2 Chronicles 27

1 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.

Jotham siangpahrang ah oh tangsuek naah saning pumphae pangato oh boeh; anih mah saning hatlai tarukto thung Jerusalem to uk. Amno loe Zadok canu Jerushah, tiah kawk o.

2 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.

Anih loe ampa Uzziah baktiah, Angraeng mikhnukah katoeng hmuennawk to sak; toe anih loe Angraeng ih im thungah akun ai. Toe prae kaminawk loe kahoih ai hmuen to sak o toengtoeng vop.

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

Jotham mah Angraeng ih kasang khongkha to sak, Ophel sipae to kacakah a sak.

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

Judah mae nuiah vangpuinawk to a sak moe, praezaek ah misa abuephaih hoi imsangnawk to a sak.

5 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.

Anih mah Amon siangpahrang to tuk moe, nihcae to pazawk. Misa pazawkhaih saning thungah Amon kaminawk mah, sumkanglung talent cumvaito, takaw cang phawh sang hato hoi barley cang phawh sang hato paek o. Saning hnetto hoi saning thumto haih naah doeh to tiah a paek o.

6 So Jotham became mighty, because he ordered his ways before the LORD his God.

Angmah ih Angraeng Sithaw hmaa ah katoeng ah a caeh pongah, Jotham loe len aep aep.

7 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.

Khenah, Jotham siangpahrang ah oh nathung sak ih hmuennawk, misa angtukhaihnawk hoi a sak ih toknawk boih loe, Israel hoi Judah siangpahrangnawk ih cabu thungah tarik o.

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

Siangpahrang ah oh amtong naah, anih loe saning pumphae pangato oh boeh moe, Jerusalem to saning hatlai tarukto thung a uk.

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

Jotham loe ampanawk khaeah anghak moe, David vangpui ah aphum o. Anih zuengah a capa Ahaz mah prae to uk.
