2 Chronicles 27
1 Twenty and five years old was Jotham when he became king, and sixteen years did he reign in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Yerushah, the daughter of Zadok.
Joatham avait vingt-cinq ans lorsqu'il monta sur le trône, et il régna seize ans à Jérusalem; sa mère s'appelait Jerusa, fille de Sadoc.
2 And he did what is right in the eyes of the Lord, in accordance with all that his father 'Uzziyahu had done: only he entered not into the temple of the Lord. But the people acted still corruptly.
Et il fit ce qui est droit devant le Seigneur, comme avait fait Ozias, son père; mais il n'entra point dans le temple du Seigneur, et le peuple, encore une fois, se corrompit.
3 He it was that built the upper gate of the house of the Lord, and on the wall of the hill-fort he built much.
Ce fut lui qui bâtit la porte du temple la plus élevée, et il ajouta beaucoup de constructions au mur d'Ophel.
4 Moreover he built cities in the mountain of Judah, and in the forests he built castles and towers.
Dans la montagne de Juda et dans les bois, il éleva des maisons et des tours.
5 And he likewise fought with the king of the sons of 'Ammon, and prevailed against them. And the children of 'Ammon gave him in that same year one hundred talents of silver, and ten thousand kors of wheat, and ten thousand of barley. So much did the children of 'Ammon pay unto him again, both in the second year, and in the third.
Il combattit le roi des fils d'Ammon, et le vainquit; les fils d'Ammon alors lui donnèrent par année cent talents d'argent, dix mille mesures de froment et dix mille mesures d'orge. Il reçut ce tribut la première année, et la seconde, et la troisième.
6 So Jotham became strong; because he directed his ways before the Lord his God.
Joatham avait été vainqueur, parce qu'il avait marché dans les voies du Seigneur son Dieu.
7 And the rest of the acts of Jotham, and all his wars, and his ways, lo, they are written in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah.
Le reste des actes de Joatham, et sa guerre, et ses faits et gestes sont écrits au livre des Rois de Juda et d'Israël.
8 Five and twenty years old was he when he became king, and sixteen years did he reign in Jerusalem.
Et Joatham s'endormit avec ses pères, et on l'ensevelit en la ville de David, et son fils Achaz régna à sa place.
9 And Jotham slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city of David: and Achaz his son became king in his stead.
Et Joatham s'endormit avec ses pères, et on l'ensevelit en la ville de David, et son fils Achaz régna à sa place.
