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.

Yotam dii hene no, na wadi mfirihyia aduonu anum. Odii hene wɔ Yerusalem mfirihyia dunsia. Na ne na a ɔyɛ Sadok babea no din de Yerusa.

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.

Ɔyɛɛ nea ɛsɔ Awurade ani sɛnea nʼagya Usia yɛe no. Yotam de, wankɔ Awurade Asɔredan mu sɛnea nʼagya yɛe no. Nanso ɔmanfo no toaa wɔn nnebɔneyɛ so.

3 He built the upper gate of the house of Yahweh, and on the hill of Ophel he built much.

Yotam san yɛɛ Atifi Pon a ɛwɔ Awurade Asɔredan no ho, na ɔsan yɛɛ nnwuma bebree de siesiee ɔfasu a ɛwɔ Ofel bepɔw so no.

4 Moreover he built cities in the hill country of Judah, and in the forests he built castles and towers.

Ɔkyekyeree nkurow wɔ Yuda mmepɔw asase so, sisii aban ne abantenten wɔ mmeaemmeae a wɔadua nnua.

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.

Yotam tuu Amonfo so sa, dii wɔn so nkonim. Mfe abiɛsa a edi kan no de, ogyee wɔn sonkahiri a ɛyɛ dwetɛ tɔn 3.4, awi susukoraa mpem aduonum ne atoko susukoraa mpem aduonum.

6 So Jotham became powerful because he walked firmly before Yahweh his God.

Ɔhene Yotam nyaa tumi kɛse, efisɛ ɔde ahwɛyie yɛɛ osetie maa Awurade, ne Nyankopɔn.

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.

Yotam ahenni ho nsɛm nkae a nʼakodi ne ne nneyɛe ahorow ka ho no, wɔakyerɛw agu Israel ne Yuda ahemfo nhoma mu.

8 He was twenty-five years old when he began to reign; he reigned for sixteen years in Jerusalem.

Odii ade no, na wadi mfirihyia aduonu anum, na odii hene wɔ Yerusalem mfirihyia dunsia.

9 Jotham slept with his ancestors, and they buried him in the city of David. Ahaz, his son, became king in his place.

Yotam wui no, wosiee no Dawid kurom. Ne babarima Ahas, na odii nʼade sɛ ɔhene.
