2 Krønikebok 27
1 Fem og tjuge år gamall var Jotam då han vart konge, og sekstan år styrde han i Jerusalem. Mor hans heitte Jerusa Sadoksdotter.
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 Han gjorde det som rett var i Herrens augo, plent som Uzzia, far hans, hadde gjort, so nær som at han ikkje gjekk inn i Herrens hus. Men folket heldt ved og gjorde det som vondt var.
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 Han bygde den øvre porten i Herrens hus, og bygde dessutan mykje på Ofelmuren.
He improved the high gate of the house of the Lord. And he built many things upon the wall of Ophel.
4 Han bygde upp byar i Judafjelli og borger og tårn i skogarne.
Also, he built cities in the mountains of Judah, and fortresses and towers in the forests.
5 Han hadde krig med kongen yver Ammons-borni og vann yver deim, so at Ammons-borni svara skatt til honom i det året, tvo hundrad og femti våger sylv, tretti tusund tunnar kveite og tretti tusund tunnor bygg; det same svara Ammons-borni honom året etter og det tridje året med.
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 Soleis vart Jotam megtig, av di han stødt førde si livsferd for Herren, sin Gud.
And Jotham was strengthened, because he had directed his way before the Lord his God.
7 Det som elles er å fortelja um Jotam, um alle krigarne hans og um alle fyretaki hans, er uppskrive i Israels og Judas kongebok.
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 Fem og tjuge år var han då han vart konge, og sekstan år styrde han i Jerusalem.
He was twenty-five years old when he had begun to reign, and he reigned for sixteen years in Jerusalem.
9 So lagde Jotam seg til kvile hjå federne sine, og dei gravlagde honom i Davidsbyen, og Ahaz, son hans, vart konge i staden hans.
And Jotham slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the City of David. And his son, Ahaz, reigned in his place.
