2 Chronicles 27

1 twenty-five years old, was Jotham when he began to reign, and, sixteen years, reigned he in Jerusalem, —and, the name of his mother, was Jerushah, 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 that which was right in the eyes of Yahweh, according to all that Uzziah his father had done, only he entered not into the temple of Yahweh, —though still were the people acting corruptly.

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, built the upper gate of the house of Yahweh, -and, on the wall of Ophel, built he extensively.

約坦建立耶和華殿的上門，在俄斐勒城上多有建造，

4 Cities also, built he, in the hill country of Judah, —and, in the thick woods, built he fortresses and towers.

又在猶大山地建造城邑，在樹林中建築營寨和高樓。

5 He, also made war against the king of the sons of Ammon, and prevailed against them, and the sons of Ammon gave him, during that year, a hundred talents of silver, and ten thousand measures of wheat, and, of barley, ten thousand, —this, did the sons of Ammon render him, both in the second year, and the third.

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 So Jotham strengthened himself, —for he fixed his ways before Yahweh his God.

約坦在耶和華－他上帝面前行正道，以致日漸強盛。

7 But, the rest of the story of Jotham, and all his wars, and his ways, lo! there they are 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 Twenty-five years old, was he when he began to reign, —and, sixteen years, reigned he 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 Ahaz his son reigned in his stead.

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。
