Ii Paralipomenon 27

1 Vigintiquinque annorum erat Ioatham cum regnare cœpisset, et sedecim annis regnavit in Ierusalem: nomen matris eius Ierusa filia Sadoc.

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 Fecitque quod rectum erat coram Domino iuxta omnia quæ fecerat Ozias pater suus, excepto quod non est ingressus templum Domini, et adhuc populus delinquebat.

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 Ipse ædificavit portam domus Domini excelsam, et in muro Ophel multa construxit.

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

4 Urbes quoque ædificavit in montibus Iuda, et in saltibus castella, et turres.

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

5 Ipse pugnavit contra regem filiorum Ammon, et vicit eos, dederuntque ei filii Ammon in tempore illo centum talenta argenti, et decem millia coros tritici, ac totidem coros hordei: hæc ei præbuerunt filii Ammon in anno secundo et tertio.

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 Corroboratusque est Ioatham eo quod direxisset vias suas coram Domino Deo suo.

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

7 Reliqua autem sermonum Ioatham, et omnes pugnæ eius, et opera, scripta sunt in Libro regum Israel et Iuda.

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 Vigintiquinque annorum erat cum regnare cœpisset, et sedecim annis regnavit in Ierusalem.

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

9 Dormivitque Ioatham cum patribus suis, et sepelierunt eum in Civitate David: et regnavit Achaz filius eius pro eo.

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