Yeremiya 41
1 Pa mwezi wachisanu ndi chiwiri Ismaeli mwana wa Netaniya, mdzukulu wa Elisama amene anali wa banja laufumu ndiponso mmodzi wa atsogoleri a ankhondo a mfumu, anabwera ku Mizipa kwa Gedaliya mwana wa Ahikamu ndi anthu khumi. Pamene ankadya naye kumeneko,
And it came to pass in the seventh month, that Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, the son of Elishama, of the blood royal, and one of the great officers of the king, and ten men with him, came to Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam, to Mizpah; and they ate bread there together in Mizpah.
2 Ismaeli mwana wa Netaniya pamodzi ndi anthu khumi aja anayimirira ndi kupha ndi lupanga Gedaliya mwana wa Ahikamu, mdzukulu wa Safani. Choncho anapha munthu amene mfumu ya ku Babuloni inamusankha kukhala bwanamkubwa wa dzikolo.
Then Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, arose, and the ten men that were with him, and smote Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, with the sword, and slew him whom the king of Babylon had made governor over the land.
3 Ismaeli anaphanso Ayuda onse amene anali pamodzi ndi Gedaliya ku Mizipa, kuphatikizanso asilikali a Ababuloni amene anali ku Mizipako.
And all the Jews that were with him, with Gedaliah at Mizpah, and the Chaldaeans that were found there, the men of war, did Ishmael smite.
4 Mmawa mwake, anthu asanadziwe kuti Gedaliya waphedwa,
And it came to pass, the second day after he had slain Gedaliah, and no man knew it,
5 kunafika anthu 80 ochekera ku Sekemu, Silo ndi Samariya, amene anali atameta ndevu zawo, atangʼamba zovala zawo ndi kudzichekacheka. Iwowa anatenga chopereka cha ufa ndi lubani kuti adzapereke ku Nyumba ya Yehova.
that there came certain men from Shechem, from Shiloh, and from Samaria, fourscore persons, having their beards shaven, and their clothes rent, and having cut themselves, with an oblation and incense in their hands, to bring to the house of Jehovah.
6 Ismaeli mwana wa Netaniya anachoka ku Mizipa akulira kupita kukakumana nawo. Atakumana nawo, iye anati, “Bwerani mudzaonane ndi Gedaliya mwana wa Ahikamu.”
And Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, went forth from Mizpah to meet them, weeping all along as he went; and when he met them, he said to them, “Come ye to Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam.”
7 Atafika pakati pa mzinda, Ismaeli mwana wa Netaniya pamodzi ndi anthu amene anali naye anawapha anthuwo ndi kuwaponya mʼchitsime.
And when they had come into the midst of the city, Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, slew them, and cast them into the pit, he and the men that were with him.
8 Koma anthu khumi a gululo anawuza Ismaeli kuti, “Musatiphe! Tili ndi tirigu ndi barele, mafuta ndi uchi, zimene tabisa mʼmunda.” Choncho anawasiya ndipo sanawaphere pamodzi ndi anzawo aja.
But ten men were found among them who said to Ishmael, “Slay us not, for we have hidden stores in the field, of wheat, and barley, and oil, and honey.” He forbore, therefore, and slew them not with their brethren.
9 Tsono chitsime chimene anaponyamo mitembo ya anthu amene anawaphawo pamodzi ndi mtembo wa Gedaliya chinali chimene mfumu Asa anachikumba poopsedwa ndi Baasa mfumu ya Israeli. Ismaeli mwana wa Netaliya anachidzaza ndi mitembo.
Now the pit into which Ishmael cast all the dead bodies of the men whom he slew, together with Gedaliah, is the same which King Asa made on account of Baasha, king of Israel; and Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, filled it with them that were slain.
10 Pambuyo pake Ismaeli anatenga ukapolo anthu ena onse amene anali ku Mizipa: ana aakazi a mfumu pamodzi ndi ena onse amene anatsalira kumeneko, amene Nebuzaradani mtsogoleri wa asilikali olonda mfumu anapatsa Gedaliya mwana wa Ahikamu kuti akhale bwanamkubwa wawo. Ismaeli mwana wa Netaliya anatenga ukapolo anthuwa ndi kuwoloka nawo kumapita ku dziko la Aamoni.
And Ishmael took captive all the residue of the people that were in Mizpah, the king's daughters, and all the people that remained in Mizpah, whom Nebuzaradan, captain of the guard, had committed to the charge of Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam; even Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, took them captive, and set forth to go over [[the Jordan]] to the children of Ammon.
11 Pamene Yohanani mwana wa Kareya ndi atsogoleri onse a ankhondo amene anali naye pamodzi anamva zoyipa zonse zimene Ismaeli mwana wa Netaniya anachita,
But when Johanan, the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces that were with him, heard of all the evil which Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, had done,
12 anatenga ankhondo awo onse kupita kukamenyana ndi Ismaeli mwana wa Netaniya. Anakamupeza kufupi ndi chidziwe chachikulu cha ku Gibiyoni.
they took all the men, and went up to fight with Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, and came up with him at the great waters that are in Gibeon.
13 Pamene anthu onse amene Ismaeli anawagwira anaona Yohanani mwana wa Kareya pamodzi ndi atsogoleri a ankhondo amene anali naye, anasangalala.
And when all the people which were with Ishmael saw Johanan, the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces that were with him, they were glad;
14 Anthu onse amene Ismaeli anawagwira ukapolo ku Mizipa anabwerera ndi kupita kwa Yohanani mwana wa Kareya.
and all the people that Ishmael had carried away captive from Mizpah faced about and returned, and went to Johanan, the son of Kareah.
15 Koma Ismaeli pamodzi ndi anthu ake asanu ndi atatu, anathawa Yohanani ndi kuthawira kwa Aamoni.
But Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, escaped from Johanan with eight men, and went to the children of Ammon.
16 Kenaka Yohanani mwana wa Kareya pamodzi ndi atsogoleri onse a ankhondo amene anali naye anatsogolera anthu onse otsala a ku Mizipa amene anawapulumutsa kwa Ismaeli mwana wa Netaniya atapha Gedaliya mwana wa Ahikamu. Anthu amenewa anali: asilikali, akazi, ana ndi amuna ofulidwa otumikira mfumu amene anawatenga ku Gibiyoni.
Then took Johanan, the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces that were with him, all the remnant of the people whom he had recovered from Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, from Mizpah, after he had slain Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam, strong men, men of war, and women, and children, and eunuchs, whom he had brought back from Gibeon;
17 Ndipo ananyamuka nayima ku Geruti Kimuhamu pafupi ndi Betelehemu pa ulendo wawo wopita ku Igupto
and they went, and tarried in the inn of Chimham, which is near Bethlehem, in order to flee into Egypt
18 kuthawa Ababuloni. Iwo anaopa Ababuloniwo chifukwa Ismaeli mwana wa Netaniya anapha Gedaliya mwana wa Ahikamu, amene mfumu ya ku Babuloni inamuyika kukhala bwanamkubwa wa dzikolo.
from the Chaldaeans; for they were afraid of them, because Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, had slain Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam, whom the king of Babylon had made governor over the land.
