Jérémie 35
1 Et la quatrième année de Sédécias, roi de Juda, le cinquième mois, Ananie, fils d'Azor le faux prophète de Gabaon dans le temple du Seigneur, me parla devant les prêtres et devant tout le peuple, disant:
The word which came to Jeremiah from Jehovah in the days of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, saying,
2 Voici ce que dit le Seigneur: J'ai brisé le joug du roi de Babylone;
Go to the house of the Rechabites, and speak to them, and bring them into the house of Jehovah, into one of the chambers, and give them wine to drink.
3 Encore deux ans, et je ramènerai dans ce lieu les vases du temple du Seigneur,
Then I took Jaazaniah the son of Jeremiah, the son of Habazziniah, and his brothers, and all his sons, and the whole house of the Rechabites.
4 Et Jéchonias et les captifs de Juda; car je briserai le joug du roi de Babylone.
And I brought them into the house of Jehovah, into the chamber of the sons of Hanan the son of Igdaliah, the man of God, which was by the chamber of the rulers, which was above the chamber of Maaseiah the son of Shallum, the keeper of the threshold.
5 Et Jérémie répondit à Ananie, devant tout le peuple et devant les prêtres qui se tenaient dans le temple du Seigneur.
And I set before the sons of the house of the Rechabites bowls full of wine, and cups, and I said to them, Drink ye wine.
6 Et Jérémie dit: Puisse réellement le Seigneur faire ainsi, confirmer ce que tu prophétises, ramener les vases du temple et tous les captifs de Babylone en ce lieu!
But they said, We will drink no wine. For Jonadab the son of Rechab, our father, commanded us, saying, Ye shall drink no wine, neither ye, nor your sons, forever.
7 Mais écoutez la parole du Seigneur que je vals dire à vos oreilles, et aux oreilles de tout le peuple:
Neither shall ye build house, nor sow seed, nor plant vineyard, nor have any, but all your days ye shall dwell in tents, that ye may live many days in the land in which ye sojourn.
8 Les prophètes qui ont été avant moi et avant vous, dans tous les siècles, ont prophétisé la guerre à maintes contrées et à maints grands royaumes.
And we have obeyed the voice of Jonadab the son of Rechab, our father, in all that he charged us, to drink no wine all our days, we, our wives, our sons, or our daughters,
9 Quant au prophète qui a prophétisé la paix, lorsque sa parole sera accomplie, on reconnaîtra que c'est un prophète vraiment envoyé du Seigneur.
nor to build houses for us to dwell in. Neither have we vineyard, nor field, nor seed,
10 Et Ananie, aux yeux de tout le peuple, retira du cou de Jérémie son collier et le brisa.
but we have dwelt in tents, and have obeyed, and done according to all that Jonadab our father commanded us.
11 Et Ananie parla devant tout le peuple, disant: Ainsi dit le Seigneur: Voilà comme je briserai le joug du roi de Babylone, en le retirant du cou d'un grand nombre de nations.
But it came to pass, when Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon came up into the land, that we said, Come, and let us go to Jerusalem for fear of the army of the Chaldeans, and for fear of the army of the Syrians. So we dwell at Jerusalem.
12 Et Jérémie s'en alla dans sa voie; et la parole du Seigneur vint à Jérémie, après qu'Ananie eut brisé le collier de son cou, disant:
Then the word of Jehovah came to Jeremiah, saying,
13 Va et parle à Ananie, disant: Ainsi parle le Seigneur: Tu as brisé un collier de bois, je le remplacerai par un collier de fer;
Thus says Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel: Go, and say to the men of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, Will ye not receive instruction to hearken to my words? says Jehovah.
14 Car voici ce que dit le Seigneur: J'ai mis un joug de fer sur le cou de toutes les nations, afin qu'elles travaillent pour le roi de Babylone.
The words of Jonadab the son of Rechab, that he commanded his sons, not to drink wine, are performed. And to this day they drink none, for they obey their father's commandment. But I have spoken to you, rising up early and speaking, and ye have not hearkened to me.
15 Et Jérémie dit à Ananie: Le Seigneur ne t'a pas envoyé, et tu as fait croire à ce peuple ce qui n'est point vrai.
I have also sent to you all my servants the prophets, rising up early and sending them, saying, Return ye now every man from his evil way, and amend your doings, and go not after other gods to serve them, and ye shall dwell in the land which I have given to you and to your fathers. But ye have not inclined your ear, nor hearkened to me.
16 A cause de cela, ainsi dit le Seigneur: Voilà que je t'expulserai de la face de la terre, et cette année tu mourras.
Inasmuch as the sons of Jonadab the son of Rechab have performed the commandment of their father which he commanded them, but this people has not hearkened to me,
17 Et il mourut le septième mois.
therefore thus says Jehovah, the God of hosts, the God of Israel: Behold, I will bring upon Judah and upon all the inhabitants of Jerusalem all the evil that I have pronounced against them, because I have spoken to them, but they have not heard, and I have called to them, but they have not answered.
And Jeremiah said to the house of the Rechabites, Thus says Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel: Because ye have obeyed the commandment of Jonadab your father, and kept all his precepts, and done according to all that he commanded you,
therefore thus says Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel: Jonadab the son of Rechab shall not want a man to stand before me forever.
