Ii Paralipomenon 27
1 Vigintiquinque annorum erat Ioatham cum regnare cœpisset, et sedecim annis regnavit in Ierusalem: nomen matris eius Ierusa filia Sadoc.
Jotham [was] twenty and five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name also [was] Jerushah, the daughter of Zadok.
2 Fecitque quod rectum erat coram Domino iuxta omnia quæ fecerat Ozias pater suus, excepto quod non est ingressus templum Domini, et adhuc populus delinquebat.
And he did [that which was] right in the sight of the LORD, according to all that his father Uzziah did: howbeit he entered not into the temple of the LORD. And the people did yet corruptly.
3 Ipse ædificavit portam domus Domini excelsam, et in muro Ophel multa construxit.
He built the high gate of the house of the LORD, and on the wall of Ophel he built much.
4 Urbes quoque ædificavit in montibus Iuda, et in saltibus castella, et turres.
Moreover he built cities in the mountains 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 Ammonites, and prevailed against them. And the children of Ammon gave him the same year an hundred talents of silver, and ten thousand measures of wheat, and ten thousand of barley. So much did the children of Ammon pay unto him, both the second year, and the third.
6 Corroboratusque est Ioatham eo quod direxisset vias suas coram Domino Deo suo.
So Jotham became mighty, because he prepared his ways before the LORD his God.
7 Reliqua autem sermonum Ioatham, et omnes pugnæ eius, et opera, scripta sunt in Libro regum Israel et Iuda.
Now the rest of the acts of Jotham, and all his wars, and his ways, lo, they [are] written in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah.
8 Vigintiquinque annorum erat cum regnare cœpisset, et sedecim annis regnavit in Ierusalem.
He was five and twenty years old when he began to reign, and reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem.
9 Dormivitque Ioatham cum patribus suis, et sepelierunt eum in Civitate David: et regnavit Achaz filius eius pro eo.
And Jotham slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city of David: and Ahaz his son reigned in his stead.
