2 Chronicles 27
1 twenty-five years old, was Jotham when he began to reign, and, sixteen years, reigned he in Jerusalem, —and, the name of his mother, was Jerushah, daughter of Zadok.
Yotamu anakhala mfumu ali ndi zaka 25 ndipo analamulira mu Yerusalemu kwa zaka 16. Dzina la amayi ake linali Yerusa mwana wa Zadoki.
2 And he did that which was right in the eyes of Yahweh, according to all that Uzziah his father had done, only he entered not into the temple of Yahweh, —though still were the people acting corruptly.
Iye anachita zolungama pamaso pa Yehova, monga anachitira Uziya abambo ake, kupatula kuti iyeyo sanalowe mʼNyumba ya Yehova. Komabe anthu anapitirira kuchita zoyipa.
3 He, built the upper gate of the house of Yahweh, -and, on the wall of Ophel, built he extensively.
Yotamu anamanganso chipata chakumtunda cha Nyumba ya Yehova ndipo anagwira ntchito yayikulu yomanga khoma la ku phiri la Ofeli.
4 Cities also, built he, in the hill country of Judah, —and, in the thick woods, built he fortresses and towers.
Iye anamanga mizinda mʼmapiri a ku Yuda ndipo anamanganso malinga ndi nsanja mʼmadera a ku nkhalango.
5 He, also made war against the king of the sons of Ammon, and prevailed against them, and the sons of Ammon gave him, during that year, a hundred talents of silver, and ten thousand measures of wheat, and, of barley, ten thousand, —this, did the sons of Ammon render him, both in the second year, and the third.
Yotamu anachita nkhondo ndi mfumu ya Aamoni ndipo anawagonjetsa. Chaka chimenecho Aamoni anapereka makilogalamu 3,400, matani 1,000 a tirigu ndiponso matani 1,000 a barele. Aamoni anabweretsa zinthu zomwezi chaka chachiwiri ndi chachitatu.
6 So Jotham strengthened himself, —for he fixed his ways before Yahweh his God.
Yotamu anakula mphamvu chifukwa anayenda molungama pamaso pa Yehova Mulungu wake.
7 But, the rest of the story of Jotham, and all his wars, and his ways, lo! there they are written in the book of the Kings of Israel and Judah.
Zina ndi zina zokhudza ulamuliro wa Yotamu, kuphatikizapo nkhondo zake zonse ndi zinthu zina zimene anachita, zinalembedwa mʼbuku la mafumu a Israeli ndi Yuda.
8 Twenty-five years old, was he when he began to reign, —and, sixteen years, reigned he in Jerusalem.
Iye anakhala mfumu ali ndi zaka 25 ndipo analamulira mu Yerusalemu kwa zaka 16.
9 And Jotham slept with his fathers, and they buried him, in the city of David, —and Ahaz his son reigned in his stead.
Yotamu anamwalira ndipo anayikidwa mʼmanda mu Mzinda wa Davide. Ndipo Ahazi mwana wake analowa ufumu mʼmalo mwake.
