Jeremiah 41

1 Chuche kum, lha sagi lhin in, leng insungmi khat, Nethaniah chapa Ishmael, leng inpia jong vaihom pipu khat chu, pasal misomtoh Mizpah khoa Gedaliah toh kimuto ding in acheuvin ahi. Abonchauva an anehkhom laitah un,

Now it came to pass in the seventh month, that Ishmael the son of Nethanyah the son of Elishama', of the royal seed, and the chiefs of the king, even ten men with him, came unto Gedalyahu the son of Achikam to Mizpah; and they ate there bread together in Mizpah.

2 Ishmael leh alhonpi pasal misom hochun, chemjam asatdoh un, Babylon lengpan gamvaipoa apansah Gedaliah chu, athattauve.

Then arose Ishmael the son of Nethanyah, and the ten men that were with him, and smote Gedalyahu the son of Achikam the son of Shaphan with the sword, and put to death him, whom the king of Babylon had appointed governor over the land.

3 Ishmael in Gedaliah toh umkhom Judah miho leh Babylon sepaite jouse, abonchauvin athatgam heltai.

And all the Jews that were with him, even with Gedalyahu, at Mizpah, and the Chaldeans that were found there, even the men of war, did Ishmael slay.

4 Ajing nikhon, Gedaliah kitha thu, mi koimachan ahetdoh masang in,

And it came to pass on the second day after he had put Gedalyahu to death, while no man knew of it,

5 Shechem khoa kon, Shiloh khoa chule Samaria khoa kon in, pasal somget hochu, Pakai Houin a, thilto bolding in ahungtauve. Amaho chun anemul akihet tol uvin, aponsil u abottel uvin, chule atahsa chungu aki-atpop un, Houin a toding Chang le gimnamtwi ahinchoi uvin ahi.

That there came certain men from Shechem, from Shiloh, and from Samaria, eighty men [in all], having their beards shaven, and their clothes rent, and having cut themselves, with meat-offerings and frankincense in their hand, to bring the same to the house of the Lord.

6 Hichun, amaho chutoh gakimuto dimg in, Ishmael in Mizpah akon in akipat doh in, kappum pum in achei. Amaho kom alhunphat in, aman ajah uva, “Hungun, Ahikam chapa Gedaliah khu, ipin alhunden hitam, Hung veuvin,” ati.

And Ishmael the son of Nethanyah went forth from Mizpah to meet them, going along and weeping: and it came to pass as he met them, that he said unto them, Come to Gedalyahu the son of Achikam.

7 Amaho chu khopi sung ahunglut phat un, Ismael leh alhonpi ho chun, hiche miho chu, misom tilou adangse abonchauvin athatgam’un, twikul a alehlut tauvin ahi.

And it happened, as they entered into the midst of the city, that Ishmael the son of Nethanyah slaughtered them, [and cast them] into the midst of the cistern, he, and the men that were with him.

8 Adang misom hochun, Ismael jah’a, “Neithat hih un, keihon loujaova suhlou chang tampi, sakol chang tampi, Olive thao leh Khoiju tampi kasel uve, nangdin nahin choipeh nauving’e,” atiuvin ahi. Hijeh chun amaho chu ahinghoiyin ahi.

But ten men were found among them that said unto Ishmael, Slay us not; for we have some things hidden in the field, [such as] wheat, and barley, and oil, and honey. So he forbore, and slew them not in the midst of their brethren.

9 Ishmael in amitha ho alelutna twikul chu, Asa lengpan Israel lengpa Baasha douna-a, chule ama kivenne ding’a, Mizpah khoa kulpi asem laiya, anasemdoh twikul lentah ahi. Hiche twikul chu Ishmael in amitha ho adipsettan ahi.

And the cistern wherein Ishmael cast all the corpses of the men, whom he had slain in company with Gedalyahu, is the same which king Assa had made on account of Ba'sha the king of Israel: this did Ishmael the son of Nethanyah fill with slain persons.

10 Hichun Ishmael in Mizpah khoa umden ho, lengpa Chanute ahiuvin chule midang akidalha amoh chengse ahiuvin, in-ngah lamkaipa Nebuzaradan vettup na noiya umjouse chu, abonchauvin aman in ahentai. Ismael in amaho chu, Ammon mite gamlang’a sohchang ding in akaiyin, akipatdoh tai.

Then did Ishmael carry away captive all the residue of the people that were in Mizpah, the king's daughters, and all the people that were remaining in Mizpah, whom Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard had entrusted to Gedalyahu the son of Achikam: and Ishmael the son of Nethanyah carried them away captive, and went off to pass over to the children of Ammon.

11 Kareah chapa Johanan leh aumpi gal lamkai danghon, Ishmael thilse bolchu ajadoh tauve.

But when Jochanan the son of Kareach, and all the captains of the armies that were with him, heard of all the evil that Ishmael the son of Nethanyah had done:

12 Hijeh chun, amahon amiteu akipuiyun, Nethaniah chapa Ishmael sat ding in adel tauvin ahi. Amahon Ishmael chu Gebion mun’a twikul-len umna-a chun aphapan tauvin ahi.

Then did they take all the men, and went to fight with Ishmael the son of Nethanyah, and found him by the great water[-pool] that is near Gib'on.

13 Hichun Ishmael in sohchanga akaiho chun, Johanan leh alhonpi gal lamkai ho amuphat un, akipah behseh un a eojah tauve.

And it came to pass, when all the people who were with Ishmael saw Jochanan the son of Kareach, and all the captains of the armies that were with him, that they were rejoiced.

14 Sohchanga akaiho jouse chu, Johanan lang’a ahung lheilut soh keiyun, apangkhom tauvin ahi.

And all the people that Ishmael had carried away captive from Mizpah turned about and returned, and went unto Jochanan the son of Kareach.

15 Hichun Ishmael leh aloi mi get chu Johanan khut’a kon in ajamdoh man’un, Ammon gamsung’a ajamlut tauve.

But Ishmael the son of Nethanyah escaped with eight men from the presence of Jochanan, and he went to the children of 'Ammon.

16 Chuin Kareah chapa Johanan leh alhonpi gal lamkai hochun, Ishmael in Gedaliah atha jouva sohchang’a akaimangho: Sepai ho, numei ho, chapangho, chule nu-kiso ho, Gibeon mun’a ahuhdoh chengseu chu abonchauvin apui tauve.

Then took Jochanan the son of Kareach, and all the captains of the armies that were with him, all the remnant of the people whom he had recovered from Ishmael the son of Nethanyah, from Mizpah, after he had slain Gedalyah the son of Achikam, the adult males, the men of war, and the women, and the children, and the eunuchs, whom he had brought back from Gib'on;

17 Amahon ami huhdoh chengseu chu, Bethlehem kom’a Geruth Kimham kho’a chun apuiyun, Egypt gam jonpai ding in akigouvin ahi.

And they went, and remained in Geruth-Kimham, which is by Beth-lechem, to go to enter into Egypt,

18 Ajeh chu, Babylon miten Ahikam chapa Gedaliah, Babylon lengpan Judah gamvaipo a apansah pachu, Ishmael in athattai tithu ahin jahdoh ding chu, kicha ahiuve.

Because of the Chaldeans; for they were afraid of them; because Ishmael the son of Nethanyah had slain Gedalyahu the son of Achikam, whom the king of Babylon had appointed governor over the land.
