2 Chroniques 27
1 Jotham était âgé de vingt-cinq ans à son avènement et il régna seize ans à Jérusalem. Le nom de sa mère était Yeroucha, fille de Çadok.
Jotham was twenty-five years old when he had begun to reign, and he reigned for sixteen years in Jerusalem. The name of his mother was Jerusha, the daughter of Zadok.
2 Il fit ce qui est droit aux yeux du Seigneur, agissant en tout comme avait agi Ouzzia, son père. Toutefois, il ne fréquenta pas les sanctuaires de l’Eternel, et le peuple persévéra dans ses crimes.
And he did what was right before the Lord, in accord with all that his father, Uzziah, had done, except that he did not enter into the temple of the Lord, and still the people were transgressing.
3 Ce fut lui qui bâtit la porte supérieure de la maison de l’Eternel, et il travailla beaucoup à l’édification du mur de l’Ophel.
He improved the high gate of the house of the Lord. And he built many things upon the wall of Ophel.
4 Il bâtit aussi des villes sur les montagnes de Juda, et sur les collines boisées il bâtit des forteresses et des tours.
Also, he built cities in the mountains of Judah, and fortresses and towers in the forests.
5 Il fit aussi la guerre au roi des Ammonites et triompha d’eux; les Ammonites lui remirent cette année-là cent kikkar d’argent, dix mille kôr de froment et dix mille kôr d’orge, et ils lui en remirent autant la deuxième et la troisième année.
He fought against the king of the sons of Ammon, and he defeated them. And at that time, the sons of Ammon gave to him one hundred talents of silver, and ten thousand cor of wheat, and the same number of cor of barley. These things the sons of Ammon offered to him in the second and third year.
6 Jotham devint puissant, car il se conduisait bien devant l’Eternel, son Dieu.
And Jotham was strengthened, because he had directed his way before the Lord his God.
7 Pour le surplus de l’histoire de Jotham, toutes ses guerres et ses actions, tout est consigné dans le livre des Rois d’Israël et de Juda.

9 Jotham s’endormit avec ses aïeux et on l’ensevelit dans la Cité de David. Achaz, son fils, lui succéda sur le trône.
And Jotham slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the City of David. And his son, Ahaz, reigned in his place.
