2 Chronicles 27

1 Jotamu sì jẹ́ ẹni ọdún mẹ́ẹ̀ẹ́dọ́gbọ̀n nígbà tí ó jẹ ọba, ó sì di ọba ní Jerusalẹmu fún ọdún mẹ́rìndínlógún. Orúkọ ìyá rẹ̀ sì ni Jeruṣa ọmọbìnrin Sadoku.

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 Ó sì ṣe ohun tí ó tọ́ ní ojú Olúwa, gẹ́gẹ́ bí baba rẹ̀ Ussiah ti ṣe, ṣùgbọ́n kìkì wí pé kò wọ ilé Olúwa. Àwọn ènìyàn síbẹ̀síbẹ̀ wọ́n ń ṣe iṣẹ́ ibi wọn.

He did that which was right in Yahweh’s eyes, according to all that his father Uzziah had done. However he didn’t enter into Yahweh’s temple. The people still acted corruptly.

3 Jotamu sì kọ́ ẹnu-ọ̀nà gíga ilé Olúwa ó sì ṣe iṣẹ́ lórí odi ni pẹ̀tẹ́lẹ̀ Ofeli.

He built the upper gate of Yahweh’s house, and he built much on the wall of Ophel.

4 Ó sì kọ́ àwọn ìlú ní Juda òkè àti nínú igbó àti ilé ìṣọ́, ó mọ ilé odi.

Moreover he built cities in the hill country of Judah, and in the forests he built fortresses and towers.

5 Jotamu sì ṣẹ́ ogun lórí ọba àwọn ará Ammoni ó sì borí wọn. Ní ọdún náà àwọn ará Ammoni wọ́n sì san fún ọgọ́rùn-ún tálẹ́ǹtì fàdákà àti ẹgbẹ̀rún mẹ́wàá òsùwọ̀n alikama àti ẹgbẹ̀rún mẹ́wàá barle. Àwọn ará Ammoni gbé e wá ní iye kan náà àti pẹ̀lú ní ọdún kejì àti ní ọdún kẹta.

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 Jotamu sì di alágbára nítorí ó rìn ní ọ̀nà tó tọ́ níwájú Olúwa Ọlọ́run rẹ̀.

So Jotham became mighty, because he ordered his ways before Yahweh his God.

7 Ìyókù iṣẹ́ ìjọba Jotamu, pẹ̀lú gbogbo àwọn ogun rẹ̀ pẹ̀lú ohun mìíràn tí ó ṣe, ni a kọ sínú ìwé àwọn ọba Israẹli àti ti Juda.

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 Ó sì jẹ́ ẹni ọdún mẹ́ẹ̀ẹ́dọ́gbọ̀n nígbà tí ó jẹ ọba, ó sì jẹ ọba ní Jerusalẹmu fún ọdún mẹ́rìndínlógún.

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

9 Jotamu sì sùn pẹ̀lú àwọn baba a rẹ̀ a sì sin ín ní ìlú Dafidi, Ahasi ọmọ rẹ̀ sì jẹ ọba ní ipò rẹ̀.

Jotham slept with his fathers, and they buried him in David’s city; and Ahaz his son reigned in his place.
