And he does that which is right in the eyes of YHWH, according to all that his father Uzziah did; only, he has not come into the temple of YHWH; and again the people are doing corruptly.
3 Jotam wugharịrị Ọnụ Ụzọ Ama nke dị Elu nke ụlọnsọ ukwu Onyenwe anyị, rụọkwa ọtụtụ ọrụ nʼelu mgbidi nke ugwu Ofel.
He has built the Upper Gate of the house of YHWH, and in the wall of Ophel he has built abundantly;
4 O wuru ọtụtụ obodo nʼala ugwu ugwu Juda, wuokwa ọtụtụ ebe e wusiri ike na ụlọ elu nche nʼoke ọhịa.
and he has built cities in the hill-country of Judah, and he has built palaces 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.
And he has fought with the king of the sons of Ammon, and prevails over them, and the sons of Ammon give to him in that year one hundred talents of silver, and ten thousand cors of wheat, and ten thousand of barley; the sons of Ammon have returned this to him both in the second year and in the third.
6 Jotam ghọrọ eze dị ike nʼihi na ọ kpachara anya debe iwu Onyenwe anyị Chineke ya.
And Jotham strengthens himself, for he has prepared his ways before his God YHWH.
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 matters of Jotham, and all his battles, and his ways, behold, they are written on the scroll 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 a son of twenty-five years in his reigning, and he has reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem;
9 Jotam sooro ndị nna nna ya dina nʼọnwụ, e lie ya nʼobodo Devid. Ehaz nwa ya nwoke ghọrọ eze nʼọnọdụ ya.
and Jotham lies with his fathers, and they bury him in the City of David, and his son Ahaz reigns in his stead.
