2 Whakapapa 27
1 E rua tekau ma rima nga tau o Iotama i tona kingitanga, a kotahi tekau ma ono nga tau i kingi ai ia ki Hiruharama; a ko te ingoa hoki o tona whaea ko Ieruha, he tamahine na Haroko.
Joatham was five and twenty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem: the name of his mother was Jerusa the daughter of Sadoc.
2 A he tika tana mahi ki ta Ihowa titiro, i rite ki nga mea katoa i mea ai a Utia, tona papa. Otiia kihai ia i tomo ki te temepara o Ihowa. I mahi tonu te iwi i te he.
And he did that which was right before the Lord, according to all that Ozias his father had done, only that he entered not into the temple of the Lord, and the people still transgressed.
3 Nana i hanga te kuwaha o runga o te whare o Ihowa, a he nui te wahi i hanga e ia ki runga ki te taiepa i Opere.
He built the high gate of the house of the Lord, and on the wall of Ophel he built much.
4 I hanga ano e ia etahi pa ki nga maunga o Hura; hanga ana ano e ia etahi taumaihi, etahi pourewa ki nga ngahere.
Moreover he built cities in the mountains of Juda, and castles and towers in the forests.
5 I whawhai ano ia ki te kingi o nga tama a Amona, a taea ana ratou e ia. A homai ana e nga tama a Amona ki a ia i taua tau kotahi rau taranata hiriwa, tekau mano mehua witi, he parei hoki tekau nga mano. Ko nga utu enei i homai e nga tama a Amona ki a ia, i te rua ano o nga tau, a i te toru ano hoki.
Ho fought against the king of the children of Ammon, and overcame them, and the children of Ammon gave him at that time a hundred talents of silver, and ten thousand measures of wheat, and as many measures of barley: so much did the children of Ammon give him in the second and third year.
6 Heoi ka kaha haere a Iotama, no te mea i whakatikaia e ia ona huarahi i te aroaro o Ihowa, o tona Atua.
And Joatham was strengthened, because he had his way directed before the Lord his God.
7 Na, ko era atu meatanga a Iotama, me ana whawhai katoa, me ona huarahi, nana, kua oti te tuhituhi ki te pukapuka o nga kingi o Iharaira raua ko Hura.
Now the rest of the acts of Joatham, and all his wars, and his works, are written in the book of the kings of Israel and Juda.
8 E rua tekau ma rima ona tau i tona kingitanga, a tekau ma ono nga tau i kingi ai ia ki Hiruharama.
He was five and twenty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem.
9 Na kua moe a Iotama ki ona matua, a tanumia iho ki te pa o Rawiri, a ko tana tama, ko Ahata, te kingi i muri i a ia.
And Joatham slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city of David: and Achaz his son reigned in his stead.
