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.

Joatham was five and twenty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem: the name of his mother was Jerusa the daughter of Sadoc.

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 that which was right before the Lord, according to all that Ozias his father had done, only that he entered not into the temple of the Lord, and the people still transgressed.

3 Han byggde den höga porten i Herrans hus, och uppå muren Ophel byggde han mycket;

He built the high gate of the house of the Lord, and on the wall of Ophel he built much.

4 Och byggde städer på Juda berg, och i skogomen byggde han slott och torn.

Moreover he built cities in the mountains of Juda, and castles 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.

Ho fought against the king of the children of Ammon, and overcame them, and the children of Ammon gave him at that time a hundred talents of silver, and ten thousand measures of wheat, and as many measures of barley: so much did the children of Ammon give him in the second and third year.

6 Alltså vardt Jotham mägtig; ty han skickade sina vägar för Herranom sinom Gud.

And Joatham was strengthened, because he had his way directed 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.

Now the rest of the acts of Joatham, and all his wars, and his works, are written in the book of the kings of Israel and Juda.

8 Fem och tjugu åra gammal var han, då han Konung vardt; och regerade i sexton år i Jerusalem.

He was five and twenty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem.

9 Och Jotham afsomnade med sina fader; och de begrofvo honom i Davids stad. Och hans son Ahas vardt Konung i hans stad.

And Joatham slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city of David: and Achaz his son reigned in his stead.
