Jeremiah 41
1 Khrah sarihto naah loe, siangpahrang ih caanawk, siangpahrang capa maeto ah kaom, Elishama capa Nethaniah, Nethaniah capa Ishmael loe, kami hato hoi nawnto Mizpah ah Ahihkam khaeah angzoh o; Mizpah ah buh nawnto caak o.
In the seventh month, Ishmael son of Nethaniah, the son of Elishama, who was a member of the royal family and one of the king’s chief officers, came with ten men to Gedaliah son of Ahikam at Mizpah, and they ate a meal together there.
2 To naah Nethaniah capa Ishmael hoi nawnto angzo kami hatonawk to angthawk o moe, Babylon siangpahrang mah prae ukkung ah suek ih, Shaphan capa Ahihkam, anih ih capa Gedaliah to sumsen hoiah hum o.
Then Ishmael son of Nethaniah and the ten men who were with him got up and struck down Gedaliah son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, with the sword, killing the one whom the king of Babylon had appointed to govern the land.
3 Ishmael mah Mizpah ah Gedaliah khaeah kaom, Judah kaminawk hoi nawnto Khaldian misatuh kaminawk doeh hum.
Ishmael also killed all the Jews who were with Gedaliah at Mizpah, as well as the Chaldean soldiers who were there.
4 Gedaliah humhaih ni hnetto haih khoek to, to tiah kaom hmuen to mi mah doeh panoek ai,
On the second day after the murder of Gedaliah, when no one yet knew about it,
5 Shekhem, Shiloh, Samaria hoiah angzo, angmacae ih pahni mui kang aat, khukbuennawk to asih moe, angmacae hoi angmacae kang aat kami, qui tazettonawk loe angbawnhaih sak hanah, canghum hoi hmuihoih tui to Angraeng im ah angzoh o haih.
eighty men who had shaved off their beards, torn their garments, and cut themselves came from Shechem, Shiloh, and Samaria, carrying grain offerings and frankincense for the house of the LORD.
6 To naah Nathaniah capa Ishmael loe nihcae dawt hanah, qah angsak moe, Mizpah hoiah caeh; nihcae to hnuk naah, Ahihkam capa Gedaliah khaeah angzo oh, tiah a naa.
And Ishmael son of Nethaniah went out from Mizpah to meet them, weeping as he went. When Ishmael encountered the men, he said, “Come to Gedaliah son of Ahikam.”
7 Nihcae vangpui thungah akun o pacoengah, Nathaniah capa Ishmael hoi nawnto kaom kaminawk mah, nihcae to hum o moe, tangqom thungah vah o.
And when they came into the city, Ishmael son of Nethaniah and the men with him slaughtered them and threw them into a cistern.
8 Toe kami hatonawk mah Ishmael khaeah, Kaicae hae hum hmah! Takaw, canghum, situi hoi khoituinawk taw ah ka hawk o, tiah a naa o. To pongah nihcae to kalah kaminawk hoi nawnto hum ai.
But ten of the men among them said to Ishmael, “Do not kill us, for we have hidden treasure in the field—wheat, barley, oil, and honey!” So he refrained from killing them with the others.
9 Ishmaael hoi Gedaliah mah nawnto hum ih kami qoknawk vahhaih tangqom loe kalah tangqom na ai, Asa siangpahrang mah Israel siangpahrang Basha to zit pongah takaeh ih tangqom khaw to ni; to tangqom khaw loe Nathanniah capa Ishmael mah kadueh qok hoiah koisak boeh.
Now the cistern into which Ishmael had thrown all the bodies of the men he had struck down along with Gedaliah was a large one that King Asa had made for fear of Baasha king of Israel. Ishmael son of Nethaniah filled it with the slain.
10 Ishmael mah Mizpah ah anghmat kaminawk boih, Babylon siangpahrang prae toepkung misatuh angraeng Nebuzaradan mah Ahihkam capa Gedaliah khaeah paek ih siangpahrang canunawk, Mizpah ah anghmat kaminawk to misong ah caeh haih boih; Nethaniah capa Ishmael mah nihcae to hoih moe, Ammon kaminawk ih prae bangah caeh haih.
Then Ishmael took captive all the remnant of the people of Mizpah—the daughters of the king along with all the others who remained in Mizpah—over whom Nebuzaradan captain of the guard had appointed Gedaliah son of Ahikam. Ishmael son of Nethaniah took them captive and set off to cross over to the Ammonites.
11 Nethaniah capa Ishmael mah sak ih kahoih ai hmuennawk boih, Kariah capa Johanan hoi a taengah kaom misatuh angraengnawk boih mah thaih o naah,
When Johanan son of Kareah and all the commanders of the armies with him heard of all the crimes that Ishmael son of Nethaniah had committed,
12 Nethanniah capa Ishmael tuk hanah, angmah ih kaminawk to kawk moe, a caeh o boih; anih to Gibeon ih tuili ohhaih ahmuen ah kae o.
they took all their men and went to fight Ishmael son of Nethaniah. And they found him near the great pool in Gibeon.
13 Ishmael khaeah kaom kaminawk boih mah, Kariah capa Johanan hoi misatuh angraengnawk boih to hnuk naah kawnh o.
When all the people with Ishmael saw Johanan son of Kareah and all the commanders of the army with him, they rejoiced,
14 Ishmael mah Mizpah hoi misong ah caeh haih ih kaminawk loe amlaem o moe, Kariah capa Johanan khaeah caeh o.
and all the people whom Ishmael had taken captive at Mizpah turned and went over to Johanan son of Kareah.
15 Toe Nethaniah capa Ishmael hoi kami tazettonawk loe Johannan khae hoi loih o moe, Ammon kaminawk ih prae ah cawnh o.
But Ishmael son of Nethaniah and eight of his men escaped from Johanan and went to the Ammonites.
16 Nethaniah capa Ishmael mah Ahihkam capa Gedaliah hum pae pacoengah, Kariah capa Johanan hoi a taengah kaom misatuh angraengnawk boih, Nethanniah capa Ishmael ban thung hoiah lak ih Mizpah ah anghmat kaminawk boih, thacak misatuh kaminawk, nongpatanawk, nawktanawk hoi tangyat mii dueh kaminawk boih to, Gibeon hoiah caeh haih moe,
Then Johanan son of Kareah and all the commanders of the armies with him took the whole remnant of the people from Mizpah whom he had recovered from Ishmael son of Nethaniah after Ishmael had killed Gedaliah son of Ahikam: the soldiers, women, children, and court officials he had brought back from Gibeon.
17 Khaldian kaminawk ih ban thung hoi loih thai hanah a caeh o pacoengah, Izip prae thung akunhaih, Bethlehem vangpui taeng ih Khimham ah anghak o.
And they went and stayed in Geruth Chimham, near Bethlehem, in order to proceed into Egypt
18 Prae ukkung ah Babylon siangpahrang mah suek ih Ahihkam capa Gedaliah to Nethaniah capa Ishmael mah hum pae ving pongah, nihcae mah Khaldian kaminawk to zit o.
to escape the Chaldeans. For they were afraid of the Chaldeans because Ishmael son of Nethaniah had struck down Gedaliah son of Ahikam, whom the king of Babylon had appointed over the land.
