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 began to reign; and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem: and his mother's name was Jerushah 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

He did that which was right in the eyes of the LORD, according to all that his father Uzziah had done: however he did not enter into the LORD's temple. The people still did corruptly.

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 built the Upper Gate of the house of the LORD, and he carried out considerable work on 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

Moreover he built cities in the hill country of Judah, and in the forests he built fortresses and towers.

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 also with the king of the people of Ammon, and prevailed against them. The people of Ammon gave him the same year one hundred talents of silver, and ten thousand measures of wheat, and ten thousand of barley. The people of Ammon gave that much to him in the second year also, and in the third.

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

So Jotham became mighty, because he ordered his ways 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 acts of Jotham, and all his wars, and his ways, look, they are 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 five and twenty years old when he began to reign, and reigned 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

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