2 Crônicas 27

1 Jotham was twenty-five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Jerushah the daughter of Zadok. 2 He did that which was right in Yahweh’s eyes, according to all that his father Uzziah had done. However he didn’t enter into Yahweh’s temple. The people still acted corruptly. 3 He built the upper gate of Yahweh’s house, and he built much on the wall of Ophel. 4 Moreover he built cities in the hill country of Judah, and in the forests he built fortresses and towers. 5 He also fought with the king of the children of Ammon, and prevailed against them. The children of Ammon gave him the same year one hundred talents*27:5 A talent is about 30 kilograms or 66 pounds of silver, ten thousand cors*27:5 1 cor is the same as a homer, or about 55.9 U. S. gallons (liquid) or 211 liters or 6 bushels. 10,000 cors of wheat would weigh about 1,640 metric tons. of wheat, and ten thousand cors of barley.*27:5 10,000 cors of barley would weigh about 1,310 metric tons. The children of Ammon also gave that much to him in the second year, and in the third. 6 So Jotham became mighty, because he ordered his ways before Yahweh 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 twenty-five years old when he began to reign, and reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem. 9 Jotham slept with his fathers, and they buried him in David’s city; and Ahaz his son reigned in his place.

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.
