< 2 Rois 24 >

1 En ce temps-là, Nabuchodonosor, roi de Babylone, vint, et Joacin lui fut asservi trois ans; ensuite il changea de pensée, et il refusa de lui obéir.
During his days, Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, ascended, and Jehoiakim became his servant for three years. And again he rebelled against him.
2 Alors, le Seigneur envoya contre lui des bandes de la Chaldée, de la Syrie, de Moab et des fils d'Ammon; il les envoya en la terre de Juda pour prévaloir sur elle, selon la parole que le Seigneur avait dite par la voix de ses serviteurs les prophètes;
And the Lord sent to him the robbers of the Chaldeans, and the robbers of Syria, and the robbers of Moab, and the robbers of the sons of Ammon. And he sent them into Judah, so that they might destroy it, in accord with the word of the Lord, which he had spoken through his servants, the prophets.
3 De plus, la colère du Seigneur contre Juda voulait l'expulser de devant sa face à cause des péchés de Manassé, et de tout ce qu'avait fait ce roi;
Then this occurred, by the word of the Lord against Judah, that he took him away from before himself because of all the sins of Manasseh which he did,
4 Car il avait versé le sang innocent, il en avait rempli Jérusalem; et le Seigneur ne voulait point s'apaiser.
and because of the innocent blood which he shed, and because he filled Jerusalem with the slaughter of the innocent. And for this reason, the Lord was not willing to be appeased.
5 Quant au reste de l'histoire de Joacin, n'est-il pas écrit au livre des Faits et gestes des rois de Juda?
But the rest of the words of Jehoiakim, and all that he did, have these not been written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Judah? And Jehoiakim slept with his fathers.
6 Et Joacin s'endormit avec ses pères, et son fils Joachim, régna à sa place.
And Jehoiachin, his son, reigned in his place.
7 Et le roi d'Égypte ne sortit plus de sa contrée, parce que, depuis le torrent d'Égypte jusqu'à l'Euphrate, le roi de Babylone avait pris tout ce qui appartenait à l'Égyptien.
And the king of Egypt no longer continued to go out from his own land. For the king of Babylon had taken all that had belonged to the king of Egypt, from the river of Egypt as far as the river Euphrates.
8 Joachim avait dix-huit ans quand il monta sur le trône, et il régna trois mois à Jérusalem; sa mère se nommait Nestha, fille d'Ellanastham, de Jérusalem.
Jehoiachin was eighteen years old when he had begun to reign, and he reigned for three months in Jerusalem. The name of his mother was Nehushta, the daughter of Elnathan, from Jerusalem.
9 Et il fit le mal devant le Seigneur, comme avait fait son père.
And he did evil before the Lord, in accord with all that his father had done.
10 En ce temps-là, Nabuchodonosor, roi de Babylone, marcha sur Jérusalem, et la ville fut investie.
At that time, the servants of Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, ascended against Jerusalem. And the city was encircled with fortifications.
11 Et Nabuchodonosor mit le siège devant la ville, et ses serviteurs la tinrent assiégée.
And Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, went to the city, with his servants, so that he might fight against it.
12 Or, Joachim, roi de Juda, se rendit au roi de Babylone, lui, ses serviteurs, sa mère, ses chefs et ses eunuques; le roi de Babylone le fit captif en la huitième année de son règne.
And Jehoiachin, the king of Judah, went out to the king of Babylon, he, and his mother, and his servants, and his leaders, and his eunuchs. And the king of Babylon received him, in the eighth year of his reign.
13 Et il enleva de Jérusalem tous les trésors du temple du Seigneur et tous les trésors du palais du roi; il brisa tous les vaisseaux d'or qu'avait faits, dans le temple, le roi Salomon, selon la parole du Seigneur.
And he took from there all the treasures of the house of the Lord, and the treasures of the house of the king. And he cut up all the gold vessels which Solomon, the king of Israel, had made for the temple of the Lord, in accord with the word of the Lord.
14 Et il emmena en captivité, au nombre de dix mille, tous les chefs, tous les hommes vaillants, et en outre tous les charpentiers et tous les maçons; il ne resta dans la terre que les indigents.
And he carried away all of Jerusalem, and all the leaders, and all the strong men of the army, ten thousand, into captivity, with every artisan and craftsman. And no one was left behind, except the poor among the people of the land.
15 Il transporta aussi à Babylone, Joachim, la mère du roi, les femmes du roi et ses eunuques; il conduisit tous les riches de la terre de Jérusalem à Babylone,
Also, he carried away Jehoiachin into Babylon, and the mother of the king, and the wives of the king, and his eunuchs. And he led into captivity the judges of the land, from Jerusalem to Babylon,
16 Et tous les hommes dans la force de l'âge au nombre de soixante-dix mille, et mille charpentiers ou maçons, tous faisant la guerre. Le roi Nabuchodonosor les emmena captifs à Babylone.
and all the robust men, seven thousand, and the artisans and craftsman, one thousand: all who were strong men and fit for war. And the king of Babylon led them away as captives, into Babylon.
17 Et il remplaça Joachim par Batthanias, fils de Josias, et il donna à ce roi le nom de Sédécias.
And he appointed Mattaniah, his uncle, in his place. And he imposed the name Zedekiah upon him.
18 Sédécias avait vingt-neuf ans quand il monta sur le trône, et il régna onze ans à Jérusalem; le nom de sa mère était Amital, fille de Jérémie.
Zedekiah held twenty-one years of life when he had begun to reign. And he reigned for eleven years in Jerusalem. The name of his mother was Hamutal, the daughter of Jeremiah, from Libnah.
19 Et il fit le mal devant le Seigneur, comme avait fait Joacin;
And he did evil before the Lord, in accord with all that Jehoiakim had done.
20 Car, telle était la pensée du Seigneur contre Jérusalem et contre Juda, jusqu'à ce qu'il les eut expulsés de devant sa face. Or, Sédécias se révolta contre le roi de Babylone.
For the Lord was angry against Jerusalem and against Judah, until he cast them away from his face. And so Zedekiah withdrew from the king of Babylon.
