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; he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Jerushah; she was the 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.
He did what was right in the eyes of Yahweh, following the example of his father, Uzziah, in everything. He also refrained from going into the temple of Yahweh. But the people were still behaving in evil ways.
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.
He built the upper gate of the house of Yahweh, and on the hill 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.
Moreover 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.
He fought also with the king of the people of Ammon and defeated them. In that same year, the people of Ammon gave him one hundred talents of silver, ten thousand measures of wheat, ten thousand measures of barley. The people of Ammon gave him the same in the second and third years.
6 A lilo iho la o Iotama i mea ikaika, no ka mea, ua hoomakaukau oia i kona aoao imua o Iehova kona Akua.
So Jotham became powerful because he walked firmly before Yahweh 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.
As for the other matters concerning Jotham, all his wars, and his ways, see, 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; he reigned for 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.
Jotham slept with his ancestors, and they buried him in the city of David. Ahaz, his son, became king in his place.
