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.
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 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 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 Han bygde den øvre porten i Herrens hus, og bygde dessutan mykje på Ofelmuren.
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 Han bygde upp byar i Judafjelli og borger og tårn i skogarne.
Moreover he built cities in the mountain of Judah, and in the forests he built castles and towers.
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.
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 Soleis vart Jotam megtig, av di han stødt førde si livsferd for Herren, sin Gud.
So Jotham became strong; because he directed his ways 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.
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 Fem og tjuge år var han då han vart konge, og sekstan år styrde han i Jerusalem.
Five and twenty years old was he when he became king, and sixteen years did he reign 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 Achaz his son became king in his stead.
