Liber II Paralipomenon, 27

1. Viginti quinque annorum erat Ioatham, cum regnare coepisset, et sedecim annis regnavit in Ierusalem. Nomen matris eius Ierusa filia Sadoc.

1. Jotham was twenty-five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Jeru'shah 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.

2. And he did what was right in the eyes of the LORD according to all that his father Uzzi'ah had done -- only he did not invade the temple of the LORD. But the people still followed corrupt practices.

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

3. He built the upper gate of the house of the LORD, and did much building on the wall of Ophel.

4. Urbes quoque aedificavit in montibus Iudae et in saltibus castella et turres.

4. Moreover he built cities in the hill country of Judah, and forts and towers on the wooded hills.

5. Ipse pugnavit contra regem filiorum Ammon et vicit eos, dederuntque ei filii Ammon in anno illo centum talenta argenti et decem milia choros tritici ac totidem choros hordei; haec ei praebuerunt filii Ammon etiam in anno secundo et tertio.

5. He fought with the king of the Ammonites and prevailed against them. And the Ammonites gave him that year a hundred talents of silver, and ten thousand cors of wheat and ten thousand of barley. The Ammonites paid him the same amount in the second and the third years.

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

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

7. Reliqua autem gestorum Ioatham et omnes pugnae eius et viae scriptae sunt in libro regum Israel et Iudae.

7. Now 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. Viginti quinque annorum erat, cum regnare coepisset, et sedecim annis regnavit in Ierusalem.

8. 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.

9. And Jotham slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city of David; and Ahaz his son reigned in his stead.
