2 Istwa 27
1 Jotham te gen laj venn-senkan lè l te devni wa a, e li te renye sèzan Jérusalem. Non manman li te Jeruscha, fis a Tsadok la.
Jotham was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem sixteen years. His mother’s name was Jerushah daughter of Zadok.
2 Li te fè sa ki dwat nan zye SENYÈ a, selon tout sa ke papa Ozias te konn fè. Men li pa t antre nan tanp SENYÈ a. E pèp la te kontinye aji konwonpi.
And he did what was right in the eyes of the LORD, just as his father Uzziah had done. In addition, he did not enter the temple of the LORD. But the people still behaved corruptly.
3 Li te bati pòtay pi wo lakay SENYÈ a, e li te bati anpil menm sou miray Ophel la.
Jotham rebuilt the Upper Gate of the house of the LORD, and he worked extensively on the wall at the hill of Ophel.
4 Anplis, li te bati vil nan peyi kolin a Juda yo, e li te bati fò avèk fòterès sou ti kolin ki te bwaze yo.
He also built cities in the hill country of Judah and fortresses and towers in the forests.
5 Li te goumen osi avèk wa Amonit yo, e li te genyen yo jiskaske Amonit yo te ba li nan menm ane sa a, san talan an ajan, di-mil barik ble ak di-mil barik lòj. Amonit yo te peye li menm fòs sa a nan dezyèm ak twazyèm ane a.
Jotham waged war against the king of the Ammonites and defeated them, and that year they gave him a hundred talents of silver, ten thousand cors of wheat, and ten thousand cors of barley. They paid him the same in the second and third years.
6 Konsa, Jotham te vin trè pwisan akoz li te fè afè li an lòd devan SENYÈ a, Bondye li a.
So Jotham grew powerful because he ordered his ways before the LORD his God.
7 Alò, tout lòt zèv a Jotham yo, menm tout gè li yo avèk zèv li yo, gade byen, yo ekri nan Liv A Wa Israël Avèk Juda Yo.
As for the rest of the acts of Jotham, along with all his wars and his ways, they are indeed written in the Book of the Kings of Israel and Judah.
8 Li te gen venn-senkan lè l te vin wa e li te renye sèzan Jérusalem.
He was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem sixteen years.
9 Konsa, Jotham te dòmi avèk papa zansèt li yo, e yo te antere li lavil David. Achaz, fis li a, te devni wa nan plas li.
And Jotham rested with his fathers and was buried in the City of David. And his son Ahaz reigned in his place.
