< Jeremiah 41 >

1 Hahoi, thapa yung sari nah Elishama capa, Nethaniah capa Ishmael, siangpahrang thaw tawk e thung tami buet touh ni tami hra touh a hrawi teh Mizpah kho e Ahikam capa Gedaliah koe a tho awh teh, Mizpah khovah rei a canei awh.
Now it came to pass in the seventh month, [that] Ishmael the son of Nethaniah the son of Elishama, of the seed royal, and the princes of the king, even ten men with him, came unto Gedaliah the son of Ahikam to Mizpah; and there they did eat bread together in Mizpah.
2 Nathaniah capa Ishmael teh a hrawi e tami hra touh hoi a thaw awh teh, SAphan capa Ahikam capa, Babilon siangpahrang ni ram kaukkung lah a hruek e Gedaliah hah tahloi hoi a thei awh.
Then arose Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, 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 Ahni koe kaawm e Judahnaw hoi Mizpah hoi Gedaliah koe kaawmnaw hoi Khaldean tarankatuknaw pueng hai Ishmael ni he a thei.
Ishmael also slew all the Jews that were with him, [even] with Gedaliah, at Mizpah, and the Chaldeans that were found there, [and] the men of war.
4 Gedaliah a thei hnukkhu, hnin apâhni nah hettelah ao, apinihai panue hoehnahlan,
And it came to pass the second day after he had slain Gedaliah, and no man knew [it],
5 Shekhem hoi Shiloh hoi Samaria kho dawk hoi tami 80 touh hah amamae pâkhamuen a ngaw awh teh, khohnanaw a phi awh teh, amahoima a kâbouk awh. Vaiyei thuengnae hoi hmuituinaw a sin awh teh, BAWIPA im dawk thuengnae sak hanelah a tho awh.
That there came certain from Shechem, from Shiloh, and from Samaria, [even] fourscore men, having their beards shaven, and their clothes rent, and having cut themselves, with offerings and incense in their hand, to bring [them] to the house of the LORD.
6 Nethaniah capa Ishmael teh Mizpah kho dawk, ahnimouh dawn hanelah a tâco. Lam hoi a ka, hahoi ahnimouh a hmu toteh, ahnimouh koevah, Ahikam capa Gedaliah koe tho awh telah ati.
And Ishmael the son of Nethaniah went forth from Mizpah to meet them, weeping all along as he went: and it came to pass, as he met them, he said unto them, Come to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam.
7 Hahoi, khopui a pha awh toteh, Nethaniah capa Ishmael hoi a hrawi e taminaw ni ahnimouh a thei teh tangkom thung he a tâkhawng.
And it was [so], when they came into the midst of the city, that Ishmael the son of Nethaniah slew them, [and cast them] into the midst of the pit, he, and the men that [were] with him.
8 Ahnimouh thung hoi tami 10 touh ni na thet han awh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, ram thung cakang hoi satui hoi khoitui naw ka hro awh telah ati awh. Hottelah ahnimouh teh a hmaunawnghanaw thung hoi thet awh hoeh.
But ten men were found among them that said unto Ishmael, Slay us not: for we have treasures in the field, of wheat, and of barley, and of oil, and of honey. So he forbare, and slew them not among their brethren.
9 Ishmael ni Gedaliah hoi a thei e taminaw a ro tâkhawngnae tangkom hah siangpahrang Asa ni Isarel siangpahrang Baasha a taki dawk a sak e doeh. Nethaniah capa Ishmael ni hote tangkom teh tami ro hoi a kawi sak.
Now the pit wherein Ishmael had cast all the dead bodies of the men, whom he had slain because of Gedaliah, [was] it which Asa the king had made for fear of Baasha king of Israel: [and] Ishmael the son of Nethaniah filled it with [them that were] slain.
10 Hahoi, Isarel ni Mizpah kho e kacawirae siangpahrang canu hoi Ahikam capa Gedaliah koe e ramvengnaw kahrawikung Nebuzaradan ni a kut dawk a ta e hoi Mizpah kho kaawmnaw pueng san lah a ceikhai. Nethaniah capa Ishmael ni ahnimouh teh san lah a ceikhai teh Ammonnaw e ram pâtam laihoi a tâco.
Then Ishmael carried away captive all the residue of the people that [were] in Mizpah, [even] the king’s daughters, and all the people that remained in Mizpah, whom Nebuzar-adan the captain of the guard had committed to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam: and Ishmael the son of Nethaniah carried them away captive, and departed to go over to the Ammonites.
11 Hatei, Koreah capa Johanan hoi ahni koe kaawm e ransahu kahrawikungnaw ni Nethaniah capa Ishmael ni a sak e hno hawihoeh tie a panue awh teh,
But when Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces that [were] with him, heard of all the evil that Ishmael the son of Nethaniah had done,
12 taminaw pueng a ceikhai teh, Nethanel capa Ishmael tuk hanelah a cei awh, tui moikapap onae hmuen Gibeon vah a hmu awh.
Then they took all the men, and went to fight with Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, and found him by the great waters that [are] in Gibeon.
13 Hahoi, Ishmael koe kaawm e taminaw pueng ni Koreah capa Johanan hoi ahni koe e ransahu a hmu awh toteh puenghoi a lunghawi awh.
Now it came to pass, [that] 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, then they were glad.
14 Hat toteh, Ishmael ni Mizpah kho hoi san lah a hrawi e taminaw pueng a ban sak teh, Koreah capa Johanan koe a cei awh.
So all the people that Ishmael had carried away captive from Mizpah cast about and returned, and went unto Johanan the son of Kareah.
15 Hatei, Nethaniah capa Ishmael teh tami 8 touh hoi Johanan koehoi a yawng teh, Ammon taminaw koe a cei awh.
But Ishmael the son of Nethaniah escaped from Johanan with eight men, and went to the Ammonites.
16 Hat toteh, Koreah capa Johanan hoi ama koe e ransahu pueng ni Nethaniah capa Ishmael ni Ahikam capa Gedaliah a thei hnukkhu, Mizpah hoi Nethaniah capa Ishmael koehoi Johanan ni a rungngang e taminaw pueng, tarantuk e naw hoi napui camonaw hoi tuenlanaw hoi Gibeon hoi kabannaw hai koung a ceikhai.
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 [that] he had slain Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, [even] mighty men of war, and the women, and the children, and the eunuchs, whom he had brought again from Gibeon:
17 Hahoi, a tâco awh teh Khaldean taminaw kecu dawk Izip ram lah yawng hanlah a kâcai awh teh, Bethlehem kho teng e Geruth Khimham vah kho a sak awh.
And they departed, and dwelt in the habitation of Chimham, which is by Beth-lehem, to go to enter into Egypt,
18 Bangkongtetpawiteh, Babilon siangpahrang ni hote ram uk hanlah a ta e Ahikam capa Gedaliah hah Nethaniah capa Ishmael ni a thei dawkvah Khaldean taminaw a taki awh.
Because of the Chaldeans: for they were afraid of them, because Ishmael the son of Nethaniah had slain Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, whom the king of Babylon made governor in the land.
