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 became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem sixteen years. His mother’s name was Jerushah 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 what was right in the eyes of the LORD, just as his father Uzziah had done. In addition, he did not enter the temple of the LORD. But the people still behaved 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

Jotham rebuilt the Upper Gate of the house of the LORD, and he worked extensively on the wall at the hill of Ophel.

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

He also built cities in the hill country of Judah and fortresses and towers in the forests.

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

Jotham waged war against the king of the Ammonites and defeated them, and that year they gave him a hundred talents of silver, ten thousand cors of wheat, and ten thousand cors of barley. They paid him the same in the second and third years.

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 grew powerful because he ordered his ways before the LORD 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

As for the rest of the acts of Jotham, along with all his wars and his ways, they are indeed 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 became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem sixteen years.

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 rested with his fathers and was buried in the City of David. And his son Ahaz reigned in his place.
