Livre de Jérémie 52

JERUSALEM	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 Sédécias avait 21 ans à son avènement et il régna onze ans à Jérusalem. Sa mère s'appelaitHamital, fille de Yirmeyahu, et était de Libna.	1 Sedecias was one and twenty years old when he began to reign: and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem: and the name of his mother was Amital, the daughter of Jerernias of Lobna.
2 Il fit ce qui est mal aux yeux de Yahvé, tout comme avait fait Joiaqim.	2 And he did that which was evil in the eyes of the Lord, according to all that Joakim had done.
3 Cela arriva à Jérusalem et en Juda à cause de la colère de Yahvé, tant qu'enfin il les rejeta dedevant sa face. Sédécias se révolta contre le roi de Babylone.	3 For the wrath of the Lord was against Jerusalem, and against Juda, till he cast t hem out from his presence: and Sedecias revolted from the king of Babylon.
4 En la neuvième année de son règne, au dixième mois le dix du mois, Nabuchodonosor, roi deBabylone, vint attaquer Jérusalem avec toute son armée, il campa devant la ville et la cerna d'un retranchement.	4 And it came to pass in the ninth year of his reign, in the tenth month, the tenth day of the month, that Nabuchodonosor the king of Babylon came, he and all his army, against Jerusalem, and they besieged it, and built forts against it round about.
5 La ville fut investie jusqu'à la onzième année du roi Sédécias.	5 And the city was besieged until the eleventh year of king Sedecias.
6 Au quatrième mois, le neuf du mois, alors que la famine sévissait dans la ville et que la populationn'avait plus rien à manger,	6 And in the fourth month, the ninth day of the month, a famine overpowered the city: and there was no food for the people of the land.
7 une brèche fut faite au rempart de la ville. Alors le roi et tous les hommes de guerre s'enfuirent denuit et s'échappèrent de la ville par la porte entre les deux murs, qui est près du jardin du roi -- les Chaldéenscernaient la ville -- et ils prirent le chemin de la Araba.	7 And the city was broken up, and the men of war fled, and went out of the city in the night by the way of the gate that is between the two walls, and leadeth to the king's garden, (the Chaldeans besieging the city round about, ) sad they went by the way that leadeth to the wilderness.
8 Mais les troupes chaldéennes poursuivirent le roi et atteignirent Sédécias dans les plaines deJéricho, où tous ses soldats, l'abandonnant, se débandèrent.	8 But the army of the Chaldeans pursued after the king: and they overtook Sedecias in the desert which is near Jericho: and all his companions were scattered from him.
9 On fit prisonnier le roi qu'on emmena à Ribla, au pays de Hamat, auprès du roi de Babylone qui lefit passer en jugement.	9 And when they had taken the king, they carried him to the king of Babylon to Reblatha, which is in the land of Emath: and he gave judgment upon him.
10 Il égorgea les fils de Sédécias sous ses yeux; de même tous les princes de Juda, il les égorgea àRibla.	10 And the king of Babylon slew the sons of Sedecias before his eyes: and he slew all the princes of Juda in Reblatha.
11 Puis il creva les yeux de Sédécias et le lia avec des chaînes de bronze. Alors, le roi de Babylonel'emmena à Babylone où il l'emprisonna jusqu'au jour de sa mort.	11 And he put out the eyes of Sedecias, and bound him with fetters, and the king of Babylon brought him into Babylon, and he put him in prison till the day of his death.
12 Au cinquième mois, le dix du mois -- c'était en la dix-neuvième année du règne deNabuchodonosor, roi de Babylone -- Nebuzaradân, commandant de la garde, un de l'entourage immédiat du roide Babylone, fit son entrée à Jérusalem.	12 And in the fifth month, the tenth day of the month, the same is the nineteenth year of Nabuchodonosor, king of Babylon, came Nabuzardan the general of the army, who stood before the king of Babylon in Jerusalem.
13 Il incendia le Temple de Yahvé, le palais royal et toutes les maisons de Jérusalem.	13 And he burnt the house of the Lord, and the king's house, and all the houses of Jerusalem, and every great house he burnt with fire.
14 Les troupes chaldéennes qui étaient avec le commandant de la garde abattirent tous les rempartsqui entouraient Jérusalem.	14 And all the army of the Chaldeans that were with the general broke down all the wall of Jerusalem round about.
15 Nebuzaradân, commandant de la garde, déporta une partie des pauvres du peuple et le reste de lapopulation laissée dans la ville, les transfuges qui étaient passés au roi de Babylone et ce qui restait des artisans.	15 But Nabuzardan the general carried away captives some of the poor people, and of the rest of the common sort who remained in the city, and of the fugitives that were fled over to the king of Babylon, and the rest of the multitude.
16 Mais Nebuzaradân, commandant de la garde, laissa une partie des pauvres du pays, commevignerons et laboureurs.	16 But of the poor of the land, Nabuzardan the general left some for vinedressers, and for husbandmen.
17 Les Chaldéens brisèrent les colonnes de bronze du Temple de Yahvé, les bases roulantes et laMer de bronze qui étaient dans le Temple de Yahvé; ils en emportèrent tout le bronze à Babylone.	17 The Chaldeans also broke in pieces the brazen pillars that were in the house of the Lord, and the bases, and the sea of brass that was in the house of the Lord: and they carried all the brass of them to Babylon.
18 Ils prirent aussi les vases à cendres, les pelles, les couteaux, les coupes d'aspersion, les navettes ettous les ustensiles de bronze qui servaient au culte.	18 And they took the caldrons, and the fleshhooks, and the psalteries, and the bowls, and the little mortars, and all the brazen vessels that had been used in the ministry: and
19 Le commandant de la garde prit encore les coupes, les encensoirs, les coupes d'aspersion, lesvases à cendres, les chandeliers, les bols et les patères, tout ce qui était en or et tout ce qui était en argent.	19 The general took away the pitchers, and the censers, and the pots, and the basins, and the candlesticks, and the mortars, and the cups: as many as were of gold, in gold: and as many as were of silver, in silver:
20 Quant aux deux colonnes, à la Mer unique, aux douze boeufs de bronze qui étaient sous la Mer etaux bases roulantes, que le roi Salomon avait fabriqués pour le Temple de Yahvé, on ne pouvait évaluer ce quepesait le bronze de tous ces objets.	20 And the two pillars, and one sea, and twelve oxen of brass that were under the bases, which king Solomon had made in the house of the Lord: there was no weight of the brass of all these vessels.
21 Quant aux colonnes, l'une avait dix-huit coudées de haut; un fil de douze coudées en mesurait letour; épaisse de quatre doigts, elle était creuse à l'intérieur;	21 And concerning the pillars, one pillar was eighteen cubits high: and a cord of twelve cubits compassed it about: but the thickness thereof was four fingers, and it was hollow within.
22 un chapiteau de bronze la surmontait, haut de cinq coudées, ayant tout autour un treillis et desgrenades, le tout en bronze. De même pour la deuxième colonne.	22 And chapiters of brass were upon both: and the height of one chapiter was five cubits: and network, and pomegranates were upon the chapiters round about, all of brass. The same of the second pillar, and the pomegranates.
23 Il y avait 96 grenades sur les côtés. En tout, cela faisait cent grenades autour du treillis.	23 And there were ninety-six pomegranates hanging down: and the pomegranates being a hundred in all, were compassed with network.
24 Le commandant de la garde fit prisonniers Seraya, le prêtre en chef, Cephanya, le prêtre ensecond, et les trois gardiens du seuil.	24 And the general took Saraias the chief priest, and Sophonias the second priest, and the three keepers of the entry.
25 De la ville, il fit prisonniers un eunuque, préposé aux hommes de guerre, sept des familiers du roiqui furent trouvés dans la ville, le secrétaire du chef de l'armée, chargé de la conscription, ainsi que 60 hommesde condition qui furent trouvés dans la ville.	25 He also took out of the city one eunuch that was chief over the men of war: and seven men of them that were near the king's person, that were found in the city: and a scribe, an officer of the army who exercised the young soldiers: and threescore men of the people of the land, that were found in the midst of the city.
26 Nebuzaradân, commandant de la garde, les prit et les mena auprès du roi de Babylone, à Ribla,	26 And Nabuzardan the general took them, and brought them to the king of Babylon, to Reblatha.
27 et le roi de Babylone les fit mettre à mort à Ribla, au pays de Hamat. Ainsi Juda fut-il déportéloin de sa terre.	27 And the king of Babylon struck them, and put them to death in Reblatha, in the land of Emath: and Juda was carried away captive out of his land.
28 Voici le nombre des gens déportés par Nabuchodonosor. La septième année: 3.023 Judéens;	28 This is the people whom Nabuchodonosor carried away captive : in the seventh year, three thousand and twenty-three Jews.
29 la dix-huitième année de Nabuchodonosor, furent emmenées de Jérusalem 832 personnes;	29 In the eighteenth year of Nabuchodonosor, eight hundred and thirty-two souls from Jerusalem.
30 la vingt-troisième année de Nabuchodonosor, Nebuzaradân, commandant de la garde, déporta745 Judéens. En tout: 4.600 personnes.	30 In the three and twentieth year of Nabuchodonosor, Nabuzardan the general carried away of the Jews seven hundred and forty-five souls. So all the souls were four thousand six hundred.
31 Mais la trente-septième année de la déportation de Joiakîn, roi de Juda, au douzième mois, le 25du mois, Evil-Mérodak, roi de Babylone, en l'année de son avènement, fit grâce à Joiakîn, roi de Juda, et le tirade prison.	31 And it came to pass in the seven and thirtieth year of the captivity of Joachin king of Juda, in the twelfth month, the five and twentieth day of the month, that Evilmerodach king of Babylon, in the first year of his reign, lifted up the head of Joachin king of Juda, and brought him forth out of prison.
32 Il lui parla avec bonté et lui accorda un siège supérieur à ceux des autres rois qui étaient avec luià Babylone.	32 And he spoke kindly to him, and he set his throne above the thrones of the kings that were with him in Babylon.
33 Joiakîn quitta ses vêtements de captif et mangea toujours à la table du roi, sa vie durant.	33 And he changed his prison garments, and he ate bread before him always all the days of his life.
34 Son entretien fut assuré constamment par le roi de Babylone, jour après jour, jusqu'au jour de samort, sa vie durant.	34 And for his diet a continual provision was allowed him by the king of Babylon, every day a portion, until the day of his death, all the days of his life.
