2 Chronicles 27

1 Jotham [is] a son of twenty-five years in his reigning, and he has reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem, and the name of his mother [is] Jerushah daughter of Zadok.

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 does that which is right in the eyes of YHWH, according to all that his father Uzziah did; only, he has not come into the temple of YHWH; and again the people are doing corruptly.

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 has built the Upper Gate of the house of YHWH, and in the wall of Ophel he has built abundantly;

約坦建立耶和華殿的上門，在俄斐勒城上多有建造，

4 and he has built cities in the hill-country of Judah, and he has built palaces and towers in the forests.

又在猶大山地建造城邑，在樹林中建築營寨和高樓。

5 And he has fought with the king of the sons of Ammon, and prevails over them, and the sons of Ammon give to him in that year one hundred talents of silver, and ten thousand cors of wheat, and ten thousand of barley; the sons of Ammon have returned this to him both in the second year and in the third.

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 And Jotham strengthens himself, for he has prepared his ways before his God YHWH.

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 matters of Jotham, and all his battles, and his ways, behold, they are written on the scroll of the kings of Israel and Judah.

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 He was a son of twenty-five years in his reigning, and he has reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem;

他登基的時候年二十五歲，在耶路撒冷作王十六年。

9 and Jotham lies with his fathers, and they bury him in the City of David, and his son Ahaz reigns 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。
