JERUSALEM	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
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 Zedekiah was a son of twenty-one years when he first began to reign. And he reigned for eleven years in Jerusalem. And the name of his mother was Hamutal, the daughter of Jeremiah from Libnah.
2 Il fit ce qui est mal aux yeux de Yahvé, tout comme avait fait Joiaqim.	2 And he did what was evil in the eyes of the Lord, in accord with all that Jehoiakim 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 And so the fury of the Lord was toward Jerusalem, and toward Judah, even until he cast them away from his face. And Zedekiah drew away 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 happened that, in the ninth year of his reign, in the tenth month, on the tenth of the month, Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, he and his entire army, came against Jerusalem. And they besieged it, and they built fortifications against it, on every side.
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 Zedekiah.
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 Then, in the fourth month, on the ninth of the month, a famine gripped the city. And there was no nourishment 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, and all the men of war fled, and they departed from the city at night by way of the gate which is between the two walls, and which leads to the king’s garden, while the Chaldeans were besieging the city all around, and they went away by the road that leads 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 the king. And they overtook Zedekiah in the desert which is near Jericho. And all of his companions fled away 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 captured the king, they led him away to the king of Babylon at Riblah, which is in the land of Hamath. And he spoke a judgment against 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 cut the throats of the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes, and he also killed all the leaders of Judah at Riblah.
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 plucked out the eyes of Zedekiah, and he bound him with shackles, and the king of Babylon led him away to Babylon, and he placed him in the prison house, even until 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 Then, in the fifth month, on the tenth of the month, which is the nineteenth year of Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, Nebuzaradan, the leader of the military, arrived. And he was standing before the king of Babylon at Jerusalem.
13 Il incendia le Temple de Yahvé, le palais royal et toutes les maisons de Jérusalem.	13 And he set fire to the house of the Lord, and to the house of the king, and to all the houses of Jerusalem. And every great house he burned with fire.
14 Les troupes chaldéennes qui étaient avec le commandant de la garde abattirent tous les rempartsqui entouraient Jérusalem.	14 And the entire army of the Chaldeans, who were with the chief of the military, destroyed the entire wall all around Jerusalem.
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 Then Nebuzaradan, the leader of the military, took away some of the poor people, and some of the rest of the common people, who had remained in the city, and some of the fugitives, who had 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 Yet truly, some of the poor of the land, Nebuzaradan, the leader of the military, left behind as vinedressers and farmers.
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 apart the bronze 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 took all the brass of these things 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 cooking pots, and the hooks, and the psalteries, and the bowls, and the little mortars, and all the bronze vessels that had been used in the ministry.
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 And the chief of the military took the water pots, and the censers, and the pitchers, and the basins, and the lampstands, and the mortars, and the little cups, whatever was gold, for the gold, and whatever was silver, for the 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 as well as the two pillars, and the one brass sea, and the 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 brass left behind out 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 Now concerning the pillars, one pillar was eighteen cubits high, and a cord of twelve cubits encircled it. Moreover, its thickness was four fingers, and the interior was hollow.
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 heads of brass were upon both. And the height of one head was five cubits. And little nets with pomegranates were upon the heads all around, all of brass. The second pillar was similar, 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 there were one hundred pomegranates in all, surrounded by the little nets.
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 chief of the military took Seraiah, the first priest, and Zephaniah, the second priest, and the three keepers of the vestibule.
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 from the city one eunuch who was in charge of the men of war, and seven men among those who served before the face of the king, who were found in the city, and a scribe, a leader of the military, who tested the new recruits, and sixty men from the people of the land, who 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 Then Nebuzaradan, the chief of the military, took them, and he led them to the king of Babylon at Riblah.
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 at Riblah, in the land of Hamath. And Judah was carried away from his land.
28 Voici le nombre des gens déportés par Nabuchodonosor. La septième année: 3.023 Judéens;	28 This is the people whom Nebuchadnezzar carried away: 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 Nebuchadnezzar, eight hundred 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 twenty-third year of Nebuchadnezzar, Nebuzaradan, the chief of the military, carried away of the Jews seven hundred forty-five souls. Therefore, 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 happened that, in the thirty-seventh year of the transmigration of Jehoiachin, the king of Judah, in the twelfth month, on the twenty-fifth of the month, Evilmerodach, the king of Babylon, in the very first year of his reign, lifted up the head of Jehoiachin, the king of Judah, and he brought him out of the prison house.
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 with him for good, and he set his throne above the thrones of the kings who were after 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 in his sight 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 meals, a continual provision was allotted to him by the king of Babylon, a measure for every single day, until the day of his death, all the days of his life.
