2 Rois 24

1 En ce temps-là, Nabuchodonosor, roi de Babylone, vint, et Joacin lui fut asservi trois ans; ensuite il changea de pensée, et il refusa de lui obéir.

In his days Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came up, and Jehoiakim became his servant three years: then he turned and rebelled against him.

2 Alors, le Seigneur envoya contre lui des bandes de la Chaldée, de la Syrie, de Moab et des fils d'Ammon; il les envoya en la terre de Juda pour prévaloir sur elle, selon la parole que le Seigneur avait dite par la voix de ses serviteurs les prophètes;

And the LORD sent against him bands of the Chaldees, and bands of the Syrians, and bands of the Moabites, and bands of the children of Ammon, and sent them against Judah to destroy it, according to the word of the LORD, which he spoke by his servants the prophets.

3 De plus, la colère du Seigneur contre Juda voulait l'expulser de devant sa face à cause des péchés de Manassé, et de tout ce qu'avait fait ce roi;

Surely at the commandment of the LORD came this upon Judah, to remove them out of his sight, for the sins of Manasseh, according to all that he did;

4 Car il avait versé le sang innocent, il en avait rempli Jérusalem; et le Seigneur ne voulait point s'apaiser.

And also for the innocent blood that he shed: for he filled Jerusalem with innocent blood; which the LORD would not pardon.

5 Quant au reste de l'histoire de Joacin, n'est-il pas écrit au livre des Faits et gestes des rois de Juda?

Now the rest of the acts of Jehoiakim, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?

6 Et Joacin s'endormit avec ses pères, et son fils Joachim, régna à sa place.

So Jehoiakim slept with his fathers: and Jehoiachin his son reigned in his position.

7 Et le roi d'Égypte ne sortit plus de sa contrée, parce que, depuis le torrent d'Égypte jusqu'à l'Euphrate, le roi de Babylone avait pris tout ce qui appartenait à l'Égyptien.

And the king of Egypt came not again any more out of his land: for the king of Babylon had taken from the river of Egypt unto the river Euphrates all that pertained to the king of Egypt.

8 Joachim avait dix-huit ans quand il monta sur le trône, et il régna trois mois à Jérusalem; sa mère se nommait Nestha, fille d'Ellanastham, de Jérusalem.

Jehoiachin was eighteen years old when he began to reign, and he reigned in Jerusalem three months. And his mother's name was Nehushta, the daughter of Elnathan of Jerusalem.

9 Et il fit le mal devant le Seigneur, comme avait fait son père.

And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, according to all that his father had done.

10 En ce temps-là, Nabuchodonosor, roi de Babylone, marcha sur Jérusalem, et la ville fut investie.

At that time the servants of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came up against Jerusalem, and the city was besieged.

11 Et Nabuchodonosor mit le siège devant la ville, et ses serviteurs la tinrent assiégée.

And Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came against the city, and his servants did besiege it.

12 Or, Joachim, roi de Juda, se rendit au roi de Babylone, lui, ses serviteurs, sa mère, ses chefs et ses eunuques; le roi de Babylone le fit captif en la huitième année de son règne.

And Jehoiachin the king of Judah went out to the king of Babylon, he, and his mother, and his servants, and his princes, and his officers: and the king of Babylon took him in the eighth year of his reign.

13 Et il enleva de Jérusalem tous les trésors du temple du Seigneur et tous les trésors du palais du roi; il brisa tous les vaisseaux d'or qu'avait faits, dans le temple, le roi Salomon, selon la parole du Seigneur.

And he carried out thence all the treasures of the house of the LORD, and the treasures of the king's house, and cut in pieces all the vessels of gold which Solomon king of Israel had made in the temple of the LORD, as the LORD had said.

14 Et il emmena en captivité, au nombre de dix mille, tous les chefs, tous les hommes vaillants, et en outre tous les charpentiers et tous les maçons; il ne resta dans la terre que les indigents.

And he carried away all Jerusalem, and all the princes, and all the mighty men of valour, even ten thousand captives, and all the craftsmen and smiths: none remained, save the poorest sort of the people of the land.

15 Il transporta aussi à Babylone, Joachim, la mère du roi, les femmes du roi et ses eunuques; il conduisit tous les riches de la terre de Jérusalem à Babylone,

And he carried away Jehoiachin to Babylon, and the king's mother, and the king's wives, and his officers, and the mighty of the land, those carried he into captivity from Jerusalem to Babylon.

16 Et tous les hommes dans la force de l'âge au nombre de soixante-dix mille, et mille charpentiers ou maçons, tous faisant la guerre. Le roi Nabuchodonosor les emmena captifs à Babylone.

And all the men of might, even seven thousand, and craftsmen and smiths a thousand, all that were strong and able for war, even them the king of Babylon brought captive to Babylon.

17 Et il remplaça Joachim par Batthanias, fils de Josias, et il donna à ce roi le nom de Sédécias.

And the king of Babylon made Mattaniah his father's brother king in his position, and changed his name to Zedekiah.

18 Sédécias avait vingt-neuf ans quand il monta sur le trône, et il régna onze ans à Jérusalem; le nom de sa mère était Amital, fille de Jérémie.

Zedekiah was twenty and one years old when he began to reign, and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Hamutal, the daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah.

19 Et il fit le mal devant le Seigneur, comme avait fait Joacin;

And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, according to all that Jehoiakim had done.

20 Car, telle était la pensée du Seigneur contre Jérusalem et contre Juda, jusqu'à ce qu'il les eut expulsés de devant sa face. Or, Sédécias se révolta contre le roi de Babylone.

For through the anger of the LORD it came to pass in Jerusalem and Judah, until he had cast them out from his presence, that Zedekiah rebelled against the king of Babylon.
