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 began to reign, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Jerushah 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 ।
He did that which was right in Yahweh’s eyes, according to all that his father Uzziah had done. However he didn’t enter into Yahweh’s temple. The people still acted corruptly.
3 तिनले परमप्रभुका मन्दिरको माथिल्लो ढोकाको र्निर्माण गरे, र ओपेल डाँडामा तिनले धेरै निर्माण गरे ।
He built the upper gate of Yahweh’s house, and he built much on the wall of Ophel.
4 यसको साथै तिनले यहूदाको पहाडी देशमा सहरहरू बनाए, र वनमा किल्ला र धरहराहरू बनाए ।
Moreover he built cities in the hill country of Judah, and in the forests he built 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 fought with the king of the children of Ammon, and prevailed against them. The children of Ammon gave him the same year one hundred talents of silver, ten thousand cors of wheat, and ten thousand cors of barley. The children of Ammon also gave that much to him in the second year, and in the third.
6 यसरी परमप्रभु आफ्ना परमेश्वरको सामुन्ने दृढ भएर हिंडेका हुनाले योताम शक्तिशाली भए ।
So Jotham became mighty, because he ordered 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 ।
Now the rest of the acts of Jotham, and all his wars and his ways, behold, 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 ।
He was twenty-five years old when he began to reign, and reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem.
9 योताम आफ्ना पुर्खाहरूसित सुते, र तिनीहरूले उनलाई दाऊदको सहरमा गाडे । तिनीपछि तिनका छोरा आहाज तिनको ठाउँमा राजा भए ।
Jotham slept with his fathers, and they buried him in David’s city; and Ahaz his son reigned in his place.
