Yotam yana da shekara ashirin da biyar sa’ad da ya zama sarki, ya kuma yi mulki a Urushalima shekara goma sha shida. Sunan mahaifiyarsa Yerusha,’yar Zadok.
2 Wasesenza okuqondileyo emehlweni eNkosi njengokwenza konke kukaUziya uyise; kodwa kangenanga ethempelini leNkosi; labantu babelokhu besenza ngokonakala.
Ya yi abin da yake daidai a gaban Ubangiji, kamar yadda mahaifinsa Uzziya ya yi, sai dai bai kutsa cikin haikalin Ubangiji kamar mahaifinsa ba. Mutane kuwa, suka ci gaba da aikata ayyukan lalaci.
3 Yena wakha isango eliphezulu lendlu yeNkosi, wakha okunengi emdulini weOfeli.
Yotam ya sāke ginin Ƙofar Bisa na haikalin Ubangiji, ya kuma yi aiki sosai a katanga a tudun Ofel.

Ya gina garuruwa a tuddan Yahuda, ya giggina katanga da gine-gine masu tsawo a wuraren da suke a kurmi.
5 Yena wesesilwa lenkosi yabantwana bakoAmoni, wabanqoba; abantwana bakoAmoni basebemnika ngalowomnyaka amathalenta esiliva alikhulu, lamakhori engqoloyi azinkulungwane ezilitshumi, lezinkulungwane ezilitshumi zebhali. Lokhu abantwana bakoAmoni bakubuyisela kuye, langomnyaka wesibili langowesithathu.

6 Ngokunjalo uJothamu waziqinisa, ngoba walungisa izindlela zakhe phambi kweNkosi uNkulunkulu wakhe.
Yotam ya ƙaru a iko saboda ya daidaita al’amuransa a gaban Ubangiji Allahnsa.
7 Ezinye-ke zezindaba zikaJothamu, lazo zonke izimpi zakhe, lezindlela zakhe, khangela, zibhaliwe egwalweni lwamakhosi akoIsrayeli lawakoJuda.

8 Wayeleminyaka engamatshumi amabili lanhlanu esiba yinkosi, wabusa iminyaka elitshumi lesithupha eJerusalema.
Yana da shekara ashirin da biyar sa’ad da ya zama sarki, ya kuma yi mulki a Urushalima shekara goma sha shida.
9 UJothamu waselala laboyise, basebemngcwabela emzini kaDavida; uAhazi indodana yakhe wasesiba yinkosi esikhundleni sakhe.
