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.
1Tinha Jotão vinte e cinco anos quando começou a reinar, e reinou dezesseis anos em Jerusalém. E o nome de sua mãe era Jerusa, filha de Zadoque,
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.
2Ele fez o que era reto aos olhos do Senhor, conforme tudo o que fizera Uzias, seu pai; todavia não invadiu o templo do Senhor. Mas o povo ainda se corrompia.
3He built the upper gate of the house of Yahweh, and on the wall of Ophel he built much.
3Ele construiu a porta superior da casa do Senhor, e edificou extensivamente sobre o muro de Ofel.
4Moreover he built cities in the hill country of Judah, and in the forests he built castles and towers.
4Também edificou cidades na região montanhosa de Judá, e castelos e torres nos bosques.
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.
5Guerreou contra o rei dos amonitas e prevaleceu sobre eles; de modo que os amonitas naquele ano lhe deram cem talentos de prata, dez mil coros de trigo e dez mil de cevada. Isso lhe trouxeram os amonitas também no segundo e no terceiro ano.
6So Jotham became mighty, because he ordered his ways before Yahweh his God.
6Assim Jotão se tornou poderoso, porque dirigiu os seus caminhos na presença do Senhor seu Deus.
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.
7Ora, o restante dos atos de Jotão, e todas as suas guerras e os seus caminhos, eis que estão escritos no livro dos reis de Israel e de Judá.
8He was five and twenty years old when he began to reign, and reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem.
8Tinha vinte e cinco anos quando começou a reinar, e reinou dezesseis anos em Jerusalém.
9Jotham slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city of David: and Ahaz his son reigned in his place.
9E Jotão dormiu com seus pais, e o sepultaram na cidade de Davi. E Acaz, seu filho, reinou em seu lugar.
