历代志下 27
Chinese New Version (Simplified)
约坦作犹大王(A)
27 约坦登基的时候，是二十五岁；他在耶路撒冷作王共十六年；他的母亲名叫耶路沙，是撒督的女儿。 2 约坦行耶和华看为正的事，像他父亲乌西雅一切所行的，只是没有进入耶和华的殿；但人民还是行败坏的事。 3 约坦建造了耶和华殿的上门；在俄斐勒的城墙上，他也有很多建设。 4 他在犹大山地建造城市，又在树林中建造一些营寨和瞭望楼。 5 约坦和亚扪人的王交战，战胜了他们；那一年，亚扪人就献给他三千四百公斤银子，一千公吨小麦，一千公吨大麦；第二年和第三年，亚扪人也献给他这个数目。 6 约坦在耶和华他的 神面前坚守正道，所以日渐强盛。 7 约坦其余的事迹，他的一切战争和作为，都记在以色列和犹大列王记上。 8 他登基的时候是二十五岁；他在耶路撒冷作王共十六年。 9 约坦和他的列祖同睡，埋葬在大卫城里；他的儿子亚哈斯接续他作王。

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
Authorized (King James) Version
27 Jotham was twenty and five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name also was Jerushah, the daughter of Zadok. 2 And he did that which was right in the sight of the Lord, according to all that his father Uzziah did: howbeit he entered not into the temple of the Lord. And the people did yet corruptly. 3 He built the high gate of the house of the Lord, and on the wall of Ophel he built much. 4 Moreover he built cities in the mountains of Judah, and in the forests he built castles and towers.
5 He fought also with the king of the Ammonites, and prevailed against them. And the children of Ammon gave him the same year an hundred talents of silver, and ten thousand measures of wheat, and ten thousand of barley. So much did the children of Ammon pay unto him, both the second year, and the third. 6 So Jotham became mighty, because he prepared his ways before the Lord his God.
7 Now 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 He was five and twenty years old when he began to reign, and reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem.
9 And Jotham slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city of David: and Ahaz his son reigned in his stead.
2 Chronicles 27
Common English Bible
Jotham rules
27 Jotham was 25 years old when he became king, and he ruled for sixteen years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Jerushah; she was Zadok’s daughter. 2 Jotham did what was right in the Lord’s eyes, just as his father Uzziah had done. Unlike Uzziah, Jotham didn’t enter the Lord’s temple. But the people continued their crooked practices. 3 Jotham rebuilt the Upper Gate of the Lord’s temple and did extensive work on the wall of the elevated fortress.[a] 4 He built towns in Judah’s highlands and fortresses and towers in the wooded areas. 5 He fought against the king of the Ammonites and defeated the Ammonites. They paid him one hundred kikkars of silver, ten thousand kors[b] of wheat, and ten thousand kors of barley that year and for the next two years. 6 Jotham was securely established because he maintained a faithful life before the Lord his God. 7 The rest of Jotham’s deeds, including all his wars and accomplishments, are written in the official records of Israel’s and Judah’s kings. 8 He was 25 years old when he became king, and he ruled for sixteen years in Jerusalem. 9 Jotham lay down with his ancestors and was buried in David’s City. His son Ahaz succeeded him as king.
