2 Tawarikh 27

¹Yotam berumur dua puluh lima tahun pada waktu ia menjadi raja dan enam belas tahun lamanya ia memerintah di Yerusalem. Nama ibunya ialah Yerusa, anak Zadok.

¹Jotham 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.

²Ia melakukan apa yang benar di mata TUHAN, tepat seperti yang dilakukan Uzia, ayahnya, hanya ia tidak memasuki Bait TUHAN. Tetapi rakyat masih saja melakukan hal yang merusak.

²And he did what was right in the eyes of the LORD according to all that his father Uzziah had done, except he did not enter the temple of the LORD. But the people still followed corrupt practices.

³Ia mendirikan Pintu Gerbang Tinggi di rumah TUHAN dan mengadakan banyak pembangunan pada tembok Ofel.

³He built the upper gate of the house of the LORD and did much building on the wall of Ophel.

⁴Ia mendirikan juga kota-kota di pegunungan Yehuda dan benteng-benteng serta menara-menara di hutan-hutan.

⁴Moreover, he built cities in the hill country of Judah, and forts and towers on the wooded hills.

⁵Ia berperang melawan raja bani Amon dan mengalahkannya, sehingga pada tahun itu juga bani Amon membayar kepadanya seratus talenta perak, sepuluh ribu kor gandum dan sepuluh ribu kor jelai. Juga pada tahun kedua dan ketiga bani Amon membawa upeti itu kepadanya.

⁵He fought with the king of the Ammonites and prevailed against them. And the Ammonites gave him that year 100 talents of silver, and 10,000 cors of wheat and 10,000 of barley. The Ammonites paid him the same amount in the second and the third years.

⁶Yotam menjadi kuat, karena ia mengarahkan hidupnya kepada TUHAN, Allahnya.

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

⁷Selebihnya dari riwayat Yotam, segala peperangan dan tingkah langkahnya, sesungguhnya semuanya itu tertulis dalam kitab raja-raja Israel dan Yehuda.

⁷Now 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.

⁸Ia berumur dua puluh lima tahun pada waktu ia menjadi raja dan enam belas tahun lamanya ia memerintah di Yerusalem.

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

⁹Kemudian Yotam mendapat perhentian bersama-sama nenek moyangnya, dan ia dikuburkan di kota Daud. Maka Ahas, anaknya, menjadi raja menggantikan dia.

⁹And Jotham slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city of David, and Ahaz his son reigned in his place.
