< 2 Kroniška 27 >
1 Jotám je bil star petindvajset let, ko je začel kraljevati in v Jeruzalemu je kraljeval šestnajst let. Ime njegove matere je bilo Jerúša, Cadókova hči.
Jotham was twenty-five years old when he began to reign; and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem: and his mother's name was Jerushah the daughter of Zadok.
2 Delal je to, kar je bilo pravilno v Gospodovih očeh, glede na vse to, kar je delal njegov oče Uzíjah. Vendar ni vstopil v Gospodov tempelj. Ljudstvo pa je še počelo izprijeno.
He did that which was right in the eyes of the LORD, according to all that his father Uzziah had done: however he did not enter into the LORD's temple. The people still did corruptly.
3 Zgradil je visoka velika vrata Gospodove hiše in na obzidju Ofele je mnogo gradil.
He built the Upper Gate of the house of the LORD, and he carried out considerable work on the wall of Ophel.
4 Poleg tega je zgradil mesta v Judovih gorah in v gozdovih je zgradil gradove in stolpe.
Moreover he built cities in the hill country of Judah, and in the forests he built fortresses and towers.
5 Boril se je tudi s kraljem Amóncev in prevladal zoper njih. Amónovi otroci so mu isto leto dali sto talentov srebra, sto tisoč mer pšenice in deset tisoč [mer] ječmena. Toliko so mu Amónovi otroci plačali tako drugo leto kakor tretje leto.
He fought also with the king of the people of Ammon, and prevailed against them. The people of Ammon gave him the same year one hundred talents of silver, and ten thousand measures of wheat, and ten thousand of barley. The people of Ammon gave that much to him in the second year also, and in the third.
6 Tako je Jotám postal mogočen, ker je pripravil svoje poti pred Gospodom, svojim Bogom.
So Jotham became mighty, because he ordered his ways before the LORD his God.
7 Torej preostala izmed Jotámovih dejanj in vse njegove vojne in njegove poti, glej, zapisane so v knjigi Izraelovih in Judovih kraljev.
Now the rest of the acts of Jotham, and all his wars, and his ways, look, they are written in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah.
8 Star je bil petindvajset let, ko je začel kraljevati in v Jeruzalemu je kraljeval šestnajst let.
He was five and twenty years old when he began to reign, and reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem.
9 Jotám je zaspal s svojimi očeti in pokopali so ga v Davidovem mestu in namesto njega je zakraljeval njegov sin Aház.
Jotham slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the City of David: and Ahaz his son reigned in his place.
