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.
Двадесет и пет година беше Јотаму кад поче царовати, и царова шеснаест година у Јерусалиму; матери му беше име Јеруса, кћи Садокова.
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.
Он чињаше што је право пред Господом сасвим како је чинио Озија отац његов, само што не уђе у цркву Господњу; али народ још беше покварен.
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].
Он начини висока врата на дому Господњем, и на зиду Офилу много назида.
4 They built towns in the hills of Judah, and they built forts and defense towers in the forests.
Још сазида и градове у гори Јудиној, и у шумама погради дворове и куле.
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.
И војева с царем синова Амонових и савлада их; и дадоше му синови Амонови оне године сто таланата сребра и десет хиљада кора пшенице и јечма десет хиљада. Толико му дадоше синови Амонови и друге и треће године.
6 Jotham faithfully obeyed Yahweh his God, and as a result he became a very powerful king.
И тако осили Јотам, јер управи путеве своје пред Господом Богом својим.
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’.
А остала дела Јотамова и ратови сви његови и путеви његови, ено су записани у књизи о царевима Израиљевим и Јудиним.
8 After Jotham had ruled Judah for 16 years, he died when he was 41 years old.
Двадесет и пет година беше му кад поче царовати, и царова шеснаест година у Јерусалиму.
9 He was buried in Jerusalem, and his son Ahaz became the king [of Judah].
И почину Јотам код отаца својих, и погребоше га у граду Давидовом; а на његово се место зацари Ахаз, син његов.
