَ طُرُقَهُ أَمَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِهِ.

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.

٧ وَبَقِيَّةُ أُمُورِ يُوثَامَ وَكُلُّ حُرُوبِهِ وَطُرُقِهِ، هَاهِيَ مَكْتُوبَةٌ فِي سِفْرِ مُلُوكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَيَهُوذَا.

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

٨ كَانَ ٱبْنَ خَمْسٍ وَعِشْرِينَ سَنَةً حِينَ مَلَكَ، وَمَلَكَ سِتَّ عَشَرَةَ سَنَةً فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ.

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

٩ ثُمَّ ٱضْطَجَعَ يُوثَامُ مَعَ آبَائِهِ فَدَفَنُوهُ فِي مَدِينَةِ دَاوُدَ، وَمَلَكَ آحَازُ ٱبْنُهُ عِوَضًا عَنْهُ.
