Jérémie 32
1 Ainsi prophétisa Jérémie sur toutes les nations.
The word that came to Jeremiah from Jehovah in the tenth year of Zedekiah king of Judah, which was the eighteenth year of Nebuchadnezzar.
2 Ainsi prophétisa Jérémie sur toutes les nations.
Now at that time the king of Babylon's army was besieging Jerusalem; and Jeremiah the prophet was shut up in the court of the guard, which was in the king of Judah's house.
3 Ainsi prophétisa Jérémie sur toutes les nations.
For Zedekiah king of Judah had shut him up, saying, "Why do you prophesy, and say, 'Thus says Jehovah, "Look, I will give this city into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall take it;
4 Ainsi prophétisa Jérémie sur toutes les nations.
and Zedekiah king of Judah shall not escape out of the hand of the Chaldeans, but shall surely be delivered into the hand of the king of Babylon, and shall speak with him mouth to mouth, and his eyes shall see his eyes;
5 Ainsi prophétisa Jérémie sur toutes les nations.
and he shall bring Zedekiah to Babylon, and he shall be there until I visit him," says Jehovah: "though you fight with the Chaldeans, you shall not prosper?"'"
6 Ainsi prophétisa Jérémie sur toutes les nations.
Jeremiah said, "The word of Jehovah came to me, saying,
7 Ainsi prophétisa Jérémie sur toutes les nations.
'Look, Hanamel the son of Shallum your uncle shall come to you, saying, "Buy my field that is in Anathoth; for the right of redemption is yours to buy it."'
8 Ainsi prophétisa Jérémie sur toutes les nations.
So Hanamel my uncle's son came to me in the court of the guard according to the word of Jehovah, and said to me, "Please buy my field that is in Anathoth, which is in the land of Benjamin; for the right of inheritance is yours, and the redemption is yours; buy it for yourself.' Then I knew that this was the word of Jehovah.
9 Ainsi prophétisa Jérémie sur toutes les nations.
I bought the field that was in Anathoth of Hanamel my uncle's son, and weighed him the money, even seventeen shekels of silver.
10 Ainsi prophétisa Jérémie sur toutes les nations.
I subscribed the deed, and sealed it, and called witnesses, and weighed him the money in the balances.
11 Ainsi prophétisa Jérémie sur toutes les nations.
So I took the deed of the purchase, both that which was sealed, containing the terms and conditions, and that which was open;
12 Ainsi prophétisa Jérémie sur toutes les nations.
and I delivered the deed of the purchase to Baruch the son of Neriah, the son of Mahseiah, in the presence of Hanamel my cousin, and in the presence of the witnesses who subscribed the deed of the purchase, before all the Jews who sat in the court of the guard.
13 Ainsi prophétisa Jérémie sur toutes les nations.
I commanded Baruch before them, saying,
14 Voici ce que dit le Seigneur Dieu d'Israël: Prends de ma main cette coupe de vin pur, et fais-en boire à toutes les nations chez qui je t'enverrai.
'Thus says Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel: "Take these deeds, this deed of the purchase which is sealed, and this deed which is open, and put them in an earthen vessel; that they may continue many days."'
15 Voici ce que dit le Seigneur Dieu d'Israël: Prends de ma main cette coupe de vin pur, et fais-en boire à toutes les nations chez qui je t'enverrai.
For thus says Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel: 'Houses and fields and vineyards shall yet again be bought in this land.'
16 Et elles boiront, et elles vomiront, et elles perdront le sens à la vue du glaive que j'envoie contre elles.
Now after I had delivered the deed of the purchase to Baruch the son of Neriah, I prayed to Jehovah, saying,
17 Et je pris la coupe de la main du Seigneur, et je fis boire les nations chez qui le Seigneur m'avait envoyé:
'Ah, Jehovah. Look, you have made the heavens and the earth by your great power and by your outstretched arm; there is nothing too difficult for you,
18 Jérusalem et les villages de Juda, les rois de Juda et ses princes, afin de faire de ces contrées un désert, une désolation, un sujet de raillerie;
who show loving kindness to thousands, and recompense the iniquity of the fathers into the bosom of their children after them; the Great, the Mighty God, Jehovah of hosts is his name;
19 Et le Pharaon, roi d'Égypte, et ses serviteurs, et ses grands et tout son peuple;
great in counsel, and mighty in work; whose eyes are open on all the ways of human beings, to give to each person according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings.
20 Et ses alliés, et tous les rois des Philistins, et Ascalon, et Gaza, et Accaron, et le roi d'Azot;
You performed signs and wonders in the land of Egypt, and to this day in Israel and among all humankind, and have made a name for yourself to this day.
21 Et l'Idumée, et Moab, et les fils d'Ammon;
You brought forth your people Israel out of the land of Egypt with signs, and with wonders, and with a strong hand, and with an outstretched arm, and with great terror;
22 Et les rois de Tyr, et les rois de Sidon, et les rois de la terre des îles au delà de la mer;
and gave them this land, which you swore to their fathers to give them, a land flowing with milk and honey;
23 Et Dédan, et Théman, et Rhos, et tous ceux qui se coupent les cheveux autour du front;
and they came in, and possessed it, but they did not obey your voice, neither walked in your law; they have done nothing of all that you commanded them to do: therefore you have caused all this evil to come on them.
24 Et tous les peuples mêlés, qui ont leurs tentes dans le désert;
Look, the mounds, they have come to the city to take it; and the city is given into the hand of the Chaldeans who fight against it, because of the sword, and of the famine, and of the pestilence; and what you have spoken has happened; and look, you see it.
25 Et tous les rois d'Élam, et tous les rois de Perse;
You have said to me, Lord Jehovah, "Buy the field for money, and call witnesses"; whereas the city is given into the hand of the Chaldeans.'"
26 Et tous les rois de l'Orient, proches ou lointains, les uns après les autres, et tous les royaumes qui sont sur la surface de la terre.
Then came the word of Jehovah to Jeremiah, saying,
27 Et tu leur diras: Ainsi parle le Seigneur tout-puissant: Buvez, enivrez-vous, et vous vomirez; vous tomberez, et vous ne vous relèverez pas sous le glaive que j'enverrai sur vous,
"Look, I am Jehovah, the God of all flesh: is there anything too difficult for me?
28 Et voici ce qui arrivera: lorsqu'ils refuseront de prendre de ta main la coupe pour y boire, tu leur diras: Ainsi dit le Seigneur: Buvez, buvez,
Therefore thus says Jehovah: 'Look, I will give this city into the hand of the Chaldeans, and into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and he shall take it:
29 Car je commence à sévir contre la ville où mon nom est prononcé, et vous ne serez point purifiés; car j'appelle un glaive sur tous ceux qui habitent la terre.
and the Chaldeans, who fight against this city, shall come and set this city on fire, and burn it, with the houses, on whose roofs they have offered incense to Baal, and poured out drink offerings to other gods, to provoke me to anger.
30 Et tu prophétiseras contre eux en ces termes, et tu diras: Le Seigneur du haut des cieux parlera; de son sanctuaire il fera entendre sa voix; il parlera contre ce lieu, et les hommes lui répondront comme des vendangeurs ivres; et la destruction arrivera sur tous ceux qui habitent la terre,
For the children of Israel and the people of Judah have done only that which was evil in my sight from their youth; for the children of Israel have only provoked me to anger with the work of their hands, says Jehovah.
31 Et même aux extrémités du monde; car le Seigneur entre en jugement contre toutes les nations; il plaide avec toute chair; et les impies ont été livrés au glaive, dit le Seigneur.
For this city has been to me a provocation of my anger and of my wrath from the day that they built it even to this day; that I should remove it from before my face,
32 Ainsi dit le Seigneur: Voilà que les maux passeront de nation à nation, et un immense tourbillon partira des extrémités de la terre.
because of all the evil of the children of Israel and of the people of Judah, which they have done to provoke me to anger, they, their kings, their officials, their priests, and their prophets, and the men of Judah, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
33 Et il y aura des morts tués par le Seigneur, au jour du Seigneur, dans toutes les parties de la terre; on ne les enterrera point, et ils seront comme du fumier sur la surface de la terre.
They have turned to me the back, and not the face: and though I taught them, rising up early and teaching them, yet they have not listened to receive instruction.
34 Poussez des gémissements, pasteurs, et criez; lamentez-vous, béliers du troupeau; car vos jours finiront par le meurtre, et vous tomberez comme des béliers de choix.
But they set their abominations in the house which is called by my name, to defile it.
35 Et il n'y aura pas de refuge pour les pasteurs; il n'y aura point de salut pour les béliers du troupeau.
They built the high places of Baal, which are in the Valley of Ben Hinnom, to cause their sons and their daughters to pass through fire to Molech; which I did not command them, neither did it come into my mind, that they should do this abomination, to cause Judah to sin.'
36 Ou entend la voix et les cris des pasteurs, les gémissements des brebis et des béliers, parce que le Seigneur a détruit leurs pâturages.
"Now therefore thus says Jehovah, the God of Israel, concerning this city, about which you say, 'It is given into the hand of the king of Babylon by the sword, and by the famine, and by the pestilence':
37 Et toute demeure autrefois paisible sera détruite en face de ma colère.
'Look, I will gather them out of all the countries, where I have driven them in my anger, and in my wrath, and in great indignation; and I will bring them again to this place, and I will cause them to dwell safely:
38 Dieu, comme un lion, a abandonné le lieu de sa retraite; et leur terre est devenue déserte en face de son grand glaive.
and they shall be my people, and I will be their God:
and I will give them one heart and one way, that they may fear me forever, for their good, and of their children after them:
and I will make an everlasting covenant with them, that I will not turn away from following them, to do them good; and I will put my fear in their hearts, that they may not depart from me.
Yes, I will rejoice over them to do them good, and I will plant them in this land assuredly with my whole heart and with my whole soul.'
"For thus says Jehovah: 'Just as I have brought all this great disaster on this people, so will I bring on them all the good that I have promised them.
Fields shall be bought in this land, about which you say, "It is desolate, without man or animal; it is given into the hand of the Chaldeans."
Men shall buy fields for money, and subscribe the deeds, and seal them, and call witnesses, in the land of Benjamin, and in the places about Jerusalem, and in the cities of Judah, and in the cities of the hill country, and in the cities of the lowland, and in the cities of the Negev: for I will cause their captivity to return,' says Jehovah."
