< 2 Књига дневника 27 >
1 Двадесет и пет година беше Јотаму кад поче царовати, и царова шеснаест година у Јерусалиму; матери му беше име Јеруса, кћи Садокова.
Jotham was twenty-five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Jerushah the daughter of Zadok.
2 Он чињаше што је право пред Господом сасвим како је чинио Озија отац његов, само што не уђе у цркву Господњу; али народ још беше покварен.
He did that which was right in the LORD’s eyes, according to all that his father Uzziah had done. However he didn’t enter into the LORD’s temple. The people still acted corruptly.
3 Он начини висока врата на дому Господњем, и на зиду Офилу много назида.
He built the upper gate of the LORD’s house, and he built much on the wall of Ophel.
4 Још сазида и градове у гори Јудиној, и у шумама погради дворове и куле.
Moreover he built cities in the hill country of Judah, and in the forests he built fortresses and towers.
5 И војева с царем синова Амонових и савлада их; и дадоше му синови Амонови оне године сто таланата сребра и десет хиљада кора пшенице и јечма десет хиљада. Толико му дадоше синови Амонови и друге и треће године.
He also fought with the king of the children of Ammon, and prevailed against them. The children of Ammon gave him the same year one hundred talents of silver, ten thousand cors of wheat, and ten thousand cors of barley. The children of Ammon also gave that much to him in the second year, and in the third.
6 И тако осили Јотам, јер управи путеве своје пред Господом Богом својим.
So Jotham became mighty, because he ordered his ways before the LORD his God.
7 А остала дела Јотамова и ратови сви његови и путеви његови, ено су записани у књизи о царевима Израиљевим и Јудиним.
Now the rest of the acts of Jotham, and all his wars and his ways, behold, they are written in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah.
8 Двадесет и пет година беше му кад поче царовати, и царова шеснаест година у Јерусалиму.
He was twenty-five years old when he began to reign, and reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem.
9 И почину Јотам код отаца својих, и погребоше га у граду Давидовом; а на његово се место зацари Ахаз, син његов.
Jotham slept with his fathers, and they buried him in David’s city; and Ahaz his son reigned in his place.
