歷代志下 27

1 約坦登基的時候年二十五歲，在耶路撒冷作王十六年，他母親名叫耶路沙，是撒督的女兒。

Joatham was five and twenty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem: the name of his mother was Jerusa the daughter of Sadoc.

2 約坦行耶和華眼中看為正的事，效法他父烏西雅一切所行的，只是不入耶和華的殿。百姓還行邪僻的事。

And he did that which was right before the Lord, according to all that Ozias his father had done, only that he entered not into the temple of the Lord, and the people still transgressed.

3 約坦建立耶和華殿的上門，在俄斐勒城上多有建造，

He built the high gate of the house of the Lord, and on the wall of Ophel he built much.

4 又在猶大山地建造城邑，在樹林中建築營寨和高樓。

Moreover he built cities in the mountains of Juda, and castles and towers in the forests.

5 約坦與亞捫人的王打仗勝了他們，當年他們進貢銀一百他連得，小麥一萬歌珥，大麥一萬歌珥；第二年、第三年也是這樣。

Ho fought against the king of the children of Ammon, and overcame them, and the children of Ammon gave him at that time a hundred talents of silver, and ten thousand measures of wheat, and as many measures of barley: so much did the children of Ammon give him in the second and third year.

6 約坦在耶和華－他上帝面前行正道，以致日漸強盛。

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

7 約坦其餘的事和一切爭戰，並他的行為，都寫在以色列和猶大列王記上。

Now the rest of the acts of Joatham, and all his wars, and his works, are written in the book of the kings of Israel and Juda.

8 他登基的時候年二十五歲，在耶路撒冷作王十六年。

He was five and twenty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem.

9 約坦與他列祖同睡，葬在大衛城裏。他兒子亞哈斯接續他作王。

And Joatham slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city of David: and Achaz his son reigned in his stead.
