1 En ce temps-là Abiya, fils de Jéroboam, tomba malade.1 In that time Abijah, the son of Jeroboam, became ill.
2 Jéroboam dit à sa femme: “Voici ce que tu devrais faire: te déguiser pour qu’on ne sache pas que tu es la femme de Jéroboam, et ensuite aller à Silo. Là-bas se trouve le prophète Ahiya qui m’a annoncé que je régnerais sur ce peuple.2 And Jeroboam said to his wife: “Rise up, and change clothing, so that you will not be recognized to be the wife of Jeroboam. And go to Shiloh, where the prophet Ahijah is, who said to me that I should reign over this people.
3 Tu prendras avec toi 10 pains, des gâteaux et un pot de miel, tu entreras chez lui et il te dira l’avenir pour l’enfant.”3 Also, take in your hand ten loaves, and dried bread, and a container of honey, and go to him. For he will reveal to you what will happen to this boy.”
4 La femme de Jéroboam fit ainsi: elle partit pour Silo et entra dans la maison d’Ahiya. Or Ahiya ne pouvait plus voir, son regard était fixe à cause de son grand âge.4 The wife of Jeroboam did just as he had said. And rising up, she went away to Shiloh. And she arrived at the house of Ahijah. But he was unable to see, because his eyes had dimmed due to old age.
5 Mais Yahvé avait dit une parole à Ahiya: “La femme de Jéroboam va venir te consulter au sujet de son fils qui est malade et voici ce que tu lui diras. Quand elle se présentera, elle se fera passer pour une autre.”5 Then the Lord said to Ahijah: “Behold, the wife of Jeroboam enters, so that she may consult you over her son, who is ill. You shall say one thing and another to her.” Therefore, as she was entering, not presenting herself to be who she was,
6 Aussi, lorsqu’elle franchit la porte, lorsque Ahiya entendit le bruit de ses pas, il lui dit: “Entre, femme de Jéroboam. Pourquoi te faire passer pour une autre? Je suis chargé pour toi d’un message redoutable.6 Ahijah heard the sound of her feet, entering through the door. And he said: “Enter, O wife of Jeroboam. Why do you pretend to be someone you are not? But I have been sent to you with harsh news.
7 “Va redire à Jéroboam cette parole de Yahvé, Dieu d’Israël: Je t’ai choisi du milieu du peuple pour faire de toi le chef de mon peuple Israël.7 Go, and tell Jeroboam: ‘Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel: Although I exalted you from the midst of the people, and I granted to you to be the leader over my people Israel,
8 J’ai enlevé le royaume à la maison de David pour te le donner. Mais tu n’as pas été comme mon serviteur David: il observait mes commandements, il marchait de tout son cœur à ma suite, il faisait ce qui est droit à mes yeux.8 and I tore the kingdom away from the house of David, and I gave it to you, yet you have not been like David, my servant, who kept my commandments, and who followed me with his whole heart, doing what was pleasing in my sight.
9 “Mais toi, tu as agi plus mal que tous les autres avant toi, tu es allé te faire d’autres dieux, des idoles de métal qui ne pouvaient que m’irriter, et tu t’es débarrassé de moi.9 Instead, you have worked evil beyond all those who were before you. And you have made for yourself strange gods and molten images, so that you provoke me to anger. And you have cast me behind your back.
10 À cause de tout cela je fais venir le malheur sur la maison de Jéroboam, j’en exterminerai tous les mâles, qu’ils soient esclaves ou libres en Israël. Je balaierai la maison de Jéroboam comme on balaie les ordures, jusqu’à ce qu’il ne reste plus rien.10 For this reason, behold, I will lead evils over the house of Jeroboam, and I will strike down from Jeroboam that which urinates against a wall, and that which is lame, and that which is last in Israel. And I will cleanse that which remains of the house of Jeroboam, just as dung is usually cleaned away, until there is purity.
11 Celui de la maison de Jéroboam qui mourra dans la ville sera dévoré par les chiens, celui qui mourra dans la campagne sera mangé par les oiseaux du ciel: c’est Yahvé qui le dit.”11 Those who will have died of Jeroboam in the city, the dogs will devour them. And those who will have died in the field, the birds of the heavens will devour them. For the Lord has spoken.’
12 “Et toi maintenant, lève-toi et retourne chez toi. Dès que tes pieds franchiront la porte de la ville, l’enfant mourra.12 Therefore, you must rise up, and go to your house. And in the city, at the very entrance of your feet, the boy will die.
13 Tout Israël le pleurera et on l’enterrera: il sera le seul de la maison de Jéroboam à recevoir une sépulture, car c’est le seul de la maison de Jéroboam en qui Yahvé Dieu d’Israël ait trouvé quelque chose de bon.13 And all of Israel will mourn him, and will bury him. For he alone of Jeroboam shall be brought into a sepulcher. For concerning him, there has been found a good word from the Lord, the God of Israel, in the house of Jeroboam.
14 Yahvé établira sur Israël un roi qui fera disparaître la maison de Jéroboam; le châtiment est tout proche, il est déjà là.14 But the Lord has appointed for himself a king over Israel, who will strike down the house of Jeroboam, in this day and in this time.
15 “Yahvé secouera Israël comme un roseau emporté par le courant, il arrachera Israël de ce bon pays qu’il avait donné à leurs pères, il les dispersera de l’autre côté du Fleuve parce qu’ils ont excité la colère de Yahvé par leurs pieux sacrés.15 And the Lord God shall strike Israel, just as a reed is usually shaken in the water. And he will uproot Israel from this good land, which he gave to their fathers. And he will winnow them beyond the river. For they have made for themselves sacred groves, so that they have provoked the Lord.
16 Il livrera Israël à cause des péchés que Jéroboam a commis et qu’il a fait commettre à Israël.”16 And the Lord will hand over Israel, because of the sins of Jeroboam, who has sinned and caused Israel to sin.”
17 La femme de Jéroboam se leva et se mit en route pour Tirsa. Au moment où elle franchissait le seuil de sa maison, l’enfant mourut.17 And so, the wife of Jeroboam rose up, and she went away. And she arrived at Tirzah. And as she was entering the threshold of the house, the boy died.
18 On l’enterra et tout Israël le pleura selon la parole que Yahvé avait dite par son serviteur Ahiya le prophète.18 And they buried him, and all of Israel mourned for him, in accord with the word of the Lord, which he spoke by the hand of his servant Ahijah, the prophet.
19 Le reste des actes de Jéroboam, les guerres qu’il fit et comment il régna, tout cela n’est-il pas écrit dans le livre des Chroniques des rois d’Israël?19 Now the rest of the words of Jeroboam, the manner in which he fought, and the manner in which he reigned, behold, these were written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Israel.
20 Jéroboam régna 22 ans, puis il se coucha avec ses pères et son fils Nadab régna à sa place.20 And the days during which Jeroboam reigned were twenty-two years. And he slept with his fathers. And Nadab, his son, reigned in his place.
21 Roboam fils de Salomon régna en Juda; Il avait 41 ans lorsqu’il monta sur le trône. Il régna 17 ans à Jérusalem, la ville que Yahvé avait choisie parmi toutes les tribus d’Israël pour y faire habiter son Nom. Sa mère était Naama l’Ammonite.21 Now Rehoboam, the son of Solomon, reigned in Judah. Rehoboam was forty-one years old when he had begun to reign. And he reigned for seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city that the Lord chose, out of all the tribes of Israel, so that he might place his name there. And the name of his mother was Naamah, an Ammonite.
22 Juda fit ce qui déplaît aux yeux de Yahvé et, plus encore que leurs pères, ils excitèrent sa colère par leurs péchés.22 And Judah did evil in the sight of the Lord, and they provoked him beyond all that their fathers had done, by their sins that they committed.
23 Eux aussi construisirent des Hauts-Lieux avec des pierres dressées et des pieux sacrés sur toutes les hautes collines et sous tout arbre vert.23 For they, too, built for themselves altars, and statues, and sacred groves, upon every high hill and under every leafy tree.
24 Il y eut même des prostitués sacrés dans le pays et ils imitèrent toutes les pratiques honteuses des païens que Yahvé avait chassés devant les Israélites.24 Moreover, the effeminate were in the land, and they committed all the abominations of the peoples that the Lord had destroyed before the face of the sons of Israel.
25 La cinquième année du règne de Roboam, Chéchonk roi d’Égypte attaqua Jérusalem.25 Then, in the fifth year of the reign of Rehoboam, Shishak, the king of Egypt, ascended against Jerusalem.
26 Il prit les trésors de la Maison de Yahvé et les trésors du palais royal: il ramassa tout. Il prit tous les boucliers d’or que Salomon avait faits;26 And he took away the treasures of the house of the Lord, and the royal treasures, and he plundered everything, including the shields of gold that Solomon had made.
27 à leur place le roi Roboam fit des boucliers de bronze et il les remit entre les mains de ceux qui couraient devant son char et de ceux qui gardaient l’entrée du palais royal.27 In place of these, king Rehoboam made shields of brass, and he delivered them into the hand of the commanders of the shield bearers, and of those who were keeping the night watch before the gate of the king’s house.
28 Chaque fois que le roi se rendait au Temple de Yahvé, ceux qui couraient en avant de lui les prenaient; ils les rapportaient ensuite dans la salle des gardes.28 And when the king entered into the house of the Lord, these were carried by those who held the office to go before him. And afterward, they carried them back to the armory of the shield bearers.
29 Le reste des actes de Roboam, tout ce qu’il a fait, cela n’est-il pas écrit dans le livre des Chroniques des rois de Juda?29 Now the rest of the words of Rehoboam, and all that he did, behold, these were written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Judah.
30 Ce fut continuellement la guerre entre Roboam et Jéroboam.30 And there was war between Rehoboam and Jeroboam, during all the days.
31 Lorsque Roboam se coucha avec ses pères, on l’enterra comme eux dans la ville de David; Abiyam, son fils, régna à sa place.31 And Rehoboam slept with his fathers, and he was buried with them in the city of David. And his mother’s name was Naamah, an Ammonite. And his son Abijam reigned in his place.
