歴代誌Ⅱ 27

1 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

Jotham was twenty-five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Jerushah the daughter of Zadok.

2 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

And he did that which was right in the eyes of Jehovah, according to all that his father Uzziah had done. However he did not enter into the temple of Jehovah. And the people still did corruptly.

3 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

He built the upper gate of the house of Jehovah, and on the wall of Ophel he built much.

4 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

Moreover he built cities in the hill-country of Judah, and in the forests he built castles and towers.

5 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

Also he fought with the king of the sons of Ammon, and prevailed against them. And the sons of Ammon gave him the same year a hundred talents of silver, and ten thousand measures of wheat, and ten thousand of barley. So much did the sons of Ammon render to him, in the second year also, and in the third.

6 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

So Jotham became mighty, because he ordered his ways before Jehovah his God.

7 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

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

8 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

He was twenty-five years old when he began to reign, and reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem.

9 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

And Jotham slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city of David. And Ahaz his son reigned in his stead.
