JERUSALEM	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 De son temps, Nabuchodonosor, roi de Babylone, fit campagne, et Joiaqim lui fut soumis pendanttrois ans puis se révolta de nouveau contre lui.	1 During his days, Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, ascended, and Jehoiakim became his servant for three years. And again he rebelled against him.
2 Celui-ci envoya sur lui les bandes des Chaldéens, celles des Araméens, celles des Moabites, cellesdes Ammonites, il les envoya sur Juda pour le détruire, conformément à la parole que Yahvé avait prononcée parle ministère de ses serviteurs les prophètes.	2 And the Lord sent to him the robbers of the Chaldeans, and the robbers of Syria, and the robbers of Moab, and the robbers of the sons of Ammon. And he sent them into Judah, so that they might destroy it, in accord with the word of the Lord, which he had spoken through his servants, the prophets.
3 Cela arriva à Juda uniquement à cause de la colère de Yahvé, qui voulait l'écarter de devant sa face,pour les péchés de Manassé, pour tout ce qu'avait fait celui-ci	3 Then this occurred, by the word of the Lord against Judah, that he took him away from before himself because of all the sins of Manasseh which he did,
4 et aussi pour le sang innocent qu'il avait répandu, inondant Jérusalem de sang innocent. Yahvé nevoulut pas pardonner.	4 and because of the innocent blood which he shed, and because he filled Jerusalem with the slaughter of the innocent. And for this reason, the Lord was not willing to be appeased.
5 Le reste de l'histoire de Joiaqim et tout ce qu'il a fait, cela n'est-il pas écrit au livre des Annales desrois de Juda?	5 But the rest of the words of Jehoiakim, and all that he did, have these not been written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Judah? And Jehoiakim slept with his fathers.
6 Joiaqim se coucha avec ses pères et Joiakîn son fils régna à sa place.	6 And Jehoiachin, his son, reigned in his place.
7 Le roi d'Egypte ne sortit plus de son pays, car le roi de Babylone avait conquis, depuis le Torrentd'Egypte jusqu'au fleuve de l'Euphrate, tout ce qui appartenait au roi d'Egypte.	7 And the king of Egypt no longer continued to go out from his own land. For the king of Babylon had taken all that had belonged to the king of Egypt, from the river of Egypt as far as the river Euphrates.
8 Joiakîn avait dix-huit ans à son avènement et il régna trois mois à Jérusalem; sa mère s'appelaitNehushta, fille d'Elnatân, et était de Jérusalem.	8 Jehoiachin was eighteen years old when he had begun to reign, and he reigned for three months in Jerusalem. The name of his mother was Nehushta, the daughter of Elnathan, from Jerusalem.
9 Il fit ce qui déplaît à Yahvé, tout comme avait fait son père.	9 And he did evil before the Lord, in accord with all that his father had done.
10 En ce temps-là, les officiers de Nabuchodonosor, roi de Babylone, marchèrent contre Jérusalem etla ville fut investie.	10 At that time, the servants of Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, ascended against Jerusalem. And the city was encircled with fortifications.
11 Nabuchodonosor, roi de Babylone, vint lui-même attaquer la ville, pendant que ses officiersl'assiégeaient.	11 And Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, went to the city, with his servants, so that he might fight against it.
12 Alors Joiakîn, roi de Juda, se rendit au roi de Babylone, lui, sa mère, ses officiers, ses dignitaires etses eunuques, et le roi de Babylone les fit prisonniers; c'était en la huitième année de son règne.	12 And Jehoiachin, the king of Judah, went out to the king of Babylon, he, and his mother, and his servants, and his leaders, and his eunuchs. And the king of Babylon received him, in the eighth year of his reign.
13 Celui-ci emporta tous les trésors du Temple de Yahvé et les trésors du palais royal et il brisa tousles objets d'or que Salomon, roi d'Israël, avait fabriqués pour le sanctuaire de Yahvé, comme l'avait annoncéYahvé.	13 And he took from there all the treasures of the house of the Lord, and the treasures of the house of the king. And he cut up all the gold vessels which Solomon, the king of Israel, had made for the temple of the Lord, in accord with the word of the Lord.
14 Il emmena en exil tout Jérusalem, tous les dignitaires et tous les notables, soit 10.000 exilés, ettous les forgerons et serruriers; seule fut laissée la plus pauvre population du pays.	14 And he carried away all of Jerusalem, and all the leaders, and all the strong men of the army, ten thousand, into captivity, with every artisan and craftsman. And no one was left behind, except the poor among the people of the land.
15 Il déporta Joiakîn à Babylone; de même la mère du roi, les femmes du roi, ses eunuques, les noblesdu pays, il les fit partir en exil de Jérusalem à Babylone.	15 Also, he carried away Jehoiachin into Babylon, and the mother of the king, and the wives of the king, and his eunuchs. And he led into captivity the judges of the land, from Jerusalem to Babylon,
16 Tous les gens de condition, au nombre de 7.000, les forgerons et les serruriers, au nombre de mille,tous les hommes en état de porter les armes, furent conduits en exil à Babylone par le roi de Babylone.	16 and all the robust men, seven thousand, and the artisans and craftsman, one thousand: all who were strong men and fit for war. And the king of Babylon led them away as captives, into Babylon.
17 Le roi de Babylone établit roi à la place de Joiakîn son oncle Mattanya, dont il changea le nom encelui de Sédécias.	17 And he appointed Mattaniah, his uncle, in his place. And he imposed the name Zedekiah upon him.
18 Sédécias avait vingt ans à son avènement et il régna onze ans à Jérusalem; sa mère s'appelaitHamital, fille de Yirmeyahu, et était de Libna.	18 Zedekiah held twenty-one years of life when he had begun to reign. And he reigned for eleven years in Jerusalem. The name of his mother was Hamutal, the daughter of Jeremiah, from Libnah.
19 Il fit ce qui déplaît à Yahvé, tout comme avait fait Joiaqim.	19 And he did evil before the Lord, in accord with all that Jehoiakim had done.
20 Cela arriva à Jérusalem et à Juda à cause de la colère de Yahvé, tant qu'enfin il les rejeta de devantsa face. Sédécias se révolta contre le roi de Babylone.	20 For the Lord was angry against Jerusalem and against Judah, until he cast them away from his face. And so Zedekiah withdrew from the king of Babylon.
