| 1 | And Hezekiah sent to all Israel and Judah, and wrote letters also to Ephraim and Manasseh, that they should come to the house of the LORD at Jerusalem, to keep the passover unto the LORD God of Israel. | Puis Ezéchias envoya vers tout Israël et tout Juda, et il écrivit même des Lettres à Ephraïm et à Manassé, afin qu'ils vinssent en la maison de l'Eternel à Jérusalem, pour célébrer la Pâque à l'Eternel le Dieu d'Israël. | And Hezekiah sent to all Israel and Judah, and wrote letters also to Ephraim and Manasseh, that they should come to the house of Jehovah at Jerusalem, to keep the passover unto Jehovah, the God of Israel. |
| 2 | For the king had taken counsel, and his princes, and all the congregation in Jerusalem, to keep the passover in the second month. | Car le Roi et ses principaux officiers avec toute l'assemblée avaient tenu conseil à Jérusalem, de célébrer la Pâque au second mois; | For the king had taken counsel, and his princes, and all the assembly in Jerusalem, to keep the passover in the second month. |
| 3 | For they could not keep it at that time, because the priests had not sanctified themselves sufficiently, neither had the people gathered themselves together to Jerusalem. | A cause qu'ils ne l'avaient pas pu célébrer au temps ordinaire, parce qu'il n'y avait pas assez de Sacrificateurs sanctifiés, et que le peuple n'avait pas été assemblé à Jérusalem. | For they could not keep it at that time, because the priests had not sanctified themselves in sufficient number, neither had the people gathered themselves together to Jerusalem. |
| 4 | And the thing pleased the king and all the congregation. | Et la chose plut tellement au Roi et à toute l'assemblée, | And the thing was right in the eyes of the king and of all the assembly. |
| 5 | So they established a decree to make proclamation throughout all Israel, from Beersheba even to Dan, that they should come to keep the passover unto the LORD God of Israel at Jerusalem: for they had not done it of a long time in such sort as it was written. | Qu'ils déterminèrent de publier par tout Israël depuis Béersébah jusqu'à Dan, qu'on vînt célébrer la Pâque à l'Eternel le Dieu d'Israël à Jérusalem; car ils ne l'avaient point célébrée depuis longtemps de la manière que cela est prescrit. | So they established a decree to make proclamation throughout all Israel, from Beer-sheba even to Dan, that they should come to keep the passover unto Jehovah, the God of Israel, at Jerusalem: for they had not kept it in great numbers in such sort as it is written. |
| 6 | So the posts went with the letters from the king and his princes throughout all Israel and Judah, and according to the commandment of the king, saying, Ye children of Israel, turn again unto the LORD God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, and he will return to the remnant of you, that are escaped out of the hand of the kings of Assyria. | Les courriers donc allèrent avec des Lettres de la part du Roi et de ses principaux officiers, par tout Israël et Juda, et selon ce que le Roi avait commandé, en disant: Enfants d'Israël, retournez à l'Eternel le Dieu d'Abraham, d'Isaac, et d'Israël; et il se retournera vers le reste d'entre vous, qui est échappé des mains des Rois d'Assyrie. | So the posts went with the letters from the king and his princes throughout all Israel and Judah, and according to the commandment of the king, saying, Ye children of Israel, turn again unto Jehovah, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, that he may return to the remnant that are escaped of you out of the hand of the kings of Assyria. |
| 7 | And be not ye like your fathers, and like your brethren, which trespassed against the LORD God of their fathers, who therefore gave them up to desolation, as ye see. | Et ne soyez point comme vos pères, ni comme vos frères, qui ont péché contre l'Eternel le Dieu de leurs pères, c'est pourquoi il les a livrés pour être un sujet d'étonnement, comme vous voyez. | And be not ye like your fathers, and like your brethren, who trespassed against Jehovah, the God of their fathers, so that he gave them up to desolation, as ye see. |
| 8 | Now be ye not stiffnecked, as your fathers were, but yield yourselves unto the LORD, and enter into his sanctuary, which he hath sanctified for ever: and serve the LORD your God, that the fierceness of his wrath may turn away from you. | Maintenant ne roidissez point votre cou, comme ont fait vos pères; tendez les mains vers l'Eternel, et venez à son Sanctuaire, qu'il a sanctifié pour toujours, et servez l'Eternel votre Dieu; et l'ardeur de sa colère se détournera de vous. | Now be ye not stiffnecked, as your fathers were; but yield yourselves unto Jehovah, and enter into his sanctuary, which he hath sanctified for ever, and serve Jehovah your God, that his fierce anger may turn away from you. |
| 9 | For if ye turn again unto the LORD, your brethren and your children shall find compassion before them that lead them captive, so that they shall come again into this land: for the LORD your God is gracious and merciful, and will not turn away his face from you, if ye return unto him. | Car si vous vous retournez à l'Eternel, vos frères et vos enfants trouveront grâce auprès de ceux qui les ont emmenés prisonniers, et ils retourneront en ce pays, parce que l'Eternel votre Dieu est pitoyable et miséricordieux; et il ne détournera point sa face de vous, si vous vous retournez à lui. | For if ye turn again unto Jehovah, your brethren and your children shall find compassion before them that led them captive, and shall come again into this land: for Jehovah your God is gracious and merciful, and will not turn away his face from you, if ye return unto him. |
| 10 | So the posts passed from city to city through the country of Ephraim and Manasseh even unto Zebulun: but they laughed them to scorn, and mocked them. | Ainsi les courriers passaient de ville en ville par le pays d'Ephraïm et de Manassé, et ils allèrent même jusqu'à Zabulon; mais on se moquait d'eux, et on s'en raillait. | So the posts passed from city to city through the country of Ephraim and Manasseh, even unto Zebulun: but they laughed them to scorn, and mocked them. |
| 11 | Nevertheless divers of Asher and Manasseh and of Zebulun humbled themselves, and came to Jerusalem. | Toutefois quelques uns d'Aser, et de Manassé, et de Zabulon s'humilièrent, et vinrent à Jérusalem. | Nevertheless certain men of Asher and Manasseh and of Zebulun humbled themselves, and came to Jerusalem. |
| 12 | Also in Judah the hand of God was to give them one heart to do the commandment of the king and of the princes, by the word of the LORD. | La main de l'Eternel fut aussi sur Juda, pour leur donner un même coeur, afin qu'ils exécutassent le commandement du Roi et des principaux, selon la parole de l'Eternel. | Also upon Judah came the hand of God to give them one heart, to do the commandment of the king and of the princes by the word of Jehovah. |
| 13 | And there assembled at Jerusalem much people to keep the feast of unleavened bread in the second month, a very great congregation. | C'est pourquoi il s'assembla un grand peuple à Jérusalem pour célébrer la fête solennelle des pains sans levain, au second mois, de sorte qu'il y eut une fort grande assemblée. | And there assembled at Jerusalem much people to keep the feast of unleavened bread in the second month, a very great assembly. |
| 14 | And they arose and took away the altars that were in Jerusalem, and all the altars for incense took they away, and cast them into the brook Kidron. | Et ils se levèrent, et ôtèrent les autels qui étaient à Jérusalem; ils ôtèrent aussi tous les tabernacles dans lesquels on faisait des encensements, et les jetèrent au torrent de Cédron. | And they arose and took away the altars that were in Jerusalem, and all the altars for incense took they away, and cast them into the brook Kidron. |
| 15 | Then they killed the passover on the fourteenth day of the second month: and the priests and the Levites were ashamed, and sanctified themselves, and brought in the burnt offerings into the house of the LORD. | Puis on égorgea la Pâque le quatorzième jour du second mois; car les Sacrificateurs et les Lévites avaient eu honte, et s'étaient sanctifiés, et ils avaient apporté des holocaustes dans la maison de l'Eternel. | Then they killed the passover on the fourteenth [day] of the second month: and the priests and the Levites were ashamed, and sanctified themselves, and brought burnt-offerings into the house of Jehovah. |
| 16 | And they stood in their place after their manner, according to the law of Moses the man of God: the priests sprinkled the blood, which they received of the hand of the Levites. | C'est pourquoi ils se tinrent en leur place, selon leur charge, conformément à la Loi de Moïse, homme de Dieu; et les Sacrificateurs répandaient le sang, le prenant des mains des Lévites. | And they stood in their place after their order, according to the law of Moses the man of God: the priests sprinkled the blood [which they received] of the hand of the Levites. |
| 17 | For there were many in the congregation that were not sanctified: therefore the Levites had the charge of the killing of the passovers for every one that was not clean, to sanctify them unto the LORD. | Car il y en avait une grande partie dans cette assemblée, qui ne s'étaient point sanctifiés; c'est pourquoi les Lévites eurent la charge d'égorger les Pâques pour tous ceux qui n'étaient point nets, afin de les sanctifier à l'Eternel. | For there were many in the assembly that had not sanctified themselves: therefore the Levites had the charge of killing the passovers for every one that was not clean, to sanctify them unto Jehovah. |
| 18 | For a multitude of the people, even many of Ephraim, and Manasseh, Issachar, and Zebulun, had not cleansed themselves, yet did they eat the passover otherwise than it was written. But Hezekiah prayed for them, saying, The good LORD pardon every one | Car une grande partie du peuple, savoir la plupart de ceux d'Ephraïm, de Manassé, d'Issacar, et de Zabulon ne s'étaient point nettoyés, et ils mangèrent la Pâque autrement qu'il n'en est écrit; mais Ezéchias pria pour eux, en disant: L'Eternel, qui est bon, tienne la propitiation pour faite, | For a multitude of the people, even many of Ephraim and Manasseh, Issachar and Zebulun, had not cleansed themselves, yet did they eat the passover otherwise than it is written. For Hezekiah had prayed for them, saying, The good Jehovah pardon every one |
| 19 | That prepareth his heart to seek God, the LORD God of his fathers, though he be not cleansed according to the purification of the sanctuary. | De quiconque a tourné tout son coeur pour rechercher Dieu, l'Eternel le Dieu de ses pères, bien qu'il ne se soit pas nettoyé selon la purification du Sanctuaire. | that setteth his heart to seek God, Jehovah, the God of his fathers, though [he be] not [cleansed] according to the purification of the sanctuary. |
| 20 | And the LORD hearkened to Hezekiah, and healed the people. | Et l'Eternel exauça Ezéchias, et guérit le peuple. | And Jehovah hearkened to Hezekiah, and healed the people. |
| 21 | And the children of Israel that were present at Jerusalem kept the feast of unleavened bread seven days with great gladness: and the Levites and the priests praised the LORD day by day, singing with loud instruments unto the LORD. | Les enfants d'Israël donc qui se trouvèrent à Jérusalem, célébrèrent la fête solennelle des pains sans levain pendant sept jours avec une grande joie; et les Lévites et les Sacrificateurs louaient l'Eternel chaque jour, avec des instruments qui résonnaient à la louange de l'Eternel. | And the children of Israel that were present at Jerusalem kept the feast of unleavened bread seven days with great gladness; and the Levites and the priests praised Jehovah day by day, [singing] with loud instruments unto Jehovah. |
| 22 | And Hezekiah spake comfortably unto all the Levites that taught the good knowledge of the LORD: and they did eat throughout the feast seven days, offering peace offerings, and making confession to the LORD God of their fathers. | Et Ezéchias parla à tous les Lévites qui étaient entendus dans tout ce qui concerne le service de l'Eternel, il leur parla, dis je, selon leur coeur; et ils mangèrent des sacrifices dans la fête solennelle pendant sept jours, offrant des sacrifices de prospérités, et louant l'Eternel le Dieu de leurs pères. | And Hezekiah spake comfortably unto all the Levites that had good understanding [in the service] of Jehovah. So they did eat throughout the feast for the seven days, offering sacrifices of peace-offerings, and making confession to Jehovah, the God of their fathers. |
| 23 | And the whole assembly took counsel to keep other seven days: and they kept other seven days with gladness. | Et toute l'assemblée résolut de célébrer sept autres jours; et ainsi ils célébrèrent sept autres jours en joie. | And the whole assembly took counsel to keep other seven days; and they kept [other] seven days with gladness. |
| 24 | For Hezekiah king of Judah did give to the congregation a thousand bullocks and seven thousand sheep; and the princes gave to the congregation a thousand bullocks and ten thousand sheep: and a great number of priests sanctified themselves. | Car Ezéchias Roi de Juda fit présent à l'assemblée de mille veaux et de sept mille moutons, les principaux aussi firent présent à l'assemblée de mille veaux, et de dix mille moutons; et beaucoup de Sacrificateurs se sanctifièrent. | For Hezekiah king of Judah did give to the assembly for offerings a thousand bullocks and seven thousand sheep; and the princes gave to the assembly a thousand bullocks and ten thousand sheep: and a great number of priests sanctified themselves. |
| 25 | And all the congregation of Judah, with the priests and the Levites, and all the congregation that came out of Israel, and the strangers that came out of the land of Israel, and that dwelt in Judah, rejoiced. | Et toute l'assemblée de Juda se réjouit, avec les Sacrificateurs et les Lévites, et toute l'assemblée aussi qui était venue d'Israël, et les étrangers qui étaient venus du pays d'Israël, et qui habitaient en Juda. | And all the assembly of Judah, with the priests and the Levites, and all the assembly that came out of Israel, and the sojourners that came out of the land of Israel, and that dwelt in Judah, rejoiced. |
| 26 | So there was great joy in Jerusalem: for since the time of Solomon the son of David king of Israel there was not the like in Jerusalem. | Et il y eut une grande joie dans Jérusalem; car depuis le temps de Salomon fils de David Roi d'Israël il ne s'était point fait dans Jérusalem une telle chose. | So there was great joy in Jerusalem; for since the time of Solomon the son of David king of Israel there was not the like in Jerusalem. |
| 27 | Then the priests the Levites arose and blessed the people: and their voice was heard, and their prayer came up to his holy dwelling place, even unto heaven. | Puis les Sacrificateurs Lévites se levèrent, et bénirent le peuple; et leur voix fut exaucée, car leur prière parvint jusqu'aux cieux, la sainte demeure de l'Eternel. | Then the priests the Levites arose and blessed the people: and their voice was heard, and their prayer came up to his holy habitation, even unto heaven. |
