2 Masolo ya Kala 27
1 Yotami azalaki na mibu tuku mibale na mitano ya mbotama tango akomaki mokonzi, mpe akonzaki mibu zomi na motoba na Yelusalemi. Kombo ya mama na ye ezalaki « Yerusha. » Yerusha azalaki mwana ya Tsadoki.
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 Yotami asalaki makambo ya sembo na miso ya Yawe ndenge kaka Oziasi, tata na ye, asalaki; kasi ye, atikalaki kokota te kati na Tempelo ya Yawe. Atako bongo, bato bakobaki kosala makambo mabe.
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 Yotami atongaki ekuke ya likolo ya Tempelo ya Yawe mpe asalaki misala ebele na mir, na ngomba Ofeli.
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 Atongaki mpe bingumba kati na etuka ya bangomba ya Yuda, bandako makasi mpe bandako milayi kati na bazamba.
Moreover he built cities in the mountain of Judah, and in the forests he built castles and towers.
5 Yotami abundisaki mokonzi ya bato ya Amoni mpe alongaki bango. Na mobu wana mpe na mibu mibale oyo elandaki, bato ya Amoni bafutaki ye lokola mpako ya mokonzi bakilo nkoto misato na nkama mitano ya palata, bakilo nkoto minei na nkama mitano ya ble mpe bakilo nkoto minei na nkama mitano ya orje.
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 Yotami akomaki na nguya makasi, pamba te azalaki kotambola na bosembo na miso ya Yawe, Nzambe na ye.
So Jotham became strong; because he directed his ways before the Lord his God.
7 Makambo mosusu oyo etali bokonzi ya Yotami, bitumba mpe misala na ye nyonso, ekomama kati na buku ya masolo ya bakonzi ya Isalaele mpe ya Yuda.
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 Azalaki na mibu tuku mibale na mitano ya mbotama tango akomaki mokonzi, mpe akonzaki mibu zomi na motoba na Yelusalemi.
Five and twenty years old was he when he became king, and sixteen years did he reign in Jerusalem.
9 Yotami akendeki kokutana na bakoko na ye, mpe bakundaki ye kati na engumba ya Davidi. Akazi, mwana na ye ya mobali, akitanaki na ye na bokonzi.
And Jotham slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city of David: and Achaz his son became king in his stead.
