< 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.
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 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.
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 hath built the upper gate of the house of Jehovah, and in the wall of Ophel he hath built abundantly;
Zgradil je visoka velika vrata Gospodove hiše in na obzidju Ofele je mnogo gradil.
4 and cities he hath built in the hill-country of Judah, and in the forests he hath built palaces and towers.
Poleg tega je zgradil mesta v Judovih gorah in v gozdovih je zgradil gradove in stolpe.
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.
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 And Jotham doth strengthen himself, for he hath prepared his ways before Jehovah his God.
Tako je Jotám postal mogočen, ker je pripravil svoje poti pred Gospodom, svojim Bogom.
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.
Torej preostala izmed Jotámovih dejanj in vse njegove vojne in njegove poti, glej, zapisane so v knjigi Izraelovih in Judovih kraljev.
8 A son of twenty and five years was he in his reigning, and sixteen years he hath reigned in Jerusalem;
Star je bil petindvajset let, ko je začel kraljevati in v Jeruzalemu je kraljeval šestnajst let.
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.
Jotám je zaspal s svojimi očeti in pokopali so ga v Davidovem mestu in namesto njega je zakraljeval njegov sin Aház.
