2 Tawarikh 27
1 Yotam menjadi raja pada usia 25 tahun, dan ia memerintah di Yerusalem 16 tahun lamanya. Ibunya ialah Yerusa anak Zadok.
Jotham was twenty-five when he became king, and he reigned in for Jerusalem sixteen years. His mother's name was Jerushah, daughter of Zadok.
2 Yotam menyenangkan hati TUHAN, seperti Uzia ayahnya. Hanya ia tidak membakar dupa di Rumah TUHAN, seperti yang dilakukan ayahnya. Sekalipun demikian, rakyat terus saja berbuat dosa.
He did what was right in the Lord's sight as his father Uzziah had done, and he did not enter the Lord's Temple as his father had. But the people still acted corruptly.
3 Yotamlah yang membangun Pintu Gerbang Utara di Rumah TUHAN, dan memperkuat tembok Yerusalem di daerah yang disebut Ofel.
Jotham rebuilt the Upper Gate of the Lord's Temple, and did extensive building work on the wall at Ophel.
4 Ia mendirikan kota-kota di pegunungan Yehuda dan benteng-benteng serta menara-menara di hutan-hutan.
He built towns in the hill country of Judah, and fortresses and towers in the mountains and forests.
5 Ia memerangi dan mengalahkan raja Amon bersama tentaranya, lalu memaksa orang Amon membayar upeti. Setiap tahun selama tiga tahun berturut-turut mereka harus membayar 3.400 kilogram perak, dua jenis gandum, masing-masing 1.000 ton.
Jotham fought with the king of the Ammonites and defeated them. The Ammonites gave him every year for three years one hundred talents of silver, and ten thousand cors of wheat and ten thousand of barley.
6 Yotam menjadi semakin berkuasa karena ia setia dan taat kepada TUHAN Allahnya.
Jotham grew powerful because he made sure what he did followed the ways of the Lord his God.
7 Peristiwa-peristiwa lain dalam pemerintahan Yotam, peperangan-peperangan dan siasat-siasatnya, semuanya sudah dicatat dalam buku Sejarah Raja-raja Israel dan Yehuda.
The rest of what Jotham did, his wars and other events, were written in the Book of the Kings of Israel and Judah.
8 Yotam berumur 25 tahun ketika ia menjadi raja, dan ia memerintah di Yerusalem selama 16 tahun.
He was twenty-five when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem for sixteen years.
