Jeremia 41

1 E dwe mar abiriyo Ishmael wuod Nethania, ma wuod Elishama, mane aa e anywola mar joka ruoth kendo ma bende ne achiel kuom jotend ruoth, nobiro Mizpa gi ji apar ir Gedalia wuod Ahikam. E kinde mane gichiemo kanyakla kanyo,

In the seventh month, Ishmael son of Nethaniah, the son of Elishama, who was a member of the royal family and one of the king’s chief officers, came with ten men to Gedaliah son of Ahikam at Mizpah, and they ate a meal together there.

2 Ishmael wuod Nethania kod ji apar mane ni kode nochungʼ malo kendo onego Gedalia wuod Ahikam, ma wuod Shafan, gi ligangla, ma ginego ngʼatno ma ruodh Babulon noyiero kaka jatelo e pinyno.

Then Ishmael son of Nethaniah and the ten men who were with him got up and struck down Gedaliah son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, with the sword, killing the one whom the king of Babylon had appointed to govern the land.

3 Ishmael nonego bende jo-Yahudi duto mane nigi Gedalia Mizpa, kaachiel gi jolwenj Babulon mane ni kanyo.

Ishmael also killed all the Jews who were with Gedaliah at Mizpah, as well as the Chaldean soldiers who were there.

4 Kinyne ka Gedalia nosenegi, ka pod ngʼato angʼata ne ok ongʼeyo wachni,

On the second day after the murder of Gedaliah, when no one yet knew about it,

5 chwo piero aboro mane olielo tikgi mapoth, manoyiecho lepgi kendo mongʼado dendgi nobiro koa Shekem, Shilo kod Samaria, ka gikelo chiwo mar cham gi ubani e od Jehova Nyasaye.

eighty men who had shaved off their beards, torn their garments, and cut themselves came from Shechem, Shiloh, and Samaria, carrying grain offerings and frankincense for the house of the LORD.

6 Ishmael wuod Nethania noa Mizpa mondo orom kodgi, ka oywak e sache mane odhi. Kane oromo kodgi, nowachonegi niya, “Biuru ir Gedalia wuod Ahikam.”

And Ishmael son of Nethaniah went out from Mizpah to meet them, weeping as he went. When Ishmael encountered the men, he said, “Come to Gedaliah son of Ahikam.”

7 Kane gidhi e dala maduongʼ, Ishmael wuod Nethania kod chwo mane ni kode nonegogi mi owitogi ei bur.

And when they came into the city, Ishmael son of Nethaniah and the men with him slaughtered them and threw them into a cistern.

8 To ji apar kuomgi nowachone Ishmael niya, “Kik inegwa! Wan gi ngano kod shairi gi mo, kod mor kich, mwapando e puothe.” Omiyo noweyogi kendo ne ok onegogi gi joma moko.

But ten of the men among them said to Ishmael, “Do not kill us, for we have hidden treasure in the field—wheat, barley, oil, and honey!” So he refrained from killing them with the others.

9 Koro buche mane owitoe ringre chwo duto mane osenego kaachiel gi Gedalia ne en mano mane Ruoth Asa oloso kaka kar pondone kane okedo gi Baasha ruodh Israel. Ishmael wuod Nethania nopongʼe gi ringre joma otho.

Now the cistern into which Ishmael had thrown all the bodies of the men he had struck down along with Gedaliah was a large one that King Asa had made for fear of Baasha king of Israel. Ishmael son of Nethaniah filled it with the slain.

10 Ishmael nomako jogo mane odongʼ duto ei Mizpa mane gin nyi ruoth kaachiel gi jogo duto mane odongʼ kanyo, jogo mane Nebuzaradan jatend lweny mar piny noketo Gedalia wuod Ahikam mondo oriti. Ishmael wuod Nethania nomakogi kendo negichako ka gingʼado gidhi loka Amon.

Then Ishmael took captive all the remnant of the people of Mizpah—the daughters of the king along with all the others who remained in Mizpah—over whom Nebuzaradan captain of the guard had appointed Gedaliah son of Ahikam. Ishmael son of Nethaniah took them captive and set off to cross over to the Ammonites.

11 Ka Johanan wuod Karea kod jotend lweny duto mane ni kode nowinjo timbe njore duto mane Ishmael wuod Nethania nosetimo,

When Johanan son of Kareah and all the commanders of the armies with him heard of all the crimes that Ishmael son of Nethaniah had committed,

12 negikawo jolweny mag-gi duto mi gidhi mondo giked gi Ishmael wuod Nethania. Ne gijuke but pi maduongʼ man Gibeon.

they took all their men and went to fight Ishmael son of Nethaniah. And they found him near the great pool in Gibeon.

13 Ka jogo mane nigi Ishmael omako noneno Johanan wuod Karea kod jotend lweny mane ni kode, negimor.

When all the people with Ishmael saw Johanan son of Kareah and all the commanders of the army with him, they rejoiced,

14 Jogo duto mane Ishmael omako Mizpa nolokore modhi ir Johanan wuod Karea.

and all the people whom Ishmael had taken captive at Mizpah turned and went over to Johanan son of Kareah.

15 To Ishmael wuod Nethania kod joge aboro notony oa ir Johanan mi giringo gidhi ir jo-Amon.

But Ishmael son of Nethaniah and eight of his men escaped from Johanan and went to the Ammonites.

16 Eka Johanan wuod Karea kod jotend lweny duto mane ni kode nokawo joma notony duto mane oa Mizpa, ma noreso e lwet Ishmael wuod Nethania bangʼ kane osenego Gedalia wuod Ahikam; mane gin jolweny, mon, nyithindo kod jodongo mane obirogo koa Gibeon.

Then Johanan son of Kareah and all the commanders of the armies with him took the whole remnant of the people from Mizpah whom he had recovered from Ishmael son of Nethaniah after Ishmael had killed Gedaliah son of Ahikam: the soldiers, women, children, and court officials he had brought back from Gibeon.

17 Kendo negidhi nyime, ma gichungʼ Geruth Kimham but Bethlehem ka gidhi Misri,

And they went and stayed in Geruth Chimham, near Bethlehem, in order to proceed into Egypt

18 mondo gipondne jo-Babulon. Ne giluorogi nikech Ishmael wuod Nethania nosenego Gedalia wuod Ahikam, mane ruodh Babulon oyiero kaka jatelo e pinyno.

to escape the Chaldeans. For they were afraid of the Chaldeans because Ishmael son of Nethaniah had struck down Gedaliah son of Ahikam, whom the king of Babylon had appointed over the land.
