2 Chronicles 27

1 Jotham was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem sixteen years. His mother’s name was Jerushah daughter of Zadok.

1 约坦二十五岁登基，在耶路撒冷执政十六年。他母亲叫耶路莎，是撒督的女儿。

2 And he did what was right in the eyes of the LORD, just as his father Uzziah had done. In addition, he did not enter the temple of the LORD. But the people still behaved corruptly.

2 约坦事事效法他父亲乌西雅，做耶和华视为正的事，只是没有进耶和华的殿。民众仍继续败坏。

3 Jotham rebuilt the Upper Gate of the house of the LORD, and he worked extensively on the wall at the hill of Ophel.

3 约坦建造耶和华殿的上门，大力修建俄斐勒的城墙。

4 He also built cities in the hill country of Judah and fortresses and towers in the forests.

4 他还在犹大山区建造城邑，在树林中建造营寨和瞭望塔。

5 Jotham waged war against the king of the Ammonites and defeated them, and that year they gave him a hundred talents of silver, ten thousand cors of wheat, and ten thousand cors of barley. They paid him the same in the second and third years.

5 他与亚扪人的王交战，打败了他们。在以后的三年中，亚扪人每年进贡六万八千两银子、小麦和大麦各二百二十万升。

6 So Jotham grew powerful because he ordered his ways before the LORD his God.

6 约坦日渐强盛，因为他坚守他的上帝耶和华的道。

7 As for the rest of the acts of Jotham, along with all his wars and his ways, they are indeed written in the Book of the Kings of Israel and Judah.

7 约坦其他的事及一切战绩和功业，都记在《以色列和犹大列王史》上。

8 He was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem sixteen years.

8 他二十五岁登基，在耶路撒冷执政十六年。

9 And Jotham rested with his fathers and was buried in the City of David. And his son Ahaz reigned in his place.

9 约坦与祖先同眠后，葬在大卫城。他儿子亚哈斯继位。
