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

¹Jotham was twenty-five years old when he began to reign; and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem; and his mother's name was Jerushah, daughter of Zadok.

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.

²And he did what was right in the sight of Jehovah, according to all that his father Uzziah had done; only he entered not into the temple of Jehovah. And the people still acted corruptly.

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

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

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

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

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.

⁵And he fought against the king of the children of Ammon, and overcame 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. This the children of Ammon brought again to him also in the second year, and in the third.

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

⁶And Jotham became strong, for he prepared his ways before Jehovah his God.

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

⁷And 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.

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

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

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

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