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 son of Nethaniah son of Elishama of the seed royal and chiefs of the king, and ten men with him, came in, unto Gedaliah son of Ahikam, at Mizpah, —and they did there eat bread 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 arose Ishmael son of Nethaniah—and the ten men who were with him and they smote Gedaliah son of Ahikam son of Shaphan—with the sword and slew him whom the king of Babylon had set in charge, over the land.
3 Ismaeli anaphanso Ayuda onse amene anali pamodzi ndi Gedaliya ku Mizipa, kuphatikizanso asilikali a Ababuloni amene anali ku Mizipako.
And Ishmael smote, all the Jews who were with him even with Gedaliah in Mizpah, and the Chaldeans who were found there the men of war.
4 Mmawa mwake, anthu asanadziwe kuti Gedaliya waphedwa,
And it came to pass, on the second day, after he had slain Gedaliah, not, a man, knowing 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 men came in from Shechem, from Shiloh, and from Samaria, —eighty men, with beards shaven and clothes rent who also had cut themselves, with a meal-offering and frankincense in their hand, to bring them into the house of Yahweh.
6 Ismaeli mwana wa Netaniya anachoka ku Mizipa akulira kupita kukakumana nawo. Atakumana nawo, iye anati, “Bwerani mudzaonane ndi Gedaliya mwana wa Ahikamu.”
Then went forth Ishmael son of Nethaniah to meet them out of Mizpah, weeping all along as he went, —and it came to pass when he fell in with them, that he said unto them, Come ye in unto Gedaliah son of Ahikam.
7 Atafika pakati pa mzinda, Ismaeli mwana wa Netaniya pamodzi ndi anthu amene anali naye anawapha anthuwo ndi kuwaponya mʼchitsime.
And so it was when they had come into the midst of the city, that Ishmael son of Nethaniah slew them and cast them into the midst of a pit, he and the men who 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 unto Ishmael—Do not put us to death, for we have secret treasures in the field, wheat and barley and oil and honey, So he forbare and put them not to death in the midst of 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 whereinto Ishmael cast all the dead bodies of the men whom he had smitten, was a large pit which King Asa had made for fear of Baasha king of Israel, —the same, did Ishmael son of Nethaniah fill with the 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.
Then did Ishmael take captive all the remnant of the people that was in Mizpah, —the daughters of the king, and all the people that were left remaining in Mizpah, whom Nebuzaradan chief of the royal executioners had committed unto Gedaliah son of Ahikam, —yea Ishmael son of Nethaniah took them captive, and departed to pass over unto the sons 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 son of Kareah and all the captains of the forces who were with him heard of all the wickedness which Ishmael 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.
then took they all the men, and went their way to fight with Ishmael son of Nethaniah, —and found him near the many waters which were in Gibeon.
13 Pamene anthu onse amene Ismaeli anawagwira anaona Yohanani mwana wa Kareya pamodzi ndi atsogoleri a ankhondo amene anali naye, anasangalala.
And it came to pass, when all the people who were with Ishmael saw Johanan son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces who were with him, then were they glad.
14 Anthu onse amene Ismaeli anawagwira ukapolo ku Mizipa anabwerera ndi kupita kwa Yohanani mwana wa Kareya.
So all the people whom Ishmael had carried away captive out of Mizpah, compassed about, and returned and went their way unto Johanan son of Kareah.
15 Koma Ismaeli pamodzi ndi anthu ake asanu ndi atatu, anathawa Yohanani ndi kuthawira kwa Aamoni.
But, Ishmael son of Nethaniah, escaped with eight men, from the face of Johanan, —and departed unto the sons 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 did Johanan son of Kareah and all the captains of the forces who were with him take all the remnant of the people whom he had recovered from Ishmael son of Nethaniah out of Mizpah, after he had smitten Gedaliah son of Ahikam, —mighty men, men of war, and women and children and eunuchs, whom he had recovered out of Gibeon;
17 Ndipo ananyamuka nayima ku Geruti Kimuhamu pafupi ndi Betelehemu pa ulendo wawo wopita ku Igupto
and they departed, and dwelt in the khan of Chimham, which is near Bethlehem, —that they might go to enter 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.
because of the Chaldeans, for they were afraid of them, —because Ishmael son of Nethaniah had smitten Gedaliah son of Ahikam, whom the king of Babylon had set in charge over the land.
