< Chronicles II 27 >

1 Joatham [was] twenty and five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem: and his mother's name [was] Jerusa, daughter of Sadoc.
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。
2 And he did that which was right in the sight of the Lord, according to all that his father Ozias did: but he went not into the temple of the Lord. And still the people corrupted themselves.
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。
3 He built the high gate of the house of the Lord, and he built much in the wall of Opel.
約坦建立耶和華殿的上門,在俄斐勒城上多有建造,
4 In the mountain of Juda, and in the woods, [he built] both dwelling-places and towers.
又在猶大山地建造城邑,在樹林中建築營寨和高樓。
5 He fought against the king of the children of Ammon, and prevailed against him: and the children of Ammon gave him even annually a hundred talents of silver, and ten thousand measures of wheat, and ten thousand of barley. These the king of the children of Ammon brought to him annually in the first and second and third years.
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。
6 Joatham grew strong, because he prepared his ways before the Lord his God.
約坦在耶和華-他上帝面前行正道,以致日漸強盛。
7 And the rest of the acts of Joatham, and his war, and his deeds, behold, [they are] written in the book of the kings of Juda and Israel.
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。
8
他登基的時候年二十五歲,在耶路撒冷作王十六年。
9 And Joatham slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David: and Achaz his son reigned in his stead.
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。
