| 1 | After these things, and the establishment thereof, Sennacherib king of Assyria came, and entered into Judah, and encamped against the fenced cities, and thought to win them for himself. | Après ces choses, et lorsqu'elles furent bien établies, Sanchérib, Roi des Assyriens vint, et entra en Judée, et se campa contre les villes fortes, faisant son compte de les séparer pour les avoir l'une après l'autre. | After these things, and this faithfulness, Sennacherib king of Assyria came, and entered into Judah, and encamped against the fortified cities, and thought to win them for himself. |
| 2 | And when Hezekiah saw that Sennacherib was come, and that he was purposed to fight against Jerusalem, | Et Ezéchias voyant que Sanchérib était venu, et que sa face était tournée contre Jérusalem pour y faire la guerre; | And when Hezekiah saw that Sennacherib was come, and that he was purposed to fight against Jerusalem, |
| 3 | He took counsel with his princes and his mighty men to stop the waters of the fountains which were without the city: and they did help him. | Il prit conseil avec ses principaux officiers, et ses plus vaillants hommes, de boucher les eaux des fontaines qui étaient hors de la ville; et ils l'aidèrent à le faire. | he took counsel with his princes and his mighty men to stop the waters of the fountains which were without the city; and they helped him. |
| 4 | So there was gathered much people together, who stopped all the fountains, and the brook that ran through the midst of the land, saying, Why should the kings of Assyria come, and find much water? | Car un grand peuple s'assembla, et ils bouchèrent toutes les fontaines, et le torrent qui se répandait par le pays, disant: Pourquoi les Rois des Assyriens trouveraient ils à leur venue une abondance d'eaux? | So there was gathered much people together, and they stopped all the fountains, and the brook that flowed through the midst of the land, saying, Why should the kings of Assyria come, and find much water? |
| 5 | Also he strengthened himself, and built up all the wall that was broken, and raised it up to the towers, and another wall without, and repaired Millo in the city of David, and made darts and shields in abundance. | Il se fortifia aussi, et bâtit toute la muraille où l'on avait fait brèche, et l'éleva jusqu'aux tours; et il bâtit une autre muraille par dehors, et répara Millo en la cité de David, et fit faire beaucoup de javelots, et de boucliers. | And he took courage, and built up all the wall that was broken down, and raised [it] up to the towers, and the other wall without, and strengthened Millo [in] the city of David, and made weapons and shields in abundance. |
| 6 | And he set captains of war over the people, and gathered them together to him in the street of the gate of the city, and spake comfortably to them, saying, | Et il ordonna des capitaines de guerre sur le peuple, et les assembla auprès de lui dans la place de la porte de la ville, et leur parla selon leur coeur, en disant: | And he set captains of war over the people, and gathered them together to him in the broad place at the gate of the city, and spake comfortably to them, saying, |
| 7 | Be strong and courageous, be not afraid nor dismayed for the king of Assyria, nor for all the multitude that is with him: for there be more with us than with him: | Fortifiez vous, et vous renforcez; ne craignez point, et ne soyez point effrayés à cause du Roi des Assyriens, et de toute la multitude qui est avec lui; car un plus puissant que tout ce qui est avec lui, est avec nous. | Be strong and of good courage, be not afraid nor dismayed for the king of Assyria, nor for all the multitude that is with him; for there is a greater with us than with him: |
| 8 | With him is an arm of flesh; but with us is the LORD our God to help us, and to fight our battles. And the people rested themselves upon the words of Hezekiah king of Judah. | Le bras de la chair est avec lui, mais l'Eternel notre Dieu est avec nous, pour nous aider, et pour conduire nos batailles; et le peuple se rassura sur les paroles d'Ezéchias Roi de Juda. | with him is an arm of flesh; but with us is Jehovah our God to help us, and to fight our battles. And the people rested themselves upon the words of Hezekiah king of Judah. |
| 9 | After this did Sennacherib king of Assyria send his servants to Jerusalem, (but he himself laid siege against Lachish, and all his power with him,) unto Hezekiah king of Judah, and unto all Judah that were at Jerusalem, saying, | Après ces choses Sanchérib Roi des Assyriens, étant encore devant Lakis, et ayant avec lui toutes les forces de son Royaume, envoya ses serviteurs à Jérusalem, vers Ezéchias Roi de Juda, et vers tous les Juifs qui étaient à Jérusalem, pour leur dire: | After this did Sennacherib king of Assyria send his servants to Jerusalem, (now he was before Lachish, and all his power with him,) unto Hezekiah king of Judah, and unto all Judah that were at Jerusalem, saying, |
| 10 | Thus saith Sennacherib king of Assyria, Whereon do ye trust, that ye abide in the siege in Jerusalem? | Ainsi a dit Sanchérib Roi des Assyriens: Sur quoi vous assurez vous, que vous demeuriez à Jérusalem pour y être assiégés? | Thus saith Sennacherib king of Assyria, Whereon do ye trust, that ye abide the siege in Jerusalem? |
| 11 | Doth not Hezekiah persuade you to give over yourselves to die by famine and by thirst, saying, The LORD our God shall deliver us out of the hand of the king of Assyria? | Ezéchias ne vous induit il pas à vous exposer à la mort par la famine et par la soif, en disant: L'Eternel notre Dieu nous délivrera de la main du Roi des Assyriens? | Doth not Hezekiah persuade you, to give you over to die by famine and by thirst, saying, Jehovah our God will deliver us out of the hand of the king of Assyria? |
| 12 | Hath not the same Hezekiah taken away his high places and his altars, and commanded Judah and Jerusalem, saying, Ye shall worship before one altar, and burn incense upon it? | Cet Ezéchias n'a t il pas ôté les hauts lieux et les autels de l'Eternel, et n'a t il pas commandé à Juda et à Jérusalem, en disant: Vous vous prosternerez devant un seul autel, et vous ferez fumer sur cet autel vos sacrifices? | Hath not the same Hezekiah taken away his high places and his altars, and commanded Judah and Jerusalem, saying, Ye shall worship before one altar, and upon it shall ye burn incense? |
| 13 | Know ye not what I and my fathers have done unto all the people of other lands? were the gods of the nations of those lands any ways able to deliver their lands out of mine hand? | Ne savez vous pas ce que nous avons fait moi et mes ancêtres à tous les peuples de divers pays? Les dieux des nations de divers pays ont ils pu en aucune manière délivrer leur pays de ma main? | Know ye not what I and my fathers have done unto all the peoples of the lands? Were the gods of the nations of the lands in any wise able to deliver their land out of my hand? |
| 14 | Who was there among all the gods of those nations that my fathers utterly destroyed, that could deliver his people out of mine hand, that your God should be able to deliver you out of mine hand? | Qui sont ceux de tous les dieux de ces nations que mes ancêtres ont entièrement détruites, qui aient délivré leur peuple de ma main, pour croire que votre Dieu vous puisse délivrer de ma main? | Who was there among all the gods of those nations which my fathers utterly destroyed, that could deliver his people out of my hand, that your God should be able to deliver you out of my hand? |
| 15 | Now therefore let not Hezekiah deceive you, nor persuade you on this manner, neither yet believe him: for no god of any nation or kingdom was able to deliver his people out of mine hand, and out of the hand of my fathers: how much less shall your God deliver you out of mine hand? | Maintenant donc qu'Ezéchias ne vous abuse point, et qu'il ne vous séduise plus de cette manière, et ne le croyez pas; car si aucun Dieu, de quelque nation, ou de quelque Royaume que ç'ait été, n'a pu délivrer son peuple de ma main, ni de la main de mes ancêtres, combien moins votre Dieu pourra t il vous délivrer de ma main? | Now therefore let not Hezekiah deceive you, nor persuade you after this manner, neither believe ye him; for no god of any nation or kingdom was able to deliver his people out of my hand, and out of the hand of my fathers: how much less shall your God deliver you out of my hand? |
| 16 | And his servants spake yet more against the LORD God, and against his servant Hezekiah. | Ses serviteurs parlèrent encore contre l'Eternel Dieu, et contre Ezéchias son serviteur. | And his servants spake yet more against Jehovah God, and against his servant Hezekiah. |
| 17 | He wrote also letters to rail on the LORD God of Israel, and to speak against him, saying, As the gods of the nations of other lands have not delivered their people out of mine hand, so shall not the God of Hezekiah deliver his people out of mine hand. | Il écrivit aussi des lettres pour blasphémer l'Eternel, le Dieu d'Israël, et pour parler ainsi contre lui: Comme les dieux des nations de divers pays n'ont pu délivrer leur peuple de ma main, ainsi le Dieu d'Ezéchias ne pourra point délivrer son peuple de ma main. | He wrote also letters, to rail on Jehovah, the God of Israel, and to speak against him, saying, As the gods of the nations of the lands, which have not delivered their people out of my hand, so shall not the God of Hezekiah deliver his people out of my hand. |
| 18 | Then they cried with a loud voice in the Jews' speech unto the people of Jerusalem that were on the wall, to affright them, and to trouble them; that they might take the city. | Ces envoyés crièrent aussi à haute voix en Langue Judaïque au peuple de Jérusalem qui était sur les murailles, pour leur donner de la crainte et les épouvanter, afin de prendre la ville. | And they cried with a loud voice in the Jews` language unto the people of Jerusalem that were on the wall, to affright them, and to trouble them; that they might take the city. |
| 19 | And they spake against the God of Jerusalem, as against the gods of the people of the earth, which were the work of the hands of man. | Et ils parlèrent du Dieu de Jérusalem, comme des dieux des peuples de la terre, qui ne sont qu'un ouvrage de mains d'homme. | And they spake of the God of Jerusalem, as of the gods of the peoples of the earth, which are the work of men`s hands. |
| 20 | And for this cause Hezekiah the king, and the prophet Isaiah the son of Amoz, prayed and cried to heaven. | C'est pourquoi le Roi Ezéchias et Esaïe le Prophète fils d'Amots prièrent Dieu pour ce sujet, et crièrent vers les Cieux. | And Hezekiah the king, and Isaiah the prophet the son of Amoz, prayed because of this, and cried to heaven. |
| 21 | And the LORD sent an angel, which cut off all the mighty men of valour, and the leaders and captains in the camp of the king of Assyria. So he returned with shame of face to his own land. And when he was come into the house of his god, they that came forth of his own bowels slew him there with the sword. | Et l'Eternel envoya un Ange, qui extermina entièrement tous les hommes forts et vaillants, et les Chefs, et les capitaines qui étaient au camp du Roi des Assyriens, de sorte qu'il s'en retourna tout confus en son pays. Et lorsqu'il fut entré dans la maison de son Dieu, ceux qui étaient sortis de ses propres entrailles le tuèrent avec l'épée. | And Jehovah sent an angel, who cut off all the mighty men of valor, and the leaders and captains, in the camp of the king of Assyria. So he returned with shame of face to his own land. And when he was come into the house of his god, they that came forth from his own bowels slew him there with the sword. |
| 22 | Thus the LORD saved Hezekiah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem from the hand of Sennacherib the king of Assyria, and from the hand of all other, and guided them on every side. | Ainsi l'Eternel délivra Ezéchias et les habitants de Jérusalem de la main de Sanchérib Roi des Assyriens, et de la main de tous ces peuples, et leur donna le moyen d'aller partout à l'entour en sûreté. | Thus Jehovah saved Hezekiah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem from the hand of Sennacherib the king of Assyria, and from the hand of all [others], and guided them on every side. |
| 23 | And many brought gifts unto the LORD to Jerusalem, and presents to Hezekiah king of Judah: so that he was magnified in the sight of all nations from thenceforth. | Et plusieurs apportèrent des présents à l'Eternel dans Jérusalem, et des choses exquises à Ezéchias Roi de Juda; de sorte qu'après cela il fut élevé, à la vue de toutes les nations. | And many brought gifts unto Jehovah to Jerusalem, and precious things to Hezekiah king of Judah; so that he was exalted in the sight of all nations from thenceforth. |
| 24 | In those days Hezekiah was sick to the death, and prayed unto the LORD: and he spake unto him, and he gave him a sign. | En ces jours là Ezéchias fut malade jusqu'à la mort, et il pria l'Eternel, qui l'exauça, et lui donna un signe. | In those days Hezekiah was sick even unto death: and he prayed unto Jehovah; and he spake unto him, and gave him a sign. |
| 25 | But Hezekiah rendered not again according to the benefit done unto him; for his heart was lifted up: therefore there was wrath upon him, and upon Judah and Jerusalem. | Mais Ezéchias ne fut pas reconnaissant du bienfait qu'il avait reçu; car son coeur fut élevé, c'est pourquoi il y eut indignation contre lui, et contre Juda et Jérusalem. | But Hezekiah rendered not again according to the benefit done unto him; for his heart was lifted up: therefore there was wrath upon him, and upon Judah and Jerusalem. |
| 26 | Notwithstanding Hezekiah humbled himself for the pride of his heart, both he and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so that the wrath of the LORD came not upon them in the days of Hezekiah. | Mais Ezéchias s'humilia de ce qu'il avait élevé son coeur, tant lui que les habitants de Jérusalem; c'est pourquoi l'indignation de l'Eternel ne vint point sur eux durant les jours d'Ezéchias. | Notwithstanding Hezekiah humbled himself for the pride of his heart, both he and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so that the wrath of Jehovah came not upon them in the days of Hezekiah. |
| 27 | And Hezekiah had exceeding much riches and honour: and he made himself treasuries for silver, and for gold, and for precious stones, and for spices, and for shields, and for all manner of pleasant jewels; | Ezéchias donc eut de grandes richesses et une grande gloire, et amassa des trésors d'argent, d'or, de pierres précieuses, de choses aromatiques, de boucliers, et de toute sorte de vaisselle précieuse. | And Hezekiah had exceeding much riches and honor: and he provided him treasuries for silver, and for gold, and for precious stones, and for spices, and for shields, and for all manner of goodly vessels; |
| 28 | Storehouses also for the increase of corn, and wine, and oil; and stalls for all manner of beasts, and cotes for flocks. | Et il fit des magasins pour la récolte du froment, du vin, et de l'huile; et des étables pour toute sorte de bêtes, et des rangées dans les étables. | store-houses also for the increase of grain and new wine and oil; and stalls for all manner of beasts, and flocks in folds. |
| 29 | Moreover he provided him cities, and possessions of flocks and herds in abundance: for God had given him substance very much. | Il se fit aussi des villes, et il acquit des troupeaux du gros et du menu bétail en abondance; car Dieu lui avait donné de fort grandes richesses. | Moreover he provided him cities, and possessions of flocks and herds in abundance; for God had given him very much substance. |
| 30 | This same Hezekiah also stopped the upper watercourse of Gihon, and brought it straight down to the west side of the city of David. And Hezekiah prospered in all his works. | Ezéchias boucha aussi le haut canal des eaux de Guihon, et en conduisit les eaux droit en bas vers l'Occident de la Cité de David. Ainsi Ezéchias prospéra dans tout ce qu'il fit. | This same Hezekiah also stopped the upper spring of the waters of Gihon, and brought them straight down on the west side of the city of David. And Hezekiah prospered in all his works. |
| 31 | Howbeit in the business of the ambassadors of the princes of Babylon, who sent unto him to enquire of the wonder that was done in the land, God left him, to try him, that he might know all that was in his heart. | Mais lorsque les ambassadeurs des Princes de Babylone, qui avaient envoyé vers lui, pour s'informer du miracle qui était arrivé sur la terre, furent venus vers lui, Dieu l'abandonna pour l'éprouver, afin de connaître tout ce qui était en son coeur. | Howbeit in [the business of] the ambassadors of the princes of Babylon, who sent unto him to inquire of the wonder that was done in the land, God left him, to try him, that he might know all that was in his heart. |
| 32 | Now the rest of the acts of Hezekiah, and his goodness, behold, they are written in the vision of Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amoz, and in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel. | Le reste des actions d'Ezéchias, et ses gratuités, voilà elles sont écrites dans la Vision d'Esaïe le Prophète fils d'Amots, outre ce qui en est écrit au Livre des Rois de Juda et d'Israël. | Now the rest of the acts of Hezekiah, and his good deeds, behold, they are written in the vision of Isaiah the prophet the son of Amoz, in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel. |
| 33 | And Hezekiah slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the chiefest of the sepulchres of the sons of David: and all Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem did him honour at his death. And Manasseh his son reigned in his stead. | Puis Ezéchias s'endormit avec ses pères, et on l'ensevelit au plus haut des sépulcres des fils de David; et tout Juda, et Jérusalem lui firent honneur en sa mort, et Manassé son fils régna en sa place. | And Hezekiah slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the ascent of the sepulchres of the sons of David: and all Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem did him honor at his death.
