2 Rois 24
1 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.
In his days came up Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, and Jehoyakim became his servant for three years: and then he returned and rebelled against him.
2 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.
And the Lord sent against him predatory bands of the Chaldeans, and predatory bands of the Syrians, and predatory bands of the Moabites, and predatory bands of the children of 'Ammon, and sent them against Judah to destroy it, according to the word of the Lord, which he had spoken by means of his servants the prophets.
3 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,
But only at the order of the Lord came this upon Judah, to remove the same out of his sight, for the sins of Menasseh, in accordance with all that he had done;
4 et à cause du sang innocent qu’avait répandu Manassé, au point de remplir Jérusalem de sang innocent. C’est pourquoi Yahweh ne voulait point pardonner.
And also for the innocent blood that he had shed; for he had filled Jerusalem with innocent blood; wherefore the Lord would not pardon.
5 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?
Now the rest of the acts of Jehoyakim, and all that he did, behold, they are written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah.
6 Joakim se coucha avec ses pères, et Joachin son fils, régna à sa place.
And Jehoyakim slept with his fathers: and Jehoyachin his son became king in his stead.
7 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.
And the king of Egypt came no more again out of his land; for the king of Babylon had taken from the brook of Egypt unto the river Euphrates all that had pertained to the king of Egypt.
8 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.
Eighteen years old was Jehoyachin when he became king, and three months did he reign in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Nechushta, the daughter of Elnathan of Jerusalem.
9 Il fit ce qui est mal aux yeux de Yahweh, selon tout ce qu’avait fait son père.
And he did what is evil in the eyes of the Lord, all just as that his father had done.
10 En ce temps-là, les serviteurs de Nabuchodonosor, roi de Babylone, montèrent contre Jérusalem, et la ville fut assiégée.
At that time the servants of Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon came up against Jerusalem, and the city was put in a state of siege.
11 Nabuchodonosor, roi de Babylone, vint devant la ville pendant que ses serviteurs l’assiégeaient.
And Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon came against the city, while his servants were besieging it.
12 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.
And Jehoyachin the king of Judah went out to the king of Babylon, he, and his mother, and his servants, and his princes, and his court-officers: and the king of Babylon took him [captive] in the eighth year of his reign.
13 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.
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 the king of Israel had made in the temple of the Lord, as the Lord had spoken.
14 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.
And he led away as exiles all Jerusalem, and all the princes, and all the mighty men of valor, ten thousand exiles, and all the craftsmen and locksmiths: there was none left, save the poorest sort of the people of the land.
15 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.
And he led away Jehoyachin as exile to Babylon; and the king's mother, and the king's wives, and his court-officers, and the mighty men of the land, he led into exile from Jerusalem to Babylon.
16 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.
And all the men of might, seven thousand [in number], and the craftsmen and the locksmiths a thousand [in number], all strong men, apt for war; and the king of Babylon brought them into exile to Babylon.
17 Et le roi de Babylone établit roi, à la place de Joachin, Mathanias, son oncle, dont il changea le nom en celui de Sédécias.
And the king of Babylon made Mattanyah his uncle king in his stead, and changed his name to Zedekiah.
18 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.
Twenty and one years old was Zedekiah when he became king, and eleven years did he reign in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Chamutal, the daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah.
19 Il fit ce qui est mal aux yeux de Yahweh, imitant tout ce qu’avait fait Joakim.
And he did what is evil in the eyes of the Lord, all just as Jehoyakim had done.
20 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.
For through the anger of the Lord it occurred in Jerusalem and Judah, until he had cast them out from his presence, that Zedekiah rebelled against the king of Babylon.
