2 Chronicles 27

1 Jotham was twenty-five years old when he had begun to reign, and he reigned for sixteen years in Jerusalem. The name of his mother was Jerusha, the daughter of Zadok.

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 And he did what was right before the Lord, in accord with all that his father, Uzziah, had done, except that he did not enter into the temple of the Lord, and still the people were transgressing.

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 improved the high gate of the house of the Lord. And he built many things upon the wall 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 built cities in the mountains of Judah, and fortresses and towers in the forests.

又在猶大山地建造城邑，在樹林中建築營寨和高樓。

5 He fought against the king of the sons of Ammon, and he defeated them. And at that time, the sons of Ammon gave to him one hundred talents of silver, and ten thousand cor of wheat, and the same number of cor of barley. These things the sons of Ammon offered to him in the second and third year.

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 Jotham was strengthened, because he had directed his way before the Lord his God.

約坦在耶和華－他上帝面前行正道，以致日漸強盛。

7 Now the rest of the words of Jotham, and all his battles and works, have been written in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah.

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 twenty-five years old when he had begun to reign, and he reigned for sixteen years 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 Jotham slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the City of David. And his son, Ahaz, reigned in his place.

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。
