Kronika 2 27
1 Yotam xɔ ƒe blaeve vɔ atɔ̃ esi wòzu fia eye wòɖu fia ƒe wuiade le Yerusalem. Dadae nye Yerusa, Zadok ƒe vinyɔnu.
Jotham was twenty-five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Jerushah the daughter of Zadok.
2 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.
And he did that which was right in the eyes of Jehovah, according to all that his father Uzziah had done. However he did not enter into the temple of Jehovah. And the people still did corruptly.
3 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.
He built the upper gate of the house of Jehovah, and on the wall of Ophel he built much.
4 Etso duwo ɖe Yuda ƒe tonyigba la dzi eye wòtu mɔwo kple xɔ kɔkɔwo ɖe avewo me le toawo dzi.
Moreover he built cities in the hill-country of Judah, and in the forests he built castles and towers.
5 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.
Also he fought with the king of the sons of Ammon, and prevailed against them. And the sons 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 sons of Ammon render to him, in the second year also, and in the third.
6 Fia Yotam kpɔ ŋusẽ ŋutɔ elabena ekpɔ egbɔ be yezɔ nyuie le Yehowa, eƒe Mawu la ƒe mɔ dzi ɣe sia ɣi.
So Jotham became mighty, because he ordered his ways before Jehovah his God.
7 Woŋlɔ Yotam ƒe ŋutinya mamlɛa, eƒe aʋawɔwɔwo kple eƒe wɔna bubuwo ɖe Israel fiawo kple Yuda fiawo ƒe Ŋutinyawo me.
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.
8 Le ŋutinya la nu la, Yotam xɔ ƒe blaeve vɔ atɔ̃ esi wòzu fia eye wòɖu fia le Yerusalem ƒe wuiade.
He was twenty-five years old when he began to reign, and reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem.
9 Esi wòku la, woɖii ɖe David ƒe du la me eye via Ahaz ɖu fia ɖe eteƒe.
And Jotham slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city of David. And Ahaz his son reigned in his stead.
