歴代誌Ⅱ 27

1 ヨタムは王となった時二十五歳で、十六年の間エルサレムで世を治めた。その母はザドクの娘で名をエルシャといった。

Iotham was fiue and twentie yere olde when he began to reigne, and reigned sixteene yeere in Ierusalem, and his mothers name was Ierushah the daughter of Zadok.

2 ヨタムはその父ウジヤがしたように主の良しと見られることをした。しかし主の宮には、はいらなかった。民はなお悪を行った。

And hee did vprightly in the sight of the Lord according to all that his father Vzziah did, saue that hee entred not into the Temple of the Lord, and the people did yet corrupt their wayes.

3 彼は主の宮の上の門を建て、オペルの石がきを多く築き増し、

He buylt the hie gate of the house of the Lord, and he buylt very much on the wall of the castle.

4 またユダの山地に数個の町を建て、林の間に城とやぐらを築いた。

Moreouer hee buylt cities in the mountaines of Iudah, and in the forests he buylt palaces and towres.

5 彼はアンモンびとの王と戦ってこれに勝った。その年アンモンの人々は銀百タラント、小麦一万コル、大麦一万コルを彼に贈った。アンモンの人々は第二年にも第三年にも同じように彼に納めた。

And he fought with the King of the children of Ammon, and preuailed against them. And the children of Ammon gaue him the same yere an hundreth talents of siluer, and ten thousande measures of wheate, and ten thousand of barley: this did the children of Ammon giue him both in the second yeere and the third.

6 ヨタムはその神、主の前にその行いを堅くしたので力ある者となった。

So Iotham became mightie because hee directed his way before the Lord his God.

7 ヨタムのその他の行為、そのすべての戦いおよびその行いなどは、イスラエルとユダの列王の書にしるされている。

Concerning the rest of the acts of Iotham, and all his warres and his wayes, loe, they are written in the booke of the Kings of Israel, and Iudah.

8 彼は王となった時、二十五歳で、十六年の間エルサレムで世を治めた。

He was fiue and twentie yeere olde when he began to reigne, and reigned sixteene yeere in Ierusalem.

9 ヨタムはその先祖と共に眠ったので、ダビデの町に葬られ、その子アハズが彼に代って王となった。

And Iotham slept with his fathers, and they buryed him in the citie of Dauid: and Ahaz his sonne reigned in his stead.
