1Jotham was twenty-five years old when he began to reign; and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem: and his mother’s name was Jerushah the daughter of Zadok.
1约坦作犹大王（王下15:32-38）
2He did that which was right in the eyes of Yahweh, according to all that his father Uzziah had done: however he didn’t enter into Yahweh’s temple. The people still did corruptly.
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。
3He built the upper gate of the house of Yahweh, and on the wall of Ophel he built much.
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。
4Moreover he built cities in the hill country of Judah, and in the forests he built castles and towers.
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。
5He fought also with the king of the children of Ammon, and prevailed against them. The children of Ammon gave him the same year one hundred talents of silver, and ten thousand measures of wheat, and ten thousand of barley. The children of Ammon gave that much to him in the second year also, and in the third.
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。
6So Jotham became mighty, because he ordered his ways before Yahweh his God.
6约坦在耶和华他的 神面前坚守正道，所以日渐强盛。
7Now the rest of the acts of Jotham, and all his wars, and his ways, behold, they are written in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah.
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。
8He was five and twenty years old when he began to reign, and reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem.
8他登基的时候是二十五岁；他在耶路撒冷作王共十六年。
9Jotham slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city of David: and Ahaz his son reigned in his place.
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。
