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.
Joatham [was] twenty and five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem: and his mother's name [was] Jerusa, daughter of Sadoc.

And he did that which was right in the sight of the Lord, according to all that his father Ozias did: but he went not into the temple of the Lord. And still the people corrupted themselves.
3 Jotam wugharịrị Ọnụ Ụzọ Ama nke dị Elu nke ụlọnsọ ukwu Onyenwe anyị, rụọkwa ọtụtụ ọrụ nʼelu mgbidi nke ugwu Ofel.
He built the high gate of the house of the Lord, and he built much in the wall of Opel.
4 O wuru ọtụtụ obodo nʼala ugwu ugwu Juda, wuokwa ọtụtụ ebe e wusiri ike na ụlọ elu nche nʼoke ọhịa.
In the mountain of Juda, and in the woods, [he built] both dwelling-places and towers.

He fought against the king of the children of Ammon, and prevailed against him: and the children of Ammon gave him even annually a hundred talents of silver, and ten thousand measures of wheat, and ten thousand of barley. These the king of the children of Ammon brought to him annually in the first and second and third years.
6 Jotam ghọrọ eze dị ike nʼihi na ọ kpachara anya debe iwu Onyenwe anyị Chineke ya.
Joatham grew strong, because he prepared 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.
And the rest of the acts of Joatham, and his war, and his deeds, behold, [they are] written in the book of the kings of Juda and Israel.
8 Ọ gbara iri afọ abụọ na ise mgbe e mere ya eze. Ọ chịrị afọ iri na isii na Jerusalem.
9 Jotam sooro ndị nna nna ya dina nʼọnwụ, e lie ya nʼobodo Devid. Ehaz nwa ya nwoke ghọrọ eze nʼọnọdụ ya.
And Joatham slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David: and Achaz his son reigned in his stead.
