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.
Jotham was 25 years old when he became the king of Judah. He ruled from Jerusalem for 16 years. His mother was Jerushah, the daughter of [the priest] 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.
Jotham did many things that pleased Yahweh like his father Uzziah did. He obeyed Yahweh and did things that are right. He did many things that his father Uzziah had done, but he did not burn incense in the temple, like his father had done. However, the people of Judah continued to sin against Yahweh.
3 Impatakderna ti akin-ngato a ruangan ti balay ni Yahweh, ken adu ti tinarimaanna iti bakud iti turod ti Ofel.
Jotham’s [workers] rebuilt the Upper Gate of the temple, and they did a lot of work to repair the wall near Ophel [Hill].
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.
They built towns in the hills of Judah, and they built forts and defense towers in the forests.
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.
During the time that Jotham was the king of Judah, his army attacked and defeated the army of the Ammon people-group. Then, every year during the next three years, he required the Anmon people-group to pay to him four tons of silver, 60,000 bushels of wheat, and 60,000 bushels of barley.
6 Nagbalin ngarud a nabileg ni Jotam gapu ta nagtulnog isuna a sipupudno kenni Yahweh a Diosna.
Jotham faithfully obeyed Yahweh his God, and as a result he became a very powerful king.
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.
A record of everything else that Jotham did during the time that he was the king, including the wars that his army fought, is written in the scroll called ‘[the History 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.
After Jotham had ruled Judah for 16 years, he died when he was 41 years old.
9 Pimmusay ni Jotam, ket intabonda isuna idiay siudad ni David. Ni Ahaz a putotna a lalaki, ti simmukat a kenkuana nga ari.
He was buried in Jerusalem, and his son Ahaz became the king [of Judah].
