2 Cronici 27
Cornilescu 1924 - Revised 2010, 2014
Iotam, împăratul lui Iuda
27 Iotam avea douăzeci şi cinci(A) de ani când a ajuns împărat şi a domnit şaisprezece ani la Ierusalim. Mamă-sa se chema Ieruşa, fata lui Ţadoc. 2 El a făcut ce este bine înaintea Domnului, întocmai cum făcuse tatăl său, Ozia. Numai că n-a intrat în Templul Domnului. Totuşi poporul(B) se strica mereu. 3 Iotam a zidit poarta de sus a Casei Domnului şi a făcut multe clădiri pe zidurile de pe deal. 4 A zidit cetăţi în muntele lui Iuda şi cetăţui şi turnuri în dumbrăvi. 5 A fost în război cu împăratul fiilor lui Amon şi i-a biruit. Fiii lui Amon i-au dat în anul acela o sută de talanţi de argint, zece mii de cori de grâu şi zece mii de orz şi i-au plătit tot atât pe anul al doilea şi al treilea. 6 Iotam a ajuns puternic pentru că şi-a urmat necurmat căile înaintea Domnului, Dumnezeului său. 7 Celelalte fapte ale lui Iotam, toate războaiele lui şi tot ce a făcut el, sunt scrise în cartea împăraţilor lui Israel şi Iuda. 8 El avea douăzeci şi cinci de ani când a ajuns împărat şi a domnit şaisprezece ani la Ierusalim. 9 Iotam a adormit(C) cu părinţii săi, şi l-au îngropat în cetatea lui David. Şi, în locul lui, a domnit fiul său Ahaz.
2 Chronicles 27
New International Version
Jotham King of Judah(A)
27 Jotham(B) was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem sixteen years. His mother’s name was Jerusha daughter of Zadok. 2 He did what was right in the eyes of the Lord, just as his father Uzziah had done, but unlike him he did not enter the temple of the Lord. The people, however, continued their corrupt practices. 3 Jotham rebuilt the Upper Gate of the temple of the Lord and did extensive work on the wall at the hill of Ophel.(C) 4 He built towns in the hill country of Judah and forts and towers in the wooded areas.
5 Jotham waged war against the king of the Ammonites(D) and conquered them. That year the Ammonites paid him a hundred talents[a] of silver, ten thousand cors[b] of wheat and ten thousand cors[c] of barley. The Ammonites brought him the same amount also in the second and third years.
6 Jotham grew powerful(E) because he walked steadfastly before the Lord his God.
7 The other events in Jotham’s reign, including all his wars and the other things he did, are written in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah. 8 He was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem sixteen years. 9 Jotham rested with his ancestors and was buried in the City of David. And Ahaz his son succeeded him as king.
