2 Chronicles 27

1 Twenty and five years old was Jotham when he became king, and sixteen years did he reign in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Yerushah, the daughter of Zadok.

ヨタムは二十五歳の時位に即きヱルサレムにて十六年の間世を治めたり其母はザドクの女にして名をヱルシヤといふ

2 And he did what is right in the eyes of the Lord, in accordance with all that his father 'Uzziyahu had done: only he entered not into the temple of the Lord. But the people acted still corruptly.

ヨタムはその父ウジヤの凡て爲たるごとくヱホバの善と視たまふ事をなせり但しヱホバの殿には入ざりき民は尚惡き事を爲り

3 He it was that built the upper gate of the house of the Lord, and on the wall of the hill-fort he built much.

彼ヱホバの家の上の門を建なほしオペルの石垣を多く築き増し

4 Moreover he built cities in the mountain of Judah, and in the forests he built castles and towers.

ユダの山地に數箇の邑を建て林の間に城および戌楼を築けり

5 And he likewise fought with the king of the sons of 'Ammon, and prevailed against them. And the children of 'Ammon gave him in that same year one hundred talents of silver, and ten thousand kors of wheat, and ten thousand of barley. So much did the children of 'Ammon pay unto him again, both in the second year, and in the third.

彼アンモニ人の王と戰ひこれに勝り其年アンモンの子孫銀百タラント小麥一萬石大麥一萬石を彼におくれりアンモンの子孫は第二年にも第三年にも是のごとく彼に貢をいる

6 So Jotham became strong; because he directed his ways before the Lord his God.

ヨタムその神ヱホバの前においてその行を堅うしたるに因て權能ある者となれり

7 And the rest of the acts of Jotham, and all his wars, and his ways, lo, they are written in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah.

ヨタムのその餘の行爲その一切の戰闘およびその行などはイスラエルとユダの列王の書に記さる

8 Five and twenty years old was he when he became king, and sixteen years did he reign in Jerusalem.

彼は二十五歳の時位に即きヱルサレムにて十六年の間世を治めたり

9 And Jotham slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city of David: and Achaz his son became king in his stead.

ヨタムその先祖等とともに寝りたればダビデの邑にこれを葬れりその子アハズこれに代りて王となる
