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 when he became king, and he reigned in for Jerusalem sixteen years. His mother's name was Jerushah, 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.
He did what was right in the Lord's sight as his father Uzziah had done, and he did not enter the Lord's Temple as his father had. But the people still acted corruptly.
3 Ipse ædificavit portam domus Domini excelsam, et in muro Ophel multa construxit.
Jotham rebuilt the Upper Gate of the Lord's Temple, and did extensive building work on the wall at Ophel.
4 Urbes quoque ædificavit in montibus Iuda, et in saltibus castella, et turres.
He built towns in the hill country of Judah, and fortresses and towers in the mountains and forests.
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.
Jotham fought with the king of the Ammonites and defeated them. The Ammonites gave him every year for three years one hundred talents of silver, and ten thousand cors of wheat and ten thousand of barley.
6 Corroboratusque est Ioatham eo quod direxisset vias suas coram Domino Deo suo.
Jotham grew powerful because he made sure what he did followed the ways of the Lord his God.
7 Reliqua autem sermonum Ioatham, et omnes pugnæ eius, et opera, scripta sunt in Libro regum Israel et Iuda.
The rest of what Jotham did, his wars and other events, were 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 when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem for sixteen years.
9 Dormivitque Ioatham cum patribus suis, et sepelierunt eum in Civitate David: et regnavit Achaz filius eius pro eo.
Jotham died and was buried in the City of David. His son Ahaz took over as king.
