2 Ihe E Mere 27
1 Jotam gbara iri afọ abụọ na ise mgbe e mere ya eze. Ọ chịrị afọ iri na isii na Jerusalem. Nne ya bụ Jerusha nwa Zadọk.
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 O mere ihe ziri ezi nʼanya Onyenwe anyị dịka nna ya Ụzaya mere, ma o meghị dịka nna ya, ọ banyeghị nʼime ụlọnsọ Onyenwe anyị. Ma ndị mmadụ gara nʼihu na-eme omume ha rụrụ arụ.
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 Jotam wugharịrị Ọnụ Ụzọ Ama nke dị Elu nke ụlọnsọ ukwu Onyenwe anyị, rụọkwa ọtụtụ ọrụ nʼelu mgbidi nke ugwu Ofel.
Jotham rebuilt the Upper Gate of the house of the LORD, and he worked extensively on the wall at the hill of Ophel.
4 O wuru ọtụtụ obodo nʼala ugwu ugwu Juda, wuokwa ọtụtụ ebe e wusiri ike na ụlọ elu nche nʼoke ọhịa.
He also built cities in the hill country of Judah and fortresses and towers in the forests.
5 Jotam busoro eze ndị Amọn agha, meriekwa ha. Nʼafọ ahụ, ndị Amọn bunyere ya narị talenti ọlaọcha, na bushel ọka iri puku na puku abụọ, na bushel ọka balị iri puku na puku abụọ.
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 Jotam ghọrọ eze dị ike nʼihi na ọ kpachara anya debe iwu Onyenwe anyị Chineke ya.
So Jotham grew powerful because he ordered his ways before the LORD his God.
7 Ihe ndị ọzọ niile nʼoge ọchịchị Jotam, tinyere ihe gbasara agha niile ọ lụrụ, na ihe ndị ọzọ niile nke o mere, e deturu ha nʼakwụkwọ akụkọ ndị eze Izrel 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 Ọ gbara iri afọ abụọ na ise mgbe e mere ya eze. Ọ chịrị afọ iri na isii na Jerusalem.
He was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem sixteen years.
9 Jotam sooro ndị nna nna ya dina nʼọnwụ, e lie ya nʼobodo Devid. Ehaz nwa ya nwoke ghọrọ eze nʼọnọdụ ya.
And Jotham rested with his fathers and was buried in the City of David. And his son Ahaz reigned in his place.
