Ii Paralipomenon 27

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

Twenty and five years old was Jotham when he became king, and sixteen years did he reign in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Yerushah, 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.

And he did what is right in the eyes of the Lord, in accordance with all that his father 'Uzziyahu had done: only he entered not into the temple of the Lord. But the people acted still corruptly.

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

He it was that built the upper gate of the house of the Lord, and on the wall of the hill-fort he built much.

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

Moreover he built cities in the mountain 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 likewise fought with the king of the sons of 'Ammon, and prevailed against them. And the children of 'Ammon gave him in that same year one hundred talents of silver, and ten thousand kors of wheat, and ten thousand of barley. So much did the children of 'Ammon pay unto him again, both in the second year, and in the third.

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

So Jotham became strong; because he directed his ways before the Lord 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, lo, 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.

Five and twenty years old was he when he became king, and sixteen years did he reign 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 Achaz his son became king in his stead.
