< 2 Krönikeboken 27 >
1 Jotham var fem och tjugu åra gammal, då han Konung vardt, och regerade i sexton år i Jerusalem; hans moder het Jerusa, Zadoks dotter.
Jotham was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem sixteen years. His mother’s name was Jerushah daughter of Zadok.
2 Och han gjorde det Herranom väl behagade, såsom hans fader Ussia gjort hade; undantagno, att han icke gick i Herrans tempel. Och folket bar sig ännu illa åt.
And he did what was right in the eyes of the LORD, just as his father Uzziah had done. In addition, he did not enter the temple of the LORD. But the people still behaved corruptly.
3 Han byggde den höga porten i Herrans hus, och uppå muren Ophel byggde han mycket;
Jotham rebuilt the Upper Gate of the house of the LORD, and he worked extensively on the wall at the hill of Ophel.
4 Och byggde städer på Juda berg, och i skogomen byggde han slott och torn.
He also built cities in the hill country of Judah and fortresses and towers in the forests.
5 Och han stridde med Ammons barnas Konung; och han vardt dem öfvermägtig; så att Ammons barn gåfvo honom i de samma årena hundrade centen er silfver, tio tusend corar hvete, och tiotusend corar bjugg; så mycket gåfvo ock Ammons barn honom i de andra och tredje årena.
Jotham waged war against the king of the Ammonites and defeated them, and that year they gave him a hundred talents of silver, ten thousand cors of wheat, and ten thousand cors of barley. They paid him the same in the second and third years.
6 Alltså vardt Jotham mägtig; ty han skickade sina vägar för Herranom sinom Gud.
So Jotham grew powerful because he ordered his ways before the LORD his God.
7 Hvad nu mer af Jotham sägande är, och alla hans strider, och hans vägar, si, det är skrifvet i Israels och Juda Konungars bok.
As for the rest of the acts of Jotham, along with all his wars and his ways, they are indeed written in the Book of the Kings of Israel and Judah.
8 Fem och tjugu åra gammal var han, då han Konung vardt; och regerade i sexton år i Jerusalem.
He was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem sixteen years.
9 Och Jotham afsomnade med sina fader; och de begrofvo honom i Davids stad. Och hans son Ahas vardt Konung i hans stad.
And Jotham rested with his fathers and was buried in the City of David. And his son Ahaz reigned in his place.
