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.

Naʻe hoko ʻo pehē ʻi hono fitu māhina, naʻe haʻu ʻa ʻIsimeʻeli ko e foha ʻo Natania ko e foha ʻo ʻIlisama, ko e hako ʻoe hau, pea mo e houʻeiki ʻoe tuʻi, ʻaia mo e kau tangata ʻe toko hongofulu mo ia, kia Ketalia ko e foha ʻo ʻAhikami ki Misipa; pea naʻa nau kai mā fakataha ʻi Misipa.

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.

Pea tuʻu hake ʻa ʻIsimeʻeli ko e foha ʻo Natania, mo e kau tangata ʻe toko hongofulu naʻe ʻiate ia, pea nau taaʻi aki ʻae heletā ʻa Ketalia ko e foha ʻo ʻAhikami ko e foha ʻo Safani, pea tāmateʻi ia, ʻaia naʻe fakanofo ʻe he tuʻi ʻo Papilone ke pule ki he fonua.

3 Ishmael also killed all the Jews who were with Gedaliah at Mizpah, and the Chaldean men of war who were found there.

Pea naʻe tāmateʻi foki ʻe ʻIsimeʻeli ʻae kau Siu kotoa pē naʻe ʻiate ia, ʻaia naʻe ia Ketalia, ʻi Misipa, pea mo e kau Kalitia naʻe ʻi ai, pea mo e kautau.

4 The second day after he had killed Gedaliah, and no man knew it,

Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē ʻi hono ua ʻoe ʻaho ʻi he hili ʻae tāmateʻi ʻo Ketalia, ʻi he teʻeki ke ʻilo ia ʻe ha tokotaha,

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.

Naʻe haʻu ʻae kau tangata mei Sikemi, pea mei Sailo, pea mei Samelia, ko e toko valungofulu kuo tele honau kava, pea kuo mahaehae honau kofu, pea foa ʻakinautolu, pea naʻe ʻi honau nima ʻae feilaulau mo e meʻa namu kakala, ke ʻomi ki he fale ʻo Sihova.

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.”

Pea naʻe ʻalu atu ʻa ʻIsimeʻeli ko e foha ʻo Natania mei Misipa ke fakafetaulaki mo kinautolu, pea naʻe tangi maʻu pe ia ʻi heʻene ʻalu: pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē ʻi heʻene fetaulaki mo kinautolu naʻa ne pehē kiate kinautolu, “Mou omi kia Ketalia ko e foha ʻAhikami,”

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.

Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē ʻi heʻenau haʻu ki loto kolo, naʻe tāmateʻi ʻakinautolu ʻo lī ki he luo, ʻe ʻIsimeʻeli ko e foha ʻo Natania, ko ia, mo e kau tangata naʻe ʻiate ia.

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.

Ka naʻe ʻiate kinautolu ʻae kau tangata ʻe toko hongofulu, naʻe lea kia ʻIsimeʻeli, ʻo pehē, “ʻOua naʻa ke tāmateʻi ʻakimautolu he ʻoku ʻiate kimautolu ʻae ngaahi koloa kuo fakafufū ʻi he ngaahi ngoue, ko e uite, mo e paʻale, mo e lolo, pea mo e meʻa huʻamelie.” Ko ia naʻa ne tafoki, pea naʻe ʻikai tāmateʻi ʻakinautolu mo honau kāinga.

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.

Pea ko e luo, ʻaia naʻe lī ki ai ʻe ʻIsimeʻeli ʻae ʻangaʻanga ʻoe kau tangata, naʻa ne tāmateʻi fakataha mo Ketalia, ko ia pe naʻe ngaohi ʻe he tuʻi ko ʻAsa, ko ʻene manavahē kia Paʻasa ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli; pea ko ia, naʻe fakapito aki ia ʻae kakai kuo tāmateʻi, ʻe ʻIsimeʻeli ko e foha ʻo Natania.

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.

Pea naʻe fakapōpula ʻe ʻIsimeʻeli ʻae toenga kakai kotoa pē naʻe ʻi Misipa, ʻae ʻofefine ʻoe tuʻi, pea mo e kakai kotoa pē naʻe toe ʻi Misipa, ʻakinautolu naʻe fakanofo ʻe Nepusaatani ko e ʻeiki ʻoe kau tau ke pule ki ai ʻa Ketalia, ko e foha ʻo ʻAhikami: pea naʻe ʻave fakapōpula ʻakinautolu ʻe ʻIsimeʻeli ko e foha ʻo Natania, pea naʻe ʻalu atu ia ki he kau ʻAmoni.

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,

Pea kuo fanongo ʻa Sohanani, ko e foha ʻo Kalia, pea mo e houʻeikitau kotoa pē naʻe ʻiate ia, ki he kovi kotoa pē kuo fai ʻe ʻIsimeʻeli ko e foha ʻo Natania,

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.

Naʻa nau ʻave ʻae kau tangata kotoa pē, ʻonau ō ke tauʻi ʻa ʻIsimeʻeli ko e foha ʻo Natania, pea naʻe ʻilo ia ʻi he kauvai lahi ʻaia ʻoku ʻi Kipione.

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.

Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻi he mamata ʻe he kakai kotoa pē naʻe ʻia ʻIsimeʻeli ʻa Sohanani ko e foha ʻo Kalia, pea mo e houʻeikitau kotoa pē naʻe ʻiate ia, naʻa nau fiefia.

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.

Pea ko e kakai kotoa pē naʻe ʻave fakapōpula ʻe ʻIsimeʻeli mei Misipa, naʻa nau tafoki mai ʻo toe haʻu kia Sohanani ko e foha ʻo Kalia.

15 But Ishmael the son of Nethaniah escaped from Johanan with eight men, and went to the children of Ammon.

Ka naʻe hola meia Sohanani ʻa ʻIsimeʻeli ko e foha ʻo Natania mo e kau tangata ʻe toko valu, ʻo ʻalu ki he kau ʻAmoni.

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.

Pea hili hono tāmateʻi ʻa Ketalia ko e foha ʻo ʻAhikami, naʻe toki ʻave ʻe Sopanani ko e foha ʻo Kalia, ʻae houʻeikitau kotoa pē naʻe ʻiate ia, pea mo e toenga kakai kotoa pē ʻaia naʻe toe maʻu meia ʻIsimeʻeli ko e foha ʻo Natania, mei Misipa, ko e kau tau mālohi, mo e kau fefine, mo e fānau, pea mo e kau tangata talifekau ʻaia kuo toe omi mei Kipione:

17 They departed and lived in Geruth Chimham, which is by Bethlehem, to go to enter into Egypt

Pea naʻa nau ʻalu, ʻo nofo ʻi he potu ʻo Kimami, ʻaia ʻoku ofi ki Petelihema, koeʻuhi ke ʻalu ki ʻIsipite,

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.

Koeʻuhi ko e kau Kalitia: he naʻa nau manavahē kiate kinautolu, koeʻuhi kuo tāmateʻi ʻe ʻIsimeʻeli ko e foha ʻo Natania ʻa Ketalia ko e foha ʻo ʻAhikami, ʻaia kuo fakanofo ʻe he tuʻi ʻo Papilone ke pule ʻi he fonua.
