2 Rois 7:9

Darby's French Translation

Et ils se dirent l'un à l'autre: Nous ne faisons pas bien. Ce jour est un jour de bonnes nouvelles, et nous nous taisons. Si nous attendons jusqu'à la lumière du matin, l'iniquité nous trouvera. Et maintenant, venez, allons et rapportons-le à la maison du roi.

La Bible Ostervald (1996)
Alors ils se dirent l'un à l'autre: Nous ne faisons pas bien; ce jour est un jour de bonnes nouvelles, et nous gardons le silence! Si nous attendons jusqu'à ce que le jour soit venu, le châtiment nous atteindra. Venez donc, allons l'annoncer à la maison du roi.

Louis Segond (1910)
Puis ils se dirent l'un à l'autre: Nous n'agissons pas bien! Cette journée est une journée de bonne nouvelle; si nous gardons le silence et si nous attendons jusqu'à la lumière du matin, le châtiment nous atteindra. Venez maintenant, et allons informer la maison du roi.

La Bible David Martin (1744)
Alors ils dirent l'un à l'autre : Nous ne faisons pas bien; ce jour est un jour de bonnes nouvelles, et nous ne disons mot! si nous attendons jusqu'à ce que le jour soit venu, l'iniquité nous trouvera; maintenant donc venez, allons, et faisons-le savoir à la maison du Roi.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Then they said one to another, we do not well,.... This is not right, to take this booty to ourselves; it is not doing justice to our brethren, and it may not prove well to ourselves in the issue:

this day is a day of good tidings; to be delivered from the enemy, and have such plenty of provisions thrown into their hands; it would be joyful tidings to the inhabitants of the city, did they know it:

and we hold our peace; and do not publish this good tidings, that others may share the benefit of it:

if we tarry till the morning light; when it will in course be discovered:

some mischief will come upon us; either from the Syrians, who they might fear would return by that time, or some of them lurking about would fall upon them and destroy them; or the king of Israel, when he came to know it, would be so incensed as to inflict some punishment on them; or they might expect some evil from the immediate hand of God:

now therefore come, that we may go and tell the king's household; acquaint some of his servants with what had happened.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

The lepers began to think that if they kept this important matter secret during the whole night for their own private advantage, when the morning came they would be found out, accused, and punished (see margin).
