2 Kings 24
1 In his days Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came up, and Jehoiakim became 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 the LORD sent against him bands of the Chaldeans, and bands of the Arameans, and bands of the Moabites, and bands of the children of Ammon, and sent them against Judah to destroy it, according to the word of the LORD, which He spoke by the hand of 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 Surely at the commandment of the LORD came this upon Judah, to remove them out of His sight, for the sins of Manasseh, according to all that he did;
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 for the innocent blood that he shed; for he filled Jerusalem with innocent blood; and the LORD 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 Now 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 So 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, from the Brook of Egypt unto the river Euphrates, all that pertained to the king of Egypt.
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 in Jerusalem three months; and his mother's name was Nehushta the 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 that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, 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 to 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 unto 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 the king of Judah went out to the king of Babylon, he, and his mother, and his servants, and his princes, and his officers; 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 carried out thence all the treasures of the house of the LORD, and the treasures of the king's house, and cut in pieces all the vessels of gold which Solomon king of Israel had made in the temple of the LORD, as the LORD 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, even ten thousand captives, and all the craftsmen and the smiths; none remained, save 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 officers, and the chief men of the land, carried he 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 might, even seven thousand, and the craftsmen and the smiths a thousand, all of them strong and apt for war, even them the king of Babylon brought 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 father's brother 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 and one years old when he began to reign; and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem; and his mother's name was Hamutal the 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 that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, 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 through the anger of the LORD did it come to pass in Jerusalem and Judah, until He had cast them out from His presence. And 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.
