耶利米書 41
1 到了七月，厄里沙瑪的孫子，乃塔尼雅的兒子依市瑪耳──他是王家的後代，是君王的大臣──帶了十個人來到米茲帕阿希甘的兒子革達里雅那裏；當他們在米茲帕一同進餐時，
And it came to pass in the seventh month, that Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, the son of Elishama, of the blood royal, and one of the great officers of the king, and ten men with him, came to Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam, to Mizpah; and they ate bread there together in Mizpah.
2 乃塔尼雅的兒子依市瑪耳和他帶來的十個人就起來，拔刀擊殺了巴比倫王委派管理地方的沙番的孫子，阿希甘的兒子革達里雅。
Then Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, arose, 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 凡在米茲帕與達里雅在一起的猶太人，和在那裏偶然相遇的加色丁兵士，依市瑪耳也都擊殺了。
And all the Jews that were with him, with Gedaliah at Mizpah, and the Chaldaeans that were found there, the men of war, did Ishmael smite.
4 革達里雅被害後第二天，人尚一無所知。
And it came to pass, the second day after he had slain Gedaliah, and no man knew it,
5 有八十個人從舍根、史羅、撒瑪黎雅前來，都剃去了鬍鬚，撕破了衣服，割傷了身體，手裏拿著素祭祭品和乳香，要帶到上主殿宇去，
that there came certain men from Shechem, from Shiloh, and from Samaria, fourscore persons, having their beards shaven, and their clothes rent, and having cut themselves, with an oblation and incense in their hands, to bring to the house of Jehovah.
6 沿途且走且哭。乃塔尼雅的兒子依市瑪耳從米茲帕出來迎接他們，一遇見他們就對他們說：「你們往阿希甘的兒子革達里雅那裏去罷! 」
And Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, went forth from Mizpah to meet them, weeping all along as he went; and when he met them, he said to them, “Come ye to Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam.”
7 他們到了城市中心，乃塔尼雅的兒子依市瑪耳和自己的部下就將他們殺了，扔在蓄水池裏。
And when they had come into the midst of the city, Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, slew them, and cast them into the pit, he and the men that were with him.
8 其中有十個人卻對依市瑪耳說：「不要殺害我們，因為我們在田野裏藏有油、蜜、大麥和小麥。」他遂即住手，沒有將他們與他們的弟兄一同殺掉。
But ten men were found among them who said to Ishmael, “Slay us not, for we have hidden stores in the field, of wheat, and barley, and oil, and honey.” He forbore, therefore, and slew them not with their brethren.
9 依市瑪耳將所殺之人的屍首，丟在那裏的一個蓄水池內，那是一個很大的蓄水池，原是阿撒君王為對抗以色列君王巴厄沙而建造的；乃塔尼雅的兒子依市瑪耳用自己所殺之人的屍首填滿了這蓄水池。
Now the pit into which Ishmael cast all the dead bodies of the men whom he slew, together with Gedaliah, is the same which King Asa made on account of Baasha, king of Israel; and Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, filled it with them that were slain.
10 以後依市瑪耳擄去了留在米茲帕的遺民和王室閨秀，以及還留在米茲帕所有的人民：這些人，原是衛隊長乃步匝辣當委託給阿希甘的兒子革達里雅的；乃塔尼雅的兒子依市瑪耳卻將他們擄走，投往阿孟子民那裏去。
And Ishmael took captive all the residue of the people that were in Mizpah, the king's daughters, and all the people that remained in Mizpah, whom Nebuzaradan, captain of the guard, had committed to the charge of Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam; even Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, took them captive, and set forth to go over [[the Jordan]] to the children of Ammon.
11 卡勒亞的兒子約哈南和隨從他的其餘部隊首領，得知乃塔尼雅的兒子依市瑪耳所做的一切惡事，
But when Johanan, the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces that were with him, heard of all the evil which Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, had done,
12 就帶領自己所左的部下，去攻擊乃塔尼雅的兒子依市瑪耳，在基貝紅大水池旁與他相遇。
they took all the men, and went up to fight with Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, and came up with him at the great waters that are in Gibeon.
13 與依市耳瑪在一起的全體人民，一見卡勒亞的兒子約哈南和隨他前來的眾部隊首領，無不喜出望外。
And 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, they were glad;
14 依市瑪耳從米茲帕擄來的全體人民，都轉身歸順卡勒亞的兒子約哈南；
and all the people that Ishmael had carried away captive from Mizpah faced about and returned, and went to Johanan, the son of Kareah.
15 只有乃塔尼雅的兒子依市瑪耳和八個人，由約哈南面前逃脫，跑到阿孟子民那裏去了。
But Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, escaped from Johanan with eight men, and went to the children of Ammon.
16 卡勒亞的兒子約哈南與隨從自己的眾部隊首領，就接收了乃塔尼雅的兒子依市瑪耳，在謀害阿希甘的兒子革達里雅後，從米茲帕擄走的全部遺民，能作戰的男子和婦女，幼童及宦官，從基貝紅將他們帶回來，
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 he had slain Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam, strong men, men of war, and women, and children, and eunuchs, whom he had brought back from Gibeon;
17 一路前行，在靠近白冷的革魯特基默罕住下，有意進入埃及，
and they went, and tarried in the inn of Chimham, which is near Bethlehem, in order to flee into Egypt
18 遠避加色丁人。他們實在害怕見到加色丁人，因為乃塔尼雅的兒子依市瑪耳，謀殺了巴比倫王委派管理地方的阿希甘的兒子革達里雅。
from the Chaldaeans; for they were afraid of them, because Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, had slain Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam, whom the king of Babylon had made governor over the land.
