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 the LORD 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 the LORD, 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 Habaziniah, 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 the LORD, into the chamber of the sons of Hanan, the son of Igdaliah, a man of God, which was by the chamber of the princes, which was above the chamber of Maaseiah the son of Shallum, the keeper of the door:
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 pots full of wine, and cups, and I said to them, Drink you 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, You shall drink no wine, neither you, nor your sons for ever:
7 Mais écoutez la parole du Seigneur que je vals dire à vos oreilles, et aux oreilles de tout le peuple:
Neither shall you build house, nor sow seed, nor plant vineyard, nor have any: but all your days you shall dwell in tents; that you may live many days in the land where you be strangers.
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.
Thus have we obeyed the voice of Jonadab the son of Rechab our father in all that he has charged us, to drink no wine all our days, we, our wives, our sons, nor 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 dwelled 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 came the word of the LORD 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 the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Go and tell the men of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, Will you not receive instruction to listen to my words? said the LORD.
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; for to this day they drink none, but obey their father’s commandment: notwithstanding I have spoken to you, rising early and speaking; but you listened not 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 sent also to you all my servants the prophets, rising up early and sending them, saying, Return you now every man from his evil way, and amend your doings, and go not after other gods to serve them, and you shall dwell in the land which I have given to you and to your fathers: but you have not inclined your ear, nor listened 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.
Because the sons of Jonadab the son of Rechab have performed the commandment of their father, which he commanded them; but this people has not listened to me:
17 Et il mourut le septième mois.
Therefore thus says the LORD God of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I will bring on Judah and on 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 the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Because you have obeyed the commandment of Jonadab your father, and kept all his precepts, and done according to all that he has commanded you:
Therefore thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Jonadab the son of Rechab shall not want a man to stand before me for ever.
