Ii Paralipomenon 27

1 viginti quinque annorum erat Ioatham cum regnare coepisset et sedecim annis regnavit in Hierusalem nomen matris eius Hierusa 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 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 that which was right in the eyes of the LORD, according to all that his father Uzziah had done: however he did not enter into the LORD's temple. The people still did corruptly.

3 ipse aedificavit portam domus Domini Excelsam et in muro Ophel multa construxit

He built the Upper Gate of the house of the LORD, and he carried out considerable work on the wall of Ophel.

4 urbes quoque aedificavit in montibus Iuda et in saltibus castella et turres

Moreover he built cities in the hill country of Judah, and in the forests he built 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 milia choros tritici ac totidem choros hordei haec ei praebuerunt filii Ammon in anno secundo et tertio

He fought also with the king of the people of Ammon, and prevailed against them. The people of Ammon gave him the same year one hundred talents of silver, and ten thousand measures of wheat, and ten thousand of barley. The people of Ammon gave that much to him in the second year also, and in the third.

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

So Jotham became mighty, because he ordered his ways before the LORD his God.

7 reliqua autem sermonum Ioatham et omnes pugnae eius et opera scripta sunt in libro regum Israhel et Iuda

Now the rest of the acts of Jotham, and all his wars, and his ways, look, they are written in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah.

8 viginti quinque annorum erat cum regnare coepisset et sedecim annis regnavit in Hierusalem

He was five and twenty years old when he began to reign, and reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem.

9 dormivitque Ioatham cum patribus suis et sepelierunt eum in civitate David et regnavit Achaz filius eius pro eo

Jotham slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the City of David: and Ahaz his son reigned in his place.
