2 Chronicles 27
1 Jotham [is] a son of twenty-five years in his reigning, and he has reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem, and the name of his mother [is] Jerushah daughter of Zadok.
Joatham avait vingt-cinq ans lorsqu’il devint roi, et il régna seize ans à Jérusalem. Sa mère s’appelait Jérusa, fille de Sadoc.
2 And he does that which is right in the eyes of YHWH, according to all that his father Uzziah did; only, he has not come into the temple of YHWH; and again the people are doing corruptly.
Il fit ce qui est droit aux yeux de Yahweh, selon tout ce qu’avait fait Ozias, son père; seulement il n’entra pas dans le temple de Yahweh; mais le peuple se corrompait encore.
3 He has built the Upper Gate of the house of YHWH, and in the wall of Ophel he has built abundantly;
Joatham bâtit la porte supérieure de la maison de Yahweh, et fit beaucoup de constructions sur le mur d’Ophel.
4 and he has built cities in the hill-country of Judah, and he has built palaces and towers in the forests.
Il bâtit des villes dans la montagne de Juda, il bâtit des forts et des tours dans les bois.
5 And he has fought with the king of the sons of Ammon, and prevails over them, and the sons of Ammon give to him in that year one hundred talents of silver, and ten thousand cors of wheat, and ten thousand of barley; the sons of Ammon have returned this to him both in the second year and in the third.
Il fit la guerre au 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 les fils d’Ammon lui en apportèrent autant la seconde et la troisième année.
6 And Jotham strengthens himself, for he has prepared his ways before his God YHWH.
Joatham augmenta sa puissance, parce qu’il avait affermi ses voies devant Yahweh, son Dieu.
7 And the rest of the matters of Jotham, and all his battles, and his ways, behold, they are written on the scroll of the kings of Israel and Judah.
Le reste des actes de Joatham, toutes ses guerres et tout ce qu’il a fait, voici que cela est écrit dans le livre des rois d’Israël et de Juda.
8 He was a son of twenty-five years in his reigning, and he has reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem;
Il avait vingt-cinq ans lorsqu’il devint roi, et il régna seize ans à Jérusalem.
9 and Jotham lies with his fathers, and they bury him in the City of David, and his son Ahaz reigns in his stead.
Joatham se coucha avec ses pères, et on l’enterra dans la ville de David. Achaz, son fils, régna à sa place.
