< Jeremiah 41 >

1 And it happened that, in the seventh month, Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, the son of Elishama of royal descent, with the nobles of the king, and accompanied by ten men, went to Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam, at Mizpah. And they ate bread together there, in Mizpah.
E dwe mar abiriyo Ishmael wuod Nethania, ma wuod Elishama, mane aa e anywola mar joka ruoth kendo ma bende ne achiel kuom jotend ruoth, nobiro Mizpa gi ji apar ir Gedalia wuod Ahikam. E kinde mane gichiemo kanyakla kanyo,
2 Then Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, rose up, and the ten men who were with him, and they struck down Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, with the sword, and they killed him whom the king of Babylon had made governor over the land.
Ishmael wuod Nethania kod ji apar mane ni kode nochungʼ malo kendo onego Gedalia wuod Ahikam, ma wuod Shafan, gi ligangla, ma ginego ngʼatno ma ruodh Babulon noyiero kaka jatelo e pinyno.
3 Likewise, Ishmael struck down all the Jews who were with Gedaliah at Mizpah, with the Chaldeans who were found there, and the men of war.
Ishmael nonego bende jo-Yahudi duto mane nigi Gedalia Mizpa, kaachiel gi jolwenj Babulon mane ni kanyo.
4 Then, on the second day after he had killed Gedaliah, while no one yet knew of it,
Kinyne ka Gedalia nosenegi, ka pod ngʼato angʼata ne ok ongʼeyo wachni,
5 men arrived from Shechem, and from Shiloh, and from Samaria, eighty men, with their beards shaved, and their garments rent, and unbathed. And they had gifts and frankincense in hand, so that they might make an offering in the house of the Lord.
chwo piero aboro mane olielo tikgi mapoth, manoyiecho lepgi kendo mongʼado dendgi nobiro koa Shekem, Shilo kod Samaria, ka gikelo chiwo mar cham gi ubani e od Jehova Nyasaye.
6 Therefore, Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, departing from Mizpah to meet them, went forth weeping as he was walking. And when he had met them, he said to them, “Come to Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam.”
Ishmael wuod Nethania noa Mizpa mondo orom kodgi, ka oywak e sache mane odhi. Kane oromo kodgi, nowachonegi niya, “Biuru ir Gedalia wuod Ahikam.”
7 And when they had arrived at the center of the city, Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, put them to death around the public cistern, he and the men who were with him.
Kane gidhi e dala maduongʼ, Ishmael wuod Nethania kod chwo mane ni kode nonegogi mi owitogi ei bur.
8 But ten men were found among them, who said to Ishmael: “Do not kill us! For in the field we have storehouses of grain and barley and oil and honey.” And so he ceased, and he did not put them to death with their brothers.
To ji apar kuomgi nowachone Ishmael niya, “Kik inegwa! Wan gi ngano kod shairi gi mo, kod mor kich, mwapando e puothe.” Omiyo noweyogi kendo ne ok onegogi gi joma moko.
9 Now the cistern, into which Ishmael cast all the dead bodies of the men whom he had struck down because of Gedaliah, is the same one that king Asa made out of fear of Baasha, the king of Israel. This same cistern Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, filled with those who were slain.
Koro buche mane owitoe ringre chwo duto mane osenego kaachiel gi Gedalia ne en mano mane Ruoth Asa oloso kaka kar pondone kane okedo gi Baasha ruodh Israel. Ishmael wuod Nethania nopongʼe gi ringre joma otho.
10 Then Ishmael led away captive all the remnant of the people who were at Mizpah, the king’s daughters as well as all the people who remained at Mizpah, whom Nebuzaradan, the leader of the military, had committed to Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam. And Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, seized them and went away, so that he might go over to the sons of Ammon.
Ishmael nomako jogo mane odongʼ duto ei Mizpa mane gin nyi ruoth kaachiel gi jogo duto mane odongʼ kanyo, jogo mane Nebuzaradan jatend lweny mar piny noketo Gedalia wuod Ahikam mondo oriti. Ishmael wuod Nethania nomakogi kendo negichako ka gingʼado gidhi loka Amon.
11 But Johanan, the son of Kareah, and all the leaders of the fighters who were with him, heard about all the evil that Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, had done.
Ka Johanan wuod Karea kod jotend lweny duto mane ni kode nowinjo timbe njore duto mane Ishmael wuod Nethania nosetimo,
12 And taking all the men, they set out to make war against Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah. And they found him at the great waters that are in Gibeon.
negikawo jolweny mag-gi duto mi gidhi mondo giked gi Ishmael wuod Nethania. Ne gijuke but pi maduongʼ man Gibeon.
13 And when all the people who were with Ishmael had seen Johanan, the son of Kareah, and all the leaders of the fighters who were with him, they rejoiced.
Ka jogo mane nigi Ishmael omako noneno Johanan wuod Karea kod jotend lweny mane ni kode, negimor.
14 And all the people whom Ishmael had seized turned back to Mizpah. And they returned and went over to Johanan, the son of Kareah.
Jogo duto mane Ishmael omako Mizpa nolokore modhi ir Johanan wuod Karea.
15 But Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, fled with eight men from the face of Johanan, and they went over to the sons of Ammon.
To Ishmael wuod Nethania kod joge aboro notony oa ir Johanan mi giringo gidhi ir jo-Amon.
16 Therefore, Johanan, the son of Kareah, and all the leaders of the fighters who were with him, took from Mizpah the entire remnant of the common people, whom they had led away from Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, after he had struck down Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam. These were strong men of battle, and women, and children, and eunuchs: those whom he had led away from Gibeon.
Eka Johanan wuod Karea kod jotend lweny duto mane ni kode nokawo joma notony duto mane oa Mizpa, ma noreso e lwet Ishmael wuod Nethania bangʼ kane osenego Gedalia wuod Ahikam; mane gin jolweny, mon, nyithindo kod jodongo mane obirogo koa Gibeon.
17 And they went away and settled as sojourners at Chimham, which is near Bethlehem, so that they might continue on and enter into Egypt,
Kendo negidhi nyime, ma gichungʼ Geruth Kimham but Bethlehem ka gidhi Misri,
18 away from the face of the Chaldeans. For they were afraid of them, because Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, had struck down Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam, whom the king of Babylon had made governor in the land of Judah.
mondo gipondne jo-Babulon. Ne giluorogi nikech Ishmael wuod Nethania nosenego Gedalia wuod Ahikam, mane ruodh Babulon oyiero kaka jatelo e pinyno.
