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-five years old, was Jotham when he began to reign, and, sixteen years, reigned he in Jerusalem, —and, the name of his mother, was Jerushah, 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 that which was right in the eyes of Yahweh, according to all that Uzziah his father had done, only he entered not into the temple of Yahweh, —though still were the people acting corruptly.
3 तिनले परमप्रभुका मन्दिरको माथिल्लो ढोकाको र्निर्माण गरे, र ओपेल डाँडामा तिनले धेरै निर्माण गरे ।
He, built the upper gate of the house of Yahweh, -and, on the wall of Ophel, built he extensively.
4 यसको साथै तिनले यहूदाको पहाडी देशमा सहरहरू बनाए, र वनमा किल्ला र धरहराहरू बनाए ।
Cities also, built he, in the hill country of Judah, —and, in the thick woods, built he fortresses 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 ।
He, also made war against the king of the sons of Ammon, and prevailed against them, and the sons of Ammon gave him, during that year, a hundred talents of silver, and ten thousand measures of wheat, and, of barley, ten thousand, —this, did the sons of Ammon render him, both in the second year, and the third.
6 यसरी परमप्रभु आफ्ना परमेश्वरको सामुन्ने दृढ भएर हिंडेका हुनाले योताम शक्तिशाली भए ।
So Jotham strengthened himself, —for he fixed his ways before Yahweh his God.
7 योतामको बारेमा अन्य कुराहरू, तिनका सबै युद्ध र तिनका सबै चाल, इस्राएल र यहूदाका राजाहरूको पुस्तकमा लेखिएका छन् ।
But, the rest of the story of Jotham, and all his wars, and his ways, lo! there 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 ।
Twenty-five years old, was he when he began to reign, —and, sixteen years, reigned he 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 Ahaz his son reigned in his stead.
