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 [is] a son of twenty-five years in his reigning, and he has reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem, and the name of his mother [is] Jerushah 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 does that which is right in the eyes of YHWH, according to all that his father Uzziah did; only, he has not come into the temple of YHWH; and again the people are doing corruptly.
3 Han bygde den øvre porten i Herrens hus, og bygde dessutan mykje på Ofelmuren.
He has built the Upper Gate of the house of YHWH, and in the wall of Ophel he has built abundantly;
4 Han bygde upp byar i Judafjelli og borger og tårn i skogarne.
and he has built cities in the hill-country of Judah, and he has built palaces 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.
And he has fought with the king of the sons of Ammon, and prevails over them, and the sons of Ammon give to him in that year one hundred talents of silver, and ten thousand cors of wheat, and ten thousand of barley; the sons of Ammon have returned this to him 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.
And Jotham strengthens himself, for he has prepared his ways before his God YHWH.
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 matters of Jotham, and all his battles, and his ways, behold, they are written on the scroll 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 a son of twenty-five years in his reigning, and he has reigned 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 lies with his fathers, and they bury him in the City of David, and his son Ahaz reigns in his stead.
