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 son of Nethaniah son of Elishama of the seed royal and chiefs of the king, and ten men with him, came in, unto Gedaliah son of Ahikam, at Mizpah, —and they did there eat bread 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 arose Ishmael son of Nethaniah—and the ten men who were with him and they smote Gedaliah son of Ahikam son of Shaphan—with the sword and slew him whom the king of Babylon had set in charge, 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 Ishmael smote, all the Jews who were with him even with Gedaliah in Mizpah, and the Chaldeans who were found there the men of war.
4 革達里雅被害後第二天，人尚一無所知。
And it came to pass, on the second day, after he had slain Gedaliah, not, a man, knowing 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 men came in from Shechem, from Shiloh, and from Samaria, —eighty men, with beards shaven and clothes rent who also had cut themselves, with a meal-offering and frankincense in their hand, to bring them into the house of Yahweh.
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! 」
Then went forth Ishmael son of Nethaniah to meet them out of Mizpah, weeping all along as he went, —and it came to pass when he fell in with them, that he said unto them, Come ye in unto Gedaliah 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 so it was when they had come into the midst of the city, that Ishmael son of Nethaniah slew them and cast them into the midst of a pit, he and the men who 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 unto Ishmael—Do not put us to death, for we have secret treasures in the field, wheat and barley and oil and honey, So he forbare and put them not to death in the midst of 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 whereinto Ishmael cast all the dead bodies of the men whom he had smitten, was a large pit which King Asa had made for fear of Baasha king of Israel, —the same, did Ishmael son of Nethaniah fill with the 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。
Then did Ishmael take captive all the remnant of the people that was in Mizpah, —the daughters of the king, and all the people that were left remaining in Mizpah, whom Nebuzaradan chief of the royal executioners had committed unto Gedaliah son of Ahikam, —yea Ishmael son of Nethaniah took them captive, and departed to pass over unto the sons 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 son of Kareah and all the captains of the forces who were with him heard of all the wickedness which Ishmael 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。
then took they all the men, and went their way to fight with Ishmael son of Nethaniah, —and found him near the many waters which were 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 it came to pass, when all the people who were with Ishmael saw Johanan son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces who were with him, then were they 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；
So all the people whom Ishmael had carried away captive out of Mizpah, compassed about, and returned and went their way unto Johanan 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 son of Nethaniah, escaped with eight men, from the face of Johanan, —and departed unto the sons 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 did Johanan son of Kareah and all the captains of the forces who were with him take all the remnant of the people whom he had recovered from Ishmael son of Nethaniah out of Mizpah, after he had smitten Gedaliah son of Ahikam, —mighty men, men of war, and women and children and eunuchs, whom he had recovered out of 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 departed, and dwelt in the khan of Chimham, which is near Bethlehem, —that they might go to enter 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。
because of the Chaldeans, for they were afraid of them, —because Ishmael son of Nethaniah had smitten Gedaliah son of Ahikam, whom the king of Babylon had set in charge over the land.
