2 Chronicles 27
1 Jotham was twenty-five years old when he had begun to reign, and he reigned for sixteen years in Jerusalem. The name of his mother was Jerusha, the daughter of Zadok.
Jotham avait vingt-cinq ans à son avènement et il régna seize ans à Jérusalem. Or le nom de sa mère était Jerusa, fille de Tsadoc.
2 And he did what was right before the Lord, in accord with all that his father, Uzziah, had done, except that he did not enter into the temple of the Lord, and still the people were transgressing.
Et il fit ce qui est bien aux yeux de l'Éternel, en tout à l'exemple de Hozias, son père, seulement il ne s'introduisit pas dans le Temple de l'Éternel; le peuple se corrompait encore.
3 He improved the high gate of the house of the Lord. And he built many things upon the wall of Ophel.
Et il construisit la porte supérieure du Temple de l'Éternel, et il fit beaucoup de travaux aux murs d'Ophel.
4 Also, he built cities in the mountains of Judah, and fortresses and towers in the forests.
Et il bâtit des villes dans la montagne de Juda, et dans les forêts il bâtit des châteaux et des tours.
5 He fought against the king of the sons of Ammon, and he defeated them. And at that time, the sons of Ammon gave to him one hundred talents of silver, and ten thousand cor of wheat, and the same number of cor of barley. These things the sons of Ammon offered to him in the second and third year.
Et il eut guerre avec le roi des Ammonites, et il les vainquit, et les Ammonites lui payèrent cette année-là cent talents d'argent et dix mille cors de froment et dix mille d'orge. C'est ce que lui payèrent les Ammonites aussi la seconde année et la troisième.
6 And Jotham was strengthened, because he had directed his way before the Lord his God.
Et Jotham devint puissant, parce qu'il réglait ses voies devant l'Éternel son Dieu.
7 Now the rest of the words of Jotham, and all his battles and works, have been written in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah.
Le reste des actes de Jotham et tous ses combats, et tous ses errements sont d'ailleurs consignés dans le livre des rois d'Israël et de Juda.
8 He was twenty-five years old when he had begun to reign, and he reigned for sixteen years in Jerusalem.
Il avait vingt-cinq ans à son avènement et il régna seize ans à Jérusalem.
9 And Jotham slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the City of David. And his son, Ahaz, reigned in his place.
Et Jotham reposa à côté de ses pères et reçut la sépulture dans la Cité de David. Et Achaz, son fils, devint roi en sa place.
