२ इतिहास 27
1 योताम राजगद्दी आरोहण गर्दा पच्चिस वर्षका थिए; तिनले यरूशलेममा सोह्र वर्ष राज्य गरे । तिनकी आमाको यरूशा थियो; तिनी नाउँ सादोककी छोरी थिइन् ।
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 हरेक कुरामा आफ्ना पिता उज्जियाहको उदाहरणको अनुसरण गरेर तिनले परमप्रभुको दृष्टिमा जे असल थियो सो गरे । परमप्रभुको मन्दिरभित्र प्रवेश गर्नबाट तिनी अलग बसे । तर मानिसहरू भने अझै पनि आफ्ना दुष्ट चालमा लागिरहेका थिए ।
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 तिनले परमप्रभुका मन्दिरको माथिल्लो ढोकाको र्निर्माण गरे, र ओपेल डाँडामा तिनले धेरै निर्माण गरे ।
He improved the high gate of the house of the Lord. And he built many things upon the wall of Ophel.
4 यसको साथै तिनले यहूदाको पहाडी देशमा सहरहरू बनाए, र वनमा किल्ला र धरहराहरू बनाए ।
Also, he built cities in the mountains of Judah, and fortresses and towers in the forests.
5 अम्मोनका मानिसहरूका राजासँग पनि तिनले युद्ध गरे र उनलाई परास्त गरे । त्यसै वर्ष अम्मोनका मानिसहरूले तिनलाई साढे तिन टन चाँदी, पच्चिस हजार मुरी गहूँ र पच्चिस हजार मुरी जौ दिए । अम्मोनका मानिसहरूले दोस्रो र तेस्रो वर्षमा पनि त्यसरी नै तिनलाई दिए ।
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 यसरी परमप्रभु आफ्ना परमेश्वरको सामुन्ने दृढ भएर हिंडेका हुनाले योताम शक्तिशाली भए ।
And Jotham was strengthened, because he had directed his way before the Lord his God.
7 योतामको बारेमा अन्य कुराहरू, तिनका सबै युद्ध र तिनका सबै चाल, इस्राएल र यहूदाका राजाहरूको पुस्तकमा लेखिएका छन् ।
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 तिनी राज्य गर्न सुरु गर्दा तिनी पच्चिस वर्षका थिए । तिनले यरूशलेममा सोह्र वर्ष राज्य गरे ।
He was twenty-five years old when he had begun to reign, and he reigned for sixteen years in Jerusalem.
9 योताम आफ्ना पुर्खाहरूसित सुते, र तिनीहरूले उनलाई दाऊदको सहरमा गाडे । तिनीपछि तिनका छोरा आहाज तिनको ठाउँमा राजा भए ।
And Jotham slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the City of David. And his son, Ahaz, reigned in his place.
