2 Kings 24
1 During his days, Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, ascended, and Jehoiakim became his servant for three years. And again he rebelled against him.
Dans les jours de Joakim, Nabuchodonosor, roi de Babylone, monta contre Juda, et Joakim lui fut assujetti durant trois ans; et ensuite il se révolta contre lui.
2 And the Lord sent to him the robbers of the Chaldeans, and the robbers of Syria, and the robbers of Moab, and the robbers of the sons of Ammon. And he sent them into Judah, so that they might destroy it, in accord with the word of the Lord, which he had spoken through his servants, the prophets.
Et le Seigneur envoya les voleurs des Chaldéens, les voleurs de Syrie, les voleurs de Moab et les voleurs des enfants d’Ammon, et il les envoya contre Juda pour l’exterminer, selon la parole que le Seigneur avait dite par ses serviteurs, les prophètes.
3 Then this occurred, by the word of the Lord against Judah, that he took him away from before himself because of all the sins of Manasseh which he did,
Or ceci arriva par la parole du Seigneur contre Juda, pour l’ôter de devant lui, à cause de tous les péchés que Manassé fit,
4 and because of the innocent blood which he shed, and because he filled Jerusalem with the slaughter of the innocent. And for this reason, the Lord was not willing to be appeased.
Et à cause du sang de l’innocent qu’il versa; car il remplit Jérusalem de sang innocent. C’est pour ce motif que le Seigneur ne voulut point se rendre propice.
5 But the rest of the words of Jehoiakim, and all that he did, have these not been written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Judah? And Jehoiakim slept with his fathers.
Mais le reste des actions de Joakim, et tout ce qu’il a fait, n’est-ce pas écrit dans le Livre des actions des jours des rois de Juda? Et Joakim dormit avec ses pères;
6 And Jehoiachin, his son, reigned in his place.
Et Joachin, son fils, régna en sa place.
7 And the king of Egypt no longer continued to go out from his own land. For the king of Babylon had taken all that had belonged to the king of Egypt, from the river of Egypt as far as the river Euphrates.
Et le roi d’Egypte ne recommença plus à sortir de son pays; car le roi de Babylone avait emporté, depuis le torrent d’Egypte jusqu’au fleuve d’Euphrate, tout ce qui était au roi d’Egypte.
8 Jehoiachin was eighteen years old when he had begun to reign, and he reigned for three months in Jerusalem. The name of his mother was Nehushta, the daughter of Elnathan, from Jerusalem.
Joachin avait dix-huit ans lorsqu’il commença à régner, et il régna trois mois à Jérusalem: le nom de sa mère était Nohesta, fille d’Elnathan de Jérusalem.
9 And he did evil before the Lord, in accord with all that his father had done.
Et il fit le mal devant le Seigneur, selon tout ce qu’avait fait son père.
10 At that time, the servants of Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, ascended against Jerusalem. And the city was encircled with fortifications.
En ce temps-là les serviteurs de Nabuchodonosor, roi de Babylone, montèrent à Jérusalem, et la ville fut entourée de fortifications.
11 And Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, went to the city, with his servants, so that he might fight against it.
Nabuchodonosor, roi de Babylone, vint aussi avec ses serviteurs pour l’attaquer.
12 And Jehoiachin, the king of Judah, went out to the king of Babylon, he, and his mother, and his servants, and his leaders, and his eunuchs. And the king of Babylon received him, in the eighth year of his reign.
Et Joachin, roi de Juda, sortit vers le roi de Babylone, lui, sa mère, ses serviteurs, ses princes et ses eunuques; et le roi de Babylone le reçut la huitième année de son règne.
13 And he took from there all the treasures of the house of the Lord, and the treasures of the house of the king. And he cut up all the gold vessels which Solomon, the king of Israel, had made for the temple of the Lord, in accord with the word of the Lord.
Et il emporta de Jérusalem tous les trésors de la maison du Seigneur, et les trésors de la maison du roi; et il brisa tous les vases d’or que Salomon, roi d’Israël, avait faits dans le temple du Seigneur, selon la parole du Seigneur.
14 And he carried away all of Jerusalem, and all the leaders, and all the strong men of the army, ten thousand, into captivity, with every artisan and craftsman. And no one was left behind, except the poor among the people of the land.
Et il transféra toute la ville de Jérusalem, tous les princes et tous les forts de l’armée, au nombre de dix mille, en captivité, et aussi tous les ouvriers et tous les lapidaires, et rien ne fut laissé, excepté les pauvres du peuple du pays.
15 Also, he carried away Jehoiachin into Babylon, and the mother of the king, and the wives of the king, and his eunuchs. And he led into captivity the judges of the land, from Jerusalem to Babylon,
Il transféra aussi à Babylone Joachin, la mère du roi, les femmes du roi, ses eunuques; et les juges du pays, il les emmena en captivité de Jérusalem à Babylone.
16 and all the robust men, seven thousand, and the artisans and craftsman, one thousand: all who were strong men and fit for war. And the king of Babylon led them away as captives, into Babylon.
Il transféra encore tous les hommes vigoureux, au nombre de sept mille, les ouvriers et les lapidaires au nombre de mille, tous les hommes courageux et guerriers; et le roi de Babylone les emmena captifs à Babylone.
17 And he appointed Mattaniah, his uncle, in his place. And he imposed the name Zedekiah upon him.
Il établit, en la place de Joachin, Matthanias son oncle, et il lui imposa le nom de Sédécias.
18 Zedekiah held twenty-one years of life when he had begun to reign. And he reigned for eleven years in Jerusalem. The name of his mother was Hamutal, the daughter of Jeremiah, from Libnah.
Sédécias avait vingt-un ans d’âge lorsqu’il commença à régner, et il régna onze ans à Jérusalem: le nom de sa mère était Amital, fille de Jérémie, de Lobna.
19 And he did evil before the Lord, in accord with all that Jehoiakim had done.
Et il fit le mal devant le Seigneur, selon tout ce qu’avait fait Joakim.
20 For the Lord was angry against Jerusalem and against Judah, until he cast them away from his face. And so Zedekiah withdrew from the king of Babylon.
Car le Seigneur s’irritait contre Jérusalem et contre Juda, jusqu’à ce qu’il les rejetât de devant sa face; et Sédécias se détacha du roi de Babylone.
