Ii Paralipomenon 27

1 Viginti quinque annorum erat Joatham cum regnare cœpisset, et sedecim annis regnavit in Jerusalem: nomen matris ejus Jerusa filia Sadoc.

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

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

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

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

He also built cities in the hill country of Judah and fortresses and towers in the 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 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 Corroboratusque est Joatham, eo quod direxisset vias suas coram Domino Deo suo.

So Jotham grew powerful because he ordered his ways before the LORD his God.

7 Reliqua autem sermonum Joatham, et omnes pugnæ ejus et opera, scripta sunt in libro regum Israël et Juda.

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 Viginti quinque annorum erat cum regnare cœpisset, et sedecim annis regnavit in Jerusalem.

He was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem sixteen years.

9 Dormivitque Joatham cum patribus suis, et sepelierunt eum in civitate David: et regnavit Achaz filius ejus pro eo.

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