2 Masolo ya Kala 27

1 Yotami azalaki na mibu tuku mibale na mitano ya mbotama tango akomaki mokonzi, mpe akonzaki mibu zomi na motoba na Yelusalemi. Kombo ya mama na ye ezalaki « Yerusha. » Yerusha azalaki mwana ya Tsadoki.

Jotham was twenty-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 Yotami asalaki makambo ya sembo na miso ya Yawe ndenge kaka Oziasi, tata na ye, asalaki; kasi ye, atikalaki kokota te kati na Tempelo ya Yawe. Atako bongo, bato bakobaki kosala makambo mabe.

He did that which was right in the eyes of Jehovah, according to all that his father Uzziah had done: however he did not enter into Jehovah's temple. The people still did corruptly.

3 Yotami atongaki ekuke ya likolo ya Tempelo ya Yawe mpe asalaki misala ebele na mir, na ngomba Ofeli.

He built the Upper Gate of the house of Jehovah, and he carried out considerable work on the wall of Ophel.

4 Atongaki mpe bingumba kati na etuka ya bangomba ya Yuda, bandako makasi mpe bandako milayi kati na bazamba.

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

5 Yotami abundisaki mokonzi ya bato ya Amoni mpe alongaki bango. Na mobu wana mpe na mibu mibale oyo elandaki, bato ya Amoni bafutaki ye lokola mpako ya mokonzi bakilo nkoto misato na nkama mitano ya palata, bakilo nkoto minei na nkama mitano ya ble mpe bakilo nkoto minei na nkama mitano ya orje.

He fought also with the king of the people of Ammon, and prevailed against them. The people of Ammon gave him the same year one hundred talents of silver, and ten thousand measures of wheat, and ten thousand of barley. The people of Ammon gave that much to him in the second year also, and in the third.

6 Yotami akomaki na nguya makasi, pamba te azalaki kotambola na bosembo na miso ya Yawe, Nzambe na ye.

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

7 Makambo mosusu oyo etali bokonzi ya Yotami, bitumba mpe misala na ye nyonso, ekomama kati na buku ya masolo ya bakonzi ya Isalaele mpe ya Yuda.

Now the rest of the acts of Jotham, and all his wars, and his ways, look, they are written in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah.

8 Azalaki na mibu tuku mibale na mitano ya mbotama tango akomaki mokonzi, mpe akonzaki mibu zomi na motoba na Yelusalemi.

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

9 Yotami akendeki kokutana na bakoko na ye, mpe bakundaki ye kati na engumba ya Davidi. Akazi, mwana na ye ya mobali, akitanaki na ye na bokonzi.

Jotham slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the City of David: and Ahaz his son reigned in his place.
