2 CHRONICLES 27	اخبار الايام الثانية 27
1 Jotham was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Jerushah* the daughter of Zadok.	1 كَانَ يُوثَامُ ابْنَ خَمْسٍ وَعِشْرِينَ سَنَةً حِينَ مَلَكَ وَمَلَكَ سِتَّ عَشَرَةَ سَنَةً فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ وَاسْمُ أُمِّهِ يَرُوشَةُ بِنْتُ صَادُوقَ.
2 And he did what was right in the sight of the Lord, according to all that his father Uzziah had done (although he did not enter the temple of the Lord). But still the people acted corruptly.	2 وَعَمِلَ الْمُسْتَقِيمَ فِي عَيْنَيِ الرَّبِّ حَسَبَ كُلِّ مَا عَمِلَ عُزِّيَّا أَبُوهُ (إِلاَّ أَنَّهُ لَمْ يَدْخُلْ هَيْكَلَ الرَّبِّ). وَكَانَ الشَّعْبُ يُفْسِدُونَ بَعْدُ.
3 He built the Upper Gate of the house of the Lord, and he built extensively on the wall of Ophel.	3 هُوَ بَنَى الْبَابَ الأَعْلَى لِبَيْتِ الرَّبِّ وَبَنَى كَثِيراً عَلَى سُورِ الأَكَمَةِ.
4 Moreover he built cities in the mountains of Judah, and in the forests he built fortresses and towers.	4 وَبَنَى مُدُناً فِي جَبَلِ يَهُوذَا وَبَنَى فِي الْغَابَاتِ قِلَعاً وَأَبْرَاجاً.
5 He also fought with the king of the Ammonites and defeated them. And the people of Ammon gave him in that year one hundred talents of silver, ten thousand kors of wheat, and ten thousand of barley. The people of Ammon paid this to him in the second and third years also.	5 وَهُوَ حَارَبَ مَلِكَ بَنِي عَمُّونَ وَقَوِيَ عَلَيْهِمْ فَأَعْطَاهُ بَنُو عَمُّونَ فِي تِلْكَ السَّنَةِ مِئَةَ وَزْنَةٍ مِنَ الْفِضَّةِ وَعَشَرَةَ آلاَفِ كُرِّ قَمْحٍ وَعَشَرَةَ آلاَفٍ مِنَ الشَّعِيرِ. هَذَا مَا أَدَّاهُ لَهُ بَنُو عَمُّونَ وَكَذَلِكَ فِي السَّنَةِ الثَّانِيَةِ وَالثَّالِثَةِ.
6 So Jotham became mighty, because he prepared his ways before the Lord his God.	6 وَتَشَدَّدَ يُوثَامُ لأَنَّهُ هَيَّأَ طُرُقَهُ أَمَامَ الرَّبِّ إِلَهِهِ.
7 Now the rest of the acts of Jotham, and all his wars and his ways, indeed they are written in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah.	7 وَبَقِيَّةُ أُمُورِ يُوثَامَ وَكُلُّ حُرُوبِهِ وَطُرُقِهِ مَكْتُوبَةٌ فِي سِفْرِ مُلُوكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَيَهُوذَا.
8 He was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem.	8 كَانَ ابْنَ خَمْسٍ وَعِشْرِينَ سَنَةً حِينَ مَلَكَ وَمَلَكَ سِتَّ عَشَرَةَ سَنَةً فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ.
9 So Jotham rested with his fathers, and they buried him in the City of David. Then Ahaz his son reigned in his place.	9 ثُمَّ اضْطَجَعَ يُوثَامُ مَعَ آبَائِهِ فَدَفَنُوهُ فِي مَدِينَةِ دَاوُدَ وَمَلَكَ آحَازُ ابْنُهُ عِوَضاً عَنْهُ.
