Jeremiah 41
1 Now in the seventh month, Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, the son of Elishama, of the royal offspring and one of the chief officers of the king, and ten men with him, came to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam to Mizpah; and there they ate bread together in Mizpah.
Men i sjunde månadenom kom Ismael, Nethanja son, Elisama sons, af Konungsligo slägt, samt med Konungens öfverstar, och tio män med honom, till Gedalia, Ahikams son, i Mizpa, och der åto de tillhopa med hvarannan i Mizpa.
2 Then Ishmael the son of Nethaniah arose, and the ten men who were with him, and struck Gedaliah the son of Ahikam the son of Shaphan with the sword and killed him, whom the king of Babylon had made governor over the land.
Och Ismael, Nethanja son, stod upp, och de tio män som med honom voro, och slogo Gedalia, Ahikams son, Saphans sons, ihjäl med svärd, derföre att Konungen i Babel honom öfver hela landet satt hade.
3 Ishmael also killed all the Jews who were with Gedaliah at Mizpah, and the Chaldean men of war who were found there.
Dertill slog Ismael alla de Judar, som när Gedalia voro i Mizpa, och de Chaldeer som der funnos, och alla krigsmännerna.
4 The second day after he had killed Gedaliah, and no man knew it,
Den andra dagen derefter, sedan Gedalia son var, och det ännu ingen visste,
5 men came from Shechem, from Shiloh, and from Samaria, even eighty men, having their beards shaved and their clothes torn, and having cut themselves, with meal offerings and frankincense in their hand, to bring them to the LORD’s house.
Kommo åttatio män af Sichem, af Silo, och Samarien, och hade rakat af skägget, och sönderrifvit sin kläder, och sargat sig, och båro spisoffer och rökelse med sig, att de det skulle offra uti Herrans hus.
6 Ishmael the son of Nethaniah went out from Mizpah to meet them, weeping all along as he went, and as he met them, he said to them, “Come to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam.”
Och Ismael, Nethanja son, gick ut ifrå Mizpa emot dem; gick och gret. Som han nu kom till dem, sade han till dem: I skolen komma till Gedalia, Ahikams son.
7 It was so, when they came into the middle of the city, that Ishmael the son of Nethaniah killed them, and cast them into the middle of the pit, he, and the men who were with him.
Men då de kommo midt in uti staden, drap dem Ismael, Nethanja son, och de män, som med honom voro, vid brunnen.
8 But ten men were found among those who said to Ishmael, “Do not kill us; for we have stores hidden in the field, of wheat, and of barley, and of oil, and of honey.” So he stopped, and did not kill them among their brothers.
Men der voro tio män ibland, de sade till Ismael: Käre, slå oss icke ihjäl; vi hafve ägodelar i åkrenom, af hvete, bjugg, oljo och hannog. Alltså höll han upp, och drap dem icke med de andra.
9 Now the pit in which Ishmael cast all the dead bodies of the men whom he had killed, by the side of Gedaliah (this was that which Asa the king had made for fear of Baasha king of Israel), Ishmael the son of Nethaniah filled it with those who were killed.
Men brunnen, der Ismael de dödas kroppar uti kastade, som han slagit hade, samt med Gedalia, är den som Konung Asa göra lät emot Baesa, Israels Konung; honom uppfyllde nu Ismael, Nethanja son, med de slagna.
10 Then Ishmael carried away captive all of the people who were left in Mizpah, even the king’s daughters, and all the people who remained in Mizpah, whom Nebuzaradan the captain of the 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.
Och det folk, som qvart var i Mizpa, och Konungens döttrar, förde Ismael, Nethanja son, bort för fångar, samt med allt det folk som igenlåtet var i Mizpa, öfver hvilka NebuzarAdan, höfvitsmannen, Gedalia, Ahikams son, satt hade, och drog bort, och ville öfver in till Ammons barn.
11 But when Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces who were with him, heard of all the evil that Ishmael the son of Nethaniah had done,
Men då Johanan, Kareahs son, med alla de höfvitsmän som med honom voro, fingo veta allt det onda, som Ismael, Nethanja son, bedrifvit hade,
12 then they took all the men, and went to fight with Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, and found him by the great waters that are in Gibeon.
Togo de allt folket till sig, och drogo bort emot Ismael, Nethanja son, till strids, och kommo till honom vid det stora vattnet i Gibeon.
13 Now when all the people who were with Ishmael saw Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces who were with him, then they were glad.
Då nu allt folket, som var med Ismael, sågo Johanan, Kareahs son, och alla de höfvitsmän som när honom voro, vordo de glade.
14 So all the people who Ishmael had carried away captive from Mizpah turned about and came back, and went to Johanan the son of Kareah.
Och allt det folk, som Ismael hade bortfört ifrå Mizpa, vände tillbaka, och föllo intill Johanan, Kareahs son.
15 But Ishmael the son of Nethaniah escaped from Johanan with eight men, and went to the children of Ammon.
Men Ismael, Nethanja son, undkom Johanan med åtta män, och drog in till Ammons barn.
16 Then Johanan the son of Kareah and all the captains of the forces who 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 killed Gedaliah the son of Ahikam—the men of war, with the women, the children, and the eunuchs, whom he had brought back from Gibeon.
Och Johanan, Kareahs son, samt med alla höfvitsmännerna som med honom voro, toga allt det qvarblefna folket (som de igentagit hade ifrån Ismael, Nethanja son) af Mizpa till sig, efter det Gedalia, Ahikams son, slagen var, nämliga krigsmän, qvinnor och barn, och kamererare, som de af Gibeon igenhemtat hade;
17 They departed and lived in Geruth Chimham, which is by Bethlehem, to go to enter into Egypt
Och droga bortåt, och kommo till herberge till Chimham vid BethLehem, och ville draga in uti Egypten,
18 because of the Chaldeans; for they were afraid of them, because Ishmael the son of Nethaniah had killed Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, whom the king of Babylon made governor over the land.
För de Chaldeer; förty de fruktade sig för dem, efter Ismael, Nethanja son, hade dräpit Gedalia, Ahikams son, den Konungen i Babel öfver landet satt hade.
