2 Ljetopisa 27

1 Jotamu je bilo dvadeset i pet godina kad se zakraljio, a kraljevao je šesnaest godina u Jeruzalemu. Materi mu je bilo ime Jeruša, Sadokova kći.

Jotham was twenty and five years old when he began to reign; and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem: and his mother’s name was Jerushah the daughter of Zadok.

2 Činio je što je pravo u Jahvinim očima, sasvim kao otac mu Uzija; samo što nije ušao u Jahvin Hekal. Narod je i dalje bio pokvaren.

And he did that which was right in the eyes of Jehovah, according to all that his father Uzziah had done: howbeit he entered not into the temple of Jehovah. And the people did yet corruptly.

3 Sagradio je Gornja vrata Doma Jahvina; i na Ofelskom zidu mnogo je gradio.

He built the upper gate of the house of Jehovah, and on the wall of Ophel he built much.

4 Podigao je i gradove po Judejskoj gori, a u šumama dvorove i kule.

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

5 Vojevao je s kraljem Amonovih sinova i pobijedio ih. Amonovi su mu sinovi dali one godine sto srebrnih talenata i deset tisuća kora pšenice i deset tisuća kora ječma. Toliko su mu Amonovi sinovi priložili i druge i treće godine.

He fought also with the king of the children of Ammon, and prevailed against them. And the children of Ammon gave him the same year a hundred talents of silver, and ten thousand measures of wheat, and ten thousand of barley. So much did the children of Ammon render unto him, in the second year also, and in the third.

6 Tako se Jotam utvrdio, jer je uredio svoj život pred Jahvom, svojim Bogom.

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

7 Ostala su Jotamova djela i svi njegovi ratovi i putovi zapisani u Knjizi o izraelskim i judejskim kraljevima.

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 Bilo mu je dvadeset i pet godina kad se zakraljio. Kraljevao je šesnaest godina u Jeruzalemu.

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

9 Tada Jotam počinu kod otaca i sahraniše ga u Davidovu gradu. Na njegovo se mjesto zakralji sin mu Ahaz.

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