< 2 Chronicles 27 >
1 A son of twenty and five years [is] Jotham in his reigning, and sixteen years he hath reigned in Jerusalem, and the name of his mother [is] Jerushah daughter of Zadok.
Yotamu anakhala mfumu ali ndi zaka 25 ndipo analamulira mu Yerusalemu kwa zaka 16. Dzina la amayi ake linali Yerusa mwana wa Zadoki.
2 And he doth that which is right in the eyes of Jehovah, according to all that Uzziah his father did; only, he hath not come in unto the temple of Jehovah; and again are the people doing corruptly.
Iye anachita zolungama pamaso pa Yehova, monga anachitira Uziya abambo ake, kupatula kuti iyeyo sanalowe mʼNyumba ya Yehova. Komabe anthu anapitirira kuchita zoyipa.
3 He hath built the upper gate of the house of Jehovah, and in the wall of Ophel he hath built abundantly;
Yotamu anamanganso chipata chakumtunda cha Nyumba ya Yehova ndipo anagwira ntchito yayikulu yomanga khoma la ku phiri la Ofeli.
4 and cities he hath built in the hill-country of Judah, and in the forests he hath built palaces and towers.
Iye anamanga mizinda mʼmapiri a ku Yuda ndipo anamanganso malinga ndi nsanja mʼmadera a ku nkhalango.
5 And he hath fought with the king of the sons of Ammon, and prevaileth over them, and the sons of Ammon give to him in that year a hundred talents of silver, and ten thousand cors of wheat, and of barley ten thousand; this have the sons of Ammon returned to him both in the second year, and in the third.
Yotamu anachita nkhondo ndi mfumu ya Aamoni ndipo anawagonjetsa. Chaka chimenecho Aamoni anapereka makilogalamu 3,400, matani 1,000 a tirigu ndiponso matani 1,000 a barele. Aamoni anabweretsa zinthu zomwezi chaka chachiwiri ndi chachitatu.
6 And Jotham doth strengthen himself, for he hath prepared his ways before Jehovah his God.
Yotamu anakula mphamvu chifukwa anayenda molungama pamaso pa Yehova Mulungu wake.
7 And the rest of the matters of Jotham, and all his battles, and his ways, lo, they are written on the book of the kings of Israel and Judah.
Zina ndi zina zokhudza ulamuliro wa Yotamu, kuphatikizapo nkhondo zake zonse ndi zinthu zina zimene anachita, zinalembedwa mʼbuku la mafumu a Israeli ndi Yuda.
8 A son of twenty and five years was he in his reigning, and sixteen years he hath reigned in Jerusalem;
Iye anakhala mfumu ali ndi zaka 25 ndipo analamulira mu Yerusalemu kwa zaka 16.
9 and Jotham lieth with his fathers, and they bury him in the city of David, and reign doth Ahaz his son in his stead.
Yotamu anamwalira ndipo anayikidwa mʼmanda mu Mzinda wa Davide. Ndipo Ahazi mwana wake analowa ufumu mʼmalo mwake.
