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.
Si Joatham ay may dalawangpu't limang taon nang siya'y magpasimulang maghari; at siya'y nagharing labing anim na taon sa Jerusalem: at ang pangalan ng kaniyang ina ay Jerusa na anak ni Sadoc.
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.
At siya'y gumawa ng matuwid sa harap ng mga mata ng Panginoon, ayon sa lahat na ginawa ng kaniyang amang si Uzzias: gayon ma'y hindi siya pumasok sa templo ng Panginoon, At ang bayan ay gumawa pa ng kapahamakan.
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].
Siya'y nagtayo ng mataas na pintuang-daan ng bahay ng Panginoon, at sa kuta ng Ophel ay nagtayo siya ng marami.
4 They built towns in the hills of Judah, and they built forts and defense towers in the forests.
Bukod dito'y nagtayo siya ng mga bayan sa lupaing maburol ng Juda, at sa mga gubat ay nagtayo siya ng mga palasyo at mga moog.
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.
Siya'y nakipaglaban din naman sa hari ng mga anak ni Ammon, at nanaig laban sa kanila. At ang mga anak ni Ammon ay nagsipagbigay sa kaniya ng taon ding yaon ng isang daang talentong pilak, at sangpung libong karo ng trigo, at sangpung libo ng sebada. Gayon ding karami ang ibinayad ng mga anak ni Ammon sa kaniya sa ikalawang taon naman, at sa ikatlo.
6 Jotham faithfully obeyed Yahweh his God, and as a result he became a very powerful king.
Sa gayo'y si Joatham ay naging makapangyarihan, sapagka't kaniyang inayos ang kaniyang mga lakad sa harap ng Panginoon niyang Dios.
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’.
Ang iba nga sa mga gawa ni Joatham, at ang lahat niyang mga pakikipagdigma, at ang kaniyang mga lakad, narito, nangasusulat sa aklat ng mga hari sa Israel, at sa Juda.
8 After Jotham had ruled Judah for 16 years, he died when he was 41 years old.
Siya'y may dalawangpu't limang taon nang siya'y magpasimulang maghari, at nagharing labing anim na taon sa Jerusalem.
9 He was buried in Jerusalem, and his son Ahaz became the king [of Judah].
At si Joatham ay natulog na kasama ng kaniyang mga magulang, at inilibing nila siya sa bayan ni David: at si Achaz na kaniyang anak ay naghari na kahalili niya.
