2 Chroniques 33

1 Manassé avait douze ans lorsqu'il monta sur le trône, et il régna cinquante-cinq ans à Jérusalem.

Manasseh was twelve years old when he began to reign, and he reigned fifty and five years in Jerusalem:

2 Il fit le mal devant le Seigneur, et commit toutes les abominations des peuples que le Seigneur avait exterminés devant Israël.

But did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, like to the abominations of the heathen, whom the LORD had cast out before the children of Israel.

3 Il se pervertit, et il releva les hauts lieux qu'avait détruits Ezéchias, son père; il dressa des colonnes à Baal, planta des bois sacrés, adora toute l'armée du ciel, et la servit.

For he built again the high places which Hezekiah his father had broken down, and he reared up altars for Baalim, and made groves, and worshipped all the host of heaven, and served them.

4 Et il bâtit des autels dans le temple dont le Seigneur avait dit: Mon nom sera toujours dans Jérusalem.

Also he built altars in the house of the LORD, whereof the LORD had said, In Jerusalem shall my name be for ever.

5 Et il bâtit des autels à toute l'armée du ciel, dans les deux parvis du temple du Seigneur.

And he built altars for all the host of heaven in the two courts of the house of the LORD.

6 Et il fit passer ses enfants à travers la flamme dans le val de Benennom; et il consulta les devins, les augures et les sorciers; il accueillit des ventriloques et des enchanteurs; il fit de plus en plus le mal devant le Seigneur, pour exciter sa colère.

And he caused his children to pass through the fire in the valley of the son of Hinnom: also he observed times, and used enchantments, and used witchcraft, and dealt with a familiar spirit, and with wizards: he worked much evil in the sight of the LORD, to provoke him to anger.

7 Et il plaça des statues et des images en fonte dans le temple dont le Seigneur avait dit à David et à Salomon, son fils: En ce temple et à Jérusalem, que j'ai choisis parmi toutes les tribus d'Israël, j'établirai mon nom pour toujours.

And he set a carved image, the idol which he had made, in the house of God, of which God had said to David and to Solomon his son, In this house, and in Jerusalem, which I have chosen before all the tribes of Israel, will I put my name for ever:

8 Et je n'éloignerai plus le pied d'Israël de la terre que j'ai donnée à leurs pères, pourvu qu'ils soient attentifs à faire tout ce que je leur ai commandé, en se conformant à toute la loi, aux ordonnances et aux jugements donnés par la main de Moïse.

Neither will I any more remove the foot of Israel from out of the land which I have appointed for your fathers; so that they will take heed to do all that I have commanded them, according to the whole law and the statutes and the ordinances by the hand of Moses.

9 Ainsi, Manassé égara Juda et les habitants de Jérusalem, pour qu'ils fissent le mal, plus que toutes les nations que le Seigneur avait exterminées devant Israël.

So Manasseh made Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem to err, and to do worse than the heathen, whom the LORD had destroyed before the children of Israel.

10 Et le Seigneur parla à Manassé et à son peuple; mais ils ne l'écoutèrent pas.

And the LORD spoke to Manasseh, and to his people: but they would not listen.

11 Et le Seigneur conduisit contre eux les chefs de l'armée du roi d'Assyrie, et ils prirent Manassé, et ils le chargèrent de chaînes, et ils l'emmenèrent à Babylone.

Why the LORD brought on them the captains of the host of the king of Assyria, which took Manasseh among the thorns, and bound him with fetters, and carried him to Babylon.

12 Et, dans son affliction, il chercha la face du Seigneur son Dieu, et il s'humilia beaucoup devant la face du Seigneur Dieu de ses pères.

And when he was in affliction, he sought the LORD his God, and humbled himself greatly before the God of his fathers,

13 Et il le pria; or, Dieu entendit ses cris; il l'exauça, et le ramena à Jérusalem dans son royaume, et Manassé reconnut que le Seigneur seul est Dieu.

And prayed to him: and he was entreated of him, and heard his supplication, and brought him again to Jerusalem into his kingdom. Then Manasseh knew that the LORD he was God.

14 Après cela, il bâtit le mur extérieur de la ville de David, du côté du midi, au sud du torrent, depuis l'entrée de la porte des Poissons, continuant tout autour jusqu'à Ophel; il l'éleva beaucoup, et il établit des chefs de l'armée dans toutes les places fortes de Juda.

Now after this he built a wall without the city of David, on the west side of Gihon, in the valley, even to the entering in at the fish gate, and compassed about Ophel, and raised it up a very great height, and put captains of war in all the fenced cities of Judah.

15 Et il enleva les dieux étrangers et les statues du temple du Seigneur, et les autels qu'il avait dressés sur la montagne du temple du Seigneur, tant dans Jérusalem que hors de la ville.

And he took away the strange gods, and the idol out of the house of the LORD, and all the altars that he had built in the mount of the house of the LORD, and in Jerusalem, and cast them out of the city.

16 Et il releva l'autel du Seigneur, et il y sacrifia des hosties pacifiques et des victimes de louanges; et il dit à Juda de servir le Seigneur Dieu d'Israël.

And he repaired the altar of the LORD, and sacrificed thereon peace offerings and thank offerings, and commanded Judah to serve the LORD God of Israel.

17 Toutefois, le peuple sacrifia encore sur les hauts lieux; mais seulement au Seigneur.

Nevertheless the people did sacrifice still in the high places, yet to the LORD their God only.

18 Le reste des actes de Manassé, sa prière à Dieu, et les paroles des voyants qui lui parlèrent au nom du Seigneur Dieu d'Israël,

Now the rest of the acts of Manasseh, and his prayer to his God, and the words of the seers that spoke to him in the name of the LORD God of Israel, behold, they are written in the book of the kings of Israel.

19 La prière qu'il fit à Dieu et qui fut exaucée, ses péchés, ses égarements, et les endroits où il bâtit des hauts lieux, et où il plaça des bois sacrés et des statues, avant de se convertir, sont écrits aux Récits des voyants.

His prayer also, and how God was entreated of him, and all his sins, and his trespass, and the places wherein he built high places, and set up groves and graven images, before he was humbled: behold, they are written among the sayings of the seers.

20 Et Manassé s'endormit avec ses pères, et on l'ensevelit dans le jardin de son palais, et son fils Amon régna à sa place.

So Manasseh slept with his fathers, and they buried him in his own house: and Amon his son reigned in his stead.

21 Amon avait vingt-deux ans quand il monta sur le trône, et il régna deux ans à Jérusalem.

Amon was two and twenty years old when he began to reign, and reigned two years in Jerusalem.

22 Et il fit le mal devant le Seigneur, comme avait fait son père; il sacrifia à toutes les idoles qu'avait faites Manassé, et il les servit.

But he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, as did Manasseh his father: for Amon sacrificed to all the carved images which Manasseh his father had made, and served them;

23 Et il ne s'humilia pas devant le Seigneur, comme s'était humilié son père; et il multiplia ses péchés.

And humbled not himself before the LORD, as Manasseh his father had humbled himself; but Amon trespassed more and more.

24 Et ses serviteurs se soulevèrent contre lui, et ils le tuèrent dans son palais.

And his servants conspired against him, and slew him in his own house.

25 Et le peuple de la terre massacra les révoltés, et il proclama roi, à la place d'Amon, Josias, son fils.

But the people of the land slew all them that had conspired against king Amon; and the people of the land made Josiah his son king in his stead.
