< 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.
Ní oṣù keje Iṣmaeli, ọmọ Netaniah ọmọ Eliṣama, nínú irú-ọmọ ọba, àti àwọn ìjòyè ọba, àti àwọn ọkùnrin mẹ́wàá pẹ̀lú rẹ̀, wọ́n tọ Gedaliah ọmọ Ahikamu wá ní Mispa; níbẹ̀ ni wọ́n jùmọ̀ jẹun ní Mispa.
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.
Iṣmaeli ọmọ Netaniah àti àwọn ọkùnrin mẹ́wàá tí wọ́n wà pẹ̀lú rẹ̀, sì dìde wọ́n kọlu Gedaliah ọmọ Ahikamu, ọmọ Ṣafani pẹ̀lú idà. Wọ́n sì pa á, ẹni tí ọba Babeli ti fi jẹ baálẹ̀ lórí ilẹ̀ náà.
3 Ishmael also killed all the Jews who were with Gedaliah at Mizpah, as well as the Chaldean soldiers who were there.
Iṣmaeli sì tún pa gbogbo àwọn Júù tí wọ́n wà pẹ̀lú Gedaliah ní Mispa, àti gbogbo àwọn ọmọ-ogun Babeli tí wọ́n wà níbẹ̀ bákan náà.
4 On the second day after the murder of Gedaliah, when no one yet knew about it,
Ní ọjọ́ kejì tí wọ́n pa Gedaliah kí ó tó di wí pé ẹnikẹ́ni mọ̀,
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.
àwọn ọgọ́rin ọkùnrin wá láti Ṣekemu, Ṣilo àti Samaria, wọ́n fa irùngbọ̀n wọn, wọ́n ya aṣọ wọn, wọ́n ṣá ara wọn lọ́gbẹ́, wọ́n mú ẹbọ ọpẹ́ àti tùràrí wá sí ilé Olúwa.
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.”
Iṣmaeli ọmọkùnrin Netaniah jáde kúrò láti Mispa láti lọ pàdé wọn. Ó sì ń sọkún bí ó ti ṣe ń lọ, nígbà tí ó pàdé wọn, ó wí pé, “Ẹ wá sọ́dọ̀ Gedaliah ọmọkùnrin Ahikamu.”
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.
Nígbà tí wọ́n dé ìlú náà; Iṣmaeli ọmọkùnrin Netaniah àti àwọn ọkùnrin tí ó wà pẹ̀lú rẹ̀ pa wọ́n, wọ́n sì sọ òkú wọn sínú ihò kan.
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.
Ṣùgbọ́n mẹ́wàá nínú wọn sọ fún Iṣmaeli pé, “Má ṣe pa wá! Àwa ní ọkà àti barle, òróró àti oyin ní ìpamọ́ nínú oko.” Nítorí náà, ó fi wọ́n sílẹ̀: kò sì pa wọ́n pẹ̀lú àwọn yòókù.
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.
Nísinsin yìí, ihò náà tí ó kó gbogbo ara àwọn ọkùnrin tí ó ti pa pẹ̀lú Gedaliah sí ni ọba Asa ń lò gẹ́gẹ́ bí i ààbò nítorí ọba Baaṣa ti Israẹli. Iṣmaeli ọmọ Netaniah sì ti kó òkú kún inú rẹ̀.
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.
Iṣmaeli sì kó gbogbo àwọn ènìyàn tí ó wà ní Mispa nígbèkùn, ọmọbìnrin ọba àti gbogbo àwọn ènìyàn tókù síbẹ̀ lórí àwọn tí Nebusaradani balógun àwọn ẹ̀ṣọ́ ti fi yan Gedaliah ọmọkùnrin Ahikamu ṣe olórí. Iṣmaeli ọmọkùnrin Netaniah kó wọn ní ìgbèkùn, ó sì jáde rékọjá sí ọ̀dọ̀ àwọn Ammoni.
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,
Nígbà tí Johanani ọmọkùnrin Karea àti gbogbo àwọn olórí ogun tí wọ́n wà pẹ̀lú rẹ̀ gbọ́ nípa gbogbo ìpànìyàn náà tí Iṣmaeli ọmọ Netaniah ti ṣe.
12 they took all their men and went to fight Ishmael son of Nethaniah. And they found him near the great pool in Gibeon.
Wọ́n kó gbogbo àwọn ọkùnrin wọn, wọ́n sì, lọ bá Iṣmaeli ọmọ Netaniah jà. Wọ́n pàdé rẹ̀ ní odò kan lẹ́bàá Gibeoni.
13 When all the people with Ishmael saw Johanan son of Kareah and all the commanders of the army with him, they rejoiced,
Nígbà tí gbogbo àwọn ènìyàn Iṣmaeli tí wọ́n wà pẹ̀lú rẹ̀ rí Johanani ọmọkùnrin Karea àti àwọn olórí ogun rẹ̀ pẹ̀lú rẹ̀, wọ́n sì yọ̀.
14 and all the people whom Ishmael had taken captive at Mizpah turned and went over to Johanan son of Kareah.
Gbogbo àwọn ènìyàn tí Iṣmaeli ti kó ní ìgbèkùn ní Mispa yípadà, wọ́n sì lọ sọ́dọ̀ Johanani ọmọ Karea.
15 But Ishmael son of Nethaniah and eight of his men escaped from Johanan and went to the Ammonites.
Ṣùgbọ́n Iṣmaeli ọmọkùnrin Netaniah àti àwọn mẹ́jọ nínú àwọn ọkùnrin rẹ̀ bọ́ lọ́wọ́ Johanani, wọ́n sì sálọ sí Ammoni.
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.
Lẹ́yìn náà Johanani ọmọkùnrin Karea àti gbogbo àwọn ọmọ-ogun tí wọn wà pẹ̀lú rẹ̀ sì kó gbogbo àwọn tí ó kù ní Mispa; àwọn tí ó ti rí gbà lọ́wọ́ Iṣmaeli ọmọkùnrin Netaniah; lẹ́yìn ìgbà tí ó ti pa Gedaliah ọmọ Ahikamu. Àwọn ọmọ-ogun, àwọn obìnrin, àwọn ọmọdé àti àwọn olórí ilé ẹjọ́ tí ó ti kó wa láti Gibeoni.
17 And they went and stayed in Geruth Chimham, near Bethlehem, in order to proceed into Egypt
Wọ́n sì kúrò níbẹ̀, wọ́n dúró ní Geruti Kimhamu ní ẹ̀bá Bẹtilẹhẹmu ní ọ́nà ìrìnàjò wọn sí Ejibiti.
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.
Láti gba àwọn Babeli sílẹ̀. Wọ́n bẹ̀rù wọn nítorí wí pé, “Iṣmaeli ọmọ Netaniah ti pa Gedaliah ọmọ Ahikamu èyí tí ọba Babeli ti yàn gẹ́gẹ́ bí i gómìnà lórí ilẹ̀ náà.”
