Ii Paralipomenon 27

1 Viginti quinque annorum erat Joatham cum regnare cœpisset, et sedecim annis regnavit in Jerusalem: nomen matris ejus Jerusa filia Sadoc.

Jotham was twenty-five years old when he began to reign; he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Jerushah; she was the daughter of Zadok.

2 Fecitque quod rectum erat coram Domino, juxta omnia quæ fecerat Ozias pater suus, excepto quod non est ingressus templum Domini: et adhuc populus delinquebat.

He did what was right in the eyes of Yahweh, following the example of his father, Uzziah, in everything. He also refrained from going into the temple of Yahweh. But the people were still behaving in evil ways.

3 Ipse ædificavit portam domus Domini excelsam, et in muro Ophel multa construxit.

He built the upper gate of the house of Yahweh, and on the hill of Ophel he built much.

4 Urbes quoque ædificavit in montibus Juda, et in saltibus castella et turres.

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

5 Ipse pugnavit contra regem filiorum Ammon, et vicit eos, dederuntque ei filii Ammon in tempore illo centum talenta argenti, et decem millia coros tritici, ac totidem coros hordei: hæc ei præbuerunt filii Ammon in anno secundo et tertio.

He fought also with the king of the people of Ammon and defeated them. In that same year, the people of Ammon gave him one hundred talents of silver, ten thousand measures of wheat, ten thousand measures of barley. The people of Ammon gave him the same in the second and third years.

6 Corroboratusque est Joatham, eo quod direxisset vias suas coram Domino Deo suo.

So Jotham became powerful because he walked firmly before Yahweh his God.

7 Reliqua autem sermonum Joatham, et omnes pugnæ ejus et opera, scripta sunt in libro regum Israël et Juda.

As for the other matters concerning Jotham, all his wars, and his ways, see, they are written in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah.

8 Viginti quinque annorum erat cum regnare cœpisset, et sedecim annis regnavit in Jerusalem.

He was twenty-five years old when he began to reign; he reigned for sixteen years in Jerusalem.

9 Dormivitque Joatham cum patribus suis, et sepelierunt eum in civitate David: et regnavit Achaz filius ejus pro eo.

Jotham slept with his ancestors, and they buried him in the city of David. Ahaz, his son, became king in his place.
