< 耶利米书 41 >
1 七月间,王的大臣宗室以利沙玛的孙子、尼探雅的儿子以实玛利带着十个人,来到米斯巴见亚希甘的儿子基大利。他们在米斯巴一同吃饭。
And it was don in the seuenthe monethe, Ismael, the sone of Nathanye, sone of Elisama, of the kingis seed, and the principal men of the kyng, and ten men with hym, camen to Godolie, the sone of Aicham, in Masphath; and thei eeten there looues togidere in Masphath.
2 尼探雅的儿子以实玛利和同他来的那十个人起来,用刀杀了沙番的孙子亚希甘的儿子基大利,就是巴比伦王所立为全地省长的。
Forsothe Ismael, the sone of Nathanye, and the ten men that weren with hym, risiden vp, and killiden bi swerd Godolie, the sone of Aicham, sone of Saphan; and thei killiden hym, whom the kyng of Babiloyne hadde maad souereyn of the lond.
3 以实玛利又杀了在米斯巴、基大利那里的一切犹大人和所遇见的迦勒底兵丁。
Also Ismael killide alle the Jewis, that weren with Godolie in Masphath, and the Caldeis, that weren foundun there, and the men werriours.

5 第二天,有八十人从示剑和示罗,并撒马利亚来,胡须剃去,衣服撕裂,身体划破,手拿素祭和乳香,要奉到耶和华的殿。
foure scoor men with schauen beerdis, and to-rent clothis, and pale men, camen fro Sichem, and fro Silo, and fro Samarie; and thei hadden yiftis and encense in the hond, for to offre in the hous of the Lord.
6 尼探雅的儿子以实玛利出米斯巴迎接他们,随走随哭;遇见了他们,就对他们说:“你们可以来见亚希甘的儿子基大利。”
Therfor Ismael, the sone of Nathanye, yede out of Masphath in to the metyng of hem; and he yede goynge and wepynge. Sotheli whanne he hadde met hem, he seide to hem, Come ye to Godolie, the sone of Aicham;
7 他们到了城中,尼探雅的儿子以实玛利和同着他的人就将他们杀了,抛在坑中。
and whanne thei weren comun to the myddis of the citee, Ismael, the sone of Nathanye, killide hem aboute the myddis of the lake, he and the men that weren with hym `killiden hem.
8 只是他们中间有十个人对以实玛利说:“不要杀我们,因为我们有许多大麦、小麦、油、蜜藏在田间。”于是他住了手,没有将他们杀在弟兄中间。
But ten men weren foundun among hem, that seiden to Ismael, Nyle thou sle vs, for we han tresour of wheete, and of barli, and of oile, and of hony, in the feeld. And he ceesside, and killide not hem with her britheren.
9 以实玛利将所杀之人的尸首都抛在坑里基大利的旁边;这坑是从前亚撒王因怕以色列王巴沙所挖的。尼探雅的儿子以实玛利将那些被杀的人填满了坑。
Forsothe the lake in to which Ismael castide forth alle the careyns of men, whiche he killide for Godolie, is thilke lake, which kyng Asa made for Baasa, the kyng of Israel; Ismael, the sone of Nathanye, fillide that lake with slayn men.
10 以实玛利将米斯巴剩下的人,就是众公主和仍住在米斯巴所有的百姓,原是护卫长尼布撒拉旦交给亚希甘的儿子基大利的,都掳去了。尼探雅的儿子以实玛利掳了他们,要往亚扪人那里去。
And Ismael ledde prisoneris alle the remenauntis of the puple, that weren in Mesphath, the douytris of the kyng, and al the puple that dwelliden in Masphath, whiche Nabusardan, the prince of chyualrie, hadde bitakun to kepyng to Godolie, the sone of Aicham. And Ismael, the sone of Nathanye, took hem, and yede to passe ouer to the sones of Amon.

Forsothe Johannan, the sone of Caree, and alle the princes of werriouris, that weren with hym, herden al the yuel, which Ismael, the sone of Nathanye, hadde do.
12 就带领众人前往,要和尼探雅的儿子以实玛利争战,在基遍的大水旁遇见他。
And whanne thei hadden take alle men, thei yeden forth to fiyte ayens Ismael, the sone of Nathanye; and thei foundun hym at the many watris, that ben in Gabaon.

And whanne al the puple, that was with Ismael, hadden seyn Johannan, the sone of Caree, and alle the princes of werriouris, that weren with hym, thei weren glad.
14 这样,以实玛利从米斯巴所掳去的众人都转身归加利亚的儿子约哈难去了。
And al the puple, whom Ismael hadde take in Masphath, turnede ayen; and it turnede ayen, and yede to Johannan, the sone of Caree.
15 尼探雅的儿子以实玛利和八个人脱离约哈难的手,逃往亚扪人那里去了。
