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 ।
Twenty and five years old was Jotham when he became king, and sixteen years did he reign in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Yerushah, 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 is right in the eyes of the Lord, in accordance with all that his father 'Uzziyahu had done: only he entered not into the temple of the Lord. But the people acted still corruptly.
3 तिनले परमप्रभुका मन्दिरको माथिल्लो ढोकाको र्निर्माण गरे, र ओपेल डाँडामा तिनले धेरै निर्माण गरे ।
He it was that built the upper gate of the house of the Lord, and on the wall of the hill-fort he built much.
4 यसको साथै तिनले यहूदाको पहाडी देशमा सहरहरू बनाए, र वनमा किल्ला र धरहराहरू बनाए ।
Moreover he built cities in the mountain of Judah, and in the forests he built castles and towers.
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 ।
And he likewise fought with the king of the sons of 'Ammon, and prevailed against them. And the children of 'Ammon gave him in that same year one hundred talents of silver, and ten thousand kors of wheat, and ten thousand of barley. So much did the children of 'Ammon pay unto him again, both in the second year, and in the third.
6 यसरी परमप्रभु आफ्ना परमेश्वरको सामुन्ने दृढ भएर हिंडेका हुनाले योताम शक्तिशाली भए ।
So Jotham became strong; because he directed his ways before the Lord his God.
7 योतामको बारेमा अन्य कुराहरू, तिनका सबै युद्ध र तिनका सबै चाल, इस्राएल र यहूदाका राजाहरूको पुस्तकमा लेखिएका छन् ।
And the rest of the acts of Jotham, and all his wars, and his ways, lo, they are 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 ।
Five and twenty years old was he when he became king, and sixteen years did he reign 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 Achaz his son became king in his stead.
