歷代志下 27
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Traditional)
猶大王約坦
27 約坦二十五歲登基，在耶路撒冷執政十六年。他母親叫耶路莎，是撒督的女兒。 2 約坦效法他父親烏西雅，做耶和華視為正的事，只是沒有進耶和華的殿。民眾仍繼續敗壞。 3 約坦建造耶和華殿的上門，大力修建俄斐勒的城牆。 4 他還在猶大山區建造城邑，在樹林中建造營寨和瞭望塔。 5 他與亞捫人的王交戰，打敗了他們。在以後的三年中，亞捫人每年進貢三點四噸銀子、小麥和大麥各二百二十萬公升。 6 約坦日漸強盛，因為他堅守他的上帝耶和華的道。 7 約坦其他的事蹟、所有戰事和作為都記在以色列和猶大的列王史上。 8 他二十五歲登基，在耶路撒冷執政十六年。 9 約坦與祖先同眠後，葬在大衛城。他兒子亞哈斯繼位。
2 Chronicles 27
New Century Version
Jotham King of Judah
27 Jotham was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he ruled sixteen years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Jerusha daughter of Zadok. 2 Jotham did what the Lord said was right, just as his father Uzziah had done. But Jotham did not enter the Temple of the Lord to burn incense as his father had. But the people continued doing wrong. 3 Jotham rebuilt the Upper Gate of the Temple of the Lord, and he added greatly to the wall at Ophel. 4 He also built towns in the hill country of Judah, as well as walled cities and towers in the forests.
5 Jotham also fought the king of the Ammonites and defeated them. So each year for three years they gave Jotham about seventy-five hundred pounds of silver, about sixty-two thousand bushels of wheat, and about sixty-two thousand bushels of barley. 6 Jotham became powerful, because he always obeyed the Lord his God.
7 The other things Jotham did while he was king and all his wars are written in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah. 8 Jotham was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he ruled sixteen years in Jerusalem. 9 Jotham died and was buried in Jerusalem, the city of David. Then Jotham’s son Ahaz became king in his place.
