1Двадесет и пет година беше Јотаму кад поче царовати, и царова шеснаест година у Јерусалиму; матери му беше име Јеруса, кћи Садокова.
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.
2Он чињаше што је право пред Господом сасвим како је чинио Озија отац његов, само што не уђе у цркву Господњу; али народ још беше покварен.
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.
3Он начини висока врата на дому Господњем, и на зиду Офилу много назида.
3He built the high gate of the house of the LORD, and on the wall of Ophel he built much.
4Још сазида и градове у гори Јудиној, и у шумама погради дворове и куле.
4Moreover he built cities in the mountains of Judah, and in the forests he built castles and towers.
5И војева с царем синова Амонових и савлада их; и дадоше му синови Амонови оне године сто таланата сребра и десет хиљада кора пшенице и јечма десет хиљада. Толико му дадоше синови Амонови и друге и треће године.
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.
6И тако осили Јотам, јер управи путеве своје пред Господом Богом својим.
6So Jotham became mighty, because he prepared his ways before the LORD his God.
7А остала дела Јотамова и ратови сви његови и путеви његови, ено су записани у књизи о царевима Израиљевим и Јудиним.
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.
8Двадесет и пет година беше му кад поче царовати, и царова шеснаест година у Јерусалиму.
8He was five and twenty years old when he began to reign, and reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem.
9И почину Јотам код отаца својих, и погребоше га у граду Давидовом; а на његово се место зацари Ахаз, син његов.
9And Jotham slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city of David: and Ahaz his son reigned in his stead.
