< Jeremija 41 >
1 Ali u sedmom mjesecu dođe Jišmael, sin Elišamina sina Netanije, roda kraljevskoga, sa deset ljudi i potraži Gedaliju, sina Ahikamova, u Mispi. I dok su se ondje, u Mispi, zajedno gostili,
Now it came to pass in the seventh month, that Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, the son of Elishama, of the seed royal, and one of the chief officers of the king, and ten men with him, came unto Gedaliah the son of Ahikam to Mizpah; and there they did eat bread together in Mizpah.
2 diže se Jišmael, sin Netanijin, sa svojom desetoricom i mačem smakoše Gedaliju, sina Ahikamova. I tako ubi čovjeka koga kralj babilonski bijaše postavio nad zemljom.
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 A i sve Judejce koji bijahu s njim u Mispi, i Kaldejce, vojnike što se tu nađoše - Jišmael dade pogubiti.
Ishmael also slew all the Jews that were with him, even with Gedaliah, at Mizpah, and the Chaldeans that were found there, even the men of war.
4 Sutradan, pošto Gedalija bi ubijen, dok još nitko nije znao što se zbilo,
And it came to pass the second day after he had slain Gedaliah, and no man knew it,
5 dođoše ljudi iz Šekema, Šila i Samarije, njih osamdeset, obrijane brade, poderanih haljina i s urezima po tijelu, noseći u rukama prinose i tamjan da ih prinesu u Domu Jahvinu.
that there came certain men from Shechem, from Shiloh, and from Samaria, even fourscore men, having their beards shaven and their clothes rent, and having cut themselves, with meal-offerings and frankincense in their hand to bring them to the house of the LORD.
6 Jišmael, sin Netanijin, iziđe im iz Mispe u susret, dok su oni, plačući, išli svojim putem. Kad ih stiže, reče im: “Dođite Gedaliji, sinu Ahikamovu!”
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 A kad stigoše usred grada, Jišmael, sin Netanijin, i njegovi ljudi poklaše ih i baciše u čatrnju.
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 A među njima bijaše deset ljudi koji rekoše Jišmaelu: “Nemoj nas ubiti, jer imamo u poljima zakopanih zaliha pšenice, ječma, ulja i meda.” On tada odusta i ne ubi ih s braćom njihovom.
But ten men were found among them that said unto Ishmael: 'Slay us not; for we have stores hidden in the field, of wheat, and of barley, and of oil, and of honey.' So he forbore, and slew them not among their brethren.
9 A čatrnja u koju je Jišmael pobacao sva tjelesa pobijenih ljudi, velika čatrnja, bijaše ona ista koju je kralj Asa načinio protiv Baše, kralja izraelskoga. I sad ju je Jišmael, sin Netanijin, napunio pobijenim ljudima.
Now the pit wherein Ishmael cast all the dead bodies of the men whom he had slain by the side of Gedaliah was that which Asa the king had made for fear of Baasa king of Israel; the same Ishmael the son of Nethaniah filled with them that were slain.
10 Tada Jišmael odvede ostatak naroda iz Mispe, zajedno s kćerima kraljevim koje je Nebuzaradan, zapovjednik tjelesne straže, povjerio Gedaliji, sinu Ahikamovu: u cik zore krenu Jišmael, sin Netanijin, i zaputi se da prijeđe u zemlju Amonovih sinova.
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 Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard had committed to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam; Ishmael the son of Nethaniah carried them away captive, and departed to go over to the children of Ammon.
11 Ali kad Johanan, sin Kareahov, i svi vojni zapovjednici koji bijahu s njim saznadoše za sva zlodjela što ih Jišmael, sin Netanijin, bijaše počinio,
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 uzeše sve svoje vojnike te krenuše u boj na Jišmaela, sina Netanijina. Nađoše ga uz veliku vodu u Gibeonu.
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 Čim oni ljudi što bijahu kod Jišmaela ugledaše Johanana, sina Kareahova, i sve vojne zapovjednike koji bijahu s njime, obradovaše se,
Now it came to pass, that when all the people that 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 i sav narod što ga je Jišmael odveo iz Mispe okrenu se i potrča Johananu, sinu Kareahovu.
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 Ali Jišmael, sin Netanijin, sa osam ljudi, pobježe od Johanana i ode k sinovima Amonovim.
But Ishmael the son of Nethaniah escaped from Johanan with eight men, and went to the children of Ammon.
16 Tada Johanan, sin Kareahov, i svi vojni zapovjednici koji bijahu s njim uzeše sav preostali narod što ga Jišmael, sin Netanijin, pošto ubi Gedaliju, sina Ahikamova, bijaše doveo iz Mispe: muškarce, žene i djecu i dvorjane koje dovede iz Gibeona.
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, the men, even the men of war, and the women, and the children, and the officers, whom he had brought back from Gibeon;
17 Krenuše, a kod Svratišta Kimhama, koje je kraj Betlehema, oni se odmarahu da bi mogli nastaviti put i stići u Egipat,
and they departed, and dwelt in Geruth Chimham, which is by Beth-lehem, to go to enter into Egypt,
18 što dalje od Kaldejaca, kojih se bojahu: jer je Jišmael, sin Netanijin, ubio Gedaliju, sina Ahikamova, koga kralj babilonski bijaše postavio za namjesnika u zemlji.
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 over the land.
