2 Chronicles 27
1 Jotham was twenty-five years old when he became king; and he was ruling in Jerusalem for sixteen years; and his mother's name was Jerushah, the daughter of Zadok.
Jotham avait vingt-cinq ans lorsqu'il devint roi, et il régna seize ans à Jérusalem. Le nom de sa mère était Jeruscha, fille de Tsadok.
2 He did what was right in the eyes of the Lord, as his father Uzziah had done; but he did not go into the Temple of the Lord. And the people still went on in their evil ways.
Il fit ce qui est droit aux yeux de l'Éternel, selon tout ce qu'avait fait son père Ozias. Cependant, il n'entra pas dans le temple de Yahvé. Le peuple agissait encore de manière corrompue.
3 He put up the higher doorway of the house of the Lord, and did much building on the wall of the Ophel.
Il construisit la porte supérieure de la maison de l'Éternel, et il bâtit beaucoup sur la muraille d'Ophel.
4 In addition, he made towns in the hill-country of Judah, and strong buildings and towers in the woodlands.
Il bâtit aussi des villes dans la montagne de Juda, et dans les forêts, des forteresses et des tours.
5 He went to war with the king of the children of Ammon and overcame them. That year, the children of Ammon gave him a hundred talents of silver, and ten thousand measures of grain and ten thousand measures of barley. And the children of Ammon gave him the same amount the second year and the third.
Il combattit aussi le roi des enfants d'Ammon, et l'emporta sur eux. Les fils d'Ammon lui donnèrent la même année cent talents d'argent, dix mille cors de blé et dix mille cors d'orge. Les fils d'Ammon lui donnèrent encore autant la deuxième année, et la troisième année.
6 So Jotham became strong, because in all his ways he made the Lord his guide.
Et Jotham devint puissant, parce qu'il commandait ses voies devant Yahvé, son Dieu.
7 Now the rest of the acts of Jotham, and all his wars and his ways, are recorded in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah.
Et le reste des actions de Jotham, toutes ses guerres et ses voies, voici, elles sont écrites dans le livre des rois d'Israël et de Juda.
8 He was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he was ruling in Jerusalem for sixteen years.
Il avait vingt-cinq ans lorsqu'il devint roi, et il régna seize ans à Jérusalem.
9 And Jotham went to rest with his fathers, and they put his body into the earth in the town of David; and Ahaz his son became king in his place.
Jotham se coucha avec ses pères, et on l'enterra dans la ville de David; et Achaz, son fils, régna à sa place.
