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,
But it happened that in the seventh month Ishmael son of Nethaniah son of Elishama, from the royal family, and some officers of the king, came—ten men were with him—to Gedaliah son of Ahikam, at Mizpah. They ate food together there in Mizpah.
2 Ishmael leh alhonpi pasal misom hochun, chemjam asatdoh un, Babylon lengpan gamvaipoa apansah Gedaliah chu, athattauve.
But Ishmael son of Nethaniah, and the ten men who were with him rose up and attacked Gedaliah son of Ahikam son of Shaphan, with the sword. Ishmael killed Gedaliah, whom the king of Babylon had put in charge of the land.
3 Ishmael in Gedaliah toh umkhom Judah miho leh Babylon sepaite jouse, abonchauvin athatgam heltai.
Then Ishmael killed all the Judeans who were with Gedaliah in Mizpah and the Chaldean fighting men found there.
4 Ajing nikhon, Gedaliah kitha thu, mi koimachan ahetdoh masang in,
Then it was the second day after the killing of Gedaliah, but no one knew.
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.
Some men came from Shechem, from Shiloh, and from Samaria—eighty men who had shaved their beard, torn their clothes, and cut themselves—with food offerings and frankincense in their hands to go to Yahweh's house.
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.
So Ishmael son of Nethaniah went out from Mizpah to meet them as they went, walking and weeping. Then it happened that as he encountered them, he said to them, “Come to Gedaliah son of Ahikam!”
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.
It came about that when they came into the city, Ishmael son of Nethaniah slaughtered them and threw them into a pit, he and the men who 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 there were ten men among them who said to Ishmael, “Do not kill us, for there are provisions of ours in a field: Wheat and barley, oil and honey.” So he did not kill them with their other companions.
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.
The cistern where Ishmael threw all the dead bodies that he had killed, was a large cistern that King Asa dug to make a defense against King Baasha of Israel. Ishmael son of Nethaniah filled it in with the dead.
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.
Next Ishmael captured all the other people who were in Mizpah, the king's daughters and all the people who were left in Mizpah whom Nebuzaradan the chief guard had assigned to Gedaliah son of Ahikam. So Ishmael son of Nethaniah captured them and went to cross over to the people of Ammon.
11 Kareah chapa Johanan leh aumpi gal lamkai danghon, Ishmael thilse bolchu ajadoh tauve.
But Johanan son of Kareah and all the army commanders with him heard of all the harm that Ishmael son of Nethaniah 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.
So they took all their men and went to fight against Ishmael son of Nethaniah. They found him at the great pool of Gibeon.
13 Hichun Ishmael in sohchanga akaiho chun, Johanan leh alhonpi gal lamkai ho amuphat un, akipah behseh un a eojah tauve.
Then it happened that when all the people who were with Ishmael saw Johanan son of Kareah and all the army commanders who were with him, they were very happy.
14 Sohchanga akaiho jouse chu, Johanan lang’a ahung lheilut soh keiyun, apangkhom tauvin ahi.
So all the people whom Ishmael had captured at Mizpah turned around and went to Johanan son of Kareah.
15 Hichun Ishmael leh aloi mi get chu Johanan khut’a kon in ajamdoh man’un, Ammon gamsung’a ajamlut tauve.
But Ishmael son of Nethaniah fled with eight men from Johanan. He went to the people 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.
Johanan son of Kareah and all the army commanders with him took from Mizpah all the people who had been rescued from Ishmael son of Nethaniah. This was after Ishmael had killed Gedaliah son of Ahikam. Johanan and his companions took the strong men, the fighting men, the women and children, and the eunuchs who had been rescued at Gibeon.
17 Amahon ami huhdoh chengseu chu, Bethlehem kom’a Geruth Kimham kho’a chun apuiyun, Egypt gam jonpai ding in akigouvin ahi.
Then they went and stayed for a while in Geruth Kimham, which is near Bethlehem. They were going to go to 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. They were afraid of them since Ishmael son of Nethaniah had killed Gedaliah son of Ahikam, whom the king of Babylon had put in charge of the land.
