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.
Сын двадесяти и пяти лет бяше Иоафам, егда царствовати нача, и шестьнадесять лет царствова во Иерусалиме. Имя же матере его Иеруса, дщи 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.
И сотвори правое пред Господем по всем, яже сотвори Озиа отец его, обаче не вниде в церковь Господню, и еще людие согрешаху.
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].
Той созда врата дому Господня высокая, и на стене Офли созда многа:
4 They built towns in the hills of Judah, and they built forts and defense towers in the forests.
и грады созда на горах Иудиных, и в дубравех дворы и столпы.
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 той ополчися противу царя сынов Аммоних и одоле его: и даяху ему сынове Аммони на всякое лето по сту талант сребра и десять тысящ кор (мер) пшеницы и десять тысящ ячменя: сия ему приношаше царь сынов Аммоних на лето, в первое лето и второе и третие.
6 Jotham faithfully obeyed Yahweh his God, and as a result he became a very powerful king.
И укрепися Иоафам, яко уготова пути своя пред Господем Богом своим.
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’.
Прочая же словеса Иоафамля, и брань, и деяния его, се, писана в книзе царей Иудиных и Израилевых.
8 After Jotham had ruled Judah for 16 years, he died when he was 41 years old.
Сын двадесяти и пяти лет бяше, егда царствовати нача, и шестьнадесять лет царствова во Иерусалиме.
9 He was buried in Jerusalem, and his son Ahaz became the king [of Judah].
Успе же Иоафам со отцы своими и погребен бысть во граде Давидове. И воцарися Ахаз сын его вместо его.
