2 Chroniques 27

1 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.

Jotham was twenty-five years old when he became king; and he was ruling in Jerusalem for sixteen years; and his mother's name was Jerushah, the daughter of Zadok.

2 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.

He did what was right in the eyes of the Lord, as his father Uzziah had done; but he did not go into the Temple of the Lord. And the people still went on in their evil ways.

3 Ce fut lui qui bâtit la porte du temple la plus élevée, et il ajouta beaucoup de constructions au mur d'Ophel.

He put up the higher doorway of the house of the Lord, and did much building on the wall of the Ophel.

4 Dans la montagne de Juda et dans les bois, il éleva des maisons et des tours.

In addition, he made towns in the hill-country of Judah, and strong buildings and towers in the woodlands.

5 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.

He went to war with the king of the children of Ammon and overcame them. That year, the children of Ammon gave him a hundred talents of silver, and ten thousand measures of grain and ten thousand measures of barley. And the children of Ammon gave him the same amount the second year and the third.

6 Joatham avait été vainqueur, parce qu'il avait marché dans les voies du Seigneur son Dieu.

So Jotham became strong, because in all his ways he made the Lord his guide.

7 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.

Now the rest of the acts of Jotham, and all his wars and his ways, are recorded in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah.

8 Et Joatham s'endormit avec ses pères, et on l'ensevelit en la ville de David, et son fils Achaz régna à sa place.

He was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he was ruling in Jerusalem for sixteen years.

9 Et Joatham s'endormit avec ses pères, et on l'ensevelit en la ville de David, et son fils Achaz régna à sa place.

And Jotham went to rest with his fathers, and they put his body into the earth in the town of David; and Ahaz his son became king in his place.
