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.
De vinte e cinco anos era Jotão quando começou a reinar, e dezesseis anos reinou em Jerusalém. O nome de sua mãe foi Jerusa, filha de Zadoque.
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.
E fez o que era correto em olhos do SENHOR, conforme a todas as coisas que havia feito Uzias seu pai, salvo que não entrou no templo do SENHOR. E o povo corrompia-se ainda.
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].
Edificou ele a porta maior da casa do SENHOR, e no muro da fortaleza edificou muito.
4 They built towns in the hills of Judah, and they built forts and defense towers in the forests.
Ademais edificou cidades nas montanhas de Judá, e preparou palácios e torres nos bosques.
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.
Também teve ele guerra com o rei dos filhos de Amom, aos quais venceu; e deram-lhe os filhos de Amom naquele ano cem talentos de prata, e dez mil coros de trigo, e dez mil de cevada. Isto lhe deram os filhos de Amom, e o mesmo no segundo ano, e no terceiro.
6 Jotham faithfully obeyed Yahweh his God, and as a result he became a very powerful king.
Assim que Jotão foi fortificado, porque preparou seus caminhos diante do SENHOR seu Deus.
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’.
Os demais dos feitos de Jotão, e todas suas guerras, e seus caminhos, eis que estão escrito no livro dos reis de Israel e de Judá.
8 After Jotham had ruled Judah for 16 years, he died when he was 41 years old.
Quando começou a reinar era de vinte e cinco anos, e dezesseis reinou em Jerusalém.
9 He was buried in Jerusalem, and his son Ahaz became the king [of Judah].
E descansou Jotão com seus pais, e sepultaram-no na cidade de Davi; e reinou em seu lugar Acaz seu filho.
