2 Chronicles 27
1 Jotham was twenty-five when he became king, and he reigned in for Jerusalem sixteen years. His mother's name was Jerushah, daughter of Zadok.
Viginti quinque annorum erat Joatham cum regnare cœpisset, et sedecim annis regnavit in Jerusalem: nomen matris ejus Jerusa filia Sadoc.
2 He did what was right in the Lord's sight as his father Uzziah had done, and he did not enter the Lord's Temple as his father had. But the people still acted corruptly.
Fecitque quod rectum erat coram Domino, juxta 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 Lord's Temple, and did extensive building work on the wall at Ophel.
Ipse ædificavit portam domus Domini excelsam, et in muro Ophel multa construxit.
4 He built towns in the hill country of Judah, and fortresses and towers in the mountains and forests.
Urbes quoque ædificavit in montibus Juda, et in saltibus castella et turres.
5 Jotham fought with the king of the Ammonites and defeated them. The Ammonites gave him every year for three years one hundred talents of silver, and ten thousand cors of wheat and ten thousand of barley.
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 Jotham grew powerful because he made sure what he did followed the ways of the Lord his God.
Corroboratusque est Joatham, eo quod direxisset vias suas coram Domino Deo suo.
7 The rest of what Jotham did, his wars and other events, were written in the Book of the Kings of Israel and Judah.
Reliqua autem sermonum Joatham, et omnes pugnæ ejus et opera, scripta sunt in libro regum Israël et Juda.
8 He was twenty-five when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem for sixteen years.
Viginti quinque annorum erat cum regnare cœpisset, et sedecim annis regnavit in Jerusalem.
9 Jotham died and was buried in the City of David. His son Ahaz took over as king.
Dormivitque Joatham cum patribus suis, et sepelierunt eum in civitate David: et regnavit Achaz filius ejus pro eo.
