Ii Paralipomenon 27

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

Jotham was twenty-five years old when he became king; and he was ruling in Jerusalem for sixteen years; and his mother's name was Jerushah, the daughter of Zadok.

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

He did what was right in the eyes of the Lord, as his father Uzziah had done; but he did not go into the Temple of the Lord. And the people still went on in their evil ways.

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

He put up the higher doorway of the house of the Lord, and did much building on the wall of the Ophel.

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

In addition, he made towns in the hill-country of Judah, and strong buildings and towers in the woodlands.

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: haec ei praebuerunt filii Ammon in anno secundo et tertio.

He went to war with the king of the children of Ammon and overcame them. That year, the children of Ammon gave him a hundred talents of silver, and ten thousand measures of grain and ten thousand measures of barley. And the children of Ammon gave him the same amount the second year and the third.

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

So Jotham became strong, because in all his ways he made the Lord his guide.

7 Reliqua autem sermonum Ioatham, et omnes pugnae 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, are recorded in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah.

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

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

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

And Jotham went to rest with his fathers, and they put his body into the earth in the town of David; and Ahaz his son became king in his place.
