< 1 Kings 20 >
1 And Ben Hadad [the] king of Aram he gathered all army his and thirty and two king[s] [were] with him and horse[s] and chariotry and he went up and he laid siege on Samaria and he fought against it.
Et Naboth le Jezraélite avait une vigne attenante à l'aire d'Achab, roi de Samarie.
2 And he sent messengers to Ahab [the] king of Israel the city towards. And he said to him thus he says Ben Hadad
Et Achab parla à Naboth, disant: Donne-moi ta vigne, j'en ferai mon jardin potager, car elle près de ma demeure; je te donnerai une vigne meilleure que la tienne. Si tu le préfères, je te donnerai de l'argent pour prix de ta vigne, et elle sera mon jardin potager.
3 silver your and gold your [belongs] to me it and wives your and children your good [belong] to me they.
Mais, Nabaoth dit à Achab: Dieu me préserve de te donner l'héritage de mon père.
4 And he answered [the] king of Israel and he said according to word your O lord my the king [belong] to you I and all that [belongs] to me.
Et l'esprit d'Achab fut troublé; il s'étendit sur sa couche, se voila le visage, et ne mangea pas de pain.
5 And they returned the messengers and they said thus he says Ben Hadad saying that I sent to you saying silver your and gold your and wives your and children your to me you will give.
Et Jézabel sa femme entra vers lui, et elle lui dit: D'où vient que tu as l'esprit troublé, et que tu ne manges pas de pain?
6 That - except about this time tomorrow I will send servants my to you and they will search house your and [the] houses of servants your and it will be every desirable thing of eyes your they will put in hand their and they will take [it].
Il lui répondit: C'est parce que j'ai parlé à Naboth le Jezraélite, disant: Donne-moi à prix d'argent ta vigne, ou, si tu veux, je te donnerai en échange une autre vigne, et qu'il m'a répondu: Je ne te donnerai pas l'héritage de mon père.
7 And he summoned [the] king of Israel all [the] elders of the land and he said know please and see that trouble this [man] [is] seeking for he sent to me for wives my and for children my and for silver my and for gold my and not I withheld [them] from him.
Jézabel sa femme lui dit: Conduis-toi donc en roi envers Israël, lève- toi, mange du pain, reviens à toi, et moi je te donnerai la vigne de Naboth le Jezraélite.
8 And they said to him all the elders and all the people may not you listen and not you must be willing.
Ensuite, elle écrivit au nom d'Achab une lettre qu'elle scella du sceau royal, et elle l'envoya aux anciens et aux premiers de la ville qui demeuraient avec Naboth.
9 And he said to [the] messengers of Ben Hadad say to lord my the king all that you sent to servant your at the first I will do and the thing this not I am able to do and they went the messengers and they brought back him word.
Or, elle avait écrit ceci dans la lettre: Ordonnez un jeûne et faites asseoir Naboth parmi les premiers du peuple.
10 And he sent to him Ben Hadad and he said thus may they do! to me [the] gods and thus may they add if it will suffice [the] dust of Samaria for handfuls for all the people which [is] at feet my.
Puis, devant lui, apostez deux hommes, fils de pervers, qui portent témoignage contre lui, disant: Il a blasphémé contre Dieu et le roi, qu'on l'emmène, qu'on le lapide, qu'il meure.
11 And he answered [the] king of Israel and he said speak may not he boast [one who] girds on like [one who] loosens.
Et les hommes de sa ville, les anciens et les plus riches qui demeuraient avec lui, firent comme avait dit Jézabel dans la lettre qu'elle leur avait envoyée.
12 And it was when heard the word this and he [was] drinking he and the kings in the booths and he said to servants his set yourselves and they set themselves on the city.
Ils ordonnèrent un jeûne, ils firent asseoir Naboth parmi les chefs du peuple,
13 And there! - a prophet one he drew near to Ahab [the] king of Israel and he said thus he says Yahweh ¿ do you see all the multitude great this here I [am] about to give it in hand your this day and you will know that I [am] Yahweh.
Et les deux hommes, fils de pervers, entrèrent, et ils s'assirent devant Naboth, et ils portèrent témoignage contre lui, disant: Tu as blasphémé contre Dieu et le roi. Et on l'emmena hors de la ville, on le lapida, et il mourut.
14 And he said Ahab by whom? and he said thus he says Yahweh by [the] young men of [the] officials of the provinces and he said who? will he begin the battle and he said you.
Puis, on envoya un message à Jézabel, disant: Naboth a été lapidé et il est mort.
15 And he mustered [the] young men of [the] officials of the provinces and they were two hundred two and thirty and after them he mustered all the people all [the] people of Israel [were] seven thousand.
Dès que Jézabel eut ouï le message, elle dit à Achab: Lève-toi, hérite de la vigne de Naboth le Jezraélite, qui n'a point voulu te la donner à prix d'argent; car Naboth n'est plus vivant, il est mort.
16 And they went out at the noontide and Ben Hadad [was] drinking drunken in the booths he and the kings thirty and two king[s] [who] was helping him.
Dès qu'Achab ouït que Naboth le Jezraélite était mort, il déchira ses vêtements et se couvrit d'un cilice; mais ensuite, il se leva, et il alla à la vigne de Naboth pour en prendre possession.
17 And they went out [the] young men of [the] officials of the provinces at the first and he sent Ben Hadad and people told to him saying men they have come out from Samaria.
Et le Seigneur parla à Elie le Thesbite, disant:
18 And he said if for peace they have come out seize them alive and if for battle they have come out alive seize them.
Lève-toi, va trouver Achab, roi d'Israël, à Samarie, car il est dans la vigne de Naboth; il y est allé pour en prendre possession.
19 And these [men] they went out from the city [the] young men of [the] officials of the provinces and the army which [was] behind them.
Et tu lui parleras, disant: Voici que dit le Seigneur: Comme tu as tué et hérité, voici, à cause de cela, ce que dit le Seigneur: En tout lieu où les chiens et les pourceaux ont léché le sang de Naboth, les chiens lécheront ton sang, et les prostituées se baigneront dans ton sang.
20 And they struck down everyone man his and they fled Aram and it pursued them Israel and he escaped Ben Hadad [the] king of Aram on a horse and horsemen.
Et Achab dit à Elie: Tu m'as donc trouvé, ô mon ennemi? Le prophète répondit: Je t'ai trouvé, en ce que tu t'es follement vendu pour faire le mal devant le Seigneur, et l'irriter.
21 And he went out [the] king of Israel and he struck down the horse[s] and the chariotry and he struck down among Aram a slaughter great.
Et c'est moi qui ferai fondre sur toi les malheurs, qui, allumerai le feu après toi, qui détruirai tout mâle de la maison d'Achab, tout ce qui est enfermé, tout ce qui reste encore en Israël.
22 And he drew near the prophet to [the] king of Israel and he said to him go strengthen yourself and know and see [that] which you will do for to [the] return of the year [the] king of Aram [is] coming up on you.
Et je ferai de ta maison ce que j'ai fait de la maison de Jéroboam, fils de Nabat, et de la maison de Baasa, fils d'Achias, parce que tu m'as irrité et que tu as fait tomber dans le péché tout Israël.
23 And [the] servants of [the] king of Aram they said to him [is] a god of mountains God their there-fore they were strong more than us and but let us do battle with them on the level ground if not we will be strong more than them.
Ensuite, le Seigneur s'adressant à Jézabel lui dit: Les chiens te dévoreront dans les murs de Jezraël;
24 And the thing this do remove the kings each from place his and appoint governors in place of them.
Celui de la maison d'Achab qui mourra dans la ville, les chiens le dévoreront; celui qui mourra dans les champs, sera dévoré par les oiseaux du ciel.
25 And you you will muster for yourself - an army like the army which fell from you and a horse like the horse - and chariotry like the chariotry and let us fight them on the level ground if not we will be strong more than them and he listened to voice their and he did thus.
Quant à Achab, il a follement agi en se vendant pour faire le mal devant le Seigneur, perverti par sa femme Jézabel.
26 And it was to [the] return of the year and he mustered Ben Hadad Aram and he went up Aphek towards for battle with Israel.
Il s'est rendu très abominable pour avoir marché à la suite des idoles, et imité tout ce que faisait l'Amorrhéen que le Seigneur a exterminé devant la face des fils d'Israël.
27 And [the] people of Israel they were mustered and they were supplied and they went to meet them and they encamped [the] people of Israel before them like two little flocks of goats and Aram they filled the land.
A ces mots, Achab fut tout contrit devant la face du Seigneur; il s'en alla pleurant; il déchira sa tunique, il se couvrit le corps d'un cilice et il jeûna (il s'était déjà enveloppé d'un cilice le jour où il avait frappé Naboth le Jezraélite); et il s'en alla tout humilié.
28 And he drew near [the] man of God and he said to [the] king of Israel and he said thus he says Yahweh because that they have said Aram [is] a god of mountains Yahweh and not [is] a god of valleys he and I will give all the multitude great this in hand your and you will know that I [am] Yahweh.
Et la parole du Seigneur vint encore à son serviteur Elie au sujet d'Achab, et le Seigneur lui dit:
29 And they encamped these opposite to these seven days and it was - on the day seventh and it drew near the battle and they struck down [the] people of Israel Aram one hundred thousand foot soldier[s] in a day one.
As-tu vu comme Achab était contrit devant ma face? Je ne ferai point fondre sur lui ces malheurs de son vivant, mais ce sera du vivant de son fils.
30 And they fled the [ones who] remained - Aphek towards into the city and it fell the wall on twenty and seven thousand man who remained and Ben Hadad he fled and he went into the city a room in a room.
Cependant Ben-Ader rassembla toute son armée, partit et assiégea Samarie; il avait avec lui trente-deux rois, toute sa cavalerie et tous ses chars. Et ils se mirent en campagne; ils assiégèrent Samarie, et ils donnèrent l'assaut à ses remparts.
31 And they said to him servants his here! please we have heard that [the] kings of [the] house of Israel that [are] kings of covenant loyalty they let us put please sackcloth on loins our and ropes on head our and let us go out to [the] king of Israel perhaps he will let live life your.
Puis, le roi de Syrie envoya dans la ville dire à Achab, roi d'Israël: Voici ce que dit Ben-Ader:
32 And they girded sackcloth on loins their and ropes on heads their and they went to [the] king of Israel and they said servant your Ben Hadad he says let it live please life my and he said ¿ [is] still he alive [is] brother my he.
Ton argent et ton or m'appartiennent; tes femmes et tes enfants m'appartiennent.
33 And the men they observed [the] signs and they hastened and they caught ¿ from him and they said [is] brother your Ben Hadad and he said go fetch him and he came out to him Ben Hadad and he brought up him on the chariot.
Le roi d'Israël répondit: Comme tu l'as dit, ô roi mon maître, je t'appartiens, et toutes les choses que je possède.
34 And he said to him the cities which he took father my from with father your I will return and streets you will make for yourself in Damascus just as he made father my in Samaria and I with the covenant I will let go you and he made to him a covenant and he let go him.
Les messagers vinrent encore, et ils dirent: Voici ce que dit Ben-Ader: de t'ai envoyé dire: Tu me livreras ton argent et ton or, et tes femmes et tes enfants.
35 And a man one one of [the] sons of the prophets he said to companion his at [the] word of Yahweh strike me please and he refused the man to strike him.
Demain donc, à pareille heure, j'enverrai près de toi mes serviteurs; ils fouilleront dans ta maison et dans les maisons de tes serviteurs, et ils prendront toutes les choses désirables à leurs yeux, sur lesquelles ils auront mis la main.
36 And he said to him because that not you listened to [the] voice of Yahweh here you [are] about to go from with me and it will strike down you the lion and he went from beside him and it met him the lion and it struck down him.
Alors, le roi d'Israël convoqua tous les anciens de la terre promise, et il dit: Écoutez, voyez quelle lâcheté demande cet homme: il me demande mes femmes, mes fils et mes filles. Quant à mon argent et à mon or, je ne les lui ai point refusés.
37 And he found a man another and he said strike me please and he struck him the man completely and wounded.
Et les anciens et tout le peuple s'écrièrent: Ne l'écoute pas, n'y consens point.
38 And he went the prophet and he stood for the king (beside *LAB(H)*) the way and he disguised himself with ashes over eyes his.
Il dit donc aux messagers de Ben-Ader: Dites à votre maître: Toutes les choses pour lesquelles tu as d'abord envoyé à ton serviteur, je les ferai, mais cette dernière chose je ne puis la faire. Et les hommes partirent, et ils rapportèrent sa réponse à leur maître.
39 And he was the king passing by and he he cried out to the king and he said servant your - he went out in [the] midst of the battle and there! a man he turned aside and he brought to me a man and he said guard the man this if indeed he will be missing and it will be life your in place of life his or a talent of silver you will weigh out.
Ben-Ader envoya encore à lui, disant: Que le Seigneur me punisse, et qu'il me punisse encore, si votre tanière à renards de Samarie suffit pour contenir les piétons de mon armée.
40 And he was servant your doing them and them and he there not [was] he and he said to him [the] king of Israel [is] thus sentence your you you have decided.
Le roi d'Israël reprit: C'est assez: que le tortu ne se glorifie pas comme l'homme qui se tient droit.
41 And he hastened and he removed the bandage (from over *Q(k)*) eyes his and he recognized him [the] king of Israel that [was] one of the prophets he.
Lorsque cette réponse fut rapportée au Syrien, il était à boire sous sa tente avec tous les rois ses alliés, et il dit à ses serviteurs: Elevez un retranchement. Ils firent donc un retranchement autour de la ville.
42 And he said to him thus he says Yahweh because you have let go [the] man of total destruction my from a hand and it will be life your in place of life his and people your in place of people his.
Or, voilà qu'un prophète arriva devant Achab, roi d'Israël, et dit: Voici ce que dit le Seigneur: As-tu vu cette innombrable multitude? Eh bien! aujourd'hui je te la livre, et tu reconnaîtras que je suis le Seigneur.
43 And he went [the] king of Israel to house his sullen and furious and he went Samaria towards.
Et Achab demanda: Par qui? Et le prophète reprit: Voici ce que dit le Seigneur: Par les jeunes fils des chefs des provinces. Et Achab dit: Qui commencera le combat? Le prophète répondit: Toi.
