< 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.
Ie amy volam-paha-fitoy, le nivo­trak’ amy Gedalia ana’ i Ahikame e Mitspà ao t’Ismaele ana’ i Netania, ana’ i Elisama tirim-panjaka, ie mpiamo roandria’ i mpanjakaio, reketse ty lahilahy folo, vaho nitrao-pikama e Mitspa ao.
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.
Niongak’ amy zao t’Ismaele ana’ i Netania naho i folo lahy nindre ama’e rey, vaho linihi’ iereo fibara t’i Gedalia ana’ i Ahikame, ana’ i Safane; vinono iereo i noriza’ i mpanjaka’ i Baveley ho mpifehe’ i taneiy.
3 Ishmael also killed all the Jews who were with Gedaliah at Mizpah, as well as the Chaldean soldiers who were there.
Zinama’ Ismaele ka ze nte-Iehodà mpiama’e ao, o niharo amy Gedalia e Mitspào naho o nte-Kasdy nizoeñeo, o lahin-defoñeo.
4 On the second day after the murder of Gedaliah, when no one yet knew about it,
Ie herone amy namonoa’e i Gedaliay, ie tsy eo ty naharendreke,
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.
le totsake eo t’ indaty valompolo boake Sekeme naho boake Silò naho hirike Somerone, an-tanteahetse hinaratse naho sikiñe riniatse, vaho an-tsandriñe linililily, ninday enga mahakama naho embok’ am-pitàñe homb’añ’anjomba’ Iehovà mb’eo.
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.”
Aa le niavotse i Mitspà t’Ismaele ana’ i Netania hifanalaka am’ iereo, nangololoike ty rovetse t’ie nañavelo mb’eo; ie nigadoñe am’ iereo, le hoe ty asa’e ama’e: Antao homb’e Gedalia ana’ i Ahikame mb’eo.
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.
Aa ie naneñateña i rovay le zinama’ Ismaele ana’ i Netania rekets’ o mpi­ama’eo vaho namokovoko iareo am-po kadaha ao.
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.
Fe nizoeñe am’ iereo t’indaty folo nanao ty hoe amy Ismaele, Ko avetra’o fa aman-kaja mikafitse an-tonda ao, ty vare-bolè, naho ampemba, naho menake vaho tantele. Aa le napo’e, tsy vinono’e miharo amo rolongo’eo.
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.
I kadaha najorobo’ Ismaele i lolo amy Gedalia rezay le ty nanoe’ i Asa mpanjaka ty amy Baasa mpanjaka’ Israeley; le natsafe’ Ismaele ana’ i Netania ama’e ao o vinonoo.
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.
Le fonga nendese’ Ismaele an-drohy añe ty sehanga’ ondaty e Mitspà ao, o anak’ ampela’ i mpanjakaio naho ze kila ondaty nengañe e Mitspà ao, o nafanto’ i Nebozaradene mpifehe mpigaritse amy Gedalia, ana’ i Ahikame; aa le nasese’ Ismaele ana’ i Natania an-drohy vaho nienga hitsake mb’amo ana’ i Amaneo añe.
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,
Aa ie jinanji’ Iohanane ana’ i Karea naho o mpifehen-dahindefo mpiama’eo ty halò-tsereke nanoe’ Ismaele ana’ i Netania,
12 they took all their men and went to fight Ishmael son of Nethaniah. And they found him near the great pool in Gibeon.
le nendese’iereo o lahilahy iabio naho nionjoñe mb’eo hifangantotse am’Ismaele ana’ i Netania, vaho nitendrek’ ama’e an-drano-bey e Gibone eo.
13 When all the people with Ishmael saw Johanan son of Kareah and all the commanders of the army with him, they rejoiced,
Le ie niisa’ o hene ondaty nindre am’ Ismaeleo t’Ioha­nane ana’ i Karea, naho o mpifehe lahin-defoñe nindre ama’eo, le nifale,
14 and all the people whom Ishmael had taken captive at Mizpah turned and went over to Johanan son of Kareah.
naho songa niamboho vaho niveve mb’ am’ Iohanane ana’ i Karea mb’eo ondaty nasese’ Ismaele an-drohy boake Mitspào.
15 But Ishmael son of Nethaniah and eight of his men escaped from Johanan and went to the Ammonites.
Fe niborafitse am’ Iehonane t’Ismaele ana’ i Netania reketse ty ondaty valo, nimb’ amo ana’ i Amoneo mb’eo.
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.
Aa le nendese’ Iohanane, ana’ i Ka­rea, naho ze hene mpifehe lahin-defoñe nindre ama’e, ty sisa’ ondaty rinambe’e am’Ismaele ana’ i Netania, boak’e Mitspàao—ie fa vinono’e t’i Gedalia ana’ i Ahikame naho o mpiama’eo—o lahilahio naho o lahindefoñeo naho o rakembao, naho o ajajao, naho o vositse nendese’e boake Giboneo,
17 And they went and stayed in Geruth Chimham, near Bethlehem, in order to proceed into Egypt
le nienga, vaho nañialo an-kialo’ i Kimhame marine i Betlekheme añe, hiavotse mb’e Mitsraime añe,
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.
ty amo nte-Kasdio, amy t’ie nihembaña’ iereo, ty amy namonoa’ Ismaele ana’ i Netania t’i Gedalia ana’ i Ahikame, i nampifelehe’ i mpanjaka’ i Baveley i taneiy.
