2 Chronicles 27

1 Jotham was twenty-five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Jerushah the daughter of Zadok.

ヨタムは二十五歳の時位に即きヱルサレムにて十六年の間世を治めたり其母はザドクの女にして名をヱルシヤといふ

2 He did that which was right in the LORD’s eyes, according to all that his father Uzziah had done. However he did not enter into the LORD’s temple. The people still acted corruptly.

ヨタムはその父ウジヤの凡て爲たるごとくヱホバの善と視たまふ事をなせり但しヱホバの殿には入ざりき民は尚惡き事を爲り

3 He built the upper gate of the LORD’s house, and he built much on the wall of Ophel.

彼ヱホバの家の上の門を建なほしオペルの石垣を多く築き増し

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

ユダの山地に數箇の邑を建て林の間に城および戌楼を築けり

5 He also fought with the king of the children of Ammon, and prevailed against them. The children of Ammon gave him the same year one hundred talents of silver, ten thousand cors of wheat, and ten thousand cors of barley. The children of Ammon also gave that much to him in the second year, and in the third.

彼アンモニ人の王と戰ひこれに勝り其年アンモンの子孫銀百タラント小麥一萬石大麥一萬石を彼におくれりアンモンの子孫は第二年にも第三年にも是のごとく彼に貢をいる

6 So Jotham became mighty, because he ordered his ways before the LORD his God.

ヨタムその神ヱホバの前においてその行を堅うしたるに因て權能ある者となれり

7 Now the rest of the acts of Jotham, and all his wars and his ways, behold, they are written in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah.

ヨタムのその餘の行爲その一切の戰闘およびその行などはイスラエルとユダの列王の書に記さる

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

彼は二十五歳の時位に即きヱルサレムにて十六年の間世を治めたり

9 Jotham slept with his fathers, and they buried him in David’s city; and Ahaz his son reigned in his place.

ヨタムその先祖等とともに寝りたればダビデの邑にこれを葬れりその子アハズこれに代りて王となる
