2 Chronicles 27
1 Joatham was five and twenty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem: the name of his mother was Jerusa the daughter of Sadoc.
Jotham avait vingt-cinq ans lorsqu’il devint roi, et il régna seize ans à Jérusalem. Sa mère s’appelait Jeruscha, fille de Tsadok.
2 And he did that which was right before the Lord, according to all that Ozias his father had done, only that he entered not into the temple of the Lord, and the people still transgressed.
Il fit ce qui est droit aux yeux de l’Éternel, entièrement comme avait fait Ozias, son père. Seulement, il n’entra point dans le temple de l’Éternel. Toutefois, le peuple se corrompait encore.
3 He built the high gate of the house of the Lord, and on the wall of Ophel he built much.
Jotham bâtit la porte supérieure de la maison de l’Éternel, et il fit beaucoup de constructions sur les murs de la colline.
4 Moreover he built cities in the mountains of Juda, and castles and towers in the forests.
Il bâtit des villes dans la montagne de Juda, et des châteaux et des tours dans les bois.
5 Ho fought against the king of the children of Ammon, and overcame them, and the children of Ammon gave him at that time a hundred talents of silver, and ten thousand measures of wheat, and as many measures of barley: so much did the children of Ammon give him in the second and third year.
Il fut en guerre avec le roi des fils d’Ammon, et il l’emporta sur eux. Les fils d’Ammon lui donnèrent cette année-là cent talents d’argent, dix mille cors de froment, et dix mille d’orge; et ils lui en payèrent autant la seconde année et la troisième.
6 And Joatham was strengthened, because he had his way directed before the Lord his God.
Jotham devint puissant, parce qu’il affermit ses voies devant l’Éternel, son Dieu.
7 Now the rest of the acts of Joatham, and all his wars, and his works, are written in the book of the kings of Israel and Juda.
Le reste des actions de Jotham, toutes ses guerres, et tout ce qu’il a fait, cela est écrit dans le livre des rois d’Israël et de Juda.
8 He was five and twenty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem.
Il avait vingt-cinq ans lorsqu’il devint roi, et il régna seize ans à Jérusalem.
9 And Joatham slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city of David: and Achaz his son reigned in his stead.
Jotham se coucha avec ses pères, et on l’enterra dans la ville de David. Et Achaz, son fils, régna à sa place.
