2 Chronik 27
1 Jotham war fünfundzwanzig Jahre alt, da er König ward, und regierte sechzehn Jahre zu Jerusalem. Seine Mutter hieß Jerusa, eine Tochter Zadoks.
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 Und er tat, was dem HERRN wohl gefiel, ganz wie sein Vater Usia getan hatte, nur ging er nicht in den Tempel des HERRN; das Volk aber verderbte sich noch immer.
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 das obere Tor am Hause des HERRN, und an der Mauer des Ophel 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 und baute die Städte auf dem Gebirge Juda, und in den Wäldern 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 Und er stritt mit dem König der Kinder Ammon, und ward ihrer mächtig, daß ihm die Kinder Ammon dasselbe Jahr gaben hundert Zentner Silber, zehntausend Kor Weizen und zehntausend Kor Gerste. So viel gaben ihm die Kinder Ammon auch im zweiten und im 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 Also ward Jotham mächtig; denn er richtete seine Wege vor dem HERRN, seinem Gott.
So Jotham became strong, because in all his ways he made the Lord his guide.
7 Was aber mehr von Jotham zu sagen ist und alle seine Streite und seine Wege, siehe, das ist geschrieben im Buch der Könige Israels und Juda's.
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 Fünfundzwanzig Jahre alt war er, da er König ward, und regierte sechzehn Jahre zu Jerusalem.
He was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he was ruling in Jerusalem for sixteen years.
9 Und Jotham entschlief mit seinen Vätern, und sie begruben ihn in der Stadt Davids. Und sein Sohn Ahas 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.
