2 Kings 24
1 In his days Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came up, and Jehoiakim was his servant three years; then he turned and rebelled against him.
De son temps, Nabuchodonosor, roi de Babylone, se mit en campagne, et Joakim lui fut assujetti pendant trois ans; mais il se révolta de nouveau contre lui.
2 And Jehovah sent against him the bands of the Chaldeans, and the bands of the Syrians, and the bands of the Moabites, and the bands of the children of Ammon, and sent them against Judah to destroy it, according to the word of Jehovah, which he spoke through his servants the prophets.
Yahweh envoya contre Joakim des bandes de Chaldéens, des bandes de Syriens, des bandes de Moabites et des bandes d’Ammonites; il les envoya contre Juda pour le détruire, selon la parole de Yahweh qu’il avait prononcée par l’organe de ses serviteurs les prophètes.
3 Verily, at the commandment of Jehovah it came to pass against Judah, that they should be removed out of his sight, for the sins of Manasseh, according to all that he had done;
Ce fut uniquement sur l’ordre de Yahweh que cela arriva contre Juda, pour l’ôter de devant sa face, à cause de tous les péchés commis par Manassé,
4 and also [because of] the innocent blood that he had shed; for he had filled Jerusalem with innocent blood, and Jehovah would not pardon.
et à cause du sang innocent qu’avait répandu Manassé, au point de remplir Jérusalem de sang innocent. C’est pourquoi Yahweh ne voulait pas pardonner.
5 And the rest of the acts of Jehoiakim, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
Le reste des actes de Joakim, et tout ce qu’il a fait, cela n’est-il pas écrit dans le livre des Chroniques des rois de Juda?
6 And Jehoiakim slept with his fathers, and Jehoiachin his son reigned in his stead.
Joakim se coucha avec ses pères, et Joachin son fils, régna à sa place.
7 And the king of Egypt came not again any more out of his land, for the king of Babylon had taken all that belonged to the king of Egypt, from the torrent of Egypt to the river Euphrates.
Le roi d’Égypte ne sortit plus de son pays; car le roi de Babylone avait pris tout ce qui était au roi d’Égypte, depuis le torrent d’Égypte jusqu’au fleuve de l’Euphrate.
8 Jehoiachin was eighteen years old when he began to reign; and he reigned three months in Jerusalem; and his mother's name was Nehushta, daughter of Elnathan of Jerusalem.
Joachin avait dix-huit ans lorsqu’il devint roi, et il régna trois mois à Jérusalem. Sa mère s’appelait Nohesta, fille d’Elnathan, de Jérusalem.
9 And he did evil in the sight of Jehovah, according to all that his father had done.
Il fit ce qui est mal aux yeux de Yahweh, selon tout ce qu’avait fait son père.
10 At that time the servants of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came up against Jerusalem, and the city was besieged.
En ce temps-là, les serviteurs de Nabuchodonosor, roi de Babylone, montèrent contre Jérusalem, et la ville fut assiégée.
11 And Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came against the city, while his servants were besieging it.
Nabuchodonosor, roi de Babylone, vint devant la ville pendant que ses serviteurs l’assiégeaient.
12 And Jehoiachin king of Judah went out to the king of Babylon, he, and his mother, and his servants, and his princes, and his chamberlains; and the king of Babylon took him in the eighth year of his reign.
Alors Joachin, roi de Juda, sortit auprès du roi de Babylone, avec sa mère, ses serviteurs, ses chefs et ses eunuques, et le roi de Babylone le fit prisonnier la huitième année de son règne.
13 And he brought out thence all the treasures of the house of Jehovah, and the treasures of the king's house, and cut in pieces all the vessels of gold that Solomon king of Israel had made in the temple of Jehovah, as Jehovah had said.
Il emporta de là tous les trésors de la maison de Yahweh et les trésors de la maison du roi, et il brisa tous les ustensiles d’or que Salomon, roi d’Israël, avait faits dans le temple de Yahweh, comme Yahweh l’avait annoncé.
14 And he carried away all Jerusalem, and all the princes, and all the mighty men of valour, ten thousand captives, and all the craftsmen and smiths: none remained but the poorest sort of the people of the land.
Il emmena en captivité tout Jérusalem, tous les chefs et tous les hommes vaillants, — dix mille captifs, — avec tous les artisans et les forgerons; il ne resta que le peuple pauvre du pays.
15 And he carried away Jehoiachin to Babylon, and the king's mother, and the king's wives, and his chamberlains, and the mighty of the land, he led into captivity from Jerusalem to Babylon;
Il transporta Joachin à Babylone, et il emmena captifs de Jérusalem à Babylone la mère du roi, les femmes du roi et ses eunuques, et les grands du pays.
16 and all the men of valour, seven thousand, and the craftsmen and smiths a thousand, all strong men apt for war, and the king of Babylon brought them captive to Babylon.
De plus, tous les guerriers au nombre de sept mille, ainsi que les artisans et les forgerons au nombre de mille, tous hommes vaillants et propres à la guerre: le roi de Babylone les emmena captifs à Babylone.
17 And the king of Babylon made Mattaniah his uncle king in his stead, and changed his name to Zedekiah.
Et le roi de Babylone établit roi, à la place de Joachin, Mathanias, son oncle, dont il changea le nom en celui de Sédécias.
18 Zedekiah was twenty-one years old when he began to reign; and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem; and his mother's name was Hamutal, daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah.
Sédécias avait vingt et un ans lorsqu’il devint roi, et il régna onze ans à Jérusalem. Sa mère s’appelait Amital, fille de Jérémie, de Lobna.
19 And he did evil in the sight of Jehovah, according to all that Jehoiakim had done.
Il fit ce qui est mal aux yeux de Yahweh, imitant tout ce qu’avait fait Joakim.
20 For, because the anger of Jehovah was against Jerusalem and against Judah, until he had cast them out from his presence, Zedekiah rebelled against the king of Babylon.
Cela arriva à Jérusalem et en Juda, à cause de la colère de Yahweh, jusqu’à ce qu’il les rejette de devant sa face. Et Sédécias se révolta contre le roi de Babylone.
