2 Istwa 27
1 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.
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 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.
He did that which was right in the eyes of YHWH, according to all that his father Uzziah had done: however he did not enter into YHWH's temple. The people still did corruptly.
3 Se Jotam ki te bati Pòtay Nò Tanp Seyè a. Li fè anpil travay nan miray lavil la nan zòn yo rele Ofèl la.
He built the Upper Gate of the house of YHWH, and he carried out considerable work on the wall of Ophel.
4 Li bati anpil lavil nan mòn peyi Jida a. Li bati gwo fò ak fò won nan tout rakbwa yo.
Moreover he built cities in the hill country of Judah, and in the forests he built fortresses and towers.
5 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.
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 Jotam te vin gen anpil pouvwa, paske li te mache dwat devan Seyè a, Bondye li a.
So Jotham became mighty, because he ordered his ways before YHWH his God.
7 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.
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 Li te gen vennsenkan lè li moute wa nan peyi Jida. Li gouvènen nan lavil Jerizalèm pandan sèzan.
He was five and twenty years old when he began to reign, and reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem.
9 Lè Jotam mouri, yo antere l' nan lavil David la. Se Akaz, pitit li, ki moute wa nan plas li.
Jotham slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the City of David: and Ahaz his son reigned in his place.
