Taariikhdii Labaad 27

1 Yootamna markuu boqor noqday wuxuu jiray shan iyo labaatan sannadood, oo Yeruusaalem ayuu boqor ku ahaa lix iyo toban sannadood, oo hooyadiis magaceedana waxaa la odhan jiray Yeruushaah ina Saadooq.

Jotham was 25 years old when he became the king of Judah. He ruled from Jerusalem for 16 years. His mother was Jerushah, the daughter of [the priest] Zadok.

2 Oo isna wuxuu sameeyey wax Rabbiga hortiisa ku qumman, oo wuxuu wada yeelay sidii aabbihiis Cusiyaah yeelay oo kale. Habase yeeshee ma uu gelin macbudkii Rabbiga, oo dadkiina weliba way sii xumaadeen.

Jotham did many things that pleased Yahweh like his father Uzziah did. He obeyed Yahweh and did things that are right. He did many things that his father Uzziah had done, but he did not burn incense in the temple, like his father had done. However, the people of Judah continued to sin against Yahweh.

3 Oo isagu wuxuu dhisay iriddii sare oo guriga Rabbiga, oo derbigii Cofel dushiisana wax badan buu ka dhisay.

Jotham’s [workers] rebuilt the Upper Gate of the temple, and they did a lot of work to repair the wall near Ophel [Hill].

4 Oo haddana wuxuu magaalooyin ka dhisay dalka Yahuudah oo buuraha leh, oo kaynta dhexdeedana wuxuu ka dhisay qalcado iyo munaarado.

They built towns in the hills of Judah, and they built forts and defense towers in the forests.

5 Oo weliba wuxuu la diriray oo ka adkaaday boqorkii reer Cammoon. Oo reer Cammoonna isla sannaddaasba waxay isagii siiyeen boqol talanti oo lacag ah, iyo toban kun oo kor oo sarreen ah, iyo toban kun oo kor oo shaciir ah. Oo reer Cammoon intaas ayay siiyeen sannaddii labaad iyo sannaddii saddexaadba.

During the time that Jotham was the king of Judah, his army attacked and defeated the army of the Ammon people-group. Then, every year during the next three years, he required the Anmon people-group to pay to him four tons of silver, 60,000 bushels of wheat, and 60,000 bushels of barley.

6 Oo sidaasuu Yootam u xoogaystay, maxaa yeelay, jidadkiisa ayuu ku hor toosiyey Rabbiga Ilaahiisa ah.

Jotham faithfully obeyed Yahweh his God, and as a result he became a very powerful king.

7 Haddaba Yootam falimihiisii kale iyo dagaalladiisii oo dhan iyo jidadkiisii oo dhammu waxay ku qoran yihiin kitaabkii boqorrada dalka Israa'iil iyo dalka Yahuudah.

A record of everything else that Jotham did during the time that he was the king, including the wars that his army fought, is written in the scroll called ‘[the History of] the Kings of Israel and Judah’.

8 Markuu boqor noqday wuxuu jiray shan iyo labaatan sannadood, oo Yeruusaalemna lix iyo toban sannadood buu boqor ku ahaa.

After Jotham had ruled Judah for 16 years, he died when he was 41 years old.

9 Markaasaa Yootam dhintay oo la seexday awowayaashiis oo waxaa lagu aasay magaaladii Daa'uud, oo meeshiisiina waxaa boqor ka noqday wiilkiisii Aaxaas.

He was buried in Jerusalem, and his son Ahaz became the king [of Judah].
