< Вторая книга Паралипоменон 27 >
1 Сын двадесяти и пяти лет бяше Иоафам, егда царствовати нача, и шестьнадесять лет царствова во Иерусалиме. Имя же матере его Иеруса, дщи Садокова.
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 И сотвори правое пред Господем по всем, яже сотвори Озиа отец его, обаче не вниде в церковь Господню, и еще людие согрешаху.
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 Той созда врата дому Господня высокая, и на стене Офли созда многа:
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 и грады созда на горах Иудиных, и в дубравех дворы и столпы.
Moreover he built cities in the mountain of Judah, and in the forests he built castles and towers.
5 И той ополчися противу царя сынов Аммоних и одоле его: и даяху ему сынове Аммони на всякое лето по сту талант сребра и десять тысящ кор (мер) пшеницы и десять тысящ ячменя: сия ему приношаше царь сынов Аммоних на лето, в первое лето и второе и третие.
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 И укрепися Иоафам, яко уготова пути своя пред Господем Богом своим.
So Jotham became strong; because he directed his ways before the Lord his God.
7 Прочая же словеса Иоафамля, и брань, и деяния его, се, писана в книзе царей Иудиных и Израилевых.
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 Сын двадесяти и пяти лет бяше, егда царствовати нача, и шестьнадесять лет царствова во Иерусалиме.
Five and twenty years old was he when he became king, and sixteen years did he reign in Jerusalem.
9 Успе же Иоафам со отцы своими и погребен бысть во граде Давидове. И воцарися Ахаз сын его вместо его.
And Jotham slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city of David: and Achaz his son became king in his stead.
