And there was a great cry of the people and of their wives against their brethren the Jews. |
Et il y eut un grand cri du peuple et de leurs femmes contre les Juifs, leurs frères. |
|
And there was a great cry of the people and of their wives against their brethren the Jews. |
Entonces hubo gran clamor del pueblo y de sus mujeres contra sus hermanos judíos. |
| 2 |
For there were that said, We, our sons, and our daughters, are many: therefore we take up corn for them, that we may eat, and live. |
Et il y en avait qui disaient : Nous, nos fils et nos filles, nous sommes nombreux, et nous demandons du blé afin que nous mangions et que nous vivions. |
|
And there were that said, We, our sons and our daughters, are many, and we must procure corn that we may eat and live. |
Había quien decía: Nosotros, nuestros hijos y nuestras hijas, somos muchos; por tanto, hemos pedido prestado grano para comer y vivir. |
| 3 |
Some also there were that said, We have mortgaged our lands, vineyards, and houses, that we might buy corn, because of the dearth. |
Et il y en avait qui disaient : Nous avons dû engager nos champs et nos vignes et nos maisons pour nous procurer du blé dans la disette. |
|
And there were that said, We have had to pledge our fields, and our vineyards, and our houses, that we might procure corn in the dearth. |
Y había quienes decían: Hemos empeñado nuestras tierras, nuestras viñas y nuestras casas, para comprar grano, a causa del hambre. |
| 4 |
There were also that said, We have borrowed money for the king’s tribute, and that upon our lands and vineyards. |
Et il y en avait qui disaient : Nous avons emprunté de l'argent sur nos champs et nos vignes pour le tribut du roi ; |
|
And there were that said, We have borrowed money for the king's tribute upon our fields and vineyards; |
Y había quienes decían: Hemos tomado prestado dinero para el tributo del rey, sobre nuestras tierras y viñas. |
| 5 |
Yet now our flesh is as the flesh of our brethren, our children as their children: and, lo, we bring into bondage our sons and our daughters to be servants, and some of our daughters are brought unto bondage already: neither is it in our power to redeem them; for other men have our lands and vineyards. |
et pourtant notre chair est comme la chair de nos frères, nos fils comme leurs fils ; et voici, nous réduisons nos fils et nos filles à la servitude, et parmi nos filles, il y en a qui sont [déjà] asservies, et il n'est pas au pouvoir de nos mains [de les racheter], car nos champs et nos vignes sont à d'autres. |
|
yet now our flesh is as the flesh of our brethren, our children as their children; and behold, we must bring into bondage our sons and our daughters to be servants, and some of our daughters are brought into bondage already ; neither is it in the power of our hand to redeem them , for other men have our fields and our vineyards. |
Ahora bien, nuestra carne es como la carne de nuestros hermanos, nuestros hijos como sus hijos; y he aquí que nosotros dimos nuestros hijos y nuestras hijas a servidumbre, y algunas de nuestras hijas lo están ya, y no tenemos posibilidad de rescatarlas, porque nuestras tierras y nuestras viñas son de otros. |
| 6 |
And I was very angry when I heard their cry and these words. |
Et je fus très-irrité lorsque j'entendis leur cri et ces paroles. |
|
And I was very angry when I heard their cry and these words. |
Y me enojé en gran manera cuando oí su clamor y estas palabras. |
| 7 |
Then I consulted with myself, and I rebuked the nobles, and the rulers, and said unto them, Ye exact usury, every one of his brother. And I set a great assembly against them. |
Et mon cœur se consulta sur cela, et je querellai les nobles et les chefs, et je leur dis : Vous exigez de l'intérêt chacun de son frère ! Et je leur opposai une grande congrégation ; |
|
And I consulted with myself; and I remonstrated with the nobles and the rulers, and said to them, Ye exact usury, every one of his brother! And I set a great assembly against them. |
Entonces lo medité, y reprendí a los nobles y a los oficiales, y les dije: ¿Exigís interés cada uno a vuestros hermanos?a Y convoqué contra ellos una gran asamblea, |
| 8 |
And I said unto them, We after our ability have redeemed our brethren the Jews, which were sold unto the heathen; and will ye even sell your brethren? or shall they be sold unto us? Then held they their peace, and found nothing to answer. |
et je leur dis : Nous avons racheté, selon notre pouvoir, nos frères, les Juifs, qui avaient été vendus aux nations ; et vous voulez vous-mêmes vendre vos frères ? Et c'est à nous qu'ils se vendraient ? Et ils se turent et ne trouvèrent rien à dire. |
|
And I said to them, We, according to our ability, have redeemed our brethren the Jews, who were sold to the nations; and will ye even sell your brethren? or shall they be sold unto us? And they were silent and found no answer. |
y les dije: Nosotros según nuestras posibilidades rescatamos a nuestros hermanos judíos que habían sido vendidos a las naciones; ¿y vosotros vendéis aun a vuestros hermanos, y serán vendidos a nosotros? Y callaron, pues no tuvieron qué responder. |
| 9 |
Also I said, It is not good that ye do: ought ye not to walk in the fear of our God because of the reproach of the heathen our enemies? |
Et je dis : Ce que vous faites n'est pas bien. Ne devriez-vous pas marcher dans la crainte de notre Dieu, pour n'être pas dans l'opprobre parmi les nations qui nous sont ennemies ? |
|
And I said, The thing that ye do is not good. Ought ye not to walk in the fear of our God, so as not to be the reproach of the nations our enemies? |
Y dije: No es bueno lo que hacéis. ¿No andaréis en el temor de nuestro Dios, para no ser oprobio de las naciones enemigas nuestras? |
| 10 |
I likewise, and my brethren, and my servants, might exact of them money and corn: I pray you, let us leave off this usury. |
Moi aussi, mes frères et mes jeunes hommes, nous pourrions exiger d'eux, comme intérêt, de l'argent et du blé. Laissons, je vous prie, cette usure. |
|
I also, my brethren and my servants, we might exact usury of them, money and corn. I pray you, let us leave off this usury. |
También yo y mis hermanos y mis criados les hemos prestado dinero y grano; quitémosles ahora este gravamen. |
| 11 |
Restore, I pray you, to them, even this day, their lands, their vineyards, their oliveyards, and their houses, also the hundredth part of the money, and of the corn, the wine, and the oil, that ye exact of them. |
Rendez-leur, aujourd'hui même, je vous prie, leurs champs, leurs vignes, leurs oliviers et leurs maisons, et le centième de l'argent et du blé, du moût et de l'huile, que vous avez exigé d'eux comme intérêt. |
|
Restore, I pray you, to them this very day their fields, their vineyards, their olive-gardens, and their houses, also the hundredth part of the money, and of the corn, the wine and the oil, that ye have exacted of them. |
Os ruego que les devolváis hoy sus tierras, sus viñas, sus olivares y sus casas, y la centésima parte del dinero, del grano, del vino y del aceite, que demandáis de ellos como interés. |
| 12 |
Then said they, We will restore them, and will require nothing of them; so will we do as thou sayest. Then I called the priests, and took an oath of them, that they should do according to this promise. |
Et ils dirent : Nous les rendrons et nous ne leur demanderons rien ; nous ferons ainsi, comme tu l'as dit. Et j'appelai les sacrificateurs, et je les fis jurer de faire selon cette parole. |
|
And they said, We will restore them , and will require nothing of them; so will we do, as thou hast said. And I called the priests, and took an oath of them, that they should do according to this promise. |
Y dijeron: Lo devolveremos, y nada les demandaremos; haremos así como tú dices. Entonces convoqué a los sacerdotes, y les hice jurar que harían conforme a esto. |
| 13 |
Also I shook my lap, and said, So God shake out every man from his house, and from his labour, that performeth not this promise, even thus be he shaken out, and emptied. And all the congregation said, Amen, and praised the Lord. And the people did according to this promise. |
Je secouai aussi le pan de ma robe, et je dis : Que Dieu secoue ainsi de sa maison et du fruit de son labeur quiconque n'accomplira pas cette parole, et qu'il soit ainsi secoué et à vide ! Et toute la congrégation dit : Amen ! Et ils louèrent l'Éternel. Et le peuple fit selon cette parole. |
|
Also I shook my lap, and said, So God shake out every man from his house and from his earnings, that performeth not this promise: even thus be he shaken out and emptied! And all the congregation said, Amen! And they praised Jehovah. And the people did according to this promise. |
Además sacudí mi vestido, y dije: Así sacuda Dios de su casa y de su trabajo a todo hombre que no cumpliere esto, y así sea sacudido y vacío. Y respondió toda la congregación: ¡Amén! y alabaron a Jehová. Y el pueblo hizo conforme a esto. |
| 14 |
Moreover from the time that I was appointed to be their governor in the land of Judah, from the twentieth year even unto the two and thirtieth year of Artaxerxes the king, that is, twelve years, I and my brethren have not eaten the bread of the governor. |
Dès le jour aussi où je fus établia leur gouverneur dans le pays de Juda, depuis la vingtième année jusqu'à la trente-deuxième année du roi Artaxerxès, pendant douze ans, ni moi, ni mes frères, nous n'avons mangé le pain du gouverneur. |
|
Moreover from the time that I was appointed to be their governor in the land of Judah, from the twentieth year even to the thirty-second year of Artaxerxes the king, twelve years, I and my brethren have not eaten the bread of the governor. |
También desde el día que me mandó el rey que fuese gobernador de ellos en la tierra de Judá, desde el año veinte del rey Artajerjes hasta el año treinta y dos, doce años, ni yo ni mis hermanos comimos el pan del gobernador. |
| 15 |
But the former governors that had been before me were chargeable unto the people, and had taken of them bread and wine, beside forty shekels of silver; yea, even their servants bare rule over the people: but so did not I, because of the fear of God. |
Mais les gouverneurs précédents qui avaient été avant moi, avaient été à charge au peuple, et ils avaient pris d'eux du pain et du vin, et, de plus, quarante sicles d'argent ; leurs jeunes hommes aussi dominaient sur le peuple. Mais moi, je n'ai pas fait ainsi, à cause de la crainte de Dieu. |
|
But the former governors that were before me had been chargeable to the people, and had taken of them bread and wine, besides forty shekels of silver: even their servants bore rule over the people. But I did not so, because of the fear of God. |
Pero los primeros gobernadores que fueron antes de mí abrumaron al pueblo, y tomaron de ellos por el pan y por el vino más de cuarenta siclos de plata, y aun sus criados se enseñoreaban del pueblo; pero yo no hice así, a causa del temor de Dios. |
| 16 |
Yea, also I continued in the work of this wall, neither bought we any land: and all my servants were gathered thither unto the work. |
Et j'ai aussi tenu ferme, dans ce travail de la muraille, et nous n'avons acheté aucun champ, et tous mes jeunes hommes étaient rassemblés là pour l'ouvrage. |
|
Yea, also I applied myself to this work of the wall, and we bought no fields; and all my servants were gathered thither for the work. |
También en la obra de este muro restauré mi parte, y no compramos heredad; y todos mis criados juntos estaban allí en la obra. |
| 17 |
Moreover there were at my table an hundred and fifty of the Jews and rulers, beside those that came unto us from among the heathen that are about us. |
J'avais aussi à ma table cent cinquante Juifs et chefs, outre ceux qui nous venaient du milieu des nations qui nous entouraient. |
|
And there were at my table a hundred and fifty of the Jews and the rulers, besides those that came to us from among the nations that were about us. |
Además, ciento cincuenta judíos y oficiales, y los que venían de las naciones que había alrededor de nosotros, estaban a mi mesa. |
| 18 |
Now that which was prepared for me daily was one ox and six choice sheep; also fowls were prepared for me, and once in ten days store of all sorts of wine: yet for all this required not I the bread of the governor, because the bondage was heavy upon this people. |
Or ce qui m'était apprêté pour un jour, c'était un bœuf, [et] six moutons choisis ; on m'apprêtait aussi de la volaille, et, tous les dix jours, toutes sortes de vins en abondance ; et avec cela, je n'ai point réclamé le pain du gouverneur, parce que le service pesait lourdement sur ce peuple. |
|
And that which was prepared daily was one ox and six choice sheep; also fowls were prepared for me, and once in ten days all sorts of wine in abundance. Yet for all this I demanded not the bread of the governor; for the service was heavy upon this people. |
Y lo que se preparaba para cada día era un buey y seis ovejas escogidas; también eran preparadas para mí aves, y cada diez días vino en toda abundancia; y con todo esto nunca requerí el pan del gobernador, porque la servidumbre de este pueblo era grave. |
| 19 |
Think upon me, my God, for good, according to all that I have done for this people. |
Souviens-toi en bien pour moi, ô mon Dieu, de tout ce que j'ai fait pour ce peuple ! |
|
Remember for me, my God, for good, all that I have done for this people. |
Acuérdate de mí para bien, Dios mío, y de todo lo que hice por este pueblo. |
