2 Chronicles 27

1 Joathan was of fyue and twenti yeer, whanne he bigan to regne, and he regnede sixtene yeer in Jerusalem; the name of his modir was Jerusa, the douyter of Sadoch.

約坦登基的時候年二十五歲，在耶路撒冷作王十六年，他母親名叫耶路沙，是撒督的女兒。

2 He dide that, that was riytful bifor the Lord, bi alle thingis whiche Ozie, his fadir, hadde do; outakun that he entride not in to the temple of the Lord, and the puple trespasside yit.

約坦行耶和華眼中看為正的事，效法他父烏西雅一切所行的，只是不入耶和華的殿。百姓還行邪僻的事。

3 He bildide the hiy yate of the hous of the Lord, and he bildide manye thingis in the wal of Ophel;

約坦建立耶和華殿的上門，在俄斐勒城上多有建造，

4 also he bildide citees in the hillis of Juda, and he bildide castels and touris in forestis.

又在猶大山地建造城邑，在樹林中建築營寨和高樓。

5 He fauyt ayens the kyng of the sones of Amon, and ouercam hym; and the sones of Amon yauen to hym in that tyme an hundrid talentis of siluer, and ten thousynde choris of barli, and so many of wheete; the sones of Amon yauen these thingis to hym in the secounde and in the thridde yeer.

約坦與亞捫人的王打仗勝了他們，當年他們進貢銀一百他連得，小麥一萬歌珥，大麥一萬歌珥；第二年、第三年也是這樣。

6 And Joathan was maad strong, for he hadde dressid hise weies bifor `his Lord God.

約坦在耶和華－他上帝面前行正道，以致日漸強盛。

7 Forsothe the residue of wordis of Joathan, and alle hise batels, and werkis, ben writun in the book of kyngis of Israel and of Juda.

約坦其餘的事和一切爭戰，並他的行為，都寫在以色列和猶大列王記上。

8 He was of fyue and twenti yeer, whanne he bigan to regne, and he regnede sixtene yeer in Jerusalem.

他登基的時候年二十五歲，在耶路撒冷作王十六年。

9 And Joathan slepte with hise fadris, and thei birieden hym in the citee of Dauid; and Achaz, his sone, regnede for him.

約坦與他列祖同睡，葬在大衛城裏。他兒子亞哈斯接續他作王。
