< 2 Chronicles 27 >
1 Jotham was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem sixteen years. His mother’s name was Jerushah daughter of Zadok.
Vigintiquinque annorum erat Ioatham cum regnare cœpisset, et sedecim annis regnavit in Ierusalem: nomen matris eius Ierusa filia Sadoc.
2 And he did what was right in the eyes of the LORD, just as his father Uzziah had done. In addition, he did not enter the temple of the LORD. But the people still behaved corruptly.
Fecitque quod rectum erat coram Domino iuxta omnia quæ fecerat Ozias pater suus, excepto quod non est ingressus templum Domini, et adhuc populus delinquebat.
3 Jotham rebuilt the Upper Gate of the house of the LORD, and he worked extensively on the wall at the hill of Ophel.
Ipse ædificavit portam domus Domini excelsam, et in muro Ophel multa construxit.
4 He also built cities in the hill country of Judah and fortresses and towers in the forests.
Urbes quoque ædificavit in montibus Iuda, et in saltibus castella, et turres.
5 Jotham waged war against the king of the Ammonites and defeated them, and that year they gave him a hundred talents of silver, ten thousand cors of wheat, and ten thousand cors of barley. They paid him the same in the second and third years.
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: hæc ei præbuerunt filii Ammon in anno secundo et tertio.
6 So Jotham grew powerful because he ordered his ways before the LORD his God.
Corroboratusque est Ioatham eo quod direxisset vias suas coram Domino Deo suo.
7 As for the rest of the acts of Jotham, along with all his wars and his ways, they are indeed written in the Book of the Kings of Israel and Judah.
Reliqua autem sermonum Ioatham, et omnes pugnæ eius, et opera, scripta sunt in Libro regum Israel et Iuda.
8 He was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem sixteen years.
Vigintiquinque annorum erat cum regnare cœpisset, et sedecim annis regnavit in Ierusalem.
9 And Jotham rested with his fathers and was buried in the City of David. And his son Ahaz reigned in his place.
Dormivitque Ioatham cum patribus suis, et sepelierunt eum in Civitate David: et regnavit Achaz filius eius pro eo.
