< 2 Tawarikh 27 >
1 Yotam berumur dua puluh lima tahun pada waktu ia menjadi raja dan enam belas tahun lamanya ia memerintah di Yerusalem. Nama ibunya ialah Yerusa, anak Zadok.
Jotham [is] a son of twenty-five years in his reigning, and he has reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem, and the name of his mother [is] Jerushah daughter of Zadok.
2 Ia melakukan apa yang benar di mata TUHAN, tepat seperti yang dilakukan Uzia, ayahnya, hanya ia tidak memasuki Bait TUHAN. Tetapi rakyat masih saja melakukan hal yang merusak.
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 Ia mendirikan Pintu Gerbang Tinggi di rumah TUHAN dan mengadakan banyak pembangunan pada tembok Ofel.
He has built the Upper Gate of the house of YHWH, and in the wall of Ophel he has built abundantly;
4 Ia mendirikan juga kota-kota di pegunungan Yehuda dan benteng-benteng serta menara-menara di hutan-hutan.
and he has built cities in the hill-country of Judah, and he has built palaces and towers in the forests.
5 Ia berperang melawan raja bani Amon dan mengalahkannya, sehingga pada tahun itu juga bani Amon membayar kepadanya seratus talenta perak, sepuluh ribu kor gandum dan sepuluh ribu kor jelai. Juga pada tahun kedua dan ketiga bani Amon membawa upeti itu kepadanya.
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 Yotam menjadi kuat, karena ia mengarahkan hidupnya kepada TUHAN, Allahnya.
And Jotham strengthens himself, for he has prepared his ways before his God YHWH.
7 Selebihnya dari riwayat Yotam, segala peperangan dan tingkah langkahnya, sesungguhnya semuanya itu tertulis dalam kitab raja-raja Israel dan Yehuda.
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 Ia berumur dua puluh lima tahun pada waktu ia menjadi raja dan enam belas tahun lamanya ia memerintah di Yerusalem.
He was a son of twenty-five years in his reigning, and he has reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem;
9 Kemudian Yotam mendapat perhentian bersama-sama nenek moyangnya, dan ia dikuburkan di kota Daud. Maka Ahas, anaknya, menjadi raja menggantikan dia.
and Jotham lies with his fathers, and they bury him in the City of David, and his son Ahaz reigns in his stead.
