2 Kings 24

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	BIBLES DES PEUPLES
1 During his days, Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, ascended, and Jehoiakim became his servant for three years. And again he rebelled against him.	1 Durant ses jours, Nabukodonozor roi de Babylone envahit le pays, et Joïaqim lui fut soumis pendant trois ans; mais ensuite il se révolta contre lui.
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.	2 Yahvé envoya contre lui des bandes kaldéennes, des Araméens, des Moabites et des Ammonites; il les envoya contre Juda pour le faire disparaître, selon la parole que Yahvé avait dite par la bouche de ses serviteurs les prophètes.
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,	3 C’est sur l’ordre de Yahvé que tout cela est arrivé à Juda. Il voulait écarter Juda loin de lui à cause des péchés de Manassé,
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.	4 mais aussi à cause du sang innocent tellement répandu que Jérusalem en était remplie; Yahvé ne voulait plus pardonner.
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.	5 Le reste des actes de Joïaqim, tout ce qu’il a fait, cela n’est-il pas écrit dans le Livre des Chroniques des rois de Juda?
6 And Jehoiachin, his son, reigned in his place.	6 Joïaqim se coucha avec ses pères, et Joïakin, son fils, régna à sa place.
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.	7 Le roi d’Égypte ne sortit plus de ses frontières, car le roi de Babylone avait pris tout ce qui appartenait au roi d’Égypte, depuis le torrent d’Égypte jusqu’au fleuve de l’Euphrate.
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.	8 Joïakin avait 18 ans lorsqu’il monta sur le trône, il régna trois mois à Jérusalem; sa mère Néhouchta était fille d’Elnatan de Jérusalem.
9 And he did evil before the Lord, in accord with all that his father had done.	9 Il fit ce qui est mal au regard de Yahvé, tout comme l’avait fait son père.
10 At that time, the servants of Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, ascended against Jerusalem. And the city was encircled with fortifications.	10 En ce temps-là, les hommes de Nabukodonozor, roi de Babylone, marchèrent sur Jérusalem, et la ville fut assiégée.
11 And Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, went to the city, with his servants, so that he might fight against it.	11 Nabukodonozor, roi de Babylone, arriva pour attaquer la ville alors que ses hommes l’assiégeaient.
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.	12 Joïakin, roi de Juda, sortit pour se rendre au roi de Babylone avec sa mère, ses serviteurs, ses chefs et ses eunuques; le roi de Babylone le fit prisonnier la huitième année de son règne.
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.	13 Il emporta tous les trésors de la Maison de Yahvé et les trésors du palais royal. Il brisa tous les objets d’or que Salomon, roi d’Israël, avait faits pour la Maison de Yahvé, comme Yahvé l’avait prédit.
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.	14 Il déporta tout Jérusalem, tous les chefs et tous les hommes de guerre, soit 10 000 déportés en comptant tous les forgerons et tous les serruriers; du peuple-du-pays il ne laissa que les petites gens.
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,	15 Il déporta Joïakin à Babylone; il fit partir en déportation de Jérusalem vers Babylone, la mère du roi, ses femmes, ses eunuques et les personnages importants du pays.
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.	16 Le roi de Babylone fit déporter à Babylone 7 000 hommes qui valaient: 1 000 forgerons et serruriers et tous les hommes en état de porter les armes.
17 And he appointed Mattaniah, his uncle, in his place. And he imposed the name Zedekiah upon him.	17 Le roi de Babylone établit comme roi à la place de Joïakin son oncle Mattanyas dont il changea le nom en Sédécias.
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.	18 Sédécias avait 21 ans lorsqu’il monta sur le trône, il régna 11 ans à Jérusalem; sa mère Hamital était fille de Yirméya, de Libna.
19 And he did evil before the Lord, in accord with all that Jehoiakim had done.	19 Il fit ce qui est mal au regard de Yahvé, tout comme l’avait fait Joïaqim.
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.	20 Et c’est la colère de Yahvé qui détermina le sort de Jérusalem et de Juda jusqu’au jour où il finit par les rejeter loin de lui. Sédécias se révolta contre le roi de Babylone.
