¹Jotham was twenty and 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.

¹Jootam oli kuningaks saades kakskümmend viis aastat vana ja ta valitses Jeruusalemmas kuusteist aastat; ta ema nimi oli Jeruusa, Saadoki tütar.

²And he did that which was right in the eyes of Jehovah, according to all that his father Uzziah had done: howbeit he entered not into the temple of Jehovah. And the people did yet corruptly.

²Tema tegi, mis õige oli Issanda silmis, kõigiti nõnda, nagu ta isa Ussija oli teinud, ainult ta ei tunginud Issanda templisse. Aga rahvas talitas veelgi kõlvatult.

³He built the upper gate of the house of Jehovah, and on the wall of Ophel he built much.

³Ta ehitas Issanda koja ülemise värava ja ta ehitas palju templikünka müüri.

⁴Moreover he built cities in the hill-country of Judah, and in the forests he built castles and towers.

⁴Ta ehitas linnu Juuda mäestikku ning ehitas kindlustatud paiku ja torne metsadesse.

⁵He fought also with the king of the children of Ammon, and prevailed against them. And the children of Ammon gave him the same year a hundred talents of silver, and ten thousand measures of wheat, and ten thousand of barley. So much did the children of Ammon render unto him, in the second year also, and in the third.

⁵Ta sõdis ammonlaste kuninga vastu ning võitis nad; ja ammonlased andsid temale sel aastal sada talenti hõbedat, kümme tuhat koori nisu ja kümme tuhat koori otri; seda tõid ammonlased temale ka teisel ja kolmandal aastal.

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

⁶Ja Jootam sai vägevaks, sest ta korrastas oma teid Issanda, oma Jumala ees.

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.

⁷Aga muud Jootami lood, kõik ta sõjad ja ettevõtmised, vaata, need on kirja pandud Iisraeli ja Juuda Kuningate raamatus.

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

⁸Ta oli kuningaks saades kakskümmend viis aastat vana ja ta valitses Jeruusalemmas kuusteist aastat.

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

⁹Siis Jootam läks magama oma vanemate juurde ja ta maeti Taaveti linna. Ja tema poeg Aahas sai tema asemel kuningaks.
