2 Chronicles 27

1 A son of twenty and five years [is] Jotham in his reigning, and sixteen years he hath reigned 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 doth that which is right in the eyes of Jehovah, according to all that Uzziah his father did; only, he hath not come in unto the temple of Jehovah; and again are the people 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 hath built the upper gate of the house of Jehovah, and in the wall of Ophel he hath 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 cities he hath built in the hill-country of Judah, and in the forests he hath built palaces and towers.

又在猶大山地建造城邑，在樹林中建築營寨和高樓。

5 And he hath fought with the king of the sons of Ammon, and prevaileth over them, and the sons of Ammon give to him in that year a hundred talents of silver, and ten thousand cors of wheat, and of barley ten thousand; this have the sons of Ammon returned 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 doth strengthen himself, for he hath prepared his ways before Jehovah 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 matters of Jotham, and all his battles, and his ways, lo, they are written on the book 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 A son of twenty and five years was he in his reigning, and sixteen years he hath reigned 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 lieth with his fathers, and they bury him in the city of David, and reign doth Ahaz his son 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。
