2 Chronicles 27

1 Jotham [was] twenty and five years old when he began to reign and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem. His mother's name also [was] Jerushah, the daughter of Zadok.

Jotám je bil star petindvajset let, ko je začel kraljevati in v Jeruzalemu je kraljeval šestnajst let. Ime njegove matere je bilo Jerúša, Cadókova hči.

2 And he did [that which was] right in the sight of the LORD, according to all that his father Uzziah did: yet, he entered not into the temple of the LORD. And the people did yet corruptly.

Delal je to, kar je bilo pravilno v Gospodovih očeh, glede na vse to, kar je delal njegov oče Uzíjah. Vendar ni vstopil v Gospodov tempelj. Ljudstvo pa je še počelo izprijeno.

3 He built the high gate of the house of the LORD, and on the wall of Ophel he built much.

Zgradil je visoka velika vrata Gospodove hiše in na obzidju Ofele je mnogo gradil.

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

Poleg tega je zgradil mesta v Judovih gorah in v gozdovih je zgradil gradove in stolpe.

5 He fought also with the king of the Ammonites, and prevailed against them. And the children of Ammon gave him the same year a hundred talents of silver, and ten thousand measures of wheat, and ten thousand of barley. So much did the children of Ammon pay to him, both the second year, and the third.

Boril se je tudi s kraljem Amóncev in prevladal zoper njih. Amónovi otroci so mu isto leto dali sto talentov srebra, sto tisoč mer pšenice in deset tisoč [mer] ječmena. Toliko so mu Amónovi otroci plačali tako drugo leto kakor tretje leto.

6 So Jotham became mighty, because he prepared his ways before the LORD his God.

Tako je Jotám postal mogočen, ker je pripravil svoje poti pred Gospodom, svojim Bogom.

7 Now the rest of the acts of Jotham, and all his wars, and his ways, see, they [are] written in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah.

Torej preostala izmed Jotámovih dejanj in vse njegove vojne in njegove poti, glej, zapisane so v knjigi Izraelovih in Judovih kraljev.

8 He was five and twenty years old when he began to reign, and reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem.

Star je bil petindvajset let, ko je začel kraljevati in v Jeruzalemu je kraljeval šestnajst let.

9 And Jotham slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city of David: and Ahaz his son reigned in his stead.

Jotám je zaspal s svojimi očeti in pokopali so ga v Davidovem mestu in namesto njega je zakraljeval njegov sin Aház.
