Jeremiah 41
1 Now it came about in the seventh month that Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, the son of Elishama, of the king's seed, having with him ten men, came to Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam, in Mizpah; and they had a meal together in Mizpah.
Dalam bulan yang ketujuh datanglah Ismael bin Netanya bin Elisama--ia keturunan raja dan perwira tinggi raja--beserta sepuluh orang kepada Gedalya bin Ahikam di Mizpa. Sementara mereka makan roti bersama-sama di Mizpa,
2 Then Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, and the ten men who were with him, got up, and attacking Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, with the sword, put to death him whom the king of Babylon had made ruler over the land.
maka bangkitlah Ismael bin Netanya dengan kesepuluh orang yang ada bersama-sama dia, lalu mereka memukul mati Gedalya bin Ahikam bin Safan dengan pedang; demikianlah Ismael membunuh dia yang telah diangkat raja Babel atas negeri itu.
3 And Ishmael put to death all the Jews who were with him, even with Gedaliah, at Mizpah, and the Chaldaean men of war.
Juga semua orang Yehuda yang ada bersama-sama dengan Gedalya di Mizpa dan orang-orang Kasdim, yakni prajurit, yang terdapat di sana dipukul mati oleh Ismael.
4 Now on the second day after he had put Gedaliah to death, when no one had knowledge of it,
Esok harinya sesudah ia membunuh Gedalya--ketika itu belum ada yang tahu--
5 Some people came from Shechem, from Shiloh and Samaria, eighty men, with the hair of their faces cut off and their clothing out of order, and with cuts on their bodies, and in their hands meal offerings and perfumes which they were taking to the house of the Lord.
datanglah orang-orang dari Sikhem, dari Silo dan dari Samaria, delapan puluh orang jumlahnya, yang janggutnya bercukur, pakaiannya koyak-koyak dan badannya bertoreh-toreh; mereka membawa korban sajian dan kemenyan untuk dipersembahkan di rumah TUHAN.
6 And Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, went out from Mizpah with the purpose of meeting them, weeping on his way: and it came about that when he was face to face with them he said, Come to Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam.
Lalu keluarlah Ismael bin Netanya dari Mizpa untuk mendapatkan mereka sambil menangis. Ketika ia bertemu dengan mereka, berkatalah ia kepada mereka: "Pergilah kepada Gedalya bin Ahikam!"
7 And when they came inside the town, Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, and the men who were with him, put them to death and put their bodies into a deep hole.
Tetapi ketika mereka sampai ke tengah-tengah kota itu, maka mereka disembelih oleh Ismael bin Netanya dengan dibantu oleh orang-orang yang bersama-sama dengan dia; mayat-mayat mereka dicampakkan ke dalam perigi.
8 But there were ten men among them who said to Ishmael, Do not put us to death, for we have secret stores, in the country, of grain and oil and honey. So he did not put them to death with their countrymen.
Tetapi di antara mereka terdapat sepuluh orang yang berkata kepada Ismael: "Janganlah bunuh kami, sebab kami masih mempunyai perbekalan tersembunyi di luar kota, yakni gandum, jelai, minyak dan madu!" Maka iapun membiarkan mereka, tidak membunuhnya bersama-sama dengan rekan-rekan mereka.
9 Now the hole into which Ishmael had put the dead bodies of the men whom he had put to death, was the great hole which Asa the king had made for fear of Baasha, king of Israel: and Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, made it full of the bodies of those who had been put to death.
Adapun perigi, ke mana Ismael melemparkan segala mayat orang-orang yang dipukulnya mati itu adalah perigi besar yang telah dibuat oleh raja Asa untuk menghadapi Baesa, raja Israel; itulah yang diisi Ismael bin Netanya dengan mayat orang-orang yang mati terbunuh itu.
10 Then Ishmael took away as prisoners all the rest of the people who were in Mizpah, the king's daughters and all the people still in Mizpah, whom Nebuzaradan, the captain of the armed men, had put under the care of Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam: Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, took them away prisoners with the purpose of going over to the children of Ammon.
Lalu Ismael mengangkut sebagai tawanan seluruh sisa-sisa rakyat yang ada di Mizpa itu, puteri-puteri raja dan semua orang yang masih tinggal di Mizpa yang telah ditempatkan di bawah Gedalya bin Ahikam oleh Nebuzaradan, kepala pasukan pengawal itu. Ismael bin Netanya mengangkut mereka sebagai tawanan, lalu ia berangkat untuk menyeberang ke daerah bani Amon.
11 But when Johanan, the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the armed forces who were with him, had news of all the evil which Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, had done,
Tetapi ketika Yohanan bin Kareah serta semua perwira tentara, yang bersama-sama dengan dia, mendengar tentang segala kejahatan yang telah dilakukan Ismael bin Netanya,
12 They took their men and went out to make war on Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, and they came face to face with him by the great waters in Gibeon.
maka merekapun mengumpulkan semua anak buah mereka, lalu mereka berangkat memerangi Ismael bin Netanya. Mereka bertemu dengan dia di telaga yang di Gibeon.
13 Now when all the people who were with Ishmael saw Johanan, the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces with him, then they were glad.
Ketika seluruh rakyat yang bersama-sama dengan Ismael melihat Yohanan bin Kareah serta semua perwira tentara yang bersama-sama dengan dia, maka bersukacitalah mereka.
14 And all the people whom Ishmael had taken away prisoners from Mizpah, turning round, came back and went to Johanan, the son of Kareah.
Semua orang yang diangkut sebagai tawanan oleh Ismael dari Mizpa itu berbalik dan pergi mengikuti Yohanan bin Kareah.
15 But Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, got away from Johanan, with eight men, and went to the children of Ammon.
Tetapi Ismael bin Netanya beserta delapan orang terluput dari tangan Yohanan dan pergi ke daerah bani Amon.
16 Then Johanan, the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces who were with him, took all the rest of the people whom Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, had made prisoners, after he had put to death Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam, the people from Mizpah, that is, the men of war and the women and the children and the unsexed servants, whom he had taken back with him from Gibeon:
Lalu Yohanan bin Kareah serta semua perwira tentara yang bersama-sama dengan dia mengumpulkan seluruh sisa-sisa rakyat yang diangkut sebagai tawanan oleh Ismael bin Netanya dari Mizpa, setelah ia memukul mati Gedalya bin Ahikam: yaitu laki-laki, prajurit-prajurit, perempuan, anak-anak dan pegawai-pegawai istana yang dibawa kembali dari Gibeon,
17 And they went and were living in the resting-place of Chimham, which is near Beth-lehem on the way into Egypt,
kemudian mereka berjalan terus dan berhenti di tempat penginapan milik Kimham dekat Betlehem, dengan maksud berjalan terus menuju Mesir,
18 Because of the Chaldaeans: for they were in fear of them because Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, had put to death Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam, whom the king of Babylon had made ruler over the land.
untuk mengelakkan orang-orang Kasdim, yang ditakuti mereka, oleh karena Ismael bin Netanya telah memukul mati Gedalya bin Ahikam yang telah diangkat raja Babel atas negeri itu.
