II Chronicles 27

كَانَ يُوثَامُ ابْنَ خَمْسٍ وَعِشْرِينَ سَنَةً حِينَ مَلَكَ، وَمَلَكَ سِتَّ عَشَرَةَ سَنَةً فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ، وَاسْمُ أُمِّهِ يَرُوشَةُ بِنْتُ صَادُوقَ.

Jotham was twenty and five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem. His mother's name also was Jerushah, the daughter of Zadok.

وَعَمِلَ الْمُسْتَقِيمَ فِي عَيْنَيِ الرَّبِّ حَسَبَ كُلِّ مَا عَمِلَ عُزِّيَّا أَبُوهُ، إِلاَّ أَنَّهُ لَمْ يَدْخُلْ هَيْكَلَ الرَّبِّ. وَكَانَ الشَّعْبُ يُفْسِدُونَ بَعْدُ.

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

هُوَ بَنَى الْبَابَ الأَعْلَى لِبَيْتِ الرَّبِّ، وَبَنَى كَثِيرًا عَلَى سُورِ الأَكَمَةِ.

He built the high gate of the house of the LORD, and on the wall of Ophel he built much.

وَبَنَى مُدُنًا فِي جَبَلِ يَهُوذَا، وَبَنَى فِي الْغَابَاتِ قِلَعًا وَأَبْرَاجًا.

Moreover he built cities in the mountains of Judah, and in the forests he built castles and towers.

وَهُوَ حَارَبَ مَلِكَ بَنِي عَمُّونَ وَقَوِيَ عَلَيْهِمْ، فَأَعْطَاهُ بَنُو عَمُّونَ فِي تِلْكَ السَّنَةِ مِئَةَ وَزْنَةٍ مِنَ الْفِضَّةِ، وَعَشَرَةَ آلاَفِ كُرِّ قَمْحٍ، وَعَشَرَةَ آلاَفٍ مِنَ الشَّعِيرِ. هذَا مَا أَدَّاهُ لَهُ بَنُو عَمُّونَ، وَكَذلِكَ فِي السَّنَةِ الثَّانِيَةِ وَالثَّالِثَةِ.

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

وَتَشَدَّدَ يُوثَامُ لأَنَّهُ هَيَّأَ طُرُقَهُ أَمَامَ الرَّبِّ إِلهِهِ.

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

وَبَقِيَّةُ أُمُورِ يُوثَامَ وَكُلُّ حُرُوبِهِ وَطُرُقِهِ، هَاهِيَ مَكْتُوبَةٌ فِي سِفْرِ مُلُوكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَيَهُوذَا.

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

كَانَ ابْنَ خَمْسٍ وَعِشْرِينَ سَنَةً حِينَ مَلَكَ، وَمَلَكَ سِتَّ عَشَرَةَ سَنَةً فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ.

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

ثُمَّ اضْطَجَعَ يُوثَامُ مَعَ آبَائِهِ فَدَفَنُوهُ فِي مَدِينَةِ دَاوُدَ، وَمَلَكَ آحَازُ ابْنُهُ عِوَضًا عَنْهُ.

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