II Chronicles 27

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

Jotham was twenty and five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem. His mother's name also was Jerushah, the daughter of Zadok.

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 in the sight of the LORD, according to all that his father Uzziah did: howbeit he entered not into the temple of the LORD. And the people did yet corruptly.

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.

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 Judah, and in the forests he built castles and towers.

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.

He fought also with the king of the Ammonites, and prevailed against them. And the children of Ammon gave him the same year an hundred talents of silver, and ten thousand measures of wheat, and ten thousand of barley. So much did the children of Ammon pay unto him, both the second year, and the third.

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

So Jotham became mighty, because he prepared his ways before the LORD his God.

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 Jotham, and all his wars, and his ways, lo, they are written in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah.

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 reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem.

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

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