Otra Laiku 27
1 Jotams bija divdesmit piecus gadus vecs, kad palika par ķēniņu, un valdīja Jeruzālemē sešpadsmit gadus, un viņa mātei bija vārds Jeruza, Cadaka meita.
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 Un viņš darīja, kas Tam Kungam labi patika, tā kā viņa tēvs Uzija bija darījis, bez vien ka tas Tā Kunga svētā namā neiegāja. Bet tie ļaudis vēl noziedzās.
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 Šis uztaisīja Tā Kunga namā augšvārtus, arī pie Ofel mūra viņš daudz būvēja.
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 Viņš uztaisīja arīdzan pilsētas Jūda kalnos, un mežos viņš taisīja pilis un torņus.
They built towns in the hills of Judah, and they built forts and defense towers in the forests.
5 Viņš arī karoja ar Amona bērnu ķēniņu un tos pārvarēja, un Amona bērniem tai gadā tam bija jādod simts talentu sudraba un desmit tūkstoš koru kviešu un desmit tūkstoš koru miežu; to viņam Amona bērni atnesa arī otrā un trešā gadā.
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 Tā Jotams palika spēcīgs, jo viņš staigāja taisni Tā Kunga, sava Dieva, priekšā.
Jotham faithfully obeyed Yahweh his God, and as a result he became a very powerful king.
7 Un kas vēl par Jotamu stāstāms, un viņa kari un viņa ceļi, redzi, tie rakstīti Israēla un Jūda ķēniņu grāmatā.
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 Viņš bija divdesmit piecus gadus vecs, kad palika par ķēniņu, un valdīja Jeruzālemē sešpadsmit gadus.
After Jotham had ruled Judah for 16 years, he died when he was 41 years old.
9 Un Jotams aizmiga pie saviem tēviem, un viņu apraka Dāvida pilī, un Ahazs, viņa dēls, palika par ķēniņu viņa vietā.
He was buried in Jerusalem, and his son Ahaz became the king [of Judah].
