2 Chronicles 27
1 Jotham was 25 years old when he became the king of Judah. He ruled from Jerusalem for 16 years. His mother was Jerushah, the daughter of [the priest] Zadok.
Yootaam yeroo mootii taʼetti nama waggaa digdamii shan ture; innis Yerusaalem keessa taaʼee waggaa kudha jaʼa ni bulche. Maqaan haadha isaa Yaruusaa ture; isheenis intala Zaadoq turte.
2 Jotham did many things that pleased Yahweh like his father Uzziah did. He obeyed Yahweh and did things that are right. He did many things that his father Uzziah had done, but he did not burn incense in the temple, like his father had done. However, the people of Judah continued to sin against Yahweh.
Innis akkuma abbaan isaa Uziyaan godhe sana fuula Waaqayyoo duratti waan qajeelaa ni hojjete; inni garuu akka abbaa isaa mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyoo hin seenne. Taʼus namoonni cubbuu hojjechuu ittuma fufan.
3 Jotham’s [workers] rebuilt the Upper Gate of the temple, and they did a lot of work to repair the wall near Ophel [Hill].
Yootaam Karra mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyoo kan Ol aanu deebisee ijaare; dallaa dhagaa kan gaara Oofeel irrattis hojiiwwan ijaarsaa baayʼee ni hojjete.
4 They built towns in the hills of Judah, and they built forts and defense towers in the forests.
Gaarran Yihuudaa irratti magaalaawwan, bosona keessatti immoo daʼannoowwanii fi gamoowwan ni ijaare.
5 During the time that Jotham was the king of Judah, his army attacked and defeated the army of the Ammon people-group. Then, every year during the next three years, he required the Anmon people-group to pay to him four tons of silver, 60,000 bushels of wheat, and 60,000 bushels of barley.
Yootaamis mootii Amoonotaa waraanee isaan ni moʼate. Waggaa sana keessa Amoononni meetii taalaantii dhibba tokko, qamadii qoroosii kuma kudhanii fi garbuu safartuu qoroosii kuma kudhan ni kennaniif. Amoononni waggaa lammaffaa fi waggaa sadaffaattis hammasuma ni kaffalaniif.
6 Jotham faithfully obeyed Yahweh his God, and as a result he became a very powerful king.
Yootaam sababii fuula Waaqayyo Waaqa isaa dura amanamummaan deddeebiʼeef jabaachaa deeme.
7 A record of everything else that Jotham did during the time that he was the king, including the wars that his army fought, is written in the scroll called ‘[the History of] the Kings of Israel and Judah’.
Wantoonni bara Yootaam keessa hojjetaman biraa, lola inni lolee fi wantoonni inni hojjete biraa kitaaba mootota Israaʼelii fi Yihuudaa keessatti barreeffamaniiru.
8 After Jotham had ruled Judah for 16 years, he died when he was 41 years old.
Inni yeroo mootii taʼetti nama waggaa digdamii shan ture. Innis Yerusaalem keessa taaʼee waggaa kudha jaʼa ni bulche.
9 He was buried in Jerusalem, and his son Ahaz became the king [of Judah].
Yootaam abbootii isaa wajjin boqotee Magaalaa Daawit keessatti ni awwaalame. Ilmi isaa Aahaaz iddoo isaa buʼee mootii taʼe.
