2 Crônicas 27
1 Jotham tinha vinte e cinco anos de idade quando começou a reinar, e reinou dezesseis anos em Jerusalém. O nome de sua mãe era Jerushah, a filha de Zadok.
Jotham was twenty-five years old when he began to reign; he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Jerushah; she was the daughter of Zadok.
2 Ele fez o que era certo aos olhos de Javé, de acordo com tudo o que seu pai Uzziah havia feito. Entretanto, ele não entrou no templo de Iavé. O povo ainda agiu de forma corrupta.
He did what was right in the eyes of Yahweh, following the example of his father, Uzziah, in everything. He also refrained from going into the temple of Yahweh. But the people were still behaving in evil ways.
3 Ele construiu o portão superior da casa de Iavé, e construiu muito sobre a parede de Ofel.
He built the upper gate of the house of Yahweh, and on the hill of Ophel he built much.
4 Moreover ele construiu cidades na região montanhosa de Judá, e nas florestas ele construiu fortalezas e torres.
Moreover he built cities in the hill country of Judah, and in the forests he built castles and towers.
5 Ele também lutou com o rei dos filhos de Amon, e prevaleceu contra eles. Os filhos de Amon lhe deram no mesmo ano cem talentos de prata, dez mil coros de trigo e dez mil coros de cevada. Os filhos de Ammon também lhe deram tanto no segundo ano, e no terceiro.
He fought also with the king of the people of Ammon and defeated them. In that same year, the people of Ammon gave him one hundred talents of silver, ten thousand measures of wheat, ten thousand measures of barley. The people of Ammon gave him the same in the second and third years.
6 Então Jotham tornou-se poderoso, porque ordenou seus caminhos diante de Yahweh seu Deus.
So Jotham became powerful because he walked firmly before Yahweh his God.
7 Agora o resto dos atos de Jotão, e todas as suas guerras e seus caminhos, eis que estão escritos no livro dos reis de Israel e Judá.
As for the other matters concerning Jotham, all his wars, and his ways, see, they are written in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah.
8 Ele tinha vinte e cinco anos quando começou a reinar, e reinou dezesseis anos em Jerusalém.
He was twenty-five years old when he began to reign; he reigned for sixteen years in Jerusalem.
9 Jotham dormiu com seus pais, e o enterraram na cidade de Davi; e Acaz seu filho reinou em seu lugar.
Jotham slept with his ancestors, and they buried him in the city of David. Ahaz, his son, became king in his place.
