¹Jotham 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.

¹Jotam je bil petindvajset let star, ko je zakraljeval, in vladal je šestnajst let v Jeruzalemu; in materi njegovi je bilo ime Jerusa, hči Zadokova.

²And 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.

²In delal je, kar je bilo prav v očeh GOSPODOVIH, po vsem, kar je bil delal Uzija, oče njegov, samo da ni šel v tempelj GOSPODOV. A ljudstvo je še ravnalo popačeno.

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

³On je sezidal gorenja vrata pri hiši GOSPODOVI, tudi na zidu Ofelovem je zidal veliko.

⁴Moreover he built cities in the mountains of Judah, and in the forests he built castles and towers.

⁴Dalje je sezidal mesta na Judovem gorovju, in v gozdih je zgradil gradove in stolpe.

⁵He 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.

⁵Bojeval se je tudi s kraljem sinov Amonovih in ga je premagal. In sinovi Amonovi so mu tisto leto dali sto talentov srebra in deset tisoč mer pšenice in deset tisoč ječmena. Toliko so mu dali sinovi Amonovi v drugem in v tretjem letu.

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

⁶Tako je postal Jotam mogočen, ker je uravnal poti svoji pred GOSPODOM, svojim Bogom.

⁷Now 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.

⁷Kar pa je več praviti o Jotamu, o vseh vojskah in vseh potih njegovih, glej, zapisano je v knjigi kraljev Izraelovih in Judovih.

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

⁸Petindvajset let je bil star, ko je zakraljeval, in vladal je šestnajst let v Jeruzalemu.In legel je Jotam k očetom svojim, in pokopali so ga v mestu Davidovem, in Ahaz, sin njegov, je zakraljeval na mestu njegovem.

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

⁹In legel je Jotam k očetom svojim, in pokopali so ga v mestu Davidovem, in Ahaz, sin njegov, je zakraljeval na mestu njegovem.
