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 25 years old when he became the king of Judah. He ruled from Jerusalem for 16 years. His mother was Jerushah, the daughter of [the priest] 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.
Jotham did many things that pleased Yahweh like his father Uzziah did. He obeyed Yahweh and did things that are right. He did many things that his father Uzziah had done, but he did not burn incense in the temple, like his father had done. However, the people of Judah continued to sin against Yahweh.
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.
Jotham’s [workers] rebuilt the Upper Gate of the temple, and they did a lot of work to repair the wall near Ophel [Hill].
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.
They built towns in the hills of Judah, and they built forts and defense towers in the forests.
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.
During the time that Jotham was the king of Judah, his army attacked and defeated the army of the Ammon people-group. Then, every year during the next three years, he required the Anmon people-group to pay to him four tons of silver, 60,000 bushels of wheat, and 60,000 bushels of barley.
6 A lilo iho la o Iotama i mea ikaika, no ka mea, ua hoomakaukau oia i kona aoao imua o Iehova kona Akua.
Jotham faithfully obeyed Yahweh his God, and as a result he became a very powerful king.
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.
A record of everything else that Jotham did during the time that he was the king, including the wars that his army fought, is written in the scroll called ‘[the History 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.
After Jotham had ruled Judah for 16 years, he died when he was 41 years old.
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.
He was buried in Jerusalem, and his son Ahaz became the king [of Judah].
