< 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 in the seventh month, Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, the son of Elishama, of the royal offspring and one of the chief officers of the king, and ten men with him, came to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam to Mizpah; and there they ate 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 Ishmael the son of Nethaniah arose, and the ten men who were with him, and struck Gedaliah the son of Ahikam the son of Shaphan with the sword and killed 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 killed all the Jews who were with Gedaliah at Mizpah, and the Chaldean men of war who were found there.
4 Sutradan, pošto Gedalija bi ubijen, dok još nitko nije znao što se zbilo,
The second day after he had killed 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.
men came from Shechem, from Shiloh, and from Samaria, even eighty men, having their beards shaved and their clothes torn, and having cut themselves, with meal offerings and frankincense in their hand, to bring them to the LORD’s house.
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!”
Ishmael the son of Nethaniah went out from Mizpah to meet them, weeping all along as he went, and as he met them, he said to 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.
It was so, when they came into the middle of the city, that Ishmael the son of Nethaniah killed them, and cast them into the middle of the pit, he, and the men who 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 those who said to Ishmael, “Don’t kill us; for we have stores hidden in the field, of wheat, and of barley, and of oil, and of honey.” So he stopped, and didn’t kill them among their brothers.
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 in which Ishmael cast all the dead bodies of the men whom he had killed, by the side of Gedaliah (this was that which Asa the king had made for fear of Baasha king of Israel), Ishmael the son of Nethaniah filled it with those who were killed.
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 of the people who were left in Mizpah, even the king’s daughters, and all the people who 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 who 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 when all the people who were with Ishmael saw Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces who 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 who Ishmael had carried away captive from Mizpah turned about and came back, and went to 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 Johanan the son of Kareah and all the captains of the forces who were with him took all the remnant of the people whom he had recovered from Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, from Mizpah, after he had killed Gedaliah the son of Ahikam—the men of war, with the women, the children, and the eunuchs, 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,
They departed and lived in Geruth Chimham, which is by Bethlehem, 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 killed Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, whom the king of Babylon made governor over the land.
