2 Kings 24
1 In his days, came up Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, —and Jehoiakim became his servant three years, then turned he and rebelled against him.
En ce temps-là, Nabuchodonosor, roi de Babylone, vint, et Joacin lui fut asservi trois ans; ensuite il changea de pensée, et il refusa de lui obéir.
2 And Yahweh sent against him troops of Chaldeans, and troops of Syrians, and troops of Moabites, and troops of the sons of Ammon, yea he sent them against Judah, to destroy him, —according to the word of Yahweh, which he spake through his servants the prophets.
Alors, le Seigneur envoya contre lui des bandes de la Chaldée, de la Syrie, de Moab et des fils d'Ammon; il les envoya en la terre de Juda pour prévaloir sur elle, selon la parole que le Seigneur avait dite par la voix de ses serviteurs les prophètes;
3 Surely, it was, because of the anger of Yahweh, that this came upon Judah, to remove them from his presence, —for the sins of Manasseh, according to all that he had done:
De plus, la colère du Seigneur contre Juda voulait l'expulser de devant sa face à cause des péchés de Manassé, et de tout ce qu'avait fait ce roi;
4 moreover also, for the innocent blood that he had shed, so that he had filled Jerusalem with innocent blood, —which Yahweh was not willing to pardon.
Car il avait versé le sang innocent, il en avait rempli Jérusalem; et le Seigneur ne voulait point s'apaiser.
5 Now, the rest of the story of Jehoiakim, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah?
Quant au reste de l'histoire de Joacin, n'est-il pas écrit au livre des Faits et gestes des rois de Juda?
6 So Jehoiakim slept with his fathers, —and, Jehoiachin his son, reigned, in his stead.
Et Joacin s'endormit avec ses pères, et son fils Joachim, régna à sa place.
7 And the king of Egypt came no more again out of his land, —for the king of Babylon had taken—from the ravine of Egypt, unto the river Euphrates, all that had belonged to the king of Egypt.
Et le roi d'Égypte ne sortit plus de sa contrée, parce que, depuis le torrent d'Égypte jusqu'à l'Euphrate, le roi de Babylone avait pris tout ce qui appartenait à l'Égyptien.
8 Eighteen years old, was Jehoiachin when he began to reign, and, three months, reigned he in Jerusalem, —and, his mother’s name, was Nehushta daughter of Elnathan, of Jerusalem.
Joachim avait dix-huit ans quand il monta sur le trône, et il régna trois mois à Jérusalem; sa mère se nommait Nestha, fille d'Ellanastham, de Jérusalem.
9 And he did the thing that was wicked in the eyes of Yahweh, —according to all that, his father, had done.
Et il fit le mal devant le Seigneur, comme avait fait son père.
10 At that time, came up the servants of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, unto Jerusalem, —and the city came into the siege.
En ce temps-là, Nabuchodonosor, roi de Babylone, marcha sur Jérusalem, et la ville fut investie.
11 And Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came against the city, and his servants were about to besiege it.
Et Nabuchodonosor mit le siège devant la ville, et ses serviteurs la tinrent assiégée.
12 Then came out Jehoiachin king of Judah, unto the king of Babylon, he and his mother, and his servants, and his generals, and his courtiers, —and the king of Babylon took him, in the eighth year of his reign.
Or, Joachim, roi de Juda, se rendit au roi de Babylone, lui, ses serviteurs, sa mère, ses chefs et ses eunuques; le roi de Babylone le fit captif en la huitième année de son règne.
13 And he carried forth from thence, all the treasures of the house of Yahweh, and the treasures of the house of the king, —and he cut off all the fittings of gold, which Solomon king of Israel had made in the temple of Yahweh, according to all that, Yahweh, had spoken.
Et il enleva de Jérusalem tous les trésors du temple du Seigneur et tous les trésors du palais du roi; il brisa tous les vaisseaux d'or qu'avait faits, dans le temple, le roi Salomon, selon la parole du Seigneur.
14 And he carried away all Jerusalem, and all the generals, and all the mighty men of valour, ten thousand becoming captives, and all the artificers and the smiths, —none remained save the poorest of the people of the land.
Et il emmena en captivité, au nombre de dix mille, tous les chefs, tous les hommes vaillants, et en outre tous les charpentiers et tous les maçons; il ne resta dans la terre que les indigents.
15 And he carried away captive Jehoiachin, to Babylon, —and, the king’s mother, and the king’s wives, and his courtiers, and the nobles of the land, took he away captive, from Jerusalem to Babylon.
Il transporta aussi à Babylone, Joachim, la mère du roi, les femmes du roi et ses eunuques; il conduisit tous les riches de la terre de Jérusalem à Babylone,
16 And, all the men of might—seven thousand, and artificers and smiths—a thousand, all who were valiant and ready to make war, the king of Babylon brought them captive to Babylon.
Et tous les hommes dans la force de l'âge au nombre de soixante-dix mille, et mille charpentiers ou maçons, tous faisant la guerre. Le roi Nabuchodonosor les emmena captifs à Babylone.
17 And the king of Babylon made Mattaniah, his relative, king in his stead, —and changed his name to Zedekiah.
Et il remplaça Joachim par Batthanias, fils de Josias, et il donna à ce roi le nom de Sédécias.
18 Twenty-one years old, was Zedekiah when he began to reign, and, eleven years, reigned he in Jerusalem, —and, his mother’s name, was Hamutal, daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah.
Sédécias avait vingt-neuf ans quand il monta sur le trône, et il régna onze ans à Jérusalem; le nom de sa mère était Amital, fille de Jérémie.
19 And he did the thing that was wicked in the eyes of Yahweh, —according to all that, Jehoiakim, had done.
Et il fit le mal devant le Seigneur, comme avait fait Joacin;
20 For, it was because the anger of Yahweh had come against Jerusalem, and against Judah, until he had cast them out from his presence, that Zedekiah rebelled, against the king of Babylon.
Car, telle était la pensée du Seigneur contre Jérusalem et contre Juda, jusqu'à ce qu'il les eut expulsés de devant sa face. Or, Sédécias se révolta contre le roi de Babylone.
