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 and five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name also [was] Jerushah, the 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.
And he did [that which was] right in the sight of the LORD, according to all that his father Uzziah did: howbeit he entered not into the temple of the LORD. And the people did yet corruptly.
3 Yootaam Karra mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyoo kan Ol aanu deebisee ijaare; dallaa dhagaa kan gaara Oofeel irrattis hojiiwwan ijaarsaa baayʼee ni hojjete.
He built the high gate of the house of the LORD, and on the wall of Ophel he built much.
4 Gaarran Yihuudaa irratti magaalaawwan, bosona keessatti immoo daʼannoowwanii fi gamoowwan ni ijaare.
Moreover he built cities in the mountains of Judah, and in the forests he built castles and towers.
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.
He fought also with the king of the Ammonites, and prevailed against them. And the children of Ammon gave him the same year an hundred talents of silver, and ten thousand measures of wheat, and ten thousand of barley. So much did the children of Ammon pay unto him, both the second year, and the third.
6 Yootaam sababii fuula Waaqayyo Waaqa isaa dura amanamummaan deddeebiʼeef jabaachaa deeme.
So Jotham became mighty, because he prepared his ways before 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.
Now 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 Inni yeroo mootii taʼetti nama waggaa digdamii shan ture. Innis Yerusaalem keessa taaʼee waggaa kudha jaʼa ni bulche.
He was five and twenty years old when he began to reign, and reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem.
9 Yootaam abbootii isaa wajjin boqotee Magaalaa Daawit keessatti ni awwaalame. Ilmi isaa Aahaaz iddoo isaa buʼee mootii taʼe.
And Jotham slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city of David: and Ahaz his son reigned in his stead.
