< 2 Chronicles 27 >

1 Jotham was twenty-five years old when he began to reign; he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Jerushah; she was the daughter of Zadok.
Jotam var fem og tyve År gammel, da han blev Konge, og han herskede seksten År i Jerusalem. Hans Moder hed Jerusja og var Datter af Zadok.
2 He did what was right in the eyes of Yahweh, following the example of his father, Uzziah, in everything. He also refrained from going into the temple of Yahweh. But the people were still behaving in evil ways.
Han gjorde, hvad der var ret i HERRENs Øjne, ganske som hans Fader Uzzija havde gjort, men han gik ikke ind i HERRENs Helligdom. Men Folket gjorde fremdeles, hvad fordærveligt var.
3 He built the upper gate of the house of Yahweh, and on the hill of Ophel he built much.
Det var ham, der opførte Øvreporten i HERRENs Hus, og desuden byggede han meget på Ofels Mur.
4 Moreover he built cities in the hill country of Judah, and in the forests he built castles and towers.
Han opførte Byer i Judas Bjerge og Borge og Tårne i Skovene.
5 He fought also with the king of the people of Ammon and defeated them. In that same year, the people of Ammon gave him one hundred talents of silver, ten thousand measures of wheat, ten thousand measures of barley. The people of Ammon gave him the same in the second and third years.
Han førte Krig med Ammoniternes Konge og overvandt dem, så Ammoniterne det År måtte svare ham 100 Talenter Sølv, 10.000 Kor Hvede og 10.000 Kor Byg i Skat; og lige så meget svarede Ammoniterne ham det andet og tredje År.
6 So Jotham became powerful because he walked firmly before Yahweh his God.
Således blev Jotam stærk, fordi han vandrede troligt for HERREN sin Guds Åsyn.
7 As for the other matters concerning Jotham, all his wars, and his ways, see, they are written in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah.
Hvad der ellers er at fortælle om Jotam, alle hans Krige og Foretagender, står jo optegnet i Bogen om Israels og Judas Konger.
8 He was twenty-five years old when he began to reign; he reigned for sixteen years in Jerusalem.
Han var fem og tyve År gammel, da han blev Konge, og han herskede seksten År i Jerusalem.
9 Jotham slept with his ancestors, and they buried him in the city of David. Ahaz, his son, became king in his place.
Så lagde Jotam sig til Hvile hos sine Fædre, og man jordede ham i Davidsbyen; oghans Søn Akazblev Konge i hans Sted.
