< Chronicles II 27 >
1 Joatham [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.
Jotham te gen laj venn-senkan lè l te devni wa a, e li te renye sèzan Jérusalem. Non manman li te Jeruscha, fis a Tsadok la.
2 And 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.
Li te fè sa ki dwat nan zye SENYÈ a, selon tout sa ke papa Ozias te konn fè. Men li pa t antre nan tanp SENYÈ a. E pèp la te kontinye aji konwonpi.
3 He built the high gate of the house of the Lord, and he built much in the wall of Opel.
Li te bati pòtay pi wo lakay SENYÈ a, e li te bati anpil menm sou miray Ophel la.
4 In the mountain of Juda, and in the woods, [he built] both dwelling-places and towers.
Anplis, li te bati vil nan peyi kolin a Juda yo, e li te bati fò avèk fòterès sou ti kolin ki te bwaze yo.
5 He fought against the king of the children of Ammon, and prevailed against him: and the children of Ammon gave him even annually a 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.
Li te goumen osi avèk wa Amonit yo, e li te genyen yo jiskaske Amonit yo te ba li nan menm ane sa a, san talan an ajan, di-mil barik ble ak di-mil barik lòj. Amonit yo te peye li menm fòs sa a nan dezyèm ak twazyèm ane a.
6 Joatham grew strong, because he prepared his ways before the Lord his God.
Konsa, Jotham te vin trè pwisan akoz li te fè afè li an lòd devan SENYÈ a, Bondye li a.
7 And 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.
Alò, tout lòt zèv a Jotham yo, menm tout gè li yo avèk zèv li yo, gade byen, yo ekri nan Liv A Wa Israël Avèk Juda Yo.
Li te gen venn-senkan lè l te vin wa e li te renye sèzan Jérusalem.
9 And Joatham slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David: and Achaz his son reigned in his stead.
Konsa, Jotham te dòmi avèk papa zansèt li yo, e yo te antere li lavil David. Achaz, fis li a, te devni wa nan plas li.
