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
1599 Geneva Bible
27 1 Jotham reigned, and overcometh the Ammonites. 8 His reign and death. 9 Ahaz his son reigneth in his stead.
1 Jotham (A)was five and twenty years old when he began to reign, and reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem, and his mother’s name was Jerushah the daughter of Zadok.
2 And he did uprightly in the sight of the Lord, according to all that his father Uzziah did, save that he entered not into the [a]Temple of the Lord, and the people did yet [b]corrupt their ways.
3 He built the high [c]gate of the house of the Lord, and he built very much on the wall of the castle.
4 Moreover he built cities in the mountains of Judah, and in the forests he built palaces and towers.
5 And he fought with the kings of the children of Ammon, and prevailed against them. And the children of Ammon gave him the same year an hundred talents of silver, and ten thousand [d]measures of wheat, and ten thousand of barley: this did the children of Ammon give him [e]both in the second year and the third.
6 So Jotham became mighty, [f]because he directed his way before the Lord his God.
7 Concerning 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.
