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.
Jotham tinha vinte e cinco anos de idade quando começou a reinar, e reinou dezesseis anos em Jerusalém. O nome de sua mãe era Jerushah, a filha de Zadok.
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.
Ele fez o que era certo aos olhos de Javé, de acordo com tudo o que seu pai Uzziah havia feito. Entretanto, ele não entrou no templo de Iavé. O povo ainda agiu de forma corrupta.
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].
Ele construiu o portão superior da casa de Iavé, e construiu muito sobre a parede de Ofel.
4 They built towns in the hills of Judah, and they built forts and defense towers in the forests.
Moreover ele construiu cidades na região montanhosa de Judá, e nas florestas ele construiu fortalezas e torres.
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.
Ele também lutou com o rei dos filhos de Amon, e prevaleceu contra eles. Os filhos de Amon lhe deram no mesmo ano cem talentos de prata, dez mil coros de trigo e dez mil coros de cevada. Os filhos de Ammon também lhe deram tanto no segundo ano, e no terceiro.
6 Jotham faithfully obeyed Yahweh his God, and as a result he became a very powerful king.
Então Jotham tornou-se poderoso, porque ordenou seus caminhos diante de Yahweh 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’.
Agora o resto dos atos de Jotão, e todas as suas guerras e seus caminhos, eis que estão escritos no livro dos reis de Israel e Judá.
8 After Jotham had ruled Judah for 16 years, he died when he was 41 years old.
Ele tinha vinte e cinco anos quando começou a reinar, e reinou dezesseis anos em Jerusalém.
9 He was buried in Jerusalem, and his son Ahaz became the king [of Judah].
Jotham dormiu com seus pais, e o enterraram na cidade de Davi; e Acaz seu filho reinou em seu lugar.
