Jeremiah 52

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	BIBLES DES PEUPLES
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.	1 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.
2 And he did what was evil in the eyes of the Lord, in accord with all that Jehoiakim had done.	2 Il fit ce qui est mal au regard de Yahvé, tout comme l’avait fait Joïaqim.
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.	3 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.
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.	4 Le dixième jour du dixième mois de la neuvième année de son règne, Nabukodonozor roi de Babylone vint attaquer Jérusalem avec toute son armée. Ils campèrent face à la ville et l’entourèrent d’un retranchement.
5 And the city was besieged, until the eleventh year of king Zedekiah.	5 La ville fut assiégée jusqu’à la onzième année du roi Sédécias.
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.	6 Le 9 du quatrième mois, la famine était grande dans la ville, et même les résidents n’avaient plus de pain.
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.	7 Alors on ouvrit une brèche et tous les guerriers prirent la fuite; ils sortirent de la ville durant la nuit par le chemin de la Porte-entre-les-Deux-Murs, au-dessus du jardin du roi, en dépit des Kaldéens qui encerclaient la ville. Le roi et tous ses hommes prirent le chemin de la Steppe.
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.	8 Mais l’armée des Kaldéens se lança à leur poursuite et atteignit Sédécias dans les steppes de Jéricho; toute sa troupe se dispersa loin de lui.
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.	9 On saisit le roi et on l’amena devant le roi de Babylone à Ribla, dans le pays de Hamat; on le fit passer en jugement.
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.	10 Le roi de Babylone égorgea les fils de Sédécias sous ses yeux, il égorgea également tous les chefs de Juda à Ribla.
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.	11 Puis il creva les yeux de Sédécias et le fit lier avec une double chaîne de bronze. Le roi de Babylone l’emmena ainsi jusqu’à Babylone où il le fit enfermer jusqu’au jour de sa mort.
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.	12 Le 10 du cinquième mois - on était dans la dix-neuvième année de Nabukodonozor roi de Babylone - ce fut l’entrée à Jérusalem de Nébouzaradan, chef des gardes et officier du roi de Babylone.
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.	13 Il incendia la Maison de Yahvé, le palais royal et toutes les maisons de Jérusalem, c’est-à-dire toutes celles des grands personnages.
14 And the entire army of the Chaldeans, who were with the chief of the military, destroyed the entire wall all around Jerusalem.	14 L’armée des Kaldéens qui accompagnait le chef des gardes démolit tout le rempart autour de Jérusalem.
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.	15 Nébouzaradan, chef des gardes, déporta ce qui restait de la population demeurée dans la ville, ceux qui avaient déserté pour passer au roi de Babylone et le reste des artisans.
16 Yet truly, some of the poor of the land, Nebuzaradan, the leader of the military, left behind as vinedressers and farmers.	16 Mais Nébouzaradan, chef des gardes, laissa les petites gens du pays pour travailler comme vignerons et cultivateurs.
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.	17 Les Kaldéens brisèrent les colonnes de bronze de la Maison de Yahvé, les bases et la Mer de bronze qui étaient dans la Maison de Yahvé, et ils emportèrent tout ce bronze à Babylone.
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.	18 Ils emmenèrent aussi les chaudrons, les pelles, les couteaux, les cruches, les cuillères et tous les objets de bronze dont on se servait pour le culte.
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,	19 Le chef des gardes prit encore les petites cuves, les cassolettes, les cruchettes, les chaudrons, les chandeliers, les cuillères et les tasses: tout ce qui était en or ou en argent.
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.	20 Les deux colonnes, la Mer unique, les 12 bœufs de bronze qui étaient au-dessous, les bases qu’avait faites le roi Salomon pour la Maison de Yahvé: tous ces objets représentaient un poids de bronze incalculable.
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.	21 En effet les colonnes avaient 18 coudées de haut, un fil de 12 coudées en faisait le tour, leur épaisseur était de quatre doigts et elles étaient creuses.
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.	22 Il y avait au-dessus de chacune un chapiteau de bronze. La hauteur d’un chapiteau était de cinq coudées, un filet avec des grenades en faisait le tour, en haut du chapiteau. Tout était en bronze et les deux colonnes étaient semblables.
23 And there were ninety-six pomegranates hanging down; and there were one hundred pomegranates in all, surrounded by the little nets.	23 Les grenades étaient au nombre de 96, elles étaient en relief et le total des grenades qui faisaient le tour du filet était de 100.
24 And the chief of the military took Seraiah, the first priest, and Zephaniah, the second priest, and the three keepers of the vestibule.	24 Le chef des gardes arrêta Séraya, le grand prêtre, Séfanyas, le prêtre en second, et les trois gardiens de la porte.
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.	25 Un eunuque chargé des hommes de guerre fut trouvé en ville avec 7 hommes attachés au service du roi; le scribe du chef de l’armée, chargé d’enrôler les hommes du pays était également dans la ville avec 60 hommes.
26 Then Nebuzaradan, the chief of the military, took them, and he led them to the king of Babylon at Riblah.	26 Nébouzaradan, chef des gardes, les arrêta tous et les emmena au roi de Babylone, à Ribla.
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.	27 Le roi de Babylone les fit mettre à mort à Ribla, au pays de Hamat. Alors Juda fut déporté loin de sa terre.
28 This is the people whom Nebuchadnezzar carried away: in the seventh year, three thousand and twenty-three Jews;	28 Voici le chiffre de la population que Nabukodonozor déporta. La septième année: 3 023 Judéens.
29 in the eighteenth year of Nebuchadnezzar, eight hundred thirty-two souls from Jerusalem;	29 La dix-huitième année de Nabukodonozor, on emmena 832 personnes de Jérusalem.
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.	30 La vingt-troisième année de Nabukodonozor, Nébouzaradan, commandant de la garde, déporta 745 Judéens, soit au total: 4 600 personnes.
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.	31 Mais le 25 du douzième mois, en la trente-septième année de la déportation de Joïakin, roi de Juda, Évil-Mérodak, roi de Babylone, qui venait de monter sur le trône, libéra Joïakin et le fit sortir de prison.
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.	32 Il lui parla avec bonté et lui donna un siège plus élevé qu’aux autres rois qui étaient avec lui à Babylone.
33 And he changed his prison garments, and he ate bread in his sight always, all the days of his life.	33 Joïakin quitta ses habits de prisonnier et mangea tous les jours à la table du roi, jusqu’à sa mort.
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.	34 Sa nourriture fut constamment assurée par le roi de Babylone, jour après jour, jusqu’à la fin de sa vie.
