歴代誌Ⅱ 27

1 ヨタムは二十五歳の時位に即きヱルサレムにて十六年の間世を治めたり其母はザドクの女にして名をヱルシヤといふ

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.

2 ヨタムはその父ウジヤの凡て爲たるごとくヱホバの善と視たまふ事をなせり但しヱホバの殿には入ざりき民は尚惡き事を爲り

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.

3 彼ヱホバの家の上の門を建なほしオペルの石垣を多く築き増し

He improved the high gate of the house of the Lord. And he built many things upon the wall of Ophel.

4 ユダの山地に數箇の邑を建て林の間に城および戌楼を築けり

Also, he built cities in the mountains of Judah, and fortresses and towers in the forests.

5 彼アンモニ人の王と戰ひこれに勝り其年アンモンの子孫銀百タラント小麥一萬石大麥一萬石を彼におくれりアンモンの子孫は第二年にも第三年にも是のごとく彼に貢をいる

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.

6 ヨタムその神ヱホバの前においてその行を堅うしたるに因て權能ある者となれり

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

7 ヨタムのその餘の行爲その一切の戰闘およびその行などはイスラエルとユダの列王の書に記さる

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.

8 彼は二十五歳の時位に即きヱルサレムにて十六年の間世を治めたり

He was twenty-five years old when he had begun to reign, and he reigned for sixteen years in Jerusalem.

9 ヨタムその先祖等とともに寝りたればダビデの邑にこれを葬れりその子アハズこれに代りて王となる

And Jotham slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the City of David. And his son, Ahaz, reigned in his place.
