< II Oihanaalii 27 >
1 HE iwakaluakumamalima makahiki ko Iotama i kona wa i alii ai, a noho alii iho la ia i na makahiki he umikumamaono ma Ierusalema; a o ka inoa o kona makuwahine, o Ierusa, ke kaikamahine a Zadoka.
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, daughter of Zadok.
2 A hana pololei ia i na maka o Iehova e like me ka hana a pau a Uzia, a kona makua i hana'i: aka hoi, aole ia i komo i ka hale o Iehova. A hana hewa no nae na kanaka.
And he did what was right in the sight of Jehovah, according to all that his father Uzziah had done; only he entered not into the temple of Jehovah. And the people still acted corruptly.
3 Ua kukulu ia i ka ipuka o ka hale o Iehova a kiekie, a maluna o ka pa o Opela, kukulu nui iho la ia.
It was he who built the upper gate of the house of Jehovah, and on the wall of Ophel he built much.
4 Ua kukulu ia i na kulanakauhale ma na mauna o Iuda, a ma ka waonahele kukulu ia i na pakaua, a me na halekiai.
And he built cities in the hill-country of Judah, and in the forests he built castles and towers.
5 Ua kaua no hoi ia i ke alii o ka Amona, a lanakila maluna o lakou: a ua haawi mai ka poe mamo a Amona, i kela makahiki, i hookahi haneri talena kala, a me na pahu palaoa he umi tausani, a me na pahu bale he umi tausani. Pela i haawi mai ai ka poe mamo a Amona i ka makahiki elua, a me ke kolu.
And he fought against the king of the children of Ammon, and overcame them. And the children of Ammon gave him the same year a hundred talents of silver, and ten thousand measures of wheat, and ten thousand of barley. This the children of Ammon brought again to him also in the second year, and in the third.
6 A lilo iho la o Iotama i mea ikaika, no ka mea, ua hoomakaukau oia i kona aoao imua o Iehova kona Akua.
And Jotham became strong, for he prepared his ways before Jehovah his God.
7 A o ke koena o na hana a Iotama, a me kona kaua ana a pau, a me kona aoao, ua kakauia ma ka palapala no na'lii o Iseraela a me Iuda.
And 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 He iwakaluakumamalima makahiki ona i kona wa i alii ai, a noho alii iho la ia i na makahiki he umikumamaono ma Ierusalema.
He was twenty-five years old when he began to reign; and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem.
9 A hiamoe iho la o Iotama, me kona poe kupuna, a kanu lakou ia ia iloko o ke kulanakauhale o Davida; a noho alii iho la o Ahaza, kana keiki ma kona hakahaka.
And Jotham slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city of David; and Ahaz his son reigned in his stead.
