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.
twenty-five years old, was Jotham when he began to reign, and, sixteen years, reigned he in Jerusalem, —and, the name of his mother, 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 that which was right in the eyes of Yahweh, according to all that Uzziah his father had done, only he entered not into the temple of Yahweh, —though still were the people acting 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.
He, built the upper gate of the house of Yahweh, -and, on the wall of Ophel, built he extensively.
4 Nĩaakire matũũra irĩma-inĩ cia Juda na agĩaka nyũmba cia ũgitĩri na mĩthiringo mĩraihu na igũrũ kũndũ kũrĩa kwarĩ na mũtitũ.
Cities also, built he, in the hill country of Judah, —and, in the thick woods, built he fortresses and towers.
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.
He, also made war against the king of the sons of Ammon, and prevailed against them, and the sons of Ammon gave him, during that year, a hundred talents of silver, and ten thousand measures of wheat, and, of barley, ten thousand, —this, did the sons of Ammon render him, both in the second year, and the third.
6 Jothamu nĩagĩire na hinya nĩ ũndũ nĩathiiaga na mĩthiĩre mĩrũngĩrĩru hĩndĩ ciothe mbere ya Jehova Ngai wake.
So Jotham strengthened himself, —for he fixed his ways before Yahweh 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.
But, the rest of the story of Jotham, and all his wars, and his ways, lo! there they are 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.
Twenty-five years old, was he when he began to reign, —and, sixteen years, reigned he in Jerusalem.
9 Jothamu akĩhurũka hamwe na maithe make na agĩthikwo Itũũra-inĩ Inene rĩa Daudi. Nake mũriũ Ahazu agĩtuĩka mũthamaki ithenya rĩake.
And Jotham slept with his fathers, and they buried him, in the city of David, —and Ahaz his son reigned in his stead.
