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 son of Nethaniah son of Elishama of the seed royal and chiefs of the king, and ten men with him, came in, unto Gedaliah son of Ahikam, at Mizpah, —and they did there eat 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.
Then arose Ishmael son of Nethaniah—and the ten men who were with him and they smote Gedaliah son of Ahikam son of Shaphan—with the sword and slew him whom the king of Babylon had set in charge, 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 who were with him even with Gedaliah in Mizpah, and the Chaldeans who 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, on the second day, after he had slain Gedaliah, not, a man, knowing 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 men came in from Shechem, from Shiloh, and from Samaria, —eighty men, with beards shaven and clothes rent who also had cut themselves, with a meal-offering and frankincense in their hand, to bring them into the house of Yahweh.
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.
Then went forth Ishmael son of Nethaniah to meet them out of Mizpah, weeping all along as he went, —and it came to pass when he fell in with them, that he said unto them, Come ye in unto Gedaliah 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 so it was when they had come into the midst of the city, that Ishmael son of Nethaniah slew them and cast them into the midst of a pit, 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 unto Ishmael—Do not put us to death, for we have secret treasures in the field, wheat and barley and oil and honey, So he forbare and put them not to death in the midst of 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.
Now the pit whereinto Ishmael cast all the dead bodies of the men whom he had smitten, was a large pit which King Asa had made for fear of Baasha king of Israel, —the same, did Ishmael son of Nethaniah fill 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.
Then did Ishmael take captive all the remnant of the people that was in Mizpah, —the daughters of the king, and all the people that were left remaining in Mizpah, whom Nebuzaradan chief of the royal executioners had committed unto Gedaliah son of Ahikam, —yea Ishmael son of Nethaniah took them captive, and departed to pass over unto 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 when Johanan son of Kareah and all the captains of the forces who were with him heard of all the wickedness which Ishmael 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.
then took they all the men, and went their way to fight with Ishmael son of Nethaniah, —and found him near the many waters which were 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 it came to pass, when all the people who were with Ishmael saw Johanan son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces who were with him, then were they 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.
So all the people whom Ishmael had carried away captive out of Mizpah, compassed about, and returned and went their way unto Johanan son of Kareah.
15 Og Ismael, Nethanjas Søn, med otte Mænd undkom fra Johanan og drog til Ammons Børn.
But, Ishmael son of Nethaniah, escaped with eight men, from the face of Johanan, —and departed unto 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.
Then did Johanan son of Kareah and all the captains of the forces who were with him take all the remnant of the people whom he had recovered from Ishmael son of Nethaniah out of Mizpah, after he had smitten Gedaliah son of Ahikam, —mighty men, men of war, and women and children and eunuchs, whom he had recovered out of 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 in the khan of Chimham, which is near Bethlehem, —that they might go to enter 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 were afraid of them, —because Ishmael son of Nethaniah had smitten Gedaliah son of Ahikam, whom the king of Babylon had set in charge over the land.
