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, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Jerushah 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 that which was right in the LORD’s eyes, according to all that his father Uzziah had done. However he didn’t enter into the LORD’s temple. The people still acted corruptly.
3 Han byggde den höga porten i Herrans hus, och uppå muren Ophel byggde han mycket;
He built the upper gate of the LORD’s house, and he built much on the wall of Ophel.
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 fortresses 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 also fought with the king of the children of Ammon, and prevailed against them. The children of Ammon gave him the same year one hundred talents of silver, ten thousand cors of wheat, and ten thousand cors of barley. The children of Ammon also gave that much to him in the second year, and in the third.
6 Alltså vardt Jotham mägtig; ty han skickade sina vägar för Herranom sinom Gud.
So Jotham became mighty, 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.
Now the rest of the acts of Jotham, and all his wars and his ways, behold, 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, and 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.
Jotham slept with his fathers, and they buried him in David’s city; and Ahaz his son reigned in his place.
