< Jeremiah 41 >

1 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.
Na sanza ya sambo, Isimaeli, mwana mobali ya Netania mpe koko ya Elishama, oyo azalaki na molongo ya libota ya bokonzi mpe moko kati na bakengeli ya mokonzi, ayaki elongo na basoda zomi epai ya Gedalia, mwana mobali ya Ayikami, na Mitsipa. Wana bazalaki kolia na Mitsipa,
2 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.
Isimaeli, mwana mobali ya Netania, elongo na basoda wana zomi oyo bazalaki elongo na ye babomaki na mopanga Gedalia, mwana mobali ya Ayikami, mwana mobali ya Shafani, oyo mokonzi ya Babiloni akomisaki moyangeli kati na mokili.
3 Ishmael also killed all the Jews who were with Gedaliah at Mizpah, as well as the Chaldean soldiers who were there.
Isimaeli abomaki lisusu Bayuda oyo bazalaki elongo na Gedalia, na Mitsipa, elongo na basoda ya Babiloni oyo bazalaki wana.
4 On the second day after the murder of Gedaliah, when no one yet knew about it,
Mokolo oyo elandaki kufa ya Gedalia, liboso ete sango eyebana epai ya bato,
5 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.
bato tuku mwambe bawutaki na Sishemi, na Silo mpe na Samari; bazalaki na mandefu bakata, bilamba epasuka-pasuka, mpe bamizokisaki-zokisaki bapota na banzoto. Bamemaki makabo ya bagato mpe malasi ya ansa mpo na kobonza yango kati na Tempelo ya Yawe.
6 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.”
Isimaeli, mwana mobali ya Netania, abimaki na Mitsipa mpo na kokende kokutana na bango; wana azalaki kokende kokutana na bango, azalaki kolela nzela-nzela. Bongo tango akutanaki na bango, alobaki na bango: — Boya kotala Gedalia, mwana mobali ya Ayikami!
7 And when they came into the city, Ishmael son of Nethaniah and the men with him slaughtered them and threw them into a cistern.
Tango bakotaki kati na engumba, Isimaeli, mwana mobali ya Netania, mpe bato oyo bazalaki elongo na ye babomaki bango mpe babwakaki bango na libulu.
8 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.
Kasi bato zomi kati na bango balobaki na Isimaeli: — Koboma biso te! Tozali na ble, na orje, na mafuta mpe na mafuta ya nzoyi, oyo tobombaki kati na bilanga. Boye, abomaki bango lisusu te, abikisaki bango elongo na bandeko na bango.
9 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.
Libulu epai wapi Isimaeli abwakaki bato nyonso oyo abomaki ezalaki libulu ya Gedalia, libulu oyo mokonzi Asa asalaki mpo na komibatela liboso ya Baesha, mokonzi ya Isalaele. Isimaeli, mwana mobali ya Netania, atondisaki yango na bibembe;
10 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.
bongo akomisaki bato nyonso oyo batikalaki na Mitsipa bawumbu: bana basi ya mokonzi mpe bato mosusu oyo batikalaki kuna na Mitsipa, oyo Nebuzaradani, mokonzi ya bakengeli ya mokonzi, atiaki na se ya bokonzi ya Gedalia, mwana mobali ya Ayikami. Isimaeli, mwana mobali ya Netania, amemaki bato oyo amemaki bango lokola bawumbu kati na mokili ya bato ya Amoni.
11 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,
Tango Yoanani, mwana mobali ya Karea, mpe bakonzi nyonso ya basoda, oyo bazalaki elongo na ye bayokaki sango ya makambo mabe oyo Isimaeli, mwana mobali ya Netania, asalaki,
12 they took all their men and went to fight Ishmael son of Nethaniah. And they found him near the great pool in Gibeon.
basangisaki bato na bango nyonso mpe bakendeki kobundisa Isimaeli, mwana mobali ya Netania; bakutanaki na ye pene ya liziba monene ya Gabaoni.
13 When all the people with Ishmael saw Johanan son of Kareah and all the commanders of the army with him, they rejoiced,
Tango bawumbu nyonso oyo Isimaeli akangaki bamonaki Yoanani, mwana mobali ya Karea, mpe bakonzi nyonso ya basoda, oyo bazalaki elongo na ye, batondisamaki na esengo makasi;
14 and all the people whom Ishmael had taken captive at Mizpah turned and went over to Johanan son of Kareah.
mpe bato nyonso oyo Isimaeli amemaki lokola bawumbu, na Mitsipa, babalukaki mpe bakendeki kosangana na Yoanani, mwana mobali ya Karea.
15 But Ishmael son of Nethaniah and eight of his men escaped from Johanan and went to the Ammonites.
Kasi Isimaeli, mwana mobali ya Netania, mpe bato mwambe oyo bazalaki elongo na ye babikaki na maboko ya Yoanani mpe bakimaki epai ya bato ya Amoni.
16 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.
Sima na yango, Yoanani, mwana mobali ya Karea, mpe bakonzi nyonso ya basoda oyo bazalaki elongo na ye bamemaki bato nyonso ya Mitsipa oyo babikaki, oyo Isimaeli, mwana mobali ya Netania, amemaki na bowumbu wuta na Mitsipa sima na ye koboma Gedalia, mwana mobali ya Ayikami: basoda, basi, bana mpe bakalaka ya lokumu ya mokonzi; elingi koloba bato nyonso oyo azongisaki wuta na Gabaoni.
17 And they went and stayed in Geruth Chimham, near Bethlehem, in order to proceed into Egypt
Bakobaki nzela na bango mpe batelemaki na molako ya Kimeami, pene ya Beteleemi, mpo ete bazalaki na posa ya kokende na Ejipito
18 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.
mpo na kokima bato ya Babiloni, pamba te bazalaki kobanga bango; mpe mpo ete Isimaeli, mwana mobali ya Netania, abomaki Gedalia, mwana mobali ya Ayikami, oyo mokonzi ya Babiloni akomisaki moyangeli ya mokili.
