历代志下 27

1 约坦登基的时候年二十五岁，在耶路撒冷作王十六年，他母亲名叫耶路沙，是撒督的女儿。

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 约坦行耶和华眼中看为正的事，效法他父乌西雅一切所行的，只是不入耶和华的殿。百姓还行邪僻的事。

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 约坦建立耶和华殿的上门，在俄斐勒城上多有建造，

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

4 又在犹大山地建造城邑，在树林中建筑营寨和高楼。

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

5 约坦与亚扪人的王打仗胜了他们，当年他们进贡银一百他连得，小麦一万歌珥，大麦一万歌珥；第二年、第三年也是这样。

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 约坦在耶和华—他 神面前行正道，以致日渐强盛。

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

7 约坦其余的事和一切争战，并他的行为，都写在以色列和犹大列王记上。

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 他登基的时候年二十五岁，在耶路撒冷作王十六年。

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

9 约坦与他列祖同睡，葬在大卫城里。他儿子亚哈斯接续他作王。

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