2 Chronicles 1 Jotham was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned sixteen years in 约堂登极时年二十五岁，在耶路撒冷作王凡十六年；他的母亲名叫耶鲁沙，是匝克多的女儿。 2 He pleased the LORD just as his father Uzziah had done, though he did not enter the temple of the LORD; the people, however, continued to act sinfully. 约堂行了上主视为正义的事，完全像他父亲所作的一样，只是没有进入上主的圣所；但百姓仍然败坏。 3 He built the upper gate of the LORD'S house and had much construction done on the wall of Ophel. 他建筑了上主殿宇的上门，在敖斐耳城墙上，也作了许多工程， 4 Moreover, he built cities in the hill country of 在犹大山地建筑了一些城池，在丛林中也建了一些营寨和堡垒。 5 He fought with the king of the Ammonites and conquered them. That year the Ammonites paid him one hundred talents of silver, together with ten thousand kors of wheat and ten thousand of barley. They brought the same to him also in the second and in the third year. 约堂与阿孟子民的君王交战时，战胜了他们，因此阿孟子民那一年给他进贡：银子一百“塔冷通，”小麦一万“苛尔，”大麦一万“苛尔。”以后第二第三年，阿孟子民仍进了这些贡物。 6 Thus Jotham continued to grow strong because he lived resolutely in the presence of the LORD, his God. 约堂因为在上主他的天主前，时常履行正道，所以日渐强盛。 7 The rest of the acts of Jotham, his wars and his activities, can be found written in the book of the kings of 约堂其余的事迹，以及他的战绩和作为，都记载在以色列和犹大列王实录上。 8 He was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned sixteen years in 他即位时年二十五岁，在耶路撒冷作王十六年。 9 Jotham rested with his ancestors and was buried in the City of 约堂与祖先同眠，葬在达味城；他的儿子阿哈次继位为王。 |
