2 Meʻa Hokohoko 27
1Jotham 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.
1NAʻE uofulu taʻu mo e taʻu ʻe nima ʻae motuʻa ʻo Sotami ʻi heʻene kamata pule, pea naʻe pule ia ʻi he taʻu ʻe hongofulu ma ono ʻi Selūsalema. Pea ko e hingoa ʻo ʻene faʻē foki ko Selusa, ko e ʻofefine ʻo Satoki.
2And he did what was right in the eyes of the LORD according to all that his father Uzziah had done, except he did not enter the temple of the LORD. But the people still followed corrupt practices.
2Pea naʻe fai lelei ia ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova, ʻo fakatatau ki he meʻa kotoa pē naʻe fai ʻe heʻene tamai ko ʻUsaia: ka naʻe ʻikai hū ia ki he faletapu ʻo Sihova. Pea naʻe kei fai kovi ʻe he kakai.
3He built the upper gate of the house of the LORD and did much building on the wall of Ophel.
3Naʻe ngaohi ʻe ia ʻae matapā māʻolunga ʻoe fale ʻo Sihova, pea naʻa ne langa hake ʻaupito ki he ʻā maka ʻo Ofili.
4Moreover, he built cities in the hill country of Judah, and forts and towers on the wooded hills.
4Pea naʻa ne langa foki ʻae ngaahi kolo ʻi he ngaahi moʻunga ʻo Siuta, pea ne langa ʻi he ngaahi vao ʻakau ʻae ngaahi fale mālohi mo e fale māʻolunga.
5He fought with the king of the Ammonites and prevailed against them. And the Ammonites gave him that year 100 talents of silver, and 10,000 cors of wheat and 10,000 of barley. The Ammonites paid him the same amount in the second and the third years.
5Pea naʻe tau ia mo e tuʻi ʻoe kakai ʻAmoni, pea naʻe mālohi ia kiate kinautolu. Pea naʻe ʻatu kiate ia ʻe he fānau ʻa ʻAmoni ʻi he taʻu pe ko ia ʻae taleniti siliva ʻe teau, mo e puha fua ʻoe uite ʻe taha mano, mo e taha mano ʻoe paʻale. naʻe ʻatu ʻae meʻa lahi pehē ni ʻi hono ua ʻoe taʻu, mo hono tolu.
6So Jotham became mighty, because he ordered his ways before the LORD his God.
6Ko ia naʻe hoko ʻo mālohi lahi ʻa Sotami, ko e meʻa ʻi heʻene vakai ki hono ngaahi hala ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova ko hono ʻOtua.
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.
7Pea ko hono toe ʻoe ngāue ʻa Sotami, mo ʻene ngaahi tau kotoa pē, mo ʻene ngaahi anga, vakai, kuo tohi ia ʻi he tohi ʻoe ngaahi tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli mo Siuta.
8He was twenty-five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem.
8Naʻe uofulu taʻu ia mo e taʻu ʻe nima ʻi heʻene kamata pule, pea naʻe pule ʻe ia ʻi he taʻu ʻe hongofulu ma ono ʻi Selūsalema.
9And Jotham slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city of David, and Ahaz his son reigned in his place.
9Pea naʻe mohe ʻa Sotami mo ʻene ngaahi tamai, pea naʻa nau tanu ia ʻi he kolo ʻa Tevita: pea naʻe fetongi ia ʻi he pule ʻe hono foha ko ʻAhasi.
