1 Kings 16
1 During the time that Baasha [was king of Israel], [the prophet] Jehu, Hanani’s son, gave Baasha this message that he had received from Yahweh:
Et la parole du Seigneur vint à Jéhu, fils d'Anani; celui-ci dit à Baasa:
2 “You were very insignificant/unimportant [IDM] when I caused you to become the ruler of my Israeli people. But you have caused me to become very angry by doing [IDM] the kinds of evil things that King Jeroboam did. You have also caused me to become angry by causing my people to sin.
En punition de ce qu'après avoir été, par moi, tiré de la poussière et élevé sur le trône d'Israël, tu as marché dans la voie de Jéroboam, tu as fait tomber dans le péché tout mon peuple d'Israël, qui, par ses vanités, a excité ma colère,
3 So now I will get rid of you and your family [MTY]. I will do to you just like I did to Jeroboam and his family.
Je susciterai des ennemis contre toi Baasa et contre toute ta maison, et je leur livrerai ta maison comme je t'ai livré la maison de Jéroboam, fils de Nabat.
4 [The bodies of] those in your family who die in this city [will not be buried; they] will be eaten by dogs; and [the corpses of] those who die in the fields will be eaten by vultures.”
Les chiens dévoreront celui du sang de Baasa qui mourra dans la ville; et les oiseaux du ciel dévoreront celui qui mourra dans les champs.
5 The other things that happened during the time that Baasha ruled Israel, and the things that he did, are written [RHQ] in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Israel’.
Quant au reste de l'histoire de Baasa, n'est-il pas écrit au livre des Faits et gestes des rois d'Israël?
6 When Baasha died, he was buried in Tirzah, [the capital city]. Then his son Elah became king.
Et Baasa s'endormit avec ses pères; il fut enseveli à Thersa, et son fils régna à sa place.
7 Yahweh gave that message about Baasha and his family to the prophet Jehu. Baasha had done many things that Yahweh considered to be evil, which caused Yahweh to become angry. Baasha did the same kind of things that King Jeroboam and his family had done previously. Yahweh was also angry with Baasha because he had killed all of Jeroboam’s family.
Or, le Seigneur avait parlé par la voix de Jéhu, fils d'Anani, contre Baasa et sa maison, à cause de tout le mal qu'il avait fait devant le Seigneur, pour irriter le Seigneur par les œuvres de ses mains, et pour que sa maison devînt comme celle de Jéroboam; et Baasa avait tué Jéhu.
8 After Asa had been the king of Judah for almost 26 years, Elah became the king of Israel. Elah ruled in Tirzah for [only] two years.
Et Ela, fils de Baasa, régna deux ans sur Israël, à Thersa.
9 [A man named] Zimri was one of Elah’s army officers. He commanded the drivers of half of Elah’s army’s (chariots/two-wheeled vehicles pulled by horses). He made plans to kill Elah while Elah was in Tirzah, getting drunk at the house of [a man named] Arza. Arza was the man who took care of the things in the king’s palace.
Et Zambri, chef de la moitié de sa cavalerie, se révolta contre lui; comme il était à boire, et déjà ivre, dans la maison d'Osa, son économe, à Thersa,
10 Zimri went into Arza’s house and killed Elah. Then Zimri became the king of Israel. That was when Asa had been the king of Judah for 27 years.
Zambri entra, le frappa, le tua, et régna à sa place.
11 As soon as Zimri became king [MTY], he killed all of Baasha’s family [MTY]. That included every male [IDM] in Baasha’s family and all of Baasha’s male friends.
Et, aussitôt qu'il fut proclamé roi, et qu'il se fut assis sur le trône,
12 That was just what Yahweh told the prophet Jehu would happen.
Il extermina toute la famille de Baasa, selon la parole qu'avait dite le Seigneur sur la maison de Baasa, par la voix de Jéhu le prophète,
13 Baasha and his son Elah had sinned and led the Israeli people to sin. They caused Yahweh, the God whom the Israeli people worshiped, to become angry, because they both urged the people [to worship] worthless idols.
Concernant les péchés de Baasa et de son fils Ela, et le péché où ils avaient fait tomber Israël, qui, par ses vanités, avait irrité le Seigneur.
14 Everything else that Elah did is written in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Israel’.
Quant au reste de l'histoire d'Ela, n'est-il pas écrit au livre des faits et gestes des rois d'Israël?
15 So Zimri became the king of Israel after Asa had been king of Judah for 27 years. But Zimri ruled in Tirzah for only seven days. The Israeli army was beseiging/surrounding Gibeah, a town which belonged to the Philistine people-group.
Zambri régna sept jours à Thersa; alors, Israël était campé devant Gabathon, ville des Philistins.
16 The men in the Israeli army camp heard that Zimri had secretly planned to kill King Elah, and then had killed him. So on that day the soldiers chose Omri, the commander of their army, to become the king of Israel.
Et le peuple mût dans le camp que l'on disait: Zambri s'est révolté et il a tué le roi; aussitôt, le peuple d'Israël proclama roi Ambri, qui, ce jour-là, commandait l'armée et le camp.
17 The Israeli army was camped near Gibbethon [city]. When they heard what Zimri had done, they left there and went to Tirzah, and surrounded the city.
Et Ambri, avec tout Israël, partit de Gabathon, et il assiégea Thersa.
18 When Zimri realized that the city was [about to be] captured, he went into his palace and set it on fire. So the palace burned down, and he died [in the fire].
Quand Zambri vit que sa ville était prise, il se réfugia dans un souterrain de son palais; puis, il brûla sur lui le palais, et il mourut,
19 He died because he had sinned by doing the things that Yahweh considered to be evil. Jeroboam had led the Israeli people to sin, and Zimri sinned just like Jeroboam had sinned.
A cause des péchés qu'il avait commis en faisant le mal devant le Seigneur, en faisait tomber Israël dans le péché, et en marchant dans la voie de Jéroboam.
20 All the other things that Zimri did, and the record of how he rebelled [against King Elah], are written in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Israel’.
Pour le reste de l'histoire de Zambri, n'est-il pas écrit au livre des Faits et gestes des rois d'Israël?
21 After Zimri died, the Israeli people were divided. One group wanted Tibni, the son of Ginath, to be their king. The other group wanted Omri [to be the king].
Alors, le peuple d'Israël se divisa: la moitié voulut pour roi Thamni, fils de Gonath; l'autre moitié, Ambri.
22 Those who supported Omri (were stronger than/defeated) those who supported Tibni. So Tibni was killed, and Omri became king.
Le peuple qui suivait Ambri l'emporta sur le peuple qui suivait Thamni, fils de Gonath; Thamni mourut, en ce temps-là, ainsi que Joram, son frère, et Ambri régna après Thamni.
23 Omri became king when Asa had been king of Judah for almost 31 years. Omri ruled Israel for 12 years. For the first six years he ruled in Tirzah.
En la trente et unième année du règne d'Asa en Juda, Ambri fut reconnu roi d'Israël; il régna douze ans, dont six à Thersa.
24 Then he bought a hill from [a man named] Shemer and paid him about (150 pounds/70 kg.) of silver for it. Then Omri ordered his men to build a city on that hill, and he called it Samaria, to honor Shemer, the man who owned it previously.
Et Ambri acheta la montagne de Samarie, de Samar, qui était maître de cette montagne, au prix de deux talents d'argent; il bâtit sur la montagne une ville qu'il appela Samarie, du nom de celui qui la lui avait vendue.
25 But Omri did many things that Yahweh considered to be evil. He did more evil deeds than any of the kings who ruled Israel before he did.
Et Ambri fit le mal devant le Seigneur; il fit le mal plus que tous ceux qui avaient régné avant lui.
26 [When] Jeroboam [was previously the king, he] had led the Israeli people to sin, and Omri committed the same kind of sins that Jeroboam did. The Israeli people caused Yahweh, the God the Israeli people had worshiped, to become very angry, because they worshiped worthless idols.
Il marcha dans toutes les voies de Jéroboam, fils de Nabat, et dans les péchés où il avait fait tomber tout Israël qui, par ses vanités, avait irrité le Seigneur.
27 Everything that Omri did, and the record of the victories that his [army] won, are written in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Israel’.
Quant au reste de l'histoire d'Ambri, aux actions qu'il fit dans sa puissance, ne sont-ils pas écrits au livre des Faits et gestes des rois d'Israël?
28 After Omri died, he was buried in Samaria, and his son Ahab became king.
Et Ambri s'endormit avec ses pères; il fut inhumé à Samarie, et; son fils Achab régna à sa place.
29 Ahab became king of Israel when Asa had ruled Judah for almost 38 years. Ahab ruled in Samaria [city] for 22 years.
La seconde année du règne de Josaphat en Juda, Achab commença, dans Samarie, un règne de vingt-deux ans.
30 Ahab did many things that Yahweh considered to be evil. He did more evil things than any of the kings who ruled Israel before he did.
Et Achab fit le mal devant le Seigneur; il fit le mal plus que tous ceux qui avaient régné avant lui.
31 He committed the same kind of sins that Jeroboam did, but he did things that were worse than the things that Jeroboam did. He married [a woman named] Jezebel, the daughter of Ethbaal, the king of Sidon [city]. Then Ahab started to worship Baal, [the god that the Canaan people-group worshiped].
Il ne lui suffit pas de marcher dans les péchés de Jéroboam, fils de Nabat; il prit pour femme Jézabel, fille d'Ethbaal, roi des Sidoniens; il l'imita, il servit Baal, et l'adora.
32 He built a temple in Samaria in order that the Israeli people could worship Baal there, and he put an altar there for [making sacrifices to] Baal.
Et il éleva un autel à Baal dans le temple d'abomination qu'il avait bâti à Samarie.
33 He also made an idol that represented Asherah, [Baal’s wife]. He did many more things that caused Yahweh to become angry. He did more evil things than any of the previous kings of Israel had done.
Il planta un bois sacré, et il continua ses abominations pour irriter le Seigneur et perdre son âme. Il fit le mal plus que tous ceux qui, avant lui, avaient régné sur Israël.
34 During the years that Ahab [ruled], Hiel, a man from Bethel [city], rebuilt Jericho [city]. But when he started to rebuild the city, his oldest son Abiram died. And [when the city was finished, ] while Hiel was building the city gates, his youngest son Segub died. They died just like Yahweh had told Joshua would happen [to the sons of anyone who would rebuild Jericho].
En ces jours-là, Achiel le Béthélite rebâtit Jéricho en sacrifiant son premier-né, Abiron, qui mourut comme il jetait les fondations; et Segub, le plus jeune de ses fils, qui mourut quand il posa les portes, selon la parole que le Seigneur avait dite par la voix de Josué, fils de Nau.
