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:
Or la parole du Seigneur fut adressée à Jéhu, fils d’Hanani, contre Baasa, disant:
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.
Quand je t’ai élevé de la poussière, et je t’ai établi chef sur mon peuple Israël, toi au contraire, tu as marché dans la voie de Jéroboam, et tu as fait pécher mon peuple Israël, pour m’irriter par leurs péchés:
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.
Voilà que moi, je moissonnerai la postérité de Baasa et la postérité de sa maison, et je ferai de ta maison ce que j’ai fait de la maison de Jéroboam, fils de Nabath.
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.”
Celui de la race de Baasa qui mourra dans la ville, les chiens le mangeront, et celui qui mourra dans la campagne, les oiseaux du ciel le mangeront.
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’.
Mais le reste des actions de Baasa, et tout ce qu’il fit, et ses combats, n’est-ce pas écrit dans le Livre des actions des jours des rois d’Israël?
6 When Baasha died, he was buried in Tirzah, [the capital city]. Then his son Elah became king.
Baasa dormit donc avec ses pères, et il fut enseveli à Thersa; et Ela son fils régna en 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.
Mais lorsque par l’entremise de Jéhu le prophète, fils d’Hanani, la parole du Seigneur eut été adressée contre Baasa, contre sa maison, et contre tout le mal qu’il avait fait devant le Seigneur, pour l’irriter par les œuvres de ses mains, afin que sa maison devînt comme la maison de Jéroboam, Baasa pour ce motif même le tua, c’est-à-dire, Jéhu, fils d’Hanani le prophète,
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.
La vingt-sixième année d’Asa, roi de Juda, Ela, fils de Baasa, régna sur Israël à Thersa pendant deux ans;
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.
Car son serviteur Zambri, chef de la moitié de sa cavalerie, se révolta contre lui; or Ela était à Thersa buvant et ivre, dans la maison d’Arsa, gouverneur de 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 donc se jetant sur lui, le frappa et le tua la vingt-septième année d’Asa, roi de Juda, et il régna en 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 lorsqu’il fut roi et qu’il fut assis sur son trône, il tua toute la maison de Baasa, et il ne laissa d’elle aucun urinant contre une muraille, ni ses proches, ni ses amis.
12 That was just what Yahweh told the prophet Jehu would happen.
Ainsi Zambri détruisit toute la maison de Baasa, selon la parole que le Seigneur avait dite à Baasa par l’entremise 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.
À cause de tous les péchés de Baasa et des péchés d’Ela son fils, qui avaient péché et fait pécher tout Israël, provoquant le Seigneur Dieu d’Israël par leurs vanités.
14 Everything else that Elah did is written in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Israel’.
Mais le reste des actions d’Ela, et tout ce qu’il fit, n’est-ce pas écrit dans le Livre des actions des jours 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.
La vingt-septième année d’Asa, roi de Juda, Zambri régna pendant sept jours à Thersa: or l’armée d’Israël assiégeait Gebbethon, 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 lorsqu’il eut appris que Zambri s’était révolté et avait tué le roi, tout Israël se donna pour roi Amri, qui était prince de la milice d’Israël, et en ce jour-là dans 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.
Amri monta donc, et tout Israël avec lui, de Gebbethon, et ils assiégeaient 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].
Or Zambri, voyant que la ville allait être prise d’assaut, entra dans le palais et se brûla avec la maison royale: 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.
Dans ses péchés qu’il avait commis, faisant le mal devant le Seigneur, et marchant dans la voie de Jéroboam et dans le péché par lequel il avait fait pécher Israël.
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’.
Mais le reste des actions de Zambri, de ses embûches et de sa tyrannie, n’est-ce pas écrit dans le Livre des actions des jours 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 fut divisé en deux parties: la moitié du peuple suivait Thebni, fils de Gineth, pour l’établir roi, et l’autre moitié. Amri.
22 Those who supported Omri (were stronger than/defeated) those who supported Tibni. So Tibni was killed, and Omri became king.
Mais le peuple qui était avec Amri l’emporta sur le peuple qui était avec Thebni, fils de Gineth; or Thebni mourut, et Amri régna.
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.
Depuis la trente-unième année d’Asa, roi de Juda, Amri régna sur Israël pendant douze ans: à Thersa, il régna six ans.
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 il acheta la montagne de Samarie à Somer, pour deux talents d’argent; et il la bâtit, et il appela la ville qu’il avait construite Samarie, du nom de Somer, le maître de la montagne.
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.
Mais Amri fit le mal en la présence du Seigneur, et il agit méchamment, plus que tous ceux qui furent 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.
Et il marcha dans toute la voie de Jéroboam, fils de Nabath, et dans ses péchés par lesquels il avait fait pécher Israël, pour irriter le Seigneur Dieu d’Israël par ses vanités.
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’.
Mais le reste des actions d’Amri et les combats qu’il donna, n’est-ce pas écrit dans le Livre des actions des jours des rois d’Israël?
28 After Omri died, he was buried in Samaria, and his son Ahab became king.
Et Amri dormit avec ses pères et fut enseveli à Samarie, et Achab, son fils, régna en 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.
Mais Achab, fils d’Amri, régna sur Israël la trente-huitième année d’Asa, roi de Juda. Et Achab, fils d’Amri, régna sur Israël à Samarie pendant 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, fils d’Amri, fit le mal en la présence du Seigneur plus que tous ceux qui furent 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].
Et il ne lui suffit pas de marcher dans les péchés de Jéroboam, fils de Nabath; de plus, il prit pour femme Jézabel, fille d’Ethbaal, roi des Sidoniens, et il alla, et 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 de Baal 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.
Et il planta le bois sacré; et Achab ajouta à son œuvre en irritant le Seigneur Dieu d’Israël plus que tous les rois d’Israël qui furent avant lui.
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].
Pendant ses jours, Hiel, de Béthel, bâtit Jéricho: il en jeta les fondements sur Abiram, son premier-né, et il en posa les portes sur Ségub, son dernier fils, selon la parole que le Seigneur avait dite par l’entremise de Josué, fils de Nun.
