Louis Segond 1910 (French) LSG
New International Version NIV
14 Ainsi Jéhu, fils de Josaphat, fils de Nimschi, forma une conspiration contre Joram. -Or Joram et tout Israël défendaient Ramoth en Galaad contre Hazaël, roi de Syrie;
14
So Jehu son of Jehoshaphat, the son of Nimshi, conspired against Joram. (Now Joram and all Israel had been defending Ramoth Gilead against Hazael king of Aram,
15 mais le roi Joram s'en était retourné pour se faire guérir à Jizreel des blessures que les Syriens lui avaient faites, lorsqu'il se battait contre Hazaël, roi de Syrie. -Jéhu dit: Si c'est votre volonté, personne ne s'échappera de la ville pour aller porter la nouvelle à Jizreel.
15
but King Joram had returned to Jezreel to recover from the wounds the Arameans had inflicted on him in the battle with Hazael king of Aram.) Jehu said, “If you desire to make me king, don’t let anyone slip out of the city to go and tell the news in Jezreel.”
16 Et Jéhu monta sur son char et partit pour Jizreel, car Joram y était alité, et Achazia, roi de Juda, était descendu pour le visiter.
16
Then he got into his chariot and rode to Jezreel, because Joram was resting there and Ahaziah king of Judah had gone down to see him.
17 La sentinelle placée sur la tour de Jizreel vit venir la troupe de Jéhu, et dit: Je vois une troupe. Joram dit: Prends un cavalier, et envoie-le au-devant d'eux pour demander si c'est la paix.
17
When the lookout standing on the tower in Jezreel saw Jehu’s troops approaching, he called out, “I see some troops coming.” “Get a horseman,” Joram ordered. “Send him to meet them and ask, ‘Do you come in peace?’ ”
18 Le cavalier alla au-devant de Jéhu, et dit: Ainsi parle le roi: Est-ce la paix? Et Jéhu répondit: Que t'importe la paix? Passe derrière moi. La sentinelle en donna avis, et dit: Le messager est allé jusqu'à eux, et il ne revient pas.
18
The horseman rode off to meet Jehu and said, “This is what the king says: ‘Do you come in peace?’ ” “What do you have to do with peace?” Jehu replied. “Fall in behind me.” The lookout reported, “The messenger has reached them, but he isn’t coming back.”
19 Joram envoya un second cavalier, qui arriva vers eux et dit: Ainsi parle le roi: Est-ce la paix? Et Jéhu répondit: Que t'importe la paix? Passe derrière moi.
19
So the king sent out a second horseman. When he came to them he said, “This is what the king says: ‘Do you come in peace?’ ” Jehu replied, “What do you have to do with peace? Fall in behind me.”
20 La sentinelle en donna avis, et dit: Il est allé jusqu'à eux, et il ne revient pas. Et le train est comme celui de Jéhu, fils de Nimschi, car il conduit d'une manière insensée.
20
The lookout reported, “He has reached them, but he isn’t coming back either. The driving is like that of Jehu son of Nimshi—he drives like a maniac.”
21 Alors Joram dit: Attelle! Et on attela son char. Joram, roi d'Israël, et Achazia, roi de Juda, sortirent chacun dans son char pour aller au-devant de Jéhu, et ils le rencontrèrent dans le champ de Naboth de Jizreel.
21
“Hitch up my chariot,” Joram ordered. And when it was hitched up, Joram king of Israel and Ahaziah king of Judah rode out, each in his own chariot, to meet Jehu. They met him at the plot of ground that had belonged to Naboth the Jezreelite.
22 Dès que Joram vit Jéhu, il dit: Est-ce la paix, Jéhu? Jéhu répondit: Quoi, la paix! tant que durent les prostitutions de Jézabel, ta mère, et la multitude de ses sortilèges!
22
When Joram saw Jehu he asked, “Have you come in peace, Jehu?” “How can there be peace,” Jehu replied, “as long as all the idolatry and witchcraft of your mother Jezebel abound?”
23 Joram tourna bride et s'enfuit, et il dit à Achazia: Trahison, Achazia!
23
Joram turned about and fled, calling out to Ahaziah, “Treachery, Ahaziah!”
24 Mais Jéhu saisit son arc, et il frappa Joram entre les épaules: la flèche sortit par le coeur, et Joram s'affaissa dans son char.
24
Then Jehu drew his bow and shot Joram between the shoulders. The arrow pierced his heart and he slumped down in his chariot.
25 Jéhu dit à son officier Bidkar: Prends-le, et jette-le dans le champ de Naboth de Jizreel; car souviens-t'en, lorsque moi et toi, nous étions ensemble à cheval derrière Achab, son père, l'Eternel prononça contre lui cette sentence:
25
Jehu said to Bidkar, his chariot officer, “Pick him up and throw him on the field that belonged to Naboth the Jezreelite. Remember how you and I were riding together in chariots behind Ahab his father when the LORD spoke this prophecy against him:
26 J'ai vu hier le sang de Naboth et le sang de ses fils, dit l'Eternel, et je te rendrai la pareille dans ce champ même, dit l'Eternel! Prends-le donc, et jette-le dans le champ, selon la parole de l'Eternel.
26
‘Yesterday I saw the blood of Naboth and the blood of his sons, declares the LORD, and I will surely make you pay for it on this plot of ground, declares the LORD.’ Now then, pick him up and throw him on that plot, in accordance with the word of the LORD.”
27 Achazia, roi de Juda, ayant vu cela, s'enfuit par le chemin de la maison du jardin. Jéhu le poursuivit, et dit: Lui aussi, frappez-le sur le char! Et on le frappa à la montée de Gur, près de Jibleam. Il se réfugia à Meguiddo, et il y mourut.
27
When Ahaziah king of Judah saw what had happened, he fled up the road to Beth Haggan. Jehu chased him, shouting, “Kill him too!” They wounded him in his chariot on the way up to Gur near Ibleam, but he escaped to Megiddo and died there.
28 Ses serviteurs le transportèrent sur un char à Jérusalem, et ils l'enterrèrent dans son sépulcre avec ses pères, dans la ville de David.
28
His servants took him by chariot to Jerusalem and buried him with his ancestors in his tomb in the City of David.
29 Achazia était devenu roi de Juda la onzième année de Joram, fils d'Achab.
29
(In the eleventh year of Joram son of Ahab, Ahaziah had become king of Judah.)
