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.
E rua tekau ma rima nga tau o Iotama i tona kingitanga, a kotahi tekau ma ono nga tau i kingi ai ia ki Hiruharama; a ko te ingoa hoki o tona whaea ko Ieruha, he tamahine na Haroko.
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.
A he tika tana mahi ki ta Ihowa titiro, i rite ki nga mea katoa i mea ai a Utia, tona papa. Otiia kihai ia i tomo ki te temepara o Ihowa. I mahi tonu te iwi i te he.
3 He, built the upper gate of the house of Yahweh, -and, on the wall of Ophel, built he extensively.
Nana i hanga te kuwaha o runga o te whare o Ihowa, a he nui te wahi i hanga e ia ki runga ki te taiepa i Opere.
4 Cities also, built he, in the hill country of Judah, —and, in the thick woods, built he fortresses and towers.
I hanga ano e ia etahi pa ki nga maunga o Hura; hanga ana ano e ia etahi taumaihi, etahi pourewa ki nga ngahere.
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.
I whawhai ano ia ki te kingi o nga tama a Amona, a taea ana ratou e ia. A homai ana e nga tama a Amona ki a ia i taua tau kotahi rau taranata hiriwa, tekau mano mehua witi, he parei hoki tekau nga mano. Ko nga utu enei i homai e nga tama a Amona ki a ia, i te rua ano o nga tau, a i te toru ano hoki.
6 So Jotham strengthened himself, —for he fixed his ways before Yahweh his God.
Heoi ka kaha haere a Iotama, no te mea i whakatikaia e ia ona huarahi i te aroaro o Ihowa, o tona Atua.
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.
Na, ko era atu meatanga a Iotama, me ana whawhai katoa, me ona huarahi, nana, kua oti te tuhituhi ki te pukapuka o nga kingi o Iharaira raua ko Hura.
8 Twenty-five years old, was he when he began to reign, —and, sixteen years, reigned he in Jerusalem.
E rua tekau ma rima ona tau i tona kingitanga, a tekau ma ono nga tau i kingi ai ia ki Hiruharama.
9 And Jotham slept with his fathers, and they buried him, in the city of David, —and Ahaz his son reigned in his stead.
Na kua moe a Iotama ki ona matua, a tanumia iho ki te pa o Rawiri, a ko tana tama, ko Ahata, te kingi i muri i a ia.
