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 began to reign; and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem; and his mother's name was Jerushah, 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.

And he did what was right in the sight of Jehovah, according to all that his father Uzziah had done; only he entered not into the temple of Jehovah. And the people still acted corruptly.

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

It was he who built the upper gate of the house of Jehovah, and on the wall of Ophel he built much.

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

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

And he fought against the king of the children of Ammon, and overcame them. And the children of Ammon gave him the same year a hundred talents of silver, and ten thousand measures of wheat, and ten thousand of barley. This the children of Ammon brought again to him also in the second year, and in the third.

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

And Jotham became strong, for he prepared his ways before Jehovah his God.

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

And 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 coepisset, et sedecim annis regnavit in Ierusalem.

He was twenty-five years old when he began to reign; and he 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.
