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.
Zedekiah was twenty-one years old when he began to reign. He reigned eleven years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Hamutal the daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah.
He did that which was evil in the LORD’s sight, according to all that Jehoiakim had done.
For through the LORD’s anger this happened in Jerusalem and Judah, until he had cast them out from his presence. Zedekiah rebelled against 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.
In the ninth year of his reign, in the tenth month, in the tenth day of the month, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came, he and all his army, against Jerusalem, and encamped against it; and they built forts against it round about.
5 Et la ville fut investie jusqu'à la onzième année du règne de Sédécias,
So the city was besieged to the eleventh year of King Zedekiah.
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.
In the fourth month, in the ninth day of the month, the famine was severe in the city, so that there was no bread 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.
Then a breach was made in the city, and all the men of war fled, and went out of the city by night by the way of the gate between the two walls, which was by the king’s garden. Now the Chaldeans were against the city all around. The men of war went toward the Arabah,
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 the king, and overtook Zedekiah in the plains of Jericho; and all his army was 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.
Then they took the king, and carried him up to the king of Babylon to Riblah in the land of Hamath; and he pronounced judgment on him.
10 Et il égorgea les fils de Sédécias sous ses yeux, et il égorgea tous les princes de Juda en Déblatha.
The king of Babylon killed the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes. He also killed all the princes of Judah in Riblah.
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.
He put out the eyes of Zedekiah; and the king of Babylon bound him in fetters, and carried him to Babylon, and put him in prison until 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.
Now in the fifth month, in the tenth day of the month, which was the nineteenth year of King Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard, who stood before the king of Babylon, came into 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.
He burned the LORD’s house, and the king’s house; and all the houses of Jerusalem, even every great house, he burned with fire.
14 Et l'armée des Chaldéens qui étaient avec le chef des cuisines rasa les remparts dont la ville était entourée.
All the army of the Chaldeans, who were with the captain of the guard, broke down all the walls of Jerusalem all around.
Then Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard carried away captive of the poorest of the people, and the rest of the people who were left in the city, and those who fell away, who defected 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 Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard left of the poorest of the land to be vineyard keepers and farmers.
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 broke the pillars of bronze that were in the LORD’s house and the bases and the bronze sea that were in the LORD’s house in pieces, and carried all of their bronze to Babylon.
18 Avec les couronnes, les coupes et les chaudières, et tous les vases d'airain employés au service du temple.
They also took away the pots, the shovels, the snuffers, the basins, the spoons, and all the vessels of bronze with which they ministered.
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 captain of the guard took away the cups, the fire pans, the basins, the pots, the lamp stands, the spoons, and the bowls; that which was of gold, as gold, and that which was of silver, as 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.
They took the two pillars, the one sea, and the twelve bronze bulls that were under the bases, which King Solomon had made for the LORD’s house. The bronze of all these vessels was without weight.
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.
As for the pillars, the height of the one pillar was eighteen cubits; and a line of twelve cubits encircled it; and its thickness was four fingers. It was hollow.
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,
A capital of bronze was on it; and the height of the one capital was five cubits, with network and pomegranates on the capital all around, all of bronze. The second pillar also had the same, with 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.
There were ninety-six pomegranates on the sides; all the pomegranates were one hundred on the network all around.
24 Et Nabuzardan prit le premier prêtre, puis le second et les trois gardiens de la voie,
The captain of the guard took Seraiah the chief priest, and Zephaniah the second priest, and the three keepers of the threshold,
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.
and out of the city he took an officer who was set over the men of war; and seven men of those who saw the king’s face, who were found in the city; and the scribe of the captain of the army, who mustered the people of the land; and sixty men of the people of the land, who were found in the middle of the city.
26 Et Nabuzardan, cuisinier en chef du roi, les prit et les conduisit au roi de Babylone à Déblatha.
Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard took them, and brought them to the king of Babylon to Riblah.
27 Et le roi les fit mettre à mort à Déblatha, en la terre d'Émath.
The king of Babylon struck them, and put them to death at Riblah in the land of Hamath. So Judah was carried away captive out of his land.
This is the number of the people whom Nebuchadnezzar carried away captive: in the seventh year, three thousand twenty-three Jews;
in the eighteenth year of Nebuchadnezzar, he carried away captive from Jerusalem eight hundred thirty-two persons;
in the twenty-third year of Nebuchadnezzar, Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard carried away captive of the Jews seven hundred forty-five people. All the people numbered 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,
In the thirty-seventh year of the captivity of Jehoiachin king of Judah, in the twelfth month, in the twenty-fifth day of the month, Evilmerodach king of Babylon, in the first year of his reign, lifted up the head of Jehoiachin king of Judah, and released him from 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.
He spoke kindly to him, and set his throne above the throne of the kings who 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 changed his prison garments. Jehoiachin ate bread before him continually all the days of his life.
34 Et tous les jours, jusqu'à ce qu'il mourût, il régla constamment toute sa dépense.
For his allowance, there was a continual allowance given him by the king of Babylon, every day a portion until the day of his death, all the days of his life.
