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 began to reign; and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem; and his mother's name was Jerushah, 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 in the sight of Jehovah, according to all that his father Uzziah had done; only he entered not into the temple of Jehovah. And the people still acted corruptly.
3 Izy no nanamboatra ny vavahady ambony amin’ ny tranon’ i Jehovah sady nandrafitra be tamin’ ny mandan’ i Ofela koa.
It was he who built the upper gate of the house of Jehovah, and on the wall of Ophel he built much.
4 Ary nanao tanàna teny amin’ ny tany havoan’ i Joda sy trano fiarovana ary tilikambo tany an’ ala koa izy.
And he built cities in the hill-country of Judah, and in the forests he built castles and towers.
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.
And he fought against the king of the children of Ammon, and overcame them. And the children of Ammon gave him the same year a hundred talents of silver, and ten thousand measures of wheat, and ten thousand of barley. This the children of Ammon brought again to him also in the second year, and in the third.
6 Ary dia nitombo hery Jotama, satria nizotra tsara teo anatrehan’ i Jehovah Andriamaniny izy.
And Jotham became strong, for he prepared his ways before Jehovah 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.
And the rest of the acts of Jotham, and all his wars, and his ways, behold, they are 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 began to reign; and he reigned 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 Ahaz his son reigned in his stead.
