2 Chronicles 27
1 Jotham was twenty-five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Jerushah the daughter of Zadok.
Yotam xɔ ƒe blaeve vɔ atɔ̃ esi wòzu fia eye wòɖu fia ƒe wuiade le Yerusalem. Dadae nye Yerusa, Zadok ƒe vinyɔnu.
2 He did that which was right in the LORD’s eyes, according to all that his father Uzziah had done. However he didn’t enter into the LORD’s temple. The people still acted corruptly.
Yotam Ewɔ nu dzɔdzɔe le Yehowa ŋkume, abe ale si fofoa, Uzia, wɔ ene. Ke eya mege ɖe gbedoxɔ la me abe fofoa ene o; ke eƒe amewo ya yi nu gbegblẽ wɔwɔ dzi.
3 He built the upper gate of the LORD’s house, and he built much on the wall of Ophel.
Yotam tu Dzigbegbo ɖe gbedoxɔ la ŋu eye wògbugbɔ gli siwo le Ofel toa dzi, afi si gbedoxɔ la le la ƒe akpa gã aɖe tu.
4 Moreover he built cities in the hill country of Judah, and in the forests he built fortresses and towers.
Etso duwo ɖe Yuda ƒe tonyigba la dzi eye wòtu mɔwo kple xɔ kɔkɔwo ɖe avewo me le toawo dzi.
5 He also fought with the king of the children of Ammon, and prevailed against them. The children of Ammon gave him the same year one hundred talents of silver, ten thousand cors of wheat, and ten thousand cors of barley. The children of Ammon also gave that much to him in the second year, and in the third.
Yotam wɔ aʋa kple Amonitɔwo ƒe fia eye wòɖu edzi. Le ƒe ma me la, Amonitɔwo tsɔ klosalo si ƒe kpekpeme nye kilogram akpe etɔ̃ alafa ene, lu tɔn akpe eve alafa eve kple ƒo tɔn akpe eve alafa eve vɛ nɛ. Amonitɔwo tsɔ nu siawo ke vɛ nɛ le ƒe evelia kple etɔ̃lia siaa me.
6 So Jotham became mighty, because he ordered his ways before the LORD his God.
Fia Yotam kpɔ ŋusẽ ŋutɔ elabena ekpɔ egbɔ be yezɔ nyuie le Yehowa, eƒe Mawu la ƒe mɔ dzi ɣe sia ɣi.
7 Now the rest of the acts of Jotham, and all his wars and his ways, behold, they are written in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah.
Woŋlɔ Yotam ƒe ŋutinya mamlɛa, eƒe aʋawɔwɔwo kple eƒe wɔna bubuwo ɖe Israel fiawo kple Yuda fiawo ƒe Ŋutinyawo me.
8 He was twenty-five years old when he began to reign, and reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem.
Le ŋutinya la nu la, Yotam xɔ ƒe blaeve vɔ atɔ̃ esi wòzu fia eye wòɖu fia le Yerusalem ƒe wuiade.
9 Jotham slept with his fathers, and they buried him in David’s city; and Ahaz his son reigned in his place.
Esi wòku la, woɖii ɖe David ƒe du la me eye via Ahaz ɖu fia ɖe eteƒe.
