1 Kings 2
1 And they drew near [the] days of David to die and he commanded Solomon son his saying.
Les jours de David approchant de leur fin, il dicta ses volontés à Salomon, son fils, en ces termes:
2 I [am] about to go in [the] way of all the earth and you will be strong and you will become a man.
"Je suis près d’aller où va toute chose terrestre; prends courage et sois homme!
3 And you will keep [the] charge of - Yahweh God your to walk in ways his to keep statutes his commandments his and judgments his and testimonies his according to [what] is written in [the] law of Moses so that you may cause to prosper all that you will do and every where you will turn there.
Obéis fidèlement à l’Eternel, ton Dieu, en marchant dans ses voies, en observant ses lois, ses préceptes, ses règles et ses statuts, tels qu’ils sont écrits dans la loi de Moïse, afin que tu prospères dans toutes tes œuvres et dans toutes tes entreprises;
4 So that he may establish Yahweh word his which he spoke on me saying if they will guard descendants your way their to walk before me in faithfulness with all heart their and with all being their saying not it will be cut off to you a man from on [the] throne of Israel.
afin que l’Eternel accomplisse la parole qu’il m’a adressée, savoir: "Si tes fils sont attentifs à leur voie, marchant devant moi avec droiture, de tout leur cœur et de toute leur âme, nul des tiens, je te le promets, ne sera enlevé au trône d’Israël."
5 And also you you know [that] which he did to me Joab [the] son of Zeruiah [that] which he did to [the] two [the] commanders of [the] armies of Israel to Abner [the] son of Ner and to Amasa [the] son of Jether and he killed them and he put blood of war in peace and he put blood of war on belt his which [was] on loins his and on sandal[s] his which [was] on feet his.
De plus, tu sais tout ce que m’a fait Joab, fils de Cerouya, ce qu’il a fait aux deux chefs des armées d’Israël, à Abner, fils de Ner, et à Amasa, fils de Yéther, qu’il a assassinés, versant en pleine paix le sang comme dans la guerre, et souillant de ce sang la ceinture de ses reins et la chaussure de ses pieds.
6 And you will act according to wisdom your and not you must bring down grey hair his in peace Sheol. (Sheol h7585)
Agis selon ta prudence et ne laisse point sa vieillesse descendre en paix dans la tombe. (Sheol h7585)
7 And to [the] sons of Barzillai the Gileadite you will do loyalty and they will be among [those who] eat of table your for thus they drew near to me when fled I from before Absalom brother your.
A l’égard des enfants de Barzillaï, le Galaadite, use de bienveillance, et qu’ils soient admis à ta table; car ils m’ont rendu service en venant à moi, lorsque je fuyais devant Absalon, ton frère.
8 And here! [is] with you Shimei [the] son of Gera [the] Ben-jaminite from Bahurim and he he cursed me a curse grievous on [the] day went I Mahanaim and he he came down to meet me the Jordan and I swore to him by Yahweh saying if I will put to death you by the sword.
Tu as aussi dans ton entourage Séméi, fils de Ghêra, le Benjamite, de Bahourim: celui-là m’accabla des plus cruels outrages lorsque je me retirai à Mahanaïm. Mais il descendit au-devant de moi vers le Jourdain, et je lui jurai par l’Eternel que je ne le ferai point périr par le glaive.
9 And therefore may not you leave unpunished him for [are] a man wise you and you will know [that] which you will do to him and you will bring down grey hair his in blood Sheol. (Sheol h7585)
Eh bien! Ne le laisse point impuni, car tu es un homme avisé; tu sauras comment en user avec lui, et tu feras descendre, ensanglantée, sa vieillesse dans la tombe." (Sheol h7585)
10 And he lay down David with ancestors his and he was buried in [the] city of David.
David s’endormit avec ses pères, et il fut, enseveli dans la cité de David.
11 And the days which he reigned David over Israel [were] forty year[s] in Hebron he reigned seven years and in Jerusalem he reigned thirty and three years.
Le temps que David régna sur Israël fut de quarante années: Il régna à Hébron sept années, et trente-trois ans à Jérusalem.
12 And Solomon he sat on [the] throne of David father his and it was established reign his exceedingly.
Salomon s’assit sur le trône de David, son père, et sa royauté fut très solidement établie.
13 And he came Adonijah [the] son of Haggith to Bath-sheba [the] mother of Solomon and she said ¿ peace [are] coming you and he said peace.
Or, Adonias, fils de Hagghit, vint trouver Bethsabée, la mère de Salomon. Elle lui demanda: "Ta visite est-elle pacifique? Oui," répondit-il.
14 And he said a word [belongs] to me to you and she said speak.
Il ajouta: "J’Ai à te parler." Elle répondit: "Parle.
15 And he said you you know that to me it belonged the kingship and on me they set all Israel faces their to become king and it has turned round the kingship and it has belonged to brother my for from Yahweh it belonged to him.
Tu le sais, dit-il, la royauté me revenait, et tous les Israélites avaient jeté les yeux sur moi pour l’occuper; mais elle m’a échappé pour passer à mon frère, le Seigneur la lui ayant conférée.
16 And now a petition one I [am] asking from with you may not you turn away face my and she said to him speak.
Et maintenant, j’ai une prière à t’adresser; ne m’éconduis point. Parle." dit-elle.
17 And he said speak please to Solomon the king for not he will turn away face your so he may give to me Abishag the Shunammite to a wife.
Il reprit: "Veuille demander au roi Salomon, qui ne t’éconduira pas, qu’il me donne pour femme Abisag, la Sunamite.
18 And she said Bath-sheba good I I will speak on you to the king.
Bien, répondit Bethsabée; je parlerai pour toi au roi."
19 And she went Bath-sheba to the king Solomon to speak to him on Adonijah and he rose the king to meet her and he bowed down to her and he sat on throne his and he placed a throne for [the] mother of the king and she sat to right [hand] his.
Et Bethsabée alla chez le roi Salomon pour lui parler en faveur d’Adonias. Le roi se leva à sa rencontre et se prosterna devant elle, puis s’assit sur son trône et offrit un siège à sa mère, qui s’assit à sa droite,
20 And she said a petition one small I [am] asking from with you may not you turn away face my and he said to her the king ask O mother my for not I will turn away face your.
et dit: "J’Ai une petite demande à t’adresser, ne me refuse point. Demande, ma mère, répondit le roi, je ne te refuserai pas.
21 And she said let it be given Abishag the Shunammite to Adonijah brother your to a wife.
Accorde, dit-elle, Abisag, la Sunamite, pour épouse à ton frère Adonias."
22 And he answered the king Solomon and he said to mother his and why? [are] you asking Abishag the Shunammite for Adonijah and ask for him the kingship for he [is] brother my old more than me and for him and for Abiathar the priest and for Joab [the] son of Zeruiah.
Le roi Salomon répondit à sa mère: "Pourquoi demandes-tu Abisag, la Sunamite, pour Adonias? Que ne demandes-tu pour lui la royauté, puisqu’il est mon frère aîné; pour lui, dis-je, et pour le prêtre Ebiathar, et pour Joab, fils de Cerouya?"
23 And he swore an oath the king Solomon by Yahweh saying thus may he do to me God and thus may he add if by own life his he has spoken Adonijah the word this.
Et le roi Salomon jura par le Seigneur en disant: "Dieu m’en fasse autant et plus, si cette parole d’Adonias ne lui coûte pas la vie!
24 And therefore [by] [the] life of Yahweh who he appointed me (and he made sit me *Qk) on [the] throne of David father my and who he has made for me a house just as he spoke that this day he will be put to death Adonijah.
Oui, par le Dieu vivant, qui m’a consolidé et établi, sur le trône de David, mon père, qui m’a fondé une maison comme il l’avait promis, oui, Adonias mourra aujourd’hui!"
25 And he sent the king Solomon by [the] hand of Benaiah [the] son of Jehoiada and he fell on him and he died.
Le roi Salomon en donna mission à Benaïahou, fils de Joïada, qui le frappa à mort.
26 And to Abiathar the priest he said the king Anathoth go to fields your for [are] a man of death you and on the day this not I will put to death you for you carried [the] ark of [the] Lord Yahweh before David father my and for you were afflicted in all that he was afflicted father my.
Pour le prêtre Ebiathar, le roi lui dit: "Va-t’en à Anatot, dans tes terres, car tu es passible de mort; mais aujourd’hui je ne te ferai point mourir, parce que tu as porté l’arche du Seigneur Elohim devant David, mon père, et parce que tu as partagé toutes ses tribulations."
27 And he drove out Solomon Abiathar from being a priest of Yahweh to fulfill [the] word of Yahweh which he had spoken on [the] house of Eli in Shiloh.
Salomon chassa ainsi Ebiathar du sacerdoce de l’Eternel, pour accomplir la parole prononcée par l’Eternel sur la maison d’Héli, à Silo.
28 And the report it came to Joab for Joab he had turned aside after Adonijah and after Absalom not he had turned aside and he fled Joab to [the] tent of Yahweh and he took hold on [the] horns of the altar.
La nouvelle étant parvenue jusqu’à Joab, qui avait suivi le parti d’Adonias, bien qu’il n’eût pas suivi celui d’Absalon, il se réfugia dans le tabernacle du Seigneur, où il embrassa les cornes de l’autel.
29 And it was told to the king Solomon that he had fled Joab to [the] tent of Yahweh and there! [he was] beside the altar and he sent Solomon Benaiah [the] son of Jehoiada saying go fall on him.
Le roi Salomon fut informé que Joab s’était réfugié dans le tabernacle et se trouvait près de l’autel. Et Salomon dit à Benaïahou, fils de Joïada: "Va, et frappe-le."
30 And he went Benaiah to [the] tent of Yahweh and he said to him thus he says the king come out and he said - In-deed here I will die and he brought back Benaiah the king word saying thus he spoke Joab and thus he answered me.
Benaïahou entra dans le tabernacle et lui dit: "Le roi t’ordonne de sortir. Non, répondit-il, c’est ici que je mourrai." Benaïahou rapporta la chose au roi, en disant: "Ainsi a parlé Joab et ainsi m’a-t-il répondu."
31 And he said to him the king do just as he has spoken and fall on him and you will bury him and you will remove - blood of without cause which he has shed Joab from on me and from on [the] house of father my.
Le roi lui dit: "Fais ce qu’il a dit lui-même, tue-le, puis tu le feras enterrer. Tu écarteras ainsi de moi et de ma famille la tache du sang innocent répandu par Joab.
32 And he will bring back Yahweh blood his on head his who he fell on two men righteous and good more than him and he killed them with the sword and father my David not he knew Abner [the] son of Ner [the] commander of [the] army of Israel and Amasa [the] son of Jether [the] commander of [the] army of Judah.
Ce sang, Dieu le fera retomber sur sa tête, à lui qui a frappé, qui a fait périr par l’épée, à l’insu de mon père David, deux hommes de bien qui valaient mieux que lui: Abner, fils de Ner, chef de l’armée d’Israël, et Amasa, fils de Yéther, chef de l’armée de Juda.
33 And they will return blood their on [the] head of Joab and on [the] head of offspring his for ever and to David and to offspring his and to house his and to throne his it will belong peace until perpetuity from with Yahweh.
Oui, leur sang retombera sur la tête de Joab et sur celle de sa postérité à jamais, tandis que David et sa postérité, sa maison et son trône, seront à jamais prospères de par l’Eternel."
34 And he went up Benaiah [the] son of Jehoiada and he fell on him and he put to death him and he was buried in own house his in the wilderness.
Benaïahou, fils de Joïada, monta près de Joab, se jeta sur lui et le tua. On l’enterra dans sa maison, sise au désert.
35 And he put the king Benaiah [the] son of Jehoiada in place of him over the army and Zadok the priest he put the king in place of Abiathar.
Le roi le remplaça par Benaïahou, fils de Joïada, comme chef de l’armée, et établit le pontife Çadok à la place d’Ebiathar.
36 And he sent the king and he summoned Shimei and he said to him build for yourself a house in Jerusalem and you will dwell there and not you must go out from there where? and where?
Le roi fit ensuite appeler Séméi et lui dit: "Edifie-toi à Jérusalem une maison où tu demeureras, et tu ne la quitteras pas pour aller de côté et d’autre.
37 And it will be - on [the] day going out you and you will pass over [the] wadi of Kidron certainly you will know that certainly you will die blood your it will be on own head your.
Le jour où tu en sortiras, où tu franchiras le torrent de Cédron, sache bien que tu mourras, et que tu seras l’auteur de ta perte.
38 And he said Shimei to the king [is] good the word just as he has spoken lord my the king so he will do servant your and he dwelt Shimei in Jerusalem days many.
Séméi répondit au roi: "C’Est bien; comme a parlé mon seigneur le roi, ainsi fera ton serviteur." Et Séméi demeura de longs jours à Jérusalem.
39 And it was from [the] end of three years and they fled two servants of Shimei to Achish [the] son of Maacah [the] king of Gath and people told to Shimei saying there! servants your [are] in Gath.
Or, il advint, au bout de trois ans, que deux esclaves s’enfuirent de chez Séméi auprès d’Akhich, fils de Maakha, roi de Gath. On l’apprit à Séméi en disant: "Tes esclaves sont à Gath."
40 And he arose Shimei and he saddled donkey his and he went Gath towards to Achish to seek servants his and he went Shimei and he brought servants his from Gath.
Séméi se leva, sangla son âne et alla à Gath chez Akhich, pour reprendre ses esclaves; après quoi il se remit en route et les ramena de Gath.
41 And it was told to Solomon that he had gone Shimei from Jerusalem Gath and he had returned.
Or, on apprit à Salomon que Séméi était allé de Jérusalem à Gath et en était revenu.
42 And he sent the king and he summoned Shimei and he said to him ¿ not did I make swear you by Yahweh and did I warn? you saying on [the] day going out you and you will go where? and where? certainly you will know that certainly you will die and you said to me [is] good the word I have heard.
Le roi envoya appeler Séméi et lui dit: "Ne t’avais-je pas adjuré par l’Eternel et averti solennellement en disant: Le jour où tu sortiras de la ville et t’en iras d’un côté ou de l’autre, sache que tu encours la mort; et ne m’as-tu pas répondu: C’Est bien, j’ai compris?
43 And why? not have you kept [the] oath of Yahweh and the command which I commanded to you.
Pourquoi donc n’as-tu pas respecté ce serment de l’Eternel et la défense que je t’avais faite?"
44 And he said the king to Shimei you you know all the evil which it knows heart your which you did to David father my and he will return Yahweh evil your on head your.
Le roi dit encore à Séméi: "Tu sais toi-même tout le mal que tu as fait sciemment à David, mon père. Ce mal, le Seigneur va le faire retomber sur ta tête,
45 And the king Solomon [will be] blessed and [the] throne of David it will be established before Yahweh until perpetuity.
tandis que le roi Salomon est béni, et que le trône de David sera affermi à jamais devant l’Eternel!"
46 And he commanded the king Benaiah [the] son of Jehoiada and he went out and he fell on him and he died and the kingdom it was established in [the] hand of Solomon.
Sur l’ordre du roi, Benaïahou, fils de Joïada, alla le frapper et il mourut; et la royauté fut consolidée entre les mains de Salomon.
