2 Maũndũ 27
1 Jothamu aarĩ wa mĩaka mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ na ĩtano rĩrĩa aatuĩkire mũthamaki, nake agĩthamaka arĩ Jerusalemu mĩaka ikũmi na ĩtandatũ. Nyina eetagwo Jerusha mwarĩ wa Zadoku.
Jotham was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem sixteen years. His mother’s name was Jerushah daughter of Zadok.
2 Nake agĩĩka maũndũ marĩa maagĩrĩire maitho-inĩ ma Jehova, o ta ũrĩa ithe Uzia eekĩte, nowe ndaigana gũtoonya hekarũ ya Jehova gũcina ũbumba ta ũrĩa ithe eekĩte. No rĩrĩ, andũ nĩmathiire o na mbere gwĩka maũndũ mao mooru.
And he did what was right in the eyes of the LORD, just as his father Uzziah had done. In addition, he did not enter the temple of the LORD. But the people still behaved corruptly.
3 Jothamu nĩaakire rĩngĩ mwako wa Kĩhingo kĩa Rũgongo kĩa hekarũ ya Jehova, na akĩruta wĩra mũnene wa rũthingo rũrĩa rwarĩ kĩrĩma-inĩ kĩa Ofeli.
Jotham rebuilt the Upper Gate of the house of the LORD, and he worked extensively on the wall at the hill of Ophel.
4 Nĩaakire matũũra irĩma-inĩ cia Juda na agĩaka nyũmba cia ũgitĩri na mĩthiringo mĩraihu na igũrũ kũndũ kũrĩa kwarĩ na mũtitũ.
He also built cities in the hill country of Judah and fortresses and towers in the forests.
5 Jothamu nĩarũire mbaara na mũthamaki wa Amoni na akĩmahoota. Mwaka-inĩ ũcio, Aamoni nĩmamũrĩhire taranda igana rĩmwe cia betha, na kori 10,000 cia ngano, na kori 10,000 cia cairi. Andũ a Amoni nĩmamũreheire indo o ta icio mwaka-inĩ wa keerĩ na wa gatatũ.
Jotham waged war against the king of the Ammonites and defeated them, and that year they gave him a hundred talents of silver, ten thousand cors of wheat, and ten thousand cors of barley. They paid him the same in the second and third years.
6 Jothamu nĩagĩire na hinya nĩ ũndũ nĩathiiaga na mĩthiĩre mĩrũngĩrĩru hĩndĩ ciothe mbere ya Jehova Ngai wake.
So Jotham grew powerful because he ordered his ways before the LORD his God.
7 Namo maũndũ marĩa mangĩ makoniĩ wathani wa Jothamu, o hamwe na mbaara ciake ciothe na ciĩko iria ingĩ eekire-rĩ, nĩmandĩkĩtwo ibuku-inĩ rĩa athamaki a Isiraeli na Juda.
As for the rest of the acts of Jotham, along with all his wars and his ways, they are indeed written in the Book of the Kings of Israel and Judah.
8 Nake aarĩ wa mĩaka mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ na ĩtano rĩrĩa aatuĩkire mũthamaki, na agĩthamaka arĩ Jerusalemu mĩaka ikũmi na ĩtandatũ.
He was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem sixteen years.
9 Jothamu akĩhurũka hamwe na maithe make na agĩthikwo Itũũra-inĩ Inene rĩa Daudi. Nake mũriũ Ahazu agĩtuĩka mũthamaki ithenya rĩake.
And Jotham rested with his fathers and was buried in the City of David. And his son Ahaz reigned in his place.
