2 Chroniques 27

1 Jotham était âgé de vingt-cinq ans quand il commença à régner, et il régna seize ans à Jérusalem. Sa mère avait nom Jérusa, et elle était fille de Tsadoc.

Jotham was twenty-five years old when he became king; and he was ruling in Jerusalem for sixteen years; and his mother's name was Jerushah, the daughter of Zadok.

2 Il fit ce qui est droit devant l'Eternel, comme Hozias son père avait fait, mais il n'entra pas [comme lui] au Temple de l'Eternel; néanmoins le peuple se corrompait encore.

He did what was right in the eyes of the Lord, as his father Uzziah had done; but he did not go into the Temple of the Lord. And the people still went on in their evil ways.

3 Il bâtit la plus haute porte de la maison de l'Eternel; il bâtit beaucoup en la muraille d'Hophel.

He put up the higher doorway of the house of the Lord, and did much building on the wall of the Ophel.

4 Il bâtit aussi des villes sur les montagnes de Juda, et des châteaux, et des tours dans les forêts.

In addition, he made towns in the hill-country of Judah, and strong buildings and towers in the woodlands.

5 Et il combattit contre le Roi des enfants de Hammon, et fut le plus fort; et cette année-là les enfants de Hammon lui donnèrent cent talents d'argent, et dix mille Cores de blé, et dix mille d'orge. les enfants de Hammon lui donnèrent ces choses-là, même la seconde et la troisième année.

He went to war with the king of the children of Ammon and overcame them. That year, the children of Ammon gave him a hundred talents of silver, and ten thousand measures of grain and ten thousand measures of barley. And the children of Ammon gave him the same amount the second year and the third.

6 Jotham devint donc fort puissant, parce qu'il avait dirigé ses voies devant l'Eternel son Dieu.

So Jotham became strong, because in all his ways he made the Lord his guide.

7 Le reste des faits de Jotham, et tous ses combats et sa conduite, voilà, toutes ces choses sont écrites au Livre des Rois d'Israël et de Juda.

Now the rest of the acts of Jotham, and all his wars and his ways, are recorded in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah.

8 Il était âgé de vingt-cinq ans quand il commença à régner, et il régna seize ans à Jérusalem.

He was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he was ruling in Jerusalem for sixteen years.

9 Puis Jotham s'endormit avec ses pères, et on l'ensevelit en la Cité de David; et Achaz son fils régna en sa place.

And Jotham went to rest with his fathers, and they put his body into the earth in the town of David; and Ahaz his son became king in his place.
