2 Cronache 27
1 Jotham avea venticinque anni quando cominciò a regnare, e regnò sedici anni a Gerusalemme. Sua madre si chiamava Jerusha, figliuola di Tsadok.
Joatham was five and twenty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem: the name of his mother was Jerusa the daughter of Sadoc.
2 Egli fece ciò ch’è giusto agli occhi dell’Eterno, interamente come avea fatto Uzzia suo padre; soltanto non entrò nel tempio dell’Eterno, e il popolo continuava a corrompersi.
And he did that which was right before the Lord, according to all that Ozias his father had done, only that he entered not into the temple of the Lord, and the people still transgressed.
3 Egli costruì la porta superiore della casa dell’Eterno, e fece molti lavori sulle mura di Ofel.
He built the high gate of the house of the Lord, and on the wall of Ophel he built much.
4 Costruì parimente delle città nella contrada montuosa di Giuda, e dei castelli e delle torri nelle foreste.
Moreover he built cities in the mountains of Juda, and castles and towers in the forests.
5 E mosse guerra al re de’ figliuoli di Ammon, e vinse gli Ammoniti. I figliuoli di Ammon gli diedero quell’anno cento talenti d’argento, diecimila cori di grano e diecimila d’orzo; e altrettanto gli pagarono il secondo e il terzo anno.
Ho fought against the king of the children of Ammon, and overcame them, and the children of Ammon gave him at that time a hundred talents of silver, and ten thousand measures of wheat, and as many measures of barley: so much did the children of Ammon give him in the second and third year.
6 Così Jotham divenne potente, perché camminò con costanza nel cospetto dell’Eterno, del suo Dio.
And Joatham was strengthened, because he had his way directed before the Lord his God.
7 Il rimanente delle azioni di Jotham, tutte le sue guerre e le sue imprese si trovano scritte nel libro dei re d’Israele e di Giuda.
Now the rest of the acts of Joatham, and all his wars, and his works, are written in the book of the kings of Israel and Juda.
8 Avea venticinque anni quando cominciò a regnare, e regnò sedici anni a Gerusalemme.
He was five and twenty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem.
9 Jotham s’addormentò coi suoi padri, e fu sepolto nella città di Davide. Ed Achaz, suo figliuolo, regnò in luogo suo.
And Joatham slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city of David: and Achaz his son reigned in his stead.
