1[Atỳ nanjakan'i Jotama] Dimy amby roa-polo taona Jotama, fony izy vao nanjaka, ary enina ambin'ny folo taona no nanjakany tany Jerosalema. Ary ny anaran-dreniny dia Jerosa, zanakavavin'i Zadoka.
1A son of twenty and five years [is] Jotham in his reigning, and sixteen years he hath reigned in Jerusalem, and the name of his mother [is] Jerushah daughter of Zadok.
2Ary nanao izay mahitsy eo imason'i Jehovah izy, tahaka izay nataon'i Ozia rainy; nefa kosa tsy mba niditra tao amin'ny tempolin'i Jehovah izy. Ary ny vahoaka rehetra mbola nanao ratsy ihany.
2And he doth that which is right in the eyes of Jehovah, according to all that Uzziah his father did; only, he hath not come in unto the temple of Jehovah; and again are the people doing corruptly.
3Izy no nanamboatra ny vavahady ambony amin'ny tranon'i Jehovah sady nandrafitra be tamin'ny mandan'i Ofela koa.
3He hath built the upper gate of the house of Jehovah, and in the wall of Ophel he hath built abundantly;
4Ary nanao tanàna teny amin'ny tany havoan'i Joda sy trano fiarovana ary tilikambo tany an'ala koa izy.
4and cities he hath built in the hill-country of Judah, and in the forests he hath built palaces and towers.
5Ary niady tamin'ny mpanjakan'ny taranak'i Amona koa izy ka naharesy azy. Ary tamin'izany taona izany ny taranak'i Amona nanome azy talenta volafotsy zato ary vary tritika sy vary hordea iray alina kora avy; izany no naloan'ny taranak'i Amona ho azy tamin'ny-taona faharoa sy fahatelo koa.
5And he hath fought with the king of the sons of Ammon, and prevaileth over them, and the sons of Ammon give to him in that year a hundred talents of silver, and ten thousand cors of wheat, and of barley ten thousand; this have the sons of Ammon returned to him both in the second year, and in the third.
6Ary dia nitombo hery Jotama, satria nizotra tsara teo anatrehan'i Jehovah Andriamaniny izy.
6And Jotham doth strengthen himself, for he hath prepared his ways before Jehovah his God.
7Ary ny tantaran'i Jotama sisa mbamin'ny adiny rehetra sy ny fanaony, indro, efa voasoratra ao amin'ny bokin'ny mpanjakan'ny Isiraely sy ny Joda izany.
7And the rest of the matters of Jotham, and all his battles, and his ways, lo, they are written on the book of the kings of Israel and Judah.
8Dimy amby roa-polo taona izy, fony vao nanjaka, ary enina ambin'ny folo taona no nanjakany tany Jerosalema.Ary Jotama lasa nodi-mandry any amin'ny razany, dia nalevina tany an-Tanànan'i Davida izy; ary Ahaza zanany no nanjaka nandimby azy.
8A son of twenty and five years was he in his reigning, and sixteen years he hath reigned in Jerusalem;
9Ary Jotama lasa nodi-mandry any amin'ny razany, dia nalevina tany an-Tanànan'i Davida izy; ary Ahaza zanany no nanjaka nandimby azy.
9and Jotham lieth with his fathers, and they bury him in the city of David, and reign doth Ahaz his son in his stead.
