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 that hath been unto Jeremiah from Jehovah, in the days of Jehoiakim son of Josiah king of Judah, saying:
2 Voici ce que dit le Seigneur: J'ai brisé le joug du roi de Babylone;
'Go unto the house of the Rechabites, and thou hast spoken with them, and brought them into the house of Jehovah, unto one of the chambers, and caused them to drink wine.'
3 Encore deux ans, et je ramènerai dans ce lieu les vases du temple du Seigneur,
And I take Jaazaniah son of Jeremiah, son of Habazziniah, and his brethren, and all his sons, and all the house of the Rechabites,
4 Et Jéchonias et les captifs de Juda; car je briserai le joug du roi de Babylone.
and bring them into the house of Jehovah, unto the chamber of the sons of Hanan son of Igdaliah, a man of God, that [is] near to the chamber of the princes, that [is] above the chamber of Maaseiah son of Shallum, 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 put before the sons of the house of the Rechabites goblets full of wine, and cups, and I say unto 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!
And they say, 'We do not drink wine: for Jonadab son of Rechab, our father, charged us, saying, Ye do not drink wine, ye and your sons — unto the age;
7 Mais écoutez la parole du Seigneur que je vals dire à vos oreilles, et aux oreilles de tout le peuple:
and a house ye do not build, and seed ye do not sow, and a vineyard ye do not plant, nor have ye any; for in tents do ye dwell all your days, that ye may live many days on the face of the ground whither ye are sojourning.
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 hearken to the voice of Jonadab son of Rechab, our father, to all that he commanded us, not to drink wine all our days, we, our wives, our sons, and 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 our dwelling; and vineyard, and field, and seed, we have none;
10 Et Ananie, aux yeux de tout le peuple, retira du cou de Jérémie son collier et le brisa.
and we dwell in tents, and we hearken, and we do 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.
and it cometh to pass, in the coming up of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon unto the land, that we say, Come, and we enter Jerusalem, because of the force of the Chaldeans, and because of the force of Aram — and we dwell in 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:
And there is a word of Jehovah unto Jeremiah, saying: 'Thus said Jehovah of Hosts, God of Israel:
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;
'Go, and thou hast said to the men of Judah, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem: Do ye not receive instruction? — to hearken unto My words — an affirmation of 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.
Performed have been the words of Jonadab son of Rechab, when he commanded his sons not to drink wine, and they have not drunk unto this day, for they have obeyed the command of their father; and I — I have spoken unto you, rising early and speaking, and ye have not hearkened unto 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.
And I send unto you all My servants the prophets, rising early and sending, saying: Turn back, I pray you, each from his evil way, and amend your doings, yea, ye do not walk after other gods, to serve them, and dwell ye on the ground that I have given to you and to your fathers; and ye have not inclined your ear, nor hearkened unto 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 son of Rechab have performed the command of their father, that he commanded them, and this people have not hearkened unto Me,
17 Et il mourut le septième mois.
therefore thus said Jehovah, God of Hosts, God of Israel: Lo, I am bringing in unto Judah, and unto all inhabitants of Jerusalem, all the evil that I have spoken against them, because I have spoken unto them, and they have not hearkened, yea, I call to them, and they have not answered.'
And to the house of the Rechabites said Jeremiah: 'Thus said Jehovah of Hosts, God of Israel, Because that ye have hearkened unto the command of Jonadab your father, and ye observe all his commands, and do according to all that he commanded you;
therefore, thus said Jehovah of Hosts, God of Israel, Of Jonadab son of Rechab one standing before me is not cut off all the days.'
