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.

viginti quinque annorum erat Ioatham cum regnare coepisset et sedecim annis regnavit in Hierusalem nomen matris eius Hierusa 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 quae 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 aedificavit 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 aedificavit 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 milia choros tritici ac totidem choros hordei haec ei praebuerunt 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 pugnae eius et opera scripta sunt in libro regum Israhel et Iuda

8 He was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem sixteen years.

viginti quinque annorum erat cum regnare coepisset et sedecim annis regnavit in Hierusalem

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
