2-я Паралипоменон 27
1 Двадцати пяти лет был Иоафам, когда воцарился, и шестнадцать лет царствовал в Иерусалиме; имя матери его Иеруша, дочь Садока.
Jotham was 25 years old when he became the king of Judah. He ruled from Jerusalem for 16 years. His mother was Jerushah, the daughter of [the priest] Zadok.
2 И делал он угодное в очах Господних точно так, как делал Озия, отец его, только он не входил в храм Господень, и народ продолжал еще грешить.
Jotham did many things that pleased Yahweh like his father Uzziah did. He obeyed Yahweh and did things that are right. He did many things that his father Uzziah had done, but he did not burn incense in the temple, like his father had done. However, the people of Judah continued to sin against Yahweh.
3 Он построил верхние ворота дома Господня, и многое построил на стене Офела;
Jotham’s [workers] rebuilt the Upper Gate of the temple, and they did a lot of work to repair the wall near Ophel [Hill].
4 и города построил на горе Иудейской, и в лесах построил дворцы и башни.
They built towns in the hills of Judah, and they built forts and defense towers in the forests.
5 Он воевал с царем Аммонитян и одолел их, и дали ему Аммонитяне в тот год сто талантов серебра и десять тысяч коров пшеницы и ячменя десять тысяч. Это давали ему Аммонитяне и на другой год, и на третий.
During the time that Jotham was the king of Judah, his army attacked and defeated the army of the Ammon people-group. Then, every year during the next three years, he required the Anmon people-group to pay to him four tons of silver, 60,000 bushels of wheat, and 60,000 bushels of barley.
6 Так силен был Иоафам потому, что устроял пути свои пред лицем Господа Бога своего.
Jotham faithfully obeyed Yahweh his God, and as a result he became a very powerful king.
7 Прочие деяния Иоафама и все войны его и поведение его описаны в книге царей Израильских и Иудейских:
A record of everything else that Jotham did during the time that he was the king, including the wars that his army fought, is written in the scroll called ‘[the History of] the Kings of Israel and Judah’.
8 двадцати пяти лет был он, когда воцарился, и шестнадцать лет царствовал в Иерусалиме.
After Jotham had ruled Judah for 16 years, he died when he was 41 years old.
9 И почил Иоафам с отцами своими, и похоронили его в городе Давидовом. И воцарился Ахаз, сын его, вместо него.
He was buried in Jerusalem, and his son Ahaz became the king [of Judah].
