VULGATA	NEW JERUSALEM
1 Viginti quinque annorum erat Joatham cum regnare cœpisset, et sedecim annis regnavit in Jerusalem : nomen matris ejus Jerusa filia Sadoc.	1 Jotham was twenty-five years old when he came to the throne and he reigned for sixteen years inJerusalem. His mother's name was Jerushah daughter of Zadok.
2 Fecitque quod rectum erat coram Domino, juxta omnia quæ fecerat Ozias pater suus, excepto quod non est ingressus templum Domini : et adhuc populus delinquebat.	2 He did what Yahweh regards as right, just as his father Uzziah had done. Only he did not enterYahweh's sanctuary. But the people continued to do wrong.
3 Ipse ædificavit portam domus Domini excelsam, et in muro Ophel multa construxit.	3 It was he who built the Upper Gate of the Temple of Yahweh and carried out considerable work on thewal of the Ophel.
4 Urbes quoque ædificavit in montibus Juda, et in saltibus castella et turres.	4 He also built towns in the highlands of Judah and built forts and towers in the wooded areas.
5 Ipse pugnavit contra regem filiorum Ammon, et vicit eos, dederuntque ei filii Ammon in tempore illo centum talenta argenti, et decem millia coros tritici, ac totidem coros hordei : hæc ei præbuerunt filii Ammon in anno secundo et tertio.	5 He also went to war against the king of the Ammonites and defeated them; and the Ammonites had togive him a hundred talents of silver, ten thousand kor of wheat and ten thousand of barley that year. And theAmmonites paid him the same amount, the second and third years afterwards.
6 Corroboratusque est Joatham, eo quod direxisset vias suas coram Domino Deo suo.	6 Jotham became powerful because he kept an unswerving course before Yahweh his God.
7 Reliqua autem sermonum Joatham, et omnes pugnæ ejus et opera, scripta sunt in libro regum Israël et Juda.	7 The rest of the history of Jotham, al his wars and his policy, are recorded in the Book of the Kings ofIsrael and Judah.
8 Viginti quinque annorum erat cum regnare cœpisset, et sedecim annis regnavit in Jerusalem.	8 He was twenty-five years old when he came to the throne and he reigned for sixteen years inJerusalem.
9 Dormivitque Joatham cum patribus suis, et sepelierunt eum in civitate David : et regnavit Achaz filius ejus pro eo.	9 Then Jotham fel asleep with his ancestors, and was buried in the City of David; his son Ahazsucceeded him.
