Jeremias 41
1 Men i den syvende måned kom Jisjmael, Elisjamas søn Netanjas søn, en mand af kongelig Æt, der hørte til Kongens Stormænd, fulgt af ti Mænd til Gedalja, Ahikams Søn, i Mizpa; og de holdt Måltid sammen der i Mizpa.
And it came to pass in the seventh month, that Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, the son of Elishama, of the blood royal, and one of the great officers of the king, and ten men with him, came to Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam, to Mizpah; and they ate bread there together in Mizpah.
2 Jisjmael, Netanjas Søn, og de ti Mænd, der fulgte ham, stod da op og huggede Gedalja, Sjafans Søn Ahikams Søn, ned med Sværdet og dræbte således den Mand, Babels Konge havde sat over Landet;
Then 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 slew him whom the king of Babylon had made governor over the land.
3 også alle de Judæere, som var hos ham i Mizpa, og alle de Kaldæere, som fandtes der, alle Krigerne huggede Jisjmael ned.
And all the Jews that were with him, with Gedaliah at Mizpah, and the Chaldaeans that were found there, the men of war, did Ishmael smite.
4 Dagen efter Gedaljas Mord, endnu før nogen kendte dertil,
And it came to pass, the second day after he had slain Gedaliah, and no man knew it,
5 kom firsindstyve Mænd fra Sikem, Silo og Samaria med afklippet Skæg, sønderrevne Klæder og Flænger i Huden; de havde Afgrødeoffer og Røgelse med til at ofre i HERRENs Hus"
that there came certain men from Shechem, from Shiloh, and from Samaria, fourscore persons, having their beards shaven, and their clothes rent, and having cut themselves, with an oblation and incense in their hands, to bring to the house of Jehovah.
6 Jisjmael, Netanjas Søn, gik dem i Møde fra Mizpa og græd hele Vejen, og da han traf dem, sagde han: "Kom med til Gedalja, Ahikams Søn!"
And Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, went forth from Mizpah to meet them, weeping all along as he went; and when he met them, he said to them, “Come ye to Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam.”
7 Men da de var kommet ind i Byen, huggede Jisjmael og hans Mænd dem ned og kastede dem i Cisternen.
And when they had come into the midst of the city, Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, slew them, and cast them into the pit, he and the men that were with him.
8 Men der var ti Mænd iblandt dem, som sagde til Jisjmael: "Dræb os ikke, thi vi har skjulte Forråd på Marken, Hvede, Byg, Olie og Honning." Så lod han dem være og dræbte dem ikke med de andre.
But ten men were found among them who said to Ishmael, “Slay us not, for we have hidden stores in the field, of wheat, and barley, and oil, and honey.” He forbore, therefore, and slew them not with their brethren.
9 Cisternen, hvori Jisjmael kastede Ligene af alle dem, han havde hugget ned, var den store Cisterne, Kong Asa havde bygget i Kampen mod Kong Basja af Israel; den fyldte Jisjmael, Netanjas Søn, med dræbte.
Now the pit into which Ishmael cast all the dead bodies of the men whom he slew, together with Gedaliah, is the same which King Asa made on account of Baasha, king of Israel; and Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, filled it with them that were slain.
10 Derpå bortførte Jisjmael som Fanger hele Resten af Folket i Mizpa, Kongedøtrene og hele Folket, der var ladt tilbage i Mizpa, og over hvem Livvagts øverste Nebuzaradan havde sat Gedalja, Ahikams Søn; dem bortførte Jisjmael, Netanjas Søn, som Fanger og gav sig på Vej til Ammoniterne.
And Ishmael took captive all the residue of the people that were in Mizpah, the king's daughters, and all the people that remained in Mizpah, whom Nebuzaradan, captain of the guard, had committed to the charge of Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam; even Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, took them captive, and set forth to go over [[the Jordan]] to the children of Ammon.
11 Men da Johanan, Kareas Søn, og alle de Hærførere, som var hos ham, hørte om al den Ulykke, Jisjmael, Netanjas Søn, havde gjort,
But when Johanan, the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces that were with him, heard of all the evil which Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, had done,
12 tog de alle deres Mænd og drog imod ham, og de traf ham ved den store Dam i Gibeon;
they took all the men, and went up to fight with Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, and came up with him at the great waters that are in Gibeon.
13 og da alt Folket, der var hos Jisjmael, så Johanan, Kareas Søn og alle Hærførerne, der var med ham, blev de glade;
And when all the people which were with Ishmael saw Johanan, the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces that were with him, they were glad;
14 og alt Folket, som Jisjmael havde ført fanget fra Mizpa, vendte om og gik over til Johanan, Kareas Søn.
and all the people that Ishmael had carried away captive from Mizpah faced about and returned, and went to Johanan, the son of Kareah.
15 Men Jisjmael Netanjas Søn, slap fra Johanan med otte Mand og drog til Ammoniterne.
But Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, escaped from Johanan with eight men, and went to the children of Ammon.
16 Johanan, Kareas Søn, og alle Hærførerne, der var med ham, tog derpå hele Resten af Folket, som Jisjmael, Netanjas Søn, efter at have myrdet Gedalja, Ahikams Søn, havde ført bort fra Mizpa, de Mænd, Krigere, Kvinder, Børn og Hofmænd, som han bragte tilbage fra Gibeon,
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 he had slain Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam, strong men, men of war, and women, and children, and eunuchs, whom he had brought back from Gibeon;
17 og de drog hen og slog sig ned i Gidrot-Kimham i BetlehemsNabolag for at drage til Ægypten.
and they went, and tarried in the inn of Chimham, which is near Bethlehem, in order to flee into Egypt
18 af Frygt for Kaldæerne; thi de frygtede dem, fordi Jisjmael, Netanjas Søn, havde dræbt Gedalja, Ahikams Søn, som Babels Konge havde sat over Landet.
from the Chaldaeans; for they were afraid of them, because Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, had slain Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam, whom the king of Babylon had made governor over the land.
