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; he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Jerushah; she was 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 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 Zgradil je visoka velika vrata Gospodove hiše in na obzidju Ofele je mnogo gradil.
He built the upper gate of the house of Yahweh, and on the hill of Ophel he built much.
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 castles 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 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 Tako je Jotám postal mogočen, ker je pripravil svoje poti pred Gospodom, svojim Bogom.
So Jotham became powerful because he walked firmly before Yahweh his God.
7 Torej preostala izmed Jotámovih dejanj in vse njegove vojne in njegove poti, glej, zapisane so v knjigi Izraelovih in Judovih kraljev.
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 Star je bil petindvajset let, ko je začel kraljevati in v Jeruzalemu je kraljeval šestnajst let.
He was twenty-five years old when he began to reign; he reigned for 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 ancestors, and they buried him in the city of David. Ahaz, his son, became king in his place.
