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.
Twenty and five years old was Jotham when he became king, and sixteen years did he reign in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Yerushah, the 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 is right in the eyes of the Lord, in accordance with all that his father 'Uzziyahu had done: only he entered not into the temple of the Lord. But the people acted still corruptly.
3 Li te bati pòtay pi wo lakay SENYÈ a, e li te bati anpil menm sou miray Ophel la.
He it was that built the upper gate of the house of the Lord, and on the wall of the hill-fort he built much.
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.
Moreover he built cities in the mountain of Judah, and in the forests he built castles and towers.
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.
And he likewise fought with the king of the sons of 'Ammon, and prevailed against them. And the children of 'Ammon gave him in that same year one hundred talents of silver, and ten thousand kors of wheat, and ten thousand of barley. So much did the children of 'Ammon pay unto him again, both in the second year, and in the third.
6 Konsa, Jotham te vin trè pwisan akoz li te fè afè li an lòd devan SENYÈ a, Bondye li a.
So Jotham became strong; because he directed 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.
And the rest of the acts of Jotham, and all his wars, and his ways, lo, they are 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.
Five and twenty years old was he when he became king, and sixteen years did he reign in Jerusalem.
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 slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city of David: and Achaz his son became king in his stead.
