Deuxième livre des Chroniques 27

JERUSALEM	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 Yotam avait 25 ans à son avènement et il régna seize ans à Jérusalem; sa mère s'appelaitYerusha, fille de Sadoq.	1 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 Il fit ce qui est agréable à Yahvé, imitant en tout la conduite de son père Ozias. Seulement iln'entra pas dans le sanctuaire de Yahvé. Mais le peuple continua à se perdre.	2 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 C'est lui qui construisit la Porte Supérieure du Temple de Yahvé, et fit de nombreux travauxau mur de l'Ophel.	3 He built the high gate of the house of the Lord, and on the wall of Ophel he built much.
4 Il construisit des villes dans la montagne de Juda ainsi que des citadelles et des tours dans lesterres labourables.	4 Moreover he built cities in the mountains of Juda, and castles and towers in the forests.
5 Il combattit le roi des Ammonites. Il l'emporta sur eux et les Ammonites lui livrèrent cetteannée-là cent talents d'argent, 10.000 muids de froment et 10.000 d'orge. C'est cela que les Ammonites durent luirendre; il en fut de même la seconde et la troisième année.	5 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 Yotam devint puissant, car il se conduisait avec fermeté en présence de Yahvé son Dieu.	6 And Joatham was strengthened, because he had his way directed before the Lord his God.
7 Le reste de l'histoire de Yotam, toutes ses guerres et sa politique, est écrit dans le livre desrois d'Israël et de Juda.	7 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 Il avait 25 ans à son avènement et il régna seize ans à Jérusalem.	8 He was five and twenty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem.
9 Puis Yotam se coucha avec ses pères, on l'enterra dans la Cité de David, et son fils Achazdevint roi à sa place.	9 And Joatham slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city of David: and Achaz his son reigned in his stead.
