JERUSALEM	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 En ce temps-là, le fils de Jéroboam, Abiyya, tomba malade,	1 In that time Abijah, the son of Jeroboam, became ill.
2 et Jéroboam dit à sa femme: "Lève-toi, je te prie, déguise-toi pour qu'on ne reconnaisse pas que tues la femme de Jéroboam et va à Silo. Il y a là le prophète Ahiyya: c'est lui qui a prédit que je régnerais sur cepeuple.	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 Prends avec toi dix pains, des friandises et un pot de miel, et va vers lui: il t'apprendra ce qui doitarriver à 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 Ainsi fit la femme de Jéroboam: elle se leva, alla à Silo et entra chez Ahiyya. Or celui-ci ne pouvaitpas voir, ayant le regard 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 lui avait dit: "Voici que la femme de Jéroboam vient solliciter de toi un oracle pour sonfils, car il est malade; tu lui parleras de telle et telle manière. Elle viendra en se donnant 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 Dès qu'Ahiyya entendit le bruit de ses pas à la porte, il dit: "Entre, femme de Jéroboam. Pourquoidonc te donner pour une autre, quand j'ai un dur message pour toi?	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 dire à Jéroboam: Ainsi parle Yahvé, Dieu d'Israël: Je t'ai tiré du milieu du peuple et t'ai établicomme chef sur 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 arraché le royaume à la maison de David et je te l'ai donné. Mais tu n'as pas été comme monserviteur David qui a observé mes commandements et qui m'a suivi de tout son coeur, ne faisant que ce qui meplaît;	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 tu as agi plus mal que tous tes prédécesseurs, tu es allé te fabriquer d'autres dieux, des idolesfondues, pour mon irritation, et tu m'as jeté derrière ton dos.	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 C'est pourquoi je vais faire venir le malheur sur la maison de Jéroboam, j'exterminerai tous lesmâles de la famille de Jéroboam, liés ou libres en Israël, je balayerai la maison de Jéroboam comme on balayecomplètement l'ordure.	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 Ceux de la famille de Jéroboam qui mourront dans la ville seront mangés par les chiens, et ceuxqui mourront dans la campagne seront mangés par les oiseaux du ciel, car Yahvé a parlé.	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 Pour toi, lève-toi et va chez toi: au moment où tes pieds entreront dans 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 fera son deuil et on l'ensevelira. En effet ce sera le seul de la famille de Jéroboam quisera mis dans un sépulcre, car en lui seul se sera trouvé quelque chose d'agréable à Yahvé, Dieu d'Israël, dans lamaison de Jéroboam.	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 un roi sur Israël qui exterminera la maison de Jéroboam.	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 fera vaciller Israël comme dans l'eau vacille le roseau, il arrachera Israël de ce bon paysqu'il a donné à ses pères et le dispersera de l'autre côté du Fleuve, parce qu'ils ont fait leurs pieux sacrés pourl'irritation de Yahvé.	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 abandonnera 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 partit. Elle arriva à Tirça et, lorsqu'elle franchit le seuil de lamaison, l'enfant était déjà mort.	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'ensevelit et tout Israël fit son deuil, comme avait dit Yahvé, par le ministère de son serviteurle prophète Ahiyya.	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 de l'histoire de Jéroboam, comment il guerroya et régna, cela est écrit au livre des Annalesdes 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 La durée du règne de Jéroboam fut de 22 années, puis il se coucha avec ses pères et son fils Nadabrégna 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 devint roi sur Juda; il avait 41 ans à son avènement et régna dix-sept ansà Jérusalem, la ville que, dans toutes les tribus d'Israël, Yahvé avait choisie pour y placer son Nom. Sa mères'appelait 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 Il fit ce qui déplaît à Yahvé: il irrita sa jalousie plus que n'avaient fait ses pères avec tous lespéchés qu'ils avaient commis,	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 qui s'étaient construit des hauts lieux, avaient dressé des stèles et des pieux sacrés sur toutecolline élevée et sous tout arbre verdoyant.	23 For they, too, built for themselves altars, and statues, and sacred groves, upon every high hill and under every leafy tree.
24 Même il y eut des prostitués sacrés dans le pays. Il imita les ignominies des nations que Yahvéavait chassées devant les enfants d'Israël.	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 roi Roboam, le roi d'Egypte, Sheshonq, marcha contre Jérusalem.	25 Then, in the fifth year of the reign of Rehoboam, Shishak, the king of Egypt, ascended against Jerusalem.
26 Il se fit livrer les trésors du Temple de Yahvé et ceux du palais royal, absolument tout, jusqu'à tousles boucliers d'or qu'avait faits Salomon.	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 A leur place, le roi Roboam fit des boucliers de bronze et les confia aux chefs des gardes, quiveillaient à la porte 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 allait au Temple de Yahvé, les gardes les prenaient puis il les rapportaient àla 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 de l'histoire de Roboam, tout ce qu'il a fait, cela n'est-il pas écrit au livre des Annales desrois 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 Il y eut tout le temps guerre entre Roboam et Jéroboam.	30 And there was war between Rehoboam and Jeroboam, during all the days.
31 Roboam se coucha avec ses pères et on l'enterra dans la Cité de David. Son fils Abiyyam régna àsa 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.
