Jeremias 41
1 Og det skete i den syvende Maaned, at Ismael, Nethanjas Søn, Elisamas Sønnesøn, der var af kongelig Byrd og en af Kongens Stormænd, og ti Mænd med ham kom til Gedalia, Ahikams Søn, til Mizpa; og de aade der Brød med hverandre i Mizpa.
And it happened that, in the seventh month, Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, the son of Elishama of royal descent, with the nobles of the king, and accompanied by ten men, went to Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam, at Mizpah. And they ate bread together there, in Mizpah.
2 Og Ismael, Nethanjas Søn, han og de ti Mænd, som vare med ham, stode op og sloge Gedalia, Ahikams Søn, Safans Sønnesøn, med Sværdet, og de dræbte ham, hvem Kongen af Babel havde sat over Landet.
Then Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, rose up, and the ten men who were with him, and they struck down Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, with the sword, and they killed him whom the king of Babylon had made governor over the land.
3 Og alle Jøderne, som vare hos ham, nemlig hos Gedalia i Mizpa, og Kaldæerne, som fandtes der, nemlig Krigsmændene, dem slog Ismael ihjel.
Likewise, Ishmael struck down all the Jews who were with Gedaliah at Mizpah, with the Chaldeans who were found there, and the men of war.
4 Og det skete den anden Dag, efter at han havde dræbt Gedalia, og ingen vidste det,
Then, on the second day after he had killed Gedaliah, while no one yet knew of it,
5 at der kom Mænd fra Sikem, fra Silo og fra Samaria, firsindstyve Mænd med afraget Skæg og sønderrevne Klæder og med Saar, de havde tilføjet sig; og de havde Madoffer og Virak i deres Haand for at bringe det til Herrens Hus.
men arrived from Shechem, and from Shiloh, and from Samaria, eighty men, with their beards shaved, and their garments rent, and unbathed. And they had gifts and frankincense in hand, so that they might make an offering in the house of the Lord.
6 Og Ismael, Nethanjas Søn, gik ud dem i Møde fra Mizpa, idet han græd, som han vedblev at gaa frem; og der han mødte dem, da sagde han til dem i Kommer til Gedalia, Ahikams Søn.
Therefore, Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, departing from Mizpah to meet them, went forth weeping as he was walking. And when he had met them, he said to them, “Come to Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam.”
7 Og det skete, der de kom midt i Staden, da myrdede Ismael, Nethanjas Søn, dem, og kastede dem i Kulen, han og de Mænd, som vare med ham.
And when they had arrived at the center of the city, Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, put them to death around the public cistern, he and the men who were with him.
8 Men der fandtes ti Mænd iblandt dem, som sagde til Ismael: Dræb os ikke, thi vi have Skatte skjulte i Ageren, Hvede og Byg og Olie og Honning; saa lod han dem være og dræbte dem ikke midt iblandt deres Brødre.
But ten men were found among them, who said to Ishmael: “Do not kill us! For in the field we have storehouses of grain and barley and oil and honey.” And so he ceased, and he did not put them to death with their brothers.
9 Og den Kule, hvori Ismael kastede alle de døde Kroppe af de Mænd, som han havde ihjelslaaet tillige med Gedalia, var den, som Kong Asa havde ladet gøre imod Baesa, Israels Konge; den fyldte Ismael, Nethanjas Søn, med de ihjelslagne.
Now the cistern, into which Ishmael cast all the dead bodies of the men whom he had struck down because of Gedaliah, is the same one that king Asa made out of fear of Baasha, the king of Israel. This same cistern Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, filled with those who were slain.
10 Og Ismael bortførte som Fanger alle de overblevne af Folket, som vare i Mizpa, Kongens Døtre og alt Folket, som var blevet tilbage i Mizpa, hvilke Nebusar-Adan, den øverste for Drabanterne, havde betroet Gedalia, Ahikams Søn; dem bortførte Ismael, Nethanjas Søn, som Fanger og gik sin Vej for at drage over til Ammons Børn.
Then Ishmael led away captive all the remnant of the people who were at Mizpah, the king’s daughters as well as all the people who remained at Mizpah, whom Nebuzaradan, the leader of the military, had committed to Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam. And Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, seized them and went away, so that he might go over to the sons of Ammon.
11 Der Johanan, Kareaks Søn, og alle de Høvedsmænd for Hæren, som vare med ham, hørte alt det onde, som Ismael, Nethanjas Søn, havde gjort,
But Johanan, the son of Kareah, and all the leaders of the fighters who were with him, heard about all the evil that Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, had done.
12 da toge de alle Mændene til sig og droge hen for at stride imod Ismael, Nethanjas Søn; og de fandt ham ved det store Vand, som er i Gibeon.
And taking all the men, they set out to make war against Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah. And they found him at the great waters that are in Gibeon.
13 Og det skete, der alt Folket, som var hos Ismael, saa Johanan, Kareaks Søn, og alle de Høvedsmænd for Hæren, som vare hos ham, da bleve de glade.
And when all the people who were with Ishmael had seen Johanan, the son of Kareah, and all the leaders of the fighters who were with him, they rejoiced.
14 Og alt Folket, som Ismael havde ført fangen bort fra Mizpa, vendte sig om, og de droge tilbage og gik hen til Johanan, Kareaks Søn.
And all the people whom Ishmael had seized turned back to Mizpah. And they returned and went over to Johanan, the son of Kareah.
15 Og Ismael, Nethanjas Søn, med otte Mænd undkom fra Johanan og drog til Ammons Børn.
But Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, fled with eight men from the face of Johanan, and they went over to the sons of Ammon.
16 Da tog Johanan, Kareaks Søn, og alle de Høvedsmænd for Hæren, som vare hos ham, alle de overblevne af Folket bort fra Mizpa, dem, som han havde ført tilbage fra Ismael, Nethanjas Søn, efter at denne havde ihjelslaget Gedalia, Ahikams Søn: Vældige, Krigsmænd og Kvinder og smaa Børn og Hofmænd, som han havde ført tilbage fra Gibeon.
Therefore, Johanan, the son of Kareah, and all the leaders of the fighters who were with him, took from Mizpah the entire remnant of the common people, whom they had led away from Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, after he had struck down Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam. These were strong men of battle, and women, and children, and eunuchs: those whom he had led away from Gibeon.
17 Og de droge af Sted og bleve i Kimhams Herberge, som var ved Bethlehem, for at drage videre og komme til Ægypten,
And they went away and settled as sojourners at Chimham, which is near Bethlehem, so that they might continue on and enter into Egypt,
18 for Kaldæernes Skyld; thi de frygtede for dem, fordi Ismael, Nethanjas Søn, havde slaget Gedalia, Ahikams Søn, ihjel, hvem Kongen af Babel havde beskikket over Landet.
away from the face of the Chaldeans. For they were afraid of them, because Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, had struck down Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam, whom the king of Babylon had made governor in the land of Judah.
