2 Rois 15
1 La vingt-septième année du règne de Jéroboam, roi d’Israël, Azaria, fils d’Amacia, devint roi de Juda.
After Jeroboam had been ruling Israel for almost twenty-seven years, Uzziah, the son of King Amaziah of Judah, began to rule.
2 Agé de seize ans à son avènement, il régna cinquante-deux ans à Jérusalem; le nom de sa mère était Yekhalyahou, de Jérusalem.
He was 16 years old when he started to rule, and he ruled in Jerusalem for 52 years. His mother was Jecoliah, from Jerusalem.
3 Il fit ce qui est droit aux yeux de l’Eternel, suivant en tout l’exemple de son père Amacia.
He did things that Yahweh was pleased with, like his father Amaziah had done.
4 Toutefois, les hauts-lieux ne disparurent point: le peuple continua d’y offrir des sacrifices et de l’encens.
But, the places at the pagan shrines where they worshiped Yahweh were not destroyed, and the people continued to burn incense [to honor Yahweh] at those places [instead of in Jerusalem, the place that Yahweh had appointed].
5 Le Seigneur frappa le roi de maladie: il resta atteint de lèpre jusqu’au jour de sa mort et demeura dans une maison d’isolement. Jotham, fils du roi, préposé au palais, gouvernait les gens du pays.
Yahweh caused Uzziah to become a leper, and he was a leper for the rest of his life. [He was not allowed to live in the palace]. He lived alone in a house, and his son Jotham ruled the country.
6 Le reste de l’histoire d’Azaria et tous ses actes sont consignés dans le livre des annales des rois de Juda.
[If you want to know about] everything else that Uzziah did, it is written [RHQ] in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Judah’.
7 Azaria s’endormit avec ses aïeux; on l’enterra à côté d’eux dans la Cité de David, et son fils Jotham lui succéda.
Uzziah died [EUP], and they buried him in [the part of Jerusalem called] ‘The City of David’, where his ancestors had been buried. Then his son Jotham officially became the king.
8 La trente-huitième année du règne d’Azaria, roi de Juda, Zacharie, fils de Jéroboam, devint roi d’Israël à Samarie; il régna six mois.
After Uzziah had been ruling Judah for almost thirty-eight years, Zechariah, the son of Jeroboam, became the king of Israel. He ruled in Samaria [city] for [only] six months.
9 Il fit ce qui est mal aux yeux de l’Eternel tout comme ses pères; il ne renonça point aux prévarications de Jéroboam, fils de Nebat, qui avait poussé Israël au péché.
He did many things that Yahweh considered to be evil, like his ancestors had done. He committed the same kind of sins that Jeroboam had committed, sins which led the Israeli people to sin.
10 Challoum, fils de Yabêch, complota contre lui, le frappa en présence du peuple et le mit à mort; puis il prit la royauté à sa place.
Then Shallum, the son of Jabesh, made plans to assassinate Zechariah. He killed him at Ibleam [town], and then he became the king.
11 Les autres détails de l’histoire de Zacharie sont consignés dans le livre des annales des rois d’Israël.
Everything else that Zechariah did is written in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Israel’.
12 Ainsi s’accomplit la parole du Seigneur adressée à Jéhu: "Tes descendants, jusqu’à la quatrième génération, s’asseoiront sur le trône d’Israël;" ce qui arriva en effet.
When Zechariah died, [that ended the dynasty of King Jehu]. That fulfilled what Yahweh said to King Jehu would happen: “Your son and grandson and great-grandson and great-great-grandson will all be kings of Israel.”
13 Challoum, fils de Yabéch, devint roi la trente-neuvième année du règne d’Ouzia, roi de Juda; il régna un mois à Sa-marie.
Shallum, the son of Jabesh, became the king of Israel after King Uzziah had been ruling Judah for almost thirty-nine years. But Shallum ruled in Samaria for [only] one month.
14 Menahem, fils de Gadi, monta de Tirça et se rendit à Samarie; là, il frappa Challoum, fils de Yabéch, le fit mourir et prit la royauté à sa place.
Then Menahem, the son of Gadi, went up from Tirzah [city] to Samaria and assassinated Shallum. Then Menahem became the king of Israel.

16 Menahem, tout aussitôt, attaqua la ville de Tifsah et tout ce qui s’y trouvait, ainsi que sa banlieue depuis Tirça. Il sévit parce qu’elle n’avait pas ouvert ses portes et fit fendre le sein à toutes ses femmes enceintes.
While Menahem was ruling in Samaria, he completely destroyed Tappuah [village south of Samaria] and killed all the people who lived there and in the surrounding territory. He did that because the people in that city refused to surrender to him. [With his sword] he even ripped open the bellies of pregnant women.

18 li fit ce qui est mal aux yeux du Seigneur, ne renonçant pas aux prévarications de Jéroboam, fils de Nebat, qui, toute sa vie durant, avait poussé Israël au péché.
He did many things that Yahweh considered to be evil. He committed the same kinds of sins that King Jeroboam had committed, sins that led the people of Israel to sin. He continued to commit those sins for the rest of his life.
19 Phoul, roi d’Assyrie, ayant envahi le pays, Menahem lui donna mille kikkar d’argent pour obtenir son appui et affermir ainsi la royauté entre ses mains.
Then King Tiglath-Pileser of Assyria came [with his army] to attack Israel. So Menahem gave him (thirty-eight tons/35,000 kg.) of silver in order that Tiglath-Pileser would help Menahem to continue to be king and rule his country more strongly.
20 Menahem rejeta la charge de cette somme d’argent sur Israël, sur tous les gens riches, les obligeant de verser pour le roi d’Assyrie cinquante sicles par personne. Le roi d’Assyrie s’en retourna et n’occupa point le pays.
Menahem obtained that money from the rich men in Israel. He compelled each of them to contribute 50 pieces of silver. So Tiglath-Pileser [took that money and] went back home.
21 Le reste de l’histoire de Menahem et tous ses actes sont consignés dans le livre des annales des rois d’Israël.

Then one of Pekahiah’s army commanders whose name was Pekah, the son of Remaliah, planned with 50 men from [the] Gilead [region] to kill Pekahiah. They assassinated him in a fortified place in the king’s palace in Samaria. Then Pekah became the king.

30 Osée, fils d’Ela, forma un complot contre Pékah, fils de Remaliahou, le frappa et le fit mourir il prit la royauté à sa place la vingtième année de Jotham, fils d’Ouzia.
Then Hoshea, the son of Elah, plotted to kill Pekah. He assassinated him when Uzziah’s son Jotham had been ruling Judah for almost 20 years. Then Hoshea became the king of Israel.

But he did not destroy the places on the tops of hills where the people worshiped [Yahweh], and the people continued to burn incense there [to honor Yahweh]. Jotham’s workers built the Upper Gate of the temple.
