< 2 Cronicas 27 >
1 Agtawen iti duapulo ket lima ni Jotam idi nangrugi isuna nga agturay; nagturay isuna iti sangapulo ket innem a tawen idiay Jerusalem. Jerusa ti nagan ti inana; a putot ni Zadok.
Twenty and five years old was Jotham when he became king, and sixteen years did he reign in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Yerushah, the daughter of Zadok.
2 Inaramid ni Jotam ti nalinteg iti imatang ni Yahweh, a kas iti amin a banag nga inaramid ti amana a ni Uzzias. Saanna met a pinilit ti simrek iti templo ni Yahweh. Ngem intultuloy latta dagiti tattao dagiti dakes nga aramidda.
And he did what is right in the eyes of the Lord, in accordance with all that his father 'Uzziyahu had done: only he entered not into the temple of the Lord. But the people acted still corruptly.
3 Impatakderna ti akin-ngato a ruangan ti balay ni Yahweh, ken adu ti tinarimaanna iti bakud iti turod ti Ofel.
He it was that built the upper gate of the house of the Lord, and on the wall of the hill-fort he built much.
4 Kasta met a nangibagon pay isuna kadagiti siudad idiay katurturodan a pagilian ti Juda, ken nangipatakder isuna kadagiti sarikedked ken kadagiti torre a pagwanawanan iti kabakiran.
Moreover he built cities in the mountain of Judah, and in the forests he built castles and towers.
5 Nakigubat pay isuna iti ari dagiti tattao ti Ammon ket pinarmekna ida. Iti dayta met laeng a tawen, nangted kenkuana dagiti tattao ti Ammon iti sangagasut a talento a pirak, sangapulo a ribu a rukod a trigo, sangapulo a ribu a rukod a sebada. Kasta met laeng ti inted kenkuana dagiti tattao ti Ammon iti maikadua ken maikatlo a tawen.
And he likewise fought with the king of the sons of 'Ammon, and prevailed against them. And the children of 'Ammon gave him in that same year one hundred talents of silver, and ten thousand kors of wheat, and ten thousand of barley. So much did the children of 'Ammon pay unto him again, both in the second year, and in the third.
6 Nagbalin ngarud a nabileg ni Jotam gapu ta nagtulnog isuna a sipupudno kenni Yahweh a Diosna.
So Jotham became strong; because he directed his ways before the Lord his God.
7 Dagiti dadduma a banbanag maipapan kenni Jotam, dagiti pannakigubatna, ken dagiti aramidna, kitaenyo, naisurat dagitoy iti Ti Libro dagiti Ari ti Israel ken Juda.
And the rest of the acts of Jotham, and all his wars, and his ways, lo, they are written in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah.
8 Duapulo ket lima ti tawenna idi nangrugi a nagturay; nagturay isuna iti sangapulo ket innem a tawen idiay Jerusalem.
Five and twenty years old was he when he became king, and sixteen years did he reign in Jerusalem.
9 Pimmusay ni Jotam, ket intabonda isuna idiay siudad ni David. Ni Ahaz a putotna a lalaki, ti simmukat a kenkuana nga ari.
And Jotham slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city of David: and Achaz his son became king in his stead.
