2 Chronicles 27
1Joatham was twenty and five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem: and his mother's name was Jerusa, daughter of Sadoc.Υἱὸς εἴκοσι καὶ πέντε ἐτῶν Ἰωάθαμ ἐν τῷ βασιλεῦσαι αὐτὸν, καὶ ἑκκαίδεκα ἔτη ἐβασίλευσεν ἐν Ἱερουσαλὴμ, καὶ ὄνομα τῆς μητρὸς αὐτοῦ Ἱερουσὰ θυγάτηρ Σαδώκ.
2And he did that which was right in the sight of the Lord, according to all that his father Ozias did: but he went not into the temple of the Lord. And still the people corrupted themselves.Καὶ ἐποίησε τὸ εὐθὲς ἐνώπιον Κυρίου, κατὰ πάντα ἃ ἐποίησεν Ὀζίας ὁ πατὴρ αὐτοῦ, ἀλλʼ οὐκ εἰσῆλθεν εἰς τὸν ναὸν Κυρίου. Καὶ ἔτι ὁ λαὸς κατεφθείρετο.
3He built the high gate of the house of the Lord, and he built much in the wall of Opel.Αὐτὸς ᾠκοδόμησε τὴν πύλην οἴκου Κυρίου τὴν ὑψηλὴν, καὶ ἐν τείχει Ὀπέλ ᾠκοδόμησε πολλὰ,
4In the mountain of Juda, and in the woods, he built both dwelling-places and towers.ἐν ὄρει Ἰούδα, καὶ ἐν τοῖς δρυμοῖς καὶ οἰκήσεις καὶ πύργους.
5He fought against the king of the children of Ammon, and prevailed against him: and the children of Ammon gave him even annually one hundred talents of silver, and ten thousand measures of wheat, and ten thousand of barley. These the king of the children of Ammon brought to him annually in the first and second and third years.Αὐτὸς ἐμαχέσατο πρὸς βασιλέα υἱῶν Ἀμμὼν, καὶ κατίσχυσεν ἐπʼ αὐτόν· καὶ ἐδίδουν αὐτῷ οἱ υἱοὶ Ἀμμὼν καὶ κατʼ ἐνιαυτὸν ἑκατὸν τάλαντα ἀργυρίου, καὶ δέκα χιλιάδας κόρων πυροῦ, καὶ κριθῶν δέκα χιλιάδας· ταῦτα ἔφερεν αὐτῷ βασιλεὺς υἱῶν Ἀμμὼν κατʼ ἐνιαυτὸν ἐν τῷ πρώτῳ ἔτει καὶ ἐν τῷ δευτέρῳ καὶ τῷ τρίτῳ.
6Joatham grew strong, because he prepared his ways before the Lord his God.Κατίσχυσεν Ιωάθαμ, ὅτι ἡτοίμασεν τὰς ὁδοὺς αὐτοῦ ἐναντίον Κυρίου Θεοῦ αὐτοῦ.
7-8And the rest of the acts of Joatham, and his war, and his deeds, behold, they are written in the book of the kings of Juda and Israel.Καὶ οἱ λοιποὶ λόγοι Ἰωάθαμ καὶ ὁ πόλεμος καὶ αἱ πράξεις αὐτοῦ, ἰδοὺ γεγραμμέναι ἐπὶ βιβλίῳ βασιλέων Ἰούδα καὶ Ἰσραήλ.
9And Joatham slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David: and Achaz his son reigned in his stead.Καὶ ἐκοιμήθη Ἰωάθαμ μετὰ τῶν πατέρων αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐτάφη ἐν πόλει Δαυὶδ, καὶ ἐβασίλευσεν Ἄχαζ υἱὸς αὐτοῦ ἀντʼ αὐτοῦ.
