2 Chronicles 27
1 Jotham was twenty-five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Jerushah the daughter of Zadok.
Jotam te gen vennsenkan lè li moute wa peyi Jida. Li gouvènen nan lavil Jerizalèm pandan sèzan. Manman l' te rele Jewoucha. Se te pitit fi Zadòk.
2 He did that which was right in Yahweh’s eyes, according to all that his father Uzziah had done. However he didn’t enter into Yahweh’s temple. The people still acted corruptly.
Jotam te fè sa ki dwat devan Seyè a, tankou Ozyas, papa l', te fè. Tansèlman, li pa t' janm mete pwent pye l' nan Tanp lan. Pèp la menm te toujou ap fè vye sèvis li yo.
3 He built the upper gate of Yahweh’s house, and he built much on the wall of Ophel.
Se Jotam ki te bati Pòtay Nò Tanp Seyè a. Li fè anpil travay nan miray lavil la nan zòn yo rele Ofèl la.
4 Moreover he built cities in the hill country of Judah, and in the forests he built fortresses and towers.
Li bati anpil lavil nan mòn peyi Jida a. Li bati gwo fò ak fò won nan tout rakbwa yo.
5 He also fought with the king of the children of Ammon, and prevailed against them. The children of Ammon gave him the same year one hundred talents of silver, ten thousand cors of wheat, and ten thousand cors of barley. The children of Ammon also gave that much to him in the second year, and in the third.
Li fè lagè ak wa peyi Amon an. Li bat li. Lanne sa a, moun peyi Amon yo ba li twamiltwasan (3.300) kilo ajan, senkantmil (50.000) barik ble ak senkantmil barik lòj. Pandan dezan apre sa, yo ba li menm kantite a chak lanne.
6 So Jotham became mighty, because he ordered his ways before Yahweh his God.
Jotam te vin gen anpil pouvwa, paske li te mache dwat devan Seyè a, Bondye li a.
7 Now the rest of the acts of Jotham, and all his wars and his ways, behold, they are written in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah.
Tout rès istwa Jotam lan, tout lagè li te fè, tou sa li te reyalize, nou jwenn sa ekri nan liv Istwa wa peyi Izrayèl ak wa peyi Jida yo.
8 He was twenty-five years old when he began to reign, and reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem.
Li te gen vennsenkan lè li moute wa nan peyi Jida. Li gouvènen nan lavil Jerizalèm pandan sèzan.
9 Jotham slept with his fathers, and they buried him in David’s city; and Ahaz his son reigned in his place.
Lè Jotam mouri, yo antere l' nan lavil David la. Se Akaz, pitit li, ki moute wa nan plas li.
