2 Chroniques 27

1 Jotham avait vingt-cinq ans lorsqu’il devint roi, et il régna seize ans à Jérusalem. Sa mère s’appelait Jeruscha, fille de Tsadok.

Jotham was twenty-five years old when he began to reign; and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem: and his mother's name was Jerushah the daughter of Zadok.

2 Il fit ce qui est droit aux yeux de l’Éternel, entièrement comme avait fait Ozias, son père. Seulement, il n’entra point dans le temple de l’Éternel. Toutefois, le peuple se corrompait encore.

He did that which was right in the eyes of the LORD, according to all that his father Uzziah had done: however he did not enter into the LORD's temple. The people still did corruptly.

3 Jotham bâtit la porte supérieure de la maison de l’Éternel, et il fit beaucoup de constructions sur les murs de la colline.

He built the Upper Gate of the house of the LORD, and he carried out considerable work on the wall of Ophel.

4 Il bâtit des villes dans la montagne de Juda, et des châteaux et des tours dans les bois.

Moreover he built cities in the hill country of Judah, and in the forests he built fortresses and towers.

5 Il fut en guerre avec le 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 ils lui en payèrent autant la seconde année et la troisième.

He fought also with the king of the people of Ammon, and prevailed against them. The people of Ammon gave him the same year one hundred talents of silver, and ten thousand measures of wheat, and ten thousand of barley. The people of Ammon gave that much to him in the second year also, and in the third.

6 Jotham devint puissant, parce qu’il affermit ses voies devant l’Éternel, son Dieu.

So Jotham became mighty, because he ordered his ways before the LORD his God.

7 Le reste des actions de Jotham, toutes ses guerres, et tout ce qu’il a fait, cela est écrit dans le livre des rois d’Israël et de Juda.

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

8 Il avait vingt-cinq ans lorsqu’il devint roi, et il régna seize ans à Jérusalem.

He was five and twenty years old when he began to reign, and reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem.

9 Jotham se coucha avec ses pères, et on l’enterra dans la ville de David. Et Achaz, son fils, régna à sa place.

Jotham slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the City of David: and Ahaz his son reigned in his place.
