2 Cronica 27
Magandang Balita Biblia (with Deuterocanon)
Si Haring Jotam ng Juda(A)
27 Si Jotam ay dalawampu't limang taóng gulang nang maging hari at labing-anim na taon siyang naghari sa Jerusalem. Ang kanyang ina ay si Jerusa na anak ni Zadok. 2 Tulad ng kanyang amang si Uzias, ang mga ginawa niya'y naging kalugud-lugod sa paningin ni Yahweh ngunit hindi niya ito tinularan sa pagpasok sa Templo upang magsunog ng insenso roon. Sa kabila nito, nagpatuloy pa rin sa pagkakasala ang sambayanan. 3 Ipinagawa ni Jotam ang Hilagang Pintuan ng Templo at pinatibay ang pader ng Jerusalem sa gawing Ofel. 4 Nagtayo siya ng mga lunsod sa kaburulan ng Juda. Gumawa rin siya ng mga kuta at bantayan sa kakahuyan. 5 Nakipaglaban siya at nagtagumpay sa hari ng mga Ammonita. Nang taóng iyon ay nagbayad sa kanya ang mga Ammonita ng 3,500 kilong pilak, trigo na nakalagay sa 10,000 malalaking sisidlan[a] at sebada na nakalagay sa 10,000 malalaking sisidlan. Gayundin ang ibinayad sa kanya nang ikalawa at ikatlong taon. 6 Dahil sa kanyang pananatiling tapat sa Diyos niyang si Yahweh, lumaki ang kapangyarihan ni Jotam. 7 Ang ibang mga ginawa ni Jotam sa panahon ng kanyang paghahari, pati ang lahat niyang pakikipaglaban at ginawa sa panahon ng kapayapaan ay nakasulat sa Kasaysayan ng mga Hari ng Israel at Juda. 8 Dalawampu't limang taóng gulang siya nang maging hari at labing-anim na taon siyang naghari sa Jerusalem. 9 Namatay siya at inilibing sa Lunsod ni David. Ang anak niyang si Ahaz ang humalili sa kanya bilang hari.

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.
