2 Chronicles 27

1 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.

Jotham avea venticinque anni quando cominciò a regnare, e regnò sedici anni a Gerusalemme. Sua madre si chiamava Jerusha, figliuola di Tsadok.

2 And he did that which was right in the eyes of Jehovah, according to all that his father Uzziah had done. However he did not enter into the temple of Jehovah. And the people still did corruptly.

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.

3 He built the upper gate of the house of Jehovah, and on the wall of Ophel he built much.

Egli costruì la porta superiore della casa dell’Eterno, e fece molti lavori sulle mura di Ofel.

4 Moreover he built cities in the hill-country of Judah, and in the forests he built castles and towers.

Costruì parimente delle città nella contrada montuosa di Giuda, e dei castelli e delle torri nelle foreste.

5 Also he fought with the king of the sons of Ammon, and prevailed against them. And the sons of Ammon gave him the same year a hundred talents of silver, and ten thousand measures of wheat, and ten thousand of barley. So much did the sons of Ammon render to him, in the second year also, and in the third.

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.

6 So Jotham became mighty, because he ordered his ways before Jehovah his God.

Così Jotham divenne potente, perché camminò con costanza nel cospetto dell’Eterno, del suo Dio.

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

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.

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

Avea venticinque anni quando cominciò a regnare, e regnò sedici anni a Gerusalemme.

9 And Jotham slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city of David. And Ahaz his son reigned in his stead.

Jotham s’addormentò coi suoi padri, e fu sepolto nella città di Davide. Ed Achaz, suo figliuolo, regnò in luogo suo.
