Ii Paralipomenon 27

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

twenty-five years old, was Jotham when he began to reign, and, sixteen years, reigned he in Jerusalem, —and, the name of his mother, 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.

And he did that which was right in the eyes of Yahweh, according to all that Uzziah his father had done, only he entered not into the temple of Yahweh, —though still were the people acting corruptly.

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

He, built the upper gate of the house of Yahweh, -and, on the wall of Ophel, built he extensively.

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

Cities also, built he, in the hill country of Judah, —and, in the thick woods, built he fortresses 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.

He, also made war against the king of the sons of Ammon, and prevailed against them, and the sons of Ammon gave him, during that year, a hundred talents of silver, and ten thousand measures of wheat, and, of barley, ten thousand, —this, did the sons of Ammon render him, both in the second year, and the third.

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

So Jotham strengthened himself, —for he fixed his ways before Yahweh his God.

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

But, the rest of the story of Jotham, and all his wars, and his ways, lo! there 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.

Twenty-five years old, was he when he began to reign, —and, sixteen years, reigned he 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.
