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.

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 the 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.

²He did that which was right in the eyes of Yahweh, according to all that his father Uzziah had done: however he didn’t enter into Yahweh’s temple. The people still did corruptly.

³Izy no nanamboatra ny vavahady ambony amin'ny tranon'i Jehovah sady nandrafitra be tamin'ny mandan'i Ofela koa.

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

⁴Ary nanao tanàna teny amin'ny tany havoan'i Joda sy trano fiarovana ary tilikambo tany an'ala koa izy.

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

⁵He fought also with the king of the children of Ammon, and prevailed against them. The children of Ammon gave him the same year one hundred talents of silver, and ten thousand measures of wheat, and ten thousand of barley. The children of Ammon gave that much to him in the second year also, and in the third.

⁶Ary dia nitombo hery Jotama, satria nizotra tsara teo anatrehan'i Jehovah Andriamaniny izy.

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

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.

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.

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

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