Jeremiah 35
1 The word which came unto Jeremiah from Yahweh, —in the days of Jehoiakim son of Josiah king of Judah saying:
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:
2 Go unto the house of the Rechabites, and speak with them, and bring them into the house of Yahweh, into one of the chambers, —and give them, wine, to drink.
Voici ce que dit le Seigneur: J'ai brisé le joug du roi de Babylone;
3 So I took Jaazaniah, son of Jeremiah son of Habazziniah, and his brethren, and all his sons, —and all the house of the Rechabites;
Encore deux ans, et je ramènerai dans ce lieu les vases du temple du Seigneur,
4 and brought them into the house of Yahweh, into the chamber of the sons of Hanan son of Igdaliah, a man of God, —which was beside the chamber of the princes, which was above the chamber of Maaseiah son of Shallum keeper of the porch;
Et Jéchonias et les captifs de Juda; car je briserai le joug du roi de Babylone.
5 and I set before the sons of the house of the Rechabites bowls full of wine, and cups, —and said unto them Drink ye wine.
Et Jérémie répondit à Ananie, devant tout le peuple et devant les prêtres qui se tenaient dans le temple du Seigneur.
6 Then said they, —We will not drink wine, —for Jonadab son of Rechab, our father, laid command upon us, saying, Ye shall not drink wine, ye, nor your sons, unto times age-abiding;
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!
7 nor house, shall ye build nor, seed, shall ye sow, nor vineyard, shall ye plant, neither shall ye have them, —but in tents, shall ye dwell, all your days, that ye may live many days on the face of the soil where ye are sojourning.
Mais écoutez la parole du Seigneur que je vals dire à vos oreilles, et aux oreilles de tout le peuple:
8 So we have hearkened unto the voice of Jonadab, son of Rechab, our father, in all that he commanded us, —not to drink wine all our days, we, our wives, our sons nor our daughters;
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.
9 and not to build houses for us to dwell in, —and so, vineyard or field or seed, have we none;
Quant au prophète qui a prophétisé la paix, lorsque sa parole sera accomplie, on reconnaîtra que c'est un prophète vraiment envoyé du Seigneur.
10 but we have dwelt in tents, —and have hearkened and done, according to all that Jonadab our father commanded us.
Et Ananie, aux yeux de tout le peuple, retira du cou de Jérémie son collier et le brisa.
11 And so it came to pass when Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon came up into the land, that we said, —Let us even enter, Jerusalem, because of the force of the Chaldeans and because of the force of the Syrians: So have we dwelt in Jerusalem.
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.
12 Then came the word of Yahweh unto Jeremiah, saying:
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:
13 Thus, saith Yahweh of hosts, God of Israel, Go and say to the men of Judah, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, —Will ye not receive correction by hearkening unto my words? Demandeth Yahweh:
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;
14 Confirmed are the words of Jonadab son of Rechab—which he commanded his sons that they should not drink, wine, and they have not drunk until this day, for they have hearkened unto the command of their father, But, I, have spoken unto you, betimes, speaking, and ye have not hearkened, unto me.
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.
15 And I sent unto you all my servants the prophets, betimes, sending, saying, Return I pray you—every man from his wicked way, And amend your doings, And do not go after other gods to serve them, So shall ye remain on the soil which I gave to you, and to your fathers, —but ye have not inclined your ear, nor hearkened, unto me.
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.
16 Because the sons of Jonadab son of Rechab have, confirmed, the commandment of their father which he commanded them, —whereas, this people, have not hearkened unto me,
A cause de cela, ainsi dit le Seigneur: Voilà que je t'expulserai de la face de la terre, et cette année tu mourras.
17 Therefore, Thus, saith Yahweh, God of hosts, God of Israel, Behold me! bringing in against Judah and against all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, all the calamity, which I have spoken concerning them, —Because I spake unto them and they did not hearken, And I called to them and they did not answer.
Et il mourut le septième mois.
18 But to the house of the Rechabites, said Jeremiah: Thus, saith Yahweh of hosts, God of Israel, Because ye have hearkened unto the commandment of Jonadab your father, and have kept all his commandments, and done according to all that he commanded you
19 Therefore, Thus, saith Yahweh of hosts, God of Israel, —Jonadab son of Rechab shall not want one to stand before me, all the days!
