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 began to reign; he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Jerushah; she was the 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.
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 Han byggde den höga porten i Herrans hus, och uppå muren Ophel byggde han mycket;
He built the upper gate of the house of Yahweh, and on the hill 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 hill country of Judah, and in the forests he built castles and towers.
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.
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 Alltså vardt Jotham mägtig; ty han skickade sina vägar för Herranom sinom Gud.
So Jotham became powerful because he walked firmly before Yahweh 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 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 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 began to reign; he reigned for 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.
Jotham slept with his ancestors, and they buried him in the city of David. Ahaz, his son, became king in his place.
