2 Chronik 27
1 Jotam war fünfundzwanzig Jahre alt, als er König wurde, und regierte sechzehn Jahre in Jerusalem. Seine Mutter hieß Jerusa und war die Tochter des Sadok.
Jotham was twenty-five years old when he became king; and he was ruling in Jerusalem for sixteen years; and his mother's name was Jerushah, the daughter of Zadok.
2 Er tat, was dem Herrn gefiel, ganz wie sein Vater Uzziahu getan. Nur kam er nicht in den Tempel des Herrn. Das Volk aber tat noch immer Böses.
He did what was right in the eyes of the Lord, as his father Uzziah had done; but he did not go into the Temple of the Lord. And the people still went on in their evil ways.
3 Er baute auch das obere Tor am Hause des Herrn; auch an der Ophelmauer baute er viel.
He put up the higher doorway of the house of the Lord, and did much building on the wall of the Ophel.
4 Dazu baute er Städte auf dem Gebirge Juda. Und in den Forsten baute er Burgen und Türme.
In addition, he made towns in the hill-country of Judah, and strong buildings and towers in the woodlands.
5 Auch kämpfte er mit dem König der Ammoniter und besiegte sie. In jenem Jahre gaben ihm die Ammoniter hundert Talente Silber, zehntausend Maß Weizen und zehntausend Maß Gerste. Dies lieferten ihm die Ammoniter im zweiten und dritten Jahr.
He went to war with the king of the children of Ammon and overcame them. That year, the children of Ammon gave him a hundred talents of silver, and ten thousand measures of grain and ten thousand measures of barley. And the children of Ammon gave him the same amount the second year and the third.
6 So ward Jotam stark; denn er machte sein Leben zu einem Wandel vor dem Herrn, seinem Gott.
So Jotham became strong, because in all his ways he made the Lord his guide.
7 Der Rest der Geschichte Jotams, all seine Kriege und Handlungen sind im Buche der Könige Israels und Judas aufgezeichnet.
Now the rest of the acts of Jotham, and all his wars and his ways, are recorded in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah.
8 Er war fünfundzwanzig Jahre alt, als er König wurde, und regierte sechzehn Jahre in Jerusalem.
He was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he was ruling in Jerusalem for sixteen years.
9 Jotam legte sich zu seinen Vätern. Man begrub ihn in der Davidsstadt. Und sein Sohn Achaz ward König an seiner Statt.
And Jotham went to rest with his fathers, and they put his body into the earth in the town of David; and Ahaz his son became king in his place.
