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.

Vigintiquinque annorum erat Ioatham cum regnare coepisset, et sedecim annis regnavit in Ierusalem: nomen matris eius Ierusa filia Sadoc.

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.

Fecitque quod rectum erat coram Domino iuxta omnia quae fecerat Ozias pater suus, excepto quod non est ingressus templum Domini, et adhuc populus delinquebat.

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

Ipse aedificavit portam domus Domini excelsam, et in muro Ophel multa construxit.

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

Urbes quoque aedificavit in montibus Iuda, et in saltibus castella, et turres.

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.

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: haec ei praebuerunt filii Ammon in anno secundo et tertio.

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

Corroboratusque est Ioatham eo quod direxisset vias suas coram Domino Deo suo.

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.

Reliqua autem sermonum Ioatham, et omnes pugnae eius, et opera, scripta sunt in Libro regum Israel et Iuda.

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

Vigintiquinque annorum erat cum regnare coepisset, et sedecim annis regnavit in Ierusalem.

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

Dormivitque Ioatham cum patribus suis, et sepelierunt eum in Civitate David: et regnavit Achaz filius eius pro eo.
