BBE Bible in Basic English
RV1909 Reina-Valera 1909
1 Jotham was twenty-five years old when he became king; and he was ruling in Jerusalem for sixteen years; and his mother's name was Jerushah, the daughter of Zadok.
1 DE VEINTICINCO años era Joatham cuando comenzó á reinar, y dieciséis años reinó en Jerusalem. El nombre de su madre fué Jerusa, hija de Sadoc.
2 He did what was right in the eyes of the Lord, as his father Uzziah had done; but he did not go into the Temple of the Lord. And the people still went on in their evil ways.
2 E hizo lo recto en ojos de Jehová, conforme á todas las cosas que había hecho Uzzías su padre, salvo que no entró en el templo de Jehová. Y el pueblo falseaba aún.
3 He put up the higher doorway of the house of the Lord, and did much building on the wall of the Ophel.
3 Edificó él la puerta mayor de la casa de Jehová, y en el muro de la fortaleza edificó mucho.
4 In addition, he made towns in the hill-country of Judah, and strong buildings and towers in the woodlands.
4 Además edificó ciudades en las montañas de Judá, y labró palacios y torres en los bosques.
5 He went to war with the king of the children of Ammon and overcame them. That year, the children of Ammon gave him a hundred talents of silver, and ten thousand measures of grain and ten thousand measures of barley. And the children of Ammon gave him the same amount the second year and the third.
5 También tuvo él guerra con el rey de los hijos de Ammón, á los cuales venció; y diéronle los hijos de Ammón en aquel año cien talentos de plata, y diez mil coros de trigo, y diez mil de cebada. Esto le dieron los hijos de Ammón, y lo mismo en el segundo año, y en el tercero.
6 So Jotham became strong, because in all his ways he made the Lord his guide.
6 Así que Joatham fué fortificado, porque preparó sus caminos delante de Jehová su Dios.
7 Now the rest of the acts of Jotham, and all his wars and his ways, are recorded in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah.
7 Lo demás de los hechos de Joatham, y todas sus guerras, y sus caminos, he aquí está escrito en el libro de los reyes de Israel y de Judá.
8 He was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he was ruling in Jerusalem for sixteen years.
8 Cuando comenzó á reinar era de veinticinco años, y dieciséis reinó en Jerusalem.
9 And Jotham went to rest with his fathers, and they put his body into the earth in the town of David; and Ahaz his son became king in his place.
9 Y durmió Joatham con sus padres, y sepultáronlo en la ciudad de David; y reinó en su lugar Achâz su hijo.
