歴代誌Ⅱ 27
Japanese Living Bible
ユダの王ヨタム
27 ヨタムは二十五歳で王となり、十六年間、エルサレムで治めました。母はエルシャといい、ツァドクの娘でした。 2 彼は、おおむね良い模範を残した父ウジヤの信仰にならいましたが、神殿の聖所に入るようなことはしませんでした。にもかかわらず、民はますます堕落していきました。
3 ヨタム王は神殿の上の門を建て、また、神殿が建っていた丘の上の城壁を再建し、拡張しました。 4 ユダの山地にも町々を建て、森林地帯には要塞とやぐらを築きました。
5 アモン人と戦って勝った彼は、それからの三年間、彼らに百タラントの銀、小麦一万コル(二百三十万リットル)、大麦一万コルを貢ぎ物として納めさせました。 6 ヨタムは彼の神、主の道を踏みはずさないよう注意したので、勢力を増し加えました。
7 ヨタム王のその他の記録、彼の戦いや行いについては、『イスラエルとユダ諸王の年代記』に記されています。 8 彼は二十五歳で王となり、十六年間エルサレムで治めたのち、 9 死んでエルサレムに葬られ、その子アハズが新しく王となりました。
2 Chronicles 27
New International Version
Jotham King of Judah(A)
27 Jotham(B) was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem sixteen years. His mother’s name was Jerusha daughter of Zadok. 2 He did what was right in the eyes of the Lord, just as his father Uzziah had done, but unlike him he did not enter the temple of the Lord. The people, however, continued their corrupt practices. 3 Jotham rebuilt the Upper Gate of the temple of the Lord and did extensive work on the wall at the hill of Ophel.(C) 4 He built towns in the hill country of Judah and forts and towers in the wooded areas.
5 Jotham waged war against the king of the Ammonites(D) and conquered them. That year the Ammonites paid him a hundred talents[a] of silver, ten thousand cors[b] of wheat and ten thousand cors[c] of barley. The Ammonites brought him the same amount also in the second and third years.
6 Jotham grew powerful(E) because he walked steadfastly before the Lord his God.
7 The other events in Jotham’s reign, including all his wars and the other things he did, are written in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah. 8 He was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem sixteen years. 9 Jotham rested with his ancestors and was buried in the City of David. And Ahaz his son succeeded him as king.

New King James Version
Jotham Reigns in Judah(A)
27 Jotham (B)was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was [a]Jerushah the daughter of Zadok. 2 And he did what was right in the sight of the Lord, according to all that his father Uzziah had done (although he did not enter the temple of the Lord). But still (C)the people acted corruptly.
3 He built the Upper Gate of the house of the Lord, and he built extensively on the wall of (D)Ophel. 4 Moreover he built cities in the mountains of Judah, and in the forests he built fortresses and towers. 5 He also fought with the king of the (E)Ammonites and defeated them. And the people of Ammon gave him in that year one hundred talents of silver, ten thousand kors of wheat, and ten thousand of barley. The people of Ammon paid this to him in the second and third years also. 6 So Jotham became mighty, (F)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, indeed they are written in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah. 8 He was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem. 9 (G)So Jotham [b]rested with his fathers, and they buried him in the City of David. Then (H)Ahaz his son reigned in his place.
