2 Krønikebok 27
1 Jotam var fem og tyve år da han blev konge, og regjerte seksten år i Jerusalem; hans mor hette Jerusa og var datter av Sadok.
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 Han gjorde hvad rett var i Herrens øine, aldeles som hans far Ussias hadde gjort; men han gikk ikke inn i Herrens helligdom. Men folket vedblev med å gjøre hvad ondt var.
He did that which was right in the LORD’s eyes, according to all that his father Uzziah had done. However he didn’t enter into the LORD’s temple. The people still acted corruptly.
3 Han bygget den øvre port til Herrens hus, og på Ofel-muren bygget han meget.
He built the upper gate of the LORD’s house, and he built much on the wall of Ophel.
4 Han bygget også byer i Judafjellene, og i skogene bygget han borger og tårn.
Moreover he built cities in the hill country of Judah, and in the forests he built fortresses and towers.
5 Han førte krig med Ammons barns konge og overvant dem, så at Ammons barn det år måtte gi ham hundre talenter sølv og ti tusen kor hvete og ti tusen kor bygg; det samme måtte Ammons barn gi ham også i det annet og det tredje år.
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 Således blev Jotam mektig, fordi han stadig vandret for Herrens, sin Guds åsyn.
So Jotham became mighty, because he ordered his ways before the LORD his God.
7 Hvad som ellers er å fortelle om Jotam, om alle hans kriger og alt det han tok sig fore, det er opskrevet i boken om Israels og Judas konger.
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 Han var fem og tyve år gammel da han blev konge, og regjerte seksten år i Jerusalem.
He was twenty-five years old when he began to reign, and reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem.
9 Og Jotam la sig til hvile hos sine fedre, og de begravde ham i Davids stad; og hans sønn Akas blev konge i hans sted.
Jotham slept with his fathers, and they buried him in David’s city; and Ahaz his son reigned in his place.
