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。

twenty-five years old, was Jotham when he began to reign, and, sixteen years, reigned he in Jerusalem, —and, the name of his mother, was Jerushah, 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 that which was right in the eyes of Yahweh, according to all that Uzziah his father had done, only he entered not into the temple of Yahweh, —though still were the people acting corruptly.

3 约坦建立耶和华殿的上门，在俄斐勒城上多有建造，

He, built the upper gate of the house of Yahweh, -and, on the wall of Ophel, built he extensively.

4 又在犹大山地建造城邑，在树林中建筑营寨和高楼。

Cities also, built he, in the hill country of Judah, —and, in the thick woods, built he fortresses and towers.

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, also made war against the king of the sons of Ammon, and prevailed against them, and the sons of Ammon gave him, during that year, a hundred talents of silver, and ten thousand measures of wheat, and, of barley, ten thousand, —this, did the sons of Ammon render him, both in the second year, and the third.

6 约坦在耶和华—他 神面前行正道，以致日渐强盛。

So Jotham strengthened himself, —for he fixed his ways before Yahweh 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。

But, the rest of the story of Jotham, and all his wars, and his ways, lo! there they are 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。

Twenty-five years old, was he when he began to reign, —and, sixteen years, reigned he 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 Ahaz his son reigned in his stead.
