II Chronicles 27

Yotam yirmi beş yaşında kral oldu ve Yeruşalim’de on altı yıl krallık yaptı. Annesi Sadok’un kızı Yeruşa’ydı.
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.
Babası Uzziya gibi, Yotam da RAB’bin gözünde doğru olanı yaptı. Ancak RAB’bin Tapınağı’na girmedi. Ne var ki, halk kötülük yapmayı sürdürmekteydi.
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.
Yotam RAB’bin Tapınağı’nın Yukarı Kapısı’nı onardı. Ofel Tepesi’ndeki surun üzerinde de birçok iş yaptı.
He built the high gate of the house of the LORD, and on the wall of Ophel he built much.
Yahuda’nın dağlık bölgesinde kentler, ormanlık tepelerinde kaleler ve kuleler kurdu.
Moreover he built cities in the mountains of Judah, and in the forests he built castles and towers.
Ammon Kralı’yla savaşarak Ammonlular’ı yendi. Ammonlular o yıl için kendisine yüz talant gümüş, on bin kor buğday, on bin kor arpa verdiler. İkinci ve üçüncü yıllar için de aynı miktarı ödediler.
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.
Tanrısı RAB’bin önünde kararlı bir şekilde yürüyen Yotam giderek güçlendi.
So Jotham became mighty, because he prepared his ways before the LORD his God.
Yotam’ın yaptığı öbür işler, bütün savaşları ve uygulamaları, İsrail ve Yahuda krallarının tarihinde yazılıdır.
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.
Yotam yirmi beş yaşında kral oldu ve Yeruşalim’de on altı yıl krallık yaptı.
He was five and twenty years old when he began to reign, and reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem.
Yotam ölüp atalarına kavuşunca, onu Davut Kenti’nde gömdüler. Yerine oğlu Ahaz kral oldu.
And Jotham slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city of David: and Ahaz his son reigned in his stead.
