2 Chronicles 27
1 Jotham was twenty-five years old when he had begun to reign, and he reigned for sixteen years in Jerusalem. The name of his mother was Jerusha, the daughter of Zadok.
Jonatham avait vingt-cinq ans quand il commença à régner, et il régna seize ans à Jérusalem; le nom de sa mère était Jérusa, fille de Sadoc.
2 And he did what was right before the Lord, in accord with all that his father, Uzziah, had done, except that he did not enter into the temple of the Lord, and still the people were transgressing.
Et il fit ce qui était droit devant le Seigneur, selon tout ce qu’avait fait Ozias, son père, excepté qu’il n’entra point dans le temple du Seigneur; mais le peuple péchait encore.
3 He improved the high gate of the house of the Lord. And he built many things upon the wall of Ophel.
Ce fut lui qui bâtit la grande porte de la maison du Seigneur, et sur le mur d’Ophel il fit beaucoup de constructions.
4 Also, he built cities in the mountains of Judah, and fortresses and towers in the forests.
Il bâtit aussi des villes sur les montagnes de Juda, et, dans les bois, des châteaux et des tours.
5 He fought against the king of the sons of Ammon, and he defeated them. And at that time, the sons of Ammon gave to him one hundred talents of silver, and ten thousand cor of wheat, and the same number of cor of barley. These things the sons of Ammon offered to him in the second and third year.
Ce fut lui qui combattit contre le roi des enfants d’Ammon, et il les vainquit; et les enfants d’Ammon lui donnèrent en ce temps-là cent talents d’argent, dix mille cors de froment et autant d’orge: c’est là ce que lui donnèrent les enfants d’Ammon en l’année seconde et troisième.
6 And Jotham was strengthened, because he had directed his way before the Lord his God.
Et Joatham s’affermit, parce qu’il avait dirigé ses voies devant le Seigneur son Dieu.
7 Now the rest of the words of Jotham, and all his battles and works, have been written in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah.
Mais si le reste des actions de Joatham, tous ses combats, et ses œuvres sont écrits dans le Livre des rois d’Israël et de Juda.
8 He was twenty-five years old when he had begun to reign, and he reigned for sixteen years in Jerusalem.
Il avait vingt-cinq ans, lorsqu’il commença à régner, et il régna seize ans dans Jérusalem.
9 And Jotham slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the City of David. And his son, Ahaz, reigned in his place.
Et Joatham dormit avec ses pères, et on l’ensevelit dans la cité de David, et Achaz, son fils, régna en sa place.
