2 Crônicas 27

Ko Kīngi Iotama o Hūrā

1 E rua tekau mā rima ngā tau o Iotama i tōna kīngitanga, ā, kotahi tekau mā ono ngā tau i kīngi ai ia ki Hiruhārama; ā, ko te ingoa hoki o tōna whaea ko Ieruha, he tamāhine nā Hāroko. 2 Ā, he tika tāna mahi ki tā Ihowā titiro, i rite ki ngā mea katoa i mea ai a Utia, tōna pāpā. Otiia, kīhai ia i tomo ki te temepara o Ihowā, i mahi tonu te iwi i te hē. 3 Nāna i hanga te Kūwaha o Runga o te whare o Ihowā, ā, he nui te wāhi i hangā e ia ki runga ki te taiepa i Ōpere. 4 I hangā anō e ia ētahi pā ki ngā maunga o Hūrā; hangā ana anō e ia ētahi taumaihi, ētahi pourewa ki ngā ngahere.

5 I whawhai anō ia ki te kīngi o ngā tama a Āmona, ā taea ana rātou e ia. Ā, hōmai ana e ngā tama a Āmona ki a ia i taua tau kotahi rau taranata hiriwa, tekau mano mēhua wīti, he pārei hoki tekau ngā mano. Ko ngā utu ēnei i hōmai e ngā tama a Āmona ki a ia, i te rua anō o ngā tau, ā, i te toru anō hoki.

6 Heoi, ka kaha haere a Iotama, nō te mea i whakatikaia e ia ōna huarahi i te aroaro o Ihowā, o tōna Atua.

7 Nā, ko ērā atu meatanga a Iotama, me āna whawhai katoa, me ōna huarahi, nanā, kua oti te tuhituhi ki te pukapuka o ngā kīngi o Īharaira rāua ko Hūrā. 8 E rua tekau mā rima ōna tau i tōna kīngitanga, ā, tekau mā ono ngā tau i kīngi ai ia ki Hiruhārama. 9 Nā, kua moe a Iotama ki ōna mātua, ā, tanumia iho ki te pā o Rāwiri, ā, ko tāna tama, ko Ahata, te kīngi i muri i a ia.

1 Jotham was twenty and 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. 2 And he did that which was right in the eyes of Jehovah, according to all that his father Uzziah had done: howbeit he entered not into the temple of Jehovah. And the people did yet corruptly. 3 He built the upper gate of the house of Jehovah, and on the wall of Ophel he built much. 4 Moreover he built cities in the hill-country of Judah, and in the forests he built castles and towers. 5 He fought also with the king of the children of Ammon, and prevailed against 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. So much did the children of Ammon render unto him, in the second year also, and in the third. 6 So Jotham became mighty, because he ordered his ways before Jehovah his God. 7 Now 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. 8 He was five and twenty years old when he began to reign, and reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem. 9 And Jotham slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city of David: and Ahaz his son reigned in his stead.
