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 came to pass in the seventh month, that Ishmael the son of Nethaniah the son of Elishama, of the royal seed, and [one] of the king's chief men, and ten men with him, came to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam unto Mizpah, and there they ate bread together, 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.
And Ishmael the son of Nethaniah arose, and the ten men that were with him, and smote Gedaliah the son of Ahikam the son of Shaphan with the sword, and killed him, whom the king of Babylon had appointed 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.
And Ishmael smote all the Jews that were with him, with Gedaliah, at Mizpah, and the Chaldeans that were found there, the men of war.
4 Og det skete den anden Dag, efter at han havde dræbt Gedalia, og ingen vidste det,
And it came to pass the second day after he had killed Gedaliah, and no man knew 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.
that there came men from Shechem, from Shiloh, and from Samaria, eighty men, having their beards shaven and their clothes rent, and having cut themselves; with oblations and incense in their hand, to bring them to the house of Jehovah.
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.
And Ishmael the son of Nethaniah went forth from Mizpah to meet them, weeping all along as he went; and it came to pass when he met them, he said unto 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 it was so, when they came into the midst of the city, that Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, he and the men that were with him, slew them, [and cast them] into the midst of the pit.
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 that said unto Ishmael, Do not kill us, for we have hidden stores in the field, of wheat, and of barley, and of oil, and of honey. So he forbore, and did not kill them among their brethren.
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.
And the pit into which Ishmael had cast all the dead bodies of the men whom he had slain by the side of Gedaliah was the one which Asa the king had made for fear of Baasha king of Israel: Ishmael the son of Nethaniah filled it with the 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.
And Ishmael carried away captive all the remnant of the people that were in Mizpah, the king's daughters, and all the people that remained in Mizpah, whom Nebuzar-adan the captain of the body-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 Der Johanan, Kareaks Søn, og alle de Høvedsmænd for Hæren, som vare med ham, hørte alt det onde, som Ismael, Nethanjas Søn, havde gjort,
And 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 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 they took all the men, and went to fight with Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, and found him by the great waters that are at 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 it came to pass 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 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 that Ishmael had carried away captive from Mizpah turned about and came back, and went 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 escaped from Johanan with eight men, and went to the children 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.
Then Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces that 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 slain Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, the mighty men of war, and the women, and the children, and the eunuchs, whom he had brought again 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 departed, and dwelt at Geruth-Chimham, which is by Bethlehem, to go to 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.
because of the Chaldeans; for they feared them, because Ishmael the son of Nethaniah had smitten Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, whom the king of Babylon had appointed over the land.
