2 Chronicles 27
1 twenty-five years old, was Jotham when he began to reign, and, sixteen years, reigned he in Jerusalem, —and, the name of his mother, was 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 did that which was right in the eyes of Yahweh, according to all that Uzziah his father had done, only he entered not into the temple of Yahweh, —though still were the people acting 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, built the upper gate of the house of Yahweh, -and, on the wall of Ophel, built he extensively.
Joatham bâtit la porte supérieure de la maison de Yahweh, et fit beaucoup de constructions sur le mur d’Ophel.
4 Cities also, built he, in the hill country of Judah, —and, in the thick woods, built he fortresses and towers.
Il bâtit des villes dans la montagne de Juda, il bâtit des forts et des tours dans les bois.
5 He, also made war against the king of the sons of Ammon, and prevailed against them, and the sons of Ammon gave him, during that year, a hundred talents of silver, and ten thousand measures of wheat, and, of barley, ten thousand, —this, did the sons of Ammon render him, both in the second year, and 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 So Jotham strengthened himself, —for he fixed his ways before Yahweh his God.
Joatham augmenta sa puissance, parce qu’il avait affermi ses voies devant Yahweh, son Dieu.
7 But, the rest of the story of Jotham, and all his wars, and his ways, lo! there they are written in the book 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 Twenty-five years old, was he when he began to reign, —and, sixteen years, reigned he in Jerusalem.
Il avait vingt-cinq ans lorsqu’il devint roi, et il régna seize ans à Jérusalem.
9 And Jotham slept with his fathers, and they buried him, in the city of David, —and Ahaz his son reigned 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.
