2 Tantara 27
1 Dimy amby roa-polo taona Jotama, fony izy vao nanjaka, ary enina ambin’ ny folo taona no nanjakany tany Jerosalema. Ary ny anaran-dreniny dia Jerosa, zanakavavin’ i Zadoka.
Jotham was twenty-five years old when he had begun to reign, and he reigned for sixteen years in Jerusalem. The name of his mother was Jerusha, the daughter of Zadok.
2 Ary nanao izay mahitsy eo imason’ i Jehovah izy, tahaka izay nataon’ i Ozia rainy; nefa kosa tsy mba niditra tao amin’ ny tempolin’ i Jehovah izy. Ary ny vahoaka rehetra mbola nanao ratsy ihany.
And he did what was right before the Lord, in accord with all that his father, Uzziah, had done, except that he did not enter into the temple of the Lord, and still the people were transgressing.
3 Izy no nanamboatra ny vavahady ambony amin’ ny tranon’ i Jehovah sady nandrafitra be tamin’ ny mandan’ i Ofela koa.
He improved the high gate of the house of the Lord. And he built many things upon the wall of Ophel.
4 Ary nanao tanàna teny amin’ ny tany havoan’ i Joda sy trano fiarovana ary tilikambo tany an’ ala koa izy.
Also, he built cities in the mountains of Judah, and fortresses and towers in the forests.
5 Ary niady tamin’ ny mpanjakan’ ny taranak’ i Amona koa izy ka naharesy azy. Ary tamin’ izany taona izany ny taranak’ i Amona nanome azy talenta volafotsy zato ary vary tritika sy vary hordea iray alina kora avy; izany no naloan’ ny taranak’ i Amona ho azy tamin’ ny-taona faharoa sy fahatelo koa.
He fought against the king of the sons of Ammon, and he defeated them. And at that time, the sons of Ammon gave to him one hundred talents of silver, and ten thousand cor of wheat, and the same number of cor of barley. These things the sons of Ammon offered to him in the second and third year.
6 Ary dia nitombo hery Jotama, satria nizotra tsara teo anatrehan’ i Jehovah Andriamaniny izy.
And Jotham was strengthened, because he had directed his way before the Lord his God.
7 Ary ny tantaran’ i Jotama sisa mbamin’ ny adiny rehetra sy ny fanaony, indro, efa voasoratra ao amin’ ny bokin’ ny mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely sy ny Joda izany.
Now the rest of the words of Jotham, and all his battles and works, have been written in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah.
8 Dimy amby roa-polo taona izy, fony vao nanjaka, ary enina ambin’ ny folo taona no nanjakany tany Jerosalema.
He was twenty-five years old when he had begun to reign, and he reigned for sixteen years in Jerusalem.
9 Ary Jotama lasa nodi-mandry any amin’ ny razany, dia nalevina tany an-Tanànan’ i Davida izy; ary Ahaza zanany no nanjaka nandimby azy.
And Jotham slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the City of David. And his son, Ahaz, reigned in his place.
