Deuxième livre des Rois 11

JERUSALEM	KING JAMES BIBLE
1 Lorsque la mère d'Ochozias, Athalie, eut appris que son fils était mort, elle entreprit d'exterminertoute la descendance royale.	1 And when Athaliah the mother of Ahaziah saw that her son was dead, she arose and destroyed all the seed royal.
2 Mais Yehoshéba fille du roi Joram et soeur d'Ochozias, retira furtivement Joas, son neveu, dugroupe des fils du roi qu'on massacrait et elle le mit, avec sa nourrice, dans la chambre des lits; elle le dérobaainsi à Athalie et il ne fut pas mis à mort.	2 But Jehosheba, the daughter of king Joram, sister of Ahaziah, took Joash the son of Ahaziah and stole him from among the king's sons which were slain; and they hid him, even him and his nurse, in the bedchamber from Athaliah, so that he was not slain.
3 Il resta six ans avec elle, caché dans le Temple de Yahvé, pendant qu'Athalie régnait sur le pays.	3 And he was with her hid in the house of the LORD six years. And Athaliah did reign over the land.
4 La septième année, Yehoyada envoya chercher les centeniers des Cariens et des gardes, et les fitvenir auprès de lui, dans le Temple de Yahvé. Il conclut un pacte avec eux, leur fit prêter serment et leur montrale fils du roi.	4 And the seventh year Jehoiada sent and fetched the rulers over hundreds, with the captains and the guard, and brought them to him into the house of the LORD, and made a covenant with them, and took an oath of them in the house of the LORD, and shewed them the king's son.
5 Il leur donna cet ordre: "Voici ce que vous allez faire: le tiers d'entre vous, la garde descendante dujour du sabbat, qui prend la faction au palais royal,	5 And he commanded them, saying, This is the thing that ye shall do; A third part of you that enter in on the sabbath shall even be keepers of the watch of the king's house;
	6 And a third part shall be at the gate of Sur; and a third part at the gate behind the guard: so shall ye keep the watch of the house, that it be not broken down.
7 et vos deux autres sections, toute la garde montante du jour du sabbat, qui prend la faction auTemple de Yahvé,	7 And two parts of all you that go forth on the sabbath, even they shall keep the watch of the house of the LORD about the king.
8 vous ferez un cercle autour du roi; chacun aura ses armes à la main et quiconque voudra forcer vosrangs sera mis à mort. Vous accompagnerez le roi dans ses allées et venues."	8 And ye shall compass the king around about, every man with his weapons in his hand: and he that cometh within the ranges, let him be slain: and be ye with the king as he goeth out and as he cometh in.
9 Les centeniers firent tout ce que leur avait ordonné le prêtre Yehoyada. Ils prirent chacun leurshommes, la garde descendante du jour du sabbat en même temps que la garde montante du jour du sabbat, etvinrent auprès du prêtre Yehoyada.	9 And the captains over the hundreds did according to all things that Jehoiada the priest commanded: and they took every man his men that were to come in on the sabbath, with them that should go out on the sabbath, and came to Jehoiada the priest.
10 Le prêtre donna aux centeniers les lances et les boucliers du roi David, qui étaient dans le Templede Yahvé.	10 And to the captains over hundreds did the priest give king David's spears and shields, that were in the temple of the LORD.
11 Les gardes se rangèrent, leurs armes à la main, depuis l'angle sud jusqu'à l'angle nord du Temple,entourant l'autel et le Temple.	11 And the guard stood, every man with his weapons in his hand, round about the king, from the right corner of the temple to the left corner of the temple, along by the altar and the temple.
12 Alors Yehoyada fit sortir le fils du roi, il lui imposa le diadème et lui remit le document del'alliance; on le fit roi et on lui donna l'onction. On battit des mains et on cria: "Vive le roi!"	12 And he brought forth the king's son, and put the crown upon him, and gave him the testimony; and they made him king, and anointed him; and they clapped their hands, and said, God save the king.
13 Entendant la clameur populaire, Athalie se rendit vers le peuple au Temple de Yahvé.	13 And when Athaliah heard the noise of the guard and of the people, she came to the people into the temple of the LORD.
14 Quand elle vit le roi debout sur l'estrade, selon l'usage, les chefs et les trompettes près du roi, toutle peuple du pays exultant de joie et sonnant de la trompette, Athalie déchira ses vêtements et cria: "Trahison!Trahison!"	14 And when she looked, behold, the king stood by a pillar, as the manner was, and the princes and the trumpeters by the king, and all the people of the land rejoiced, and blew with trumpets: and Athaliah rent her clothes, and cried, Treason, Treason.
15 Alors le prêtre Yehoyada donna un ordre aux commandants de la troupe: "Faites-la sortir entre lesrangs, leur dit-il, et si quelqu'un la suit, qu'on le passe au fil de l'épée"; car le prêtre s'était dit: "Il ne faut pasqu'elle soit tuée dans le Temple de Yahvé."	15 But Jehoiada the priest commanded the captains of the hundreds, the officers of the host, and said unto them, Have her forth without the ranges: and him that followeth her kill with the sword. For the priest had said, Let her not be slain in the house of the LORD.
16 Ils mirent la main sur elle et, quand elle arriva au palais royal par l'Entrée des Chevaux, là elle futmise à mort.	16 And they laid hands on her; and she went by the way by the which the horses came into the king's house: and there was she slain.
17 Yehoyada conclut entre Yahvé, le roi et le peuple l'alliance par laquelle celui-ci s'obligeait à être lepeuple de Yahvé; de même entre le roi et le peuple.	17 And Jehoiada made a covenant between the LORD and the king and the people that they should be the LORD's people; between the king also and the people.
18 Tout le peuple du pays se rendit ensuite au temple de Baal et le démolit; on brisa de belle façon sesautels et ses images et on tua Mattân, prêtre de Baal, devant les autels. Le prêtre établit des postes desurveillance pour le Temple de Yahvé,	18 And all the people of the land went into the house of Baal, and brake it down; his altars and his images brake they in pieces thoroughly, and slew Mattan the priest of Baal before the altars. And the priest appointed officers over the house of the LORD.
19 puis il prit des centeniers, les Cariens et les gardes, et tout le peuple du pays. Ils firent descendre leroi du Temple de Yahvé et entrèrent au palais par la porte des Gardes. Joas s'assit sur le trône des rois.	19 And he took the rulers over hundreds, and the captains, and the guard, and all the people of the land; and they brought down the king from the house of the LORD, and came by the way of the gate of the guard to the king's house. And he sat on the throne of the kings.
20 Tout le peuple du pays était en liesse mais la ville ne bougea pas. Quant à Athalie, on la fit périrpar l'épée dans le palais royal.	20 And all the people of the land rejoiced, and the city was in quiet: and they slew Athaliah with the sword beside the king's house.
	21 Seven years old was Jehoash when he began to reign.
