2 Kings 15
1 After Jeroboam had been ruling Israel for almost twenty-seven years, Uzziah, the son of King Amaziah of Judah, began to rule.
La vingt-septième année de Jéroboam, roi d’Israël, Azaria, fils d’Amatsia, roi de Juda, régna.
2 He was 16 years old when he started to rule, and he ruled in Jerusalem for 52 years. His mother was Jecoliah, from Jerusalem.
Il avait seize ans lorsqu’il devint roi, et il régna cinquante-deux ans à Jérusalem. Sa mère s’appelait Jecolia, de Jérusalem.
3 He did things that Yahweh was pleased with, like his father Amaziah had done.
Il fit ce qui est droit aux yeux de l’Éternel, entièrement comme avait fait Amatsia, son père.
4 But, the places at the pagan shrines where they worshiped Yahweh were not destroyed, and the people continued to burn incense [to honor Yahweh] at those places [instead of in Jerusalem, the place that Yahweh had appointed].
Seulement, les hauts lieux ne disparurent point; le peuple offrait encore des sacrifices et des parfums sur les hauts lieux.
5 Yahweh caused Uzziah to become a leper, and he was a leper for the rest of his life. [He was not allowed to live in the palace]. He lived alone in a house, and his son Jotham ruled the country.
L’Éternel frappa le roi, qui fut lépreux jusqu’au jour de sa mort et demeura dans une maison écartée. Et Jotham, fils du roi, était à la tête de la maison et jugeait le peuple du pays.
6 [If you want to know about] everything else that Uzziah did, it is written [RHQ] in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Judah’.
Le reste des actions d’Azaria, et tout ce qu’il a fait, cela n’est-il pas écrit dans le livre des Chroniques des rois de Juda?
7 Uzziah died [EUP], and they buried him in [the part of Jerusalem called] ‘The City of David’, where his ancestors had been buried. Then his son Jotham officially became the king.
Azaria se coucha avec ses pères, et on l’enterra avec ses pères dans la ville de David. Et Jotham, son fils, régna à sa place.
8 After Uzziah had been ruling Judah for almost thirty-eight years, Zechariah, the son of Jeroboam, became the king of Israel. He ruled in Samaria [city] for [only] six months.
La trente-huitième année d’Azaria, roi de Juda, Zacharie, fils de Jéroboam, régna sur Israël à Samarie. Il régna six mois.
9 He did many things that Yahweh considered to be evil, like his ancestors had done. He committed the same kind of sins that Jeroboam had committed, sins which led the Israeli people to sin.
Il fit ce qui est mal aux yeux de l’Éternel, comme avaient fait ses pères; il ne se détourna point des péchés de Jéroboam, fils de Nebath, qui avait fait pécher Israël.
10 Then Shallum, the son of Jabesh, made plans to assassinate Zechariah. He killed him at Ibleam [town], and then he became the king.
Schallum, fils de Jabesch, conspira contre lui, le frappa devant le peuple, et le fit mourir; et il régna à sa place.
11 Everything else that Zechariah did is written in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Israel’.
Le reste des actions de Zacharie, cela est écrit dans le livre des Chroniques des rois d’Israël.
12 When Zechariah died, [that ended the dynasty of King Jehu]. That fulfilled what Yahweh said to King Jehu would happen: “Your son and grandson and great-grandson and great-great-grandson will all be kings of Israel.”
Ainsi s’accomplit ce que l’Éternel avait déclaré à Jéhu, en disant: Tes fils jusqu’à la quatrième génération seront assis sur le trône d’Israël.
13 Shallum, the son of Jabesh, became the king of Israel after King Uzziah had been ruling Judah for almost thirty-nine years. But Shallum ruled in Samaria for [only] one month.
Schallum, fils de Jabesch, régna la trente-neuvième année d’Ozias, roi de Juda. Il régna pendant un mois à Samarie.
14 Then Menahem, the son of Gadi, went up from Tirzah [city] to Samaria and assassinated Shallum. Then Menahem became the king of Israel.
Menahem, fils de Gadi, monta de Thirtsa et vint à Samarie, frappa dans Samarie Schallum, fils de Jabesch, et le fit mourir; et il régna à sa place.
15 Everything else that Shallum did, including his killing King Zechariah, is written in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Israel’.
Le reste des actions de Schallum, et la conspiration qu’il forma, cela est écrit dans le livre des Chroniques des rois d’Israël.
16 While Menahem was ruling in Samaria, he completely destroyed Tappuah [village south of Samaria] and killed all the people who lived there and in the surrounding territory. He did that because the people in that city refused to surrender to him. [With his sword] he even ripped open the bellies of pregnant women.
Alors Menahem frappa Thiphsach et tous ceux qui y étaient, avec son territoire depuis Thirtsa; il la frappa parce qu’elle n’avait pas ouvert ses portes, et il fendit le ventre de toutes les femmes enceintes.
17 When King Azariah had been ruling Judah for almost thirty-nine years, Menahem, the son of Gadi, became the king of Israel. He ruled in Samaria for ten years.
La trente-neuvième année d’Azaria, roi de Juda, Menahem, fils de Gadi, régna sur Israël. Il régna dix ans à Samarie.
18 He did many things that Yahweh considered to be evil. He committed the same kinds of sins that King Jeroboam had committed, sins that led the people of Israel to sin. He continued to commit those sins for the rest of his life.
Il fit ce qui est mal aux yeux de l’Éternel; il ne se détourna point, tant qu’il vécut, des péchés de Jéroboam, fils de Nebath, qui avait fait pécher Israël.
19 Then King Tiglath-Pileser of Assyria came [with his army] to attack Israel. So Menahem gave him (thirty-eight tons/35,000 kg.) of silver in order that Tiglath-Pileser would help Menahem to continue to be king and rule his country more strongly.
Pul, roi d’Assyrie, vint dans le pays; et Menahem donna à Pul mille talents d’argent, pour qu’il l’aidât à affermir la royauté entre ses mains.
20 Menahem obtained that money from the rich men in Israel. He compelled each of them to contribute 50 pieces of silver. So Tiglath-Pileser [took that money and] went back home.
Menahem leva cet argent sur tous ceux d’Israël qui avaient de la richesse, afin de le donner au roi d’Assyrie; il les taxa chacun à cinquante sicles d’argent. Le roi d’Assyrie s’en retourna, et ne s’arrêta pas alors dans le pays.
21 [If you want to know more about] everything that Menahem did, it is written [RHQ] in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Israel’.
Le reste des actions de Menahem, et tout ce qu’il a fait, cela n’est-il pas écrit dans le livre des Chroniques des rois d’Israël?
22 Menahem died [EUP] and was buried, and his son Pekahiah became the king of Israel.
Menahem se coucha avec ses pères. Et Pekachia, son fils, régna à sa place.
23 When King Uzziah had been ruling Judah for almost 50 years, Menahem’s son Pekahiah became the king of Israel. He ruled in Samaria for [only] two years.
La cinquantième année d’Azaria, roi de Juda, Pekachia, fils de Menahem, régna sur Israël à Samarie. Il régna deux ans.
24 He did many things that Yahweh considered to be evil. He committed the same kind of sins that King Jeroboam had committed, sins which led the people of Israel to sin.
Il fit ce qui est mal aux yeux de l’Éternel; il ne se détourna point des péchés de Jéroboam, fils de Nebath, qui avait fait pécher Israël.
25 Then one of Pekahiah’s army commanders whose name was Pekah, the son of Remaliah, planned with 50 men from [the] Gilead [region] to kill Pekahiah. They assassinated him in a fortified place in the king’s palace in Samaria. Then Pekah became the king.
Pékach, fils de Remalia, son officier, conspira contre lui; il le frappa à Samarie, dans le palais de la maison du roi, de même qu’Argob et Arié; il avait avec lui cinquante hommes d’entre les fils des Galaadites. Il fit ainsi mourir Pekachia, et il régna à sa place.
26 Everything else that Pekahiah did is written in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Israel’.
Le reste des actions de Pekachia, et tout ce qu’il a fait, cela est écrit dans le livre des Chroniques des rois d’Israël.
27 When King Uzziah had been ruling Judah for almost 52 years, Pekah, the son of Remaliah, became the king of Israel. He ruled in Samaria for 20 years.
La cinquante-deuxième année d’Azaria, roi de Juda, Pékach, fils de Remalia, régna sur Israël à Samarie. Il régna vingt ans.
28 He also did many things that Yahweh considered to be evil. He committed the same kind of sins that King Jeroboam had committed, sins that led the people of Israel to sin.
Il fit ce qui est mal aux yeux de l’Éternel; il ne se détourna point des péchés de Jéroboam, fils de Nebath, qui avait fait pécher Israël.
29 While Pekah was the king, Tiglath-Pileser, the king of Assyria, came [with his army] and captured [the cities of] Ijon, Abel-Beth-Maacah, Janoah, Kedesh, Hazor, and the regions of Gilead, Galilee, and Naphtali. His army forced the Israeli people to leave their country and go to live in Assyria.
Du temps de Pékach, roi d’Israël, Tiglath-Piléser, roi d’Assyrie, vint et prit Ijjon, Abel-Beth-Maaca, Janoach, Kédesch, Hatsor, Galaad et la Galilée, tout le pays de Nephthali, et il emmena captifs les habitants en Assyrie.
30 Then Hoshea, the son of Elah, plotted to kill Pekah. He assassinated him when Uzziah’s son Jotham had been ruling Judah for almost 20 years. Then Hoshea became the king of Israel.
Osée, fils d’Éla, forma une conspiration contre Pékach, fils de Remalia, le frappa et le fit mourir; et il régna à sa place, la vingtième année de Jotham, fils d’Ozias.
31 Everything else that Pekah did is written in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Israel’.
Le reste des actions de Pékach, et tout ce qu’il a fait, cela est écrit dans le livre des Chroniques des rois d’Israël.
32 When Pekah had been ruling Israel for almost two years, Uzziah’s son Jotham began to rule Judah.
La seconde année de Pékach, fils de Remalia, roi d’Israël, Jotham, fils d’Ozias, roi de Juda, régna.
33 He was 25 years old when he started to rule, and he ruled from Jerusalem for 16 years. His mother was Jerusha, the daughter of Zadok.
Il avait vingt-cinq ans lorsqu’il devint roi, et il régna seize ans à Jérusalem. Sa mère s’appelait Jeruscha, fille de Tsadok.
34 He did many things that pleased Yahweh, like his father Uzziah had done.
Il fit ce qui est droit aux yeux de l’Éternel; il agit entièrement comme avait agi Ozias, son père.
35 But he did not destroy the places on the tops of hills where the people worshiped [Yahweh], and the people continued to burn incense there [to honor Yahweh]. Jotham’s workers built the Upper Gate of the temple.
Seulement, les hauts lieux ne disparurent point; le peuple offrait encore des sacrifices et des parfums sur les hauts lieux. Jotham bâtit la porte supérieure de la maison de l’Éternel.
36 [If you want to know more about] everything else that Jotham did, it is written [RHQ] in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Judah’.
Le reste des actions de Jotham, et tout ce qu’il a fait, cela n’est-il pas écrit dans le livre des Chroniques des rois de Juda?
37 It was during the time that Jotham was the king that Yahweh sent King Rezin of Syria and King Pekah of Israel [with their armies] to attack Judah.
Dans ce temps-là, l’Éternel commença à envoyer contre Juda Retsin, roi de Syrie, et Pékach, fils de Remalia.
38 Jotham died [EUP] and was buried where his ancestors had been buried in [the part of Jerusalem called] ‘The City of David’. Then his son Ahaz became the king of Judah.
Jotham se coucha avec ses pères, et il fut enterré avec ses pères dans la ville de David, son père. Et Achaz, son fils, régna à sa place.
