Jérémie 52
1 Sédécias avait vingt et un ans quand il monta sur le trône, et il régna onze ans à Jérusalem, et sa mère s'appelait Amitaal, et elle était fille de Jérémie, de Lobna.
Sedecias was one and twenty years old when he began to reign: and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem: and the name of his mother was Amital, the daughter of Jeremias of Lobna.
And he did that which was evil in the eyes of the Lord, according to all that Joakim had done.
For the wrath of the Lord was against Jerusalem, and against Juda, till he cast them out from his presence: and Sedecias revolted from the king of Babylon.
4 Dans la neuvième année de son règne, le neuvième année, le dixième jour du mois, Nabuchodonosor, roi de Babylone, vint avec toutes ses forces vers Jérusalem, et ils l'entourèrent de retranchements, et ils bâtirent alentour un mur en grandes pierres de taille.
And it came to pass in the ninth year of his reign, in the tenth month, the tenth day of the month, that Nabuchodonosor the king of Babylon came, he and all his army, against Jerusalem, and they besieged it, and built forts against it round about.
5 Et la ville fut investie jusqu'à la onzième année du règne de Sédécias,
And the city was besieged until the eleventh year of king Sedecias.
6 Jusqu'au neuvième jour du mois; et alors la famine prévalut dans la cité, et il n'y avait plus de pain pour le peuple de la terre.
And in the fourth month, the ninth day of the month, a famine overpowered the city: and there was no food for the people of the land.
7 Une brèche fut faite aux murailles; les hommes de guerre sortirent de nuit par le chemin de la porte, entre les remparts et les forts avancés qu'on avait élevés près du jardin du roi; et les Chaldéens entouraient le reste de la ville, et les fugitifs prirent la route d'Araba.
And the city was broken up, and the men of war fled, and went out of the city in the night by the way of the gate that is between the two walls, and leadeth to the king’s garden, (the Chaldeans besieging the city round about, ) sad they went by the way that leadeth to the wilderness.
8 Et l'armée des Chaldéens les poursuivit, et ils prirent le roi auprès de Jéricho, et tous ses serviteurs s'étaient dispersés loin de lui.
But the army of the Chaldeans pursued after the king: and they overtook Sedecias in the desert which is near Jericho: and all his companions were scattered from him.
9 Les Chaldéens firent donc le roi captif et ils le menèrent au roi de Babylone, à Déblatha, et Nabuchodonosor prononça contre lui son arrêt.
And when they had taken the king, they carried him to the king of Babylon to Reblatha, which is in the land of Emath: and he gave judgment upon him.
10 Et il égorgea les fils de Sédécias sous ses yeux, et il égorgea tous les princes de Juda en Déblatha.
And the king of Babylon slew the sons of Sedecias before his eyes: and he slew all the princes of Juda in Reblatha.
11 Et il arracha les yeux de Sédécias; puis, après l'avoir chargé de chaînes, il l'emmena à Babylone; là il le mit avec les esclaves qui tournaient la meule, jusqu'au jour où il mourut.
And he put out the eyes of Sedecias, and bound him with fetters, and the king of Babylon brought him into Babylon, and he put him in prison till the day of his death.
12 Et le cinquième mois, le sixième jour du mois, Nabuzardan, chef des cuisines, qui se tenait devant le roi de Babylone, marcha sur Jérusalem.
And in the fifth month, the tenth day of the month, the same is the nineteenth year of Nabuchodonosor, king of Babylon, came Nabuzardan the general of the army, who stood before the king of Babylon in Jerusalem.
13 Et il livra aux flammes le temple du Seigneur, le palais du roi et toutes les maisons de la ville, et il mit le feu à toutes les grandes maisons.
And he burnt the house of the Lord, and the king’s house, and all the houses of Jerusalem, and every great house he burnt with fire.
14 Et l'armée des Chaldéens qui étaient avec le chef des cuisines rasa les remparts dont la ville était entourée.
And all the army of the Chaldeans that were with the general broke down all the wall of Jerusalem round about.
But Nabuzardan the general carried away captives some of the poor people, and of the rest of the common sort who remained in the city, and of the fugitives that were fled over to the king of Babylon, and the rest of the multitude.
16 Mais Nabuzardan y laissa les restes du peuple, pour être vignerons et laboureurs.
But of the poor of the land, Nabuzardan the general left some for vinedressers, and for husbandmen.
17 Et les Chaldéens brisèrent les colonnes d'airain et leurs bases et la mer d'airain qui étaient dans le temple du Seigneur, et ils en emportèrent le métal à Babylone,
The Chaldeans also broke in pieces the brazen pillars that were in the house of the Lord, and the bases, and the sea of brass that was in the house of the Lord: and they carried all the brass of them to Babylon.
18 Avec les couronnes, les coupes et les chaudières, et tous les vases d'airain employés au service du temple.
And they took the caldrons, and the fleshhooks, and the psalteries, and the bowls, and the little mortars, and all the brazen vessels that had been used in the ministry: and
19 Et il prit aussi les cassolettes et les bassins, et les vases à verser de l'huile, et les chandeliers, et les encensoirs, et les coupes, qui étaient les unes d'or, les autres d'argent;
The general took away the pitchers, and the censers, and the pots, and the basins, and the candlesticks, and the mortars, and the cups: as many as were of gold, in gold: and as many as were of silver, in silver:
20 Et les deux colonnes, et la mer, et les douze bœufs d'airain sous la mer, qu'avait faits le roi Salomon pour le temple du Seigneur. On ne sut pas le poids des vases d'airain.
And the two pillars, and one sea, and twelve oxen of brass that were under the bases, which king Solomon had made in the house of the Lord: there was no weight of the brass of all these vessels.
21 Et les colonnes étaient hautes chacune de trente-cinq coudées, et elles étaient, entourées de chaînes longues de douze coudées, épaisses de quatre doigts.
And concerning the pillars, one pillar was eighteen cubits high: and a cord of twelve cubits compassed it about: but the thickness thereof was four fingers, and it was hollow within.
22 Et leurs chapiteaux d'airain avaient cinq coudées de haut, et elles étaient entourées d'un filet et de grenades d'airain, et il y avait huit grenades par coudée, et il y avait douze coudées,
And chapiters of brass were upon both: and the height of one chapiter was five cubits: and network, and pomegranates were upon the chapiters round about, all of brass. The same of the second pillar, and the pomegranates.
23 Et il y avait quatre-vingt-seize grenades sur les côtés, et il y avait en tout cent grenades sur le filet tout autour.
And there were ninety-six pomegranates hanging down: and the pomegranates being a hundred in all, were compassed with network.
24 Et Nabuzardan prit le premier prêtre, puis le second et les trois gardiens de la voie,
And the general took Saraias the chief priest, and Sophonias the second priest, and the three keepers of the entry.
25 Et un eunuque, chef des gens de guerre, et sept hommes distingués se tenant devant le roi, qui se trouvaient dans la ville, et le scribe des armées, chargé des écritures du peuple de la terre, et soixante hommes de la campagne qui se trouvaient dans la ville.
He also took out of the city one eunuch that was chief over the men of war: and seven men of them that were near the king’s person, that were found in the city: and a scribe, an officer of the army who exercised the young soldiers: and threescore men of the people of the land, that were found in the midst of the city.
26 Et Nabuzardan, cuisinier en chef du roi, les prit et les conduisit au roi de Babylone à Déblatha.
And Nabuzardan the general took them, and brought them to the king of Babylon, to Reblatha.
27 Et le roi les fit mettre à mort à Déblatha, en la terre d'Émath.
And the king of Babylon struck them, and put them to death in Reblatha, in the land of Emath: and Juda was carried away captive out of his land.
This is the people whom Nabuchodonosor carried away captive: in the seventh year, three thousand and twenty-three Jews.
In the eighteenth year of Nabuchodonosor, eight hundred and thirty-two souls from Jerusalem.
In the three and twentieth year of Nabuchodonosor, Nabuzardan the general carried away of the Jews seven hundred and forty-five souls. So all the souls were four thousand six hundred.
31 En la trente-septième année de la captivité de Joakim, roi de Juda, le douzième mois, le vingt-troisième jour du mois, Ulémadachar, roi de Babylone, l'année même où il monta sur le trône, prit la tête de Joakim et lui coupa les cheveux, et le fit sortir de la maison où il était gardé,
And it came to pass in the seven and thirtieth year of the captivity of Joachin king of Juda, in the twelfth month, the five and twentieth day of the month, that Evilmerodach king of Babylon, in the first year of his reign, lifted up the head of Joachin king of Juda, and brought him forth out of prison.
32 Et il lui parla avec douceur, et il lui donna un trône plus élevé que les trônes des autres rois qui l'entouraient à Babylone.
And he spoke kindly to him, and he set his throne above the thrones of the kings that were with him in Babylon.
33 Et il lui fit changer la robe qu'il avait en prison; et il le fit manger en sa présence tous les jours qu'il vécut.
And he changed his prison garments, and he ate bread before him always all the days of his life.
34 Et tous les jours, jusqu'à ce qu'il mourût, il régla constamment toute sa dépense.
And for his diet a continual provision was allowed him by the king of Babylon, every day a portion, until the day of his death, all the days of his life.
