Louis Segond 1910 (French) LSG
New International Version NIV
19 Les gens de la ville dirent à Elisée: Voici, le séjour de la ville est bon, comme le voit mon seigneur; mais les eaux sont mauvaises, et le pays est stérile.
19
The people of the city said to Elisha, “Look, our lord, this town is well situated, as you can see, but the water is bad and the land is unproductive.”
20 Il dit: Apportez-moi un plat neuf, et mettez-y du sel. Et ils le lui apportèrent.
20
“Bring me a new bowl,” he said, “and put salt in it.” So they brought it to him.
21 Il alla vers la source des eaux, et il y jeta du sel, et dit: Ainsi parle l'Eternel: J'assainis ces eaux; il n'en proviendra plus ni mort, ni stérilité.
21
Then he went out to the spring and threw the salt into it, saying, “This is what the LORD says: ‘I have healed this water. Never again will it cause death or make the land unproductive.’ ”
22 Et les eaux furent assainies, jusqu'à ce jour, selon la parole qu'Elisée avait prononcée.
22
And the water has remained pure to this day, according to the word Elisha had spoken.
23 Il monta de là à Béthel; et comme il cheminait à la montée, des petits garçons sortirent de la ville, et se moquèrent de lui. Ils lui disaient: Monte, chauve! monte, chauve!
23
From there Elisha went up to Bethel. As he was walking along the road, some boys came out of the town and jeered at him. “Get out of here, baldy!” they said. “Get out of here, baldy!”
24 Il se retourna pour les regarder, et il les maudit au nom de l'Eternel. Alors deux ours sortirent de la forêt, et déchirèrent quarante-deux de ces enfants.
24
He turned around, looked at them and called down a curse on them in the name of the LORD. Then two bears came out of the woods and mauled forty-two of the boys.
25 De là il alla sur la montagne du Carmel, d'où il retourna à Samarie.
25
And he went on to Mount Carmel and from there returned to Samaria.
