2 Seenaa 27
1 Yootaam yeroo mootii taʼetti nama waggaa digdamii shan ture; innis Yerusaalem keessa taaʼee waggaa kudha jaʼa ni bulche. Maqaan haadha isaa Yaruusaa ture; isheenis intala Zaadoq turte.
Jotham was twenty-five when he became king, and he reigned in for Jerusalem sixteen years. His mother's name was Jerushah, daughter of Zadok.
2 Innis akkuma abbaan isaa Uziyaan godhe sana fuula Waaqayyoo duratti waan qajeelaa ni hojjete; inni garuu akka abbaa isaa mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyoo hin seenne. Taʼus namoonni cubbuu hojjechuu ittuma fufan.
He did what was right in the Lord's sight as his father Uzziah had done, and he did not enter the Lord's Temple as his father had. But the people still acted corruptly.
3 Yootaam Karra mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyoo kan Ol aanu deebisee ijaare; dallaa dhagaa kan gaara Oofeel irrattis hojiiwwan ijaarsaa baayʼee ni hojjete.
Jotham rebuilt the Upper Gate of the Lord's Temple, and did extensive building work on the wall at Ophel.
4 Gaarran Yihuudaa irratti magaalaawwan, bosona keessatti immoo daʼannoowwanii fi gamoowwan ni ijaare.
He built towns in the hill country of Judah, and fortresses and towers in the mountains and forests.
5 Yootaamis mootii Amoonotaa waraanee isaan ni moʼate. Waggaa sana keessa Amoononni meetii taalaantii dhibba tokko, qamadii qoroosii kuma kudhanii fi garbuu safartuu qoroosii kuma kudhan ni kennaniif. Amoononni waggaa lammaffaa fi waggaa sadaffaattis hammasuma ni kaffalaniif.
Jotham fought with the king of the Ammonites and defeated them. The Ammonites gave him every year for three years one hundred talents of silver, and ten thousand cors of wheat and ten thousand of barley.
6 Yootaam sababii fuula Waaqayyo Waaqa isaa dura amanamummaan deddeebiʼeef jabaachaa deeme.
Jotham grew powerful because he made sure what he did followed the ways of the Lord his God.
7 Wantoonni bara Yootaam keessa hojjetaman biraa, lola inni lolee fi wantoonni inni hojjete biraa kitaaba mootota Israaʼelii fi Yihuudaa keessatti barreeffamaniiru.
The rest of what Jotham did, his wars and other events, were written in the Book of the Kings of Israel and Judah.
8 Inni yeroo mootii taʼetti nama waggaa digdamii shan ture. Innis Yerusaalem keessa taaʼee waggaa kudha jaʼa ni bulche.
He was twenty-five when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem for sixteen years.
9 Yootaam abbootii isaa wajjin boqotee Magaalaa Daawit keessatti ni awwaalame. Ilmi isaa Aahaaz iddoo isaa buʼee mootii taʼe.
Jotham died and was buried in the City of David. His son Ahaz took over as king.
