< Jeremiah 41 >

1 And it came to pass in the seventh month, that Ismahel the son of Nathanias, the son of Elisama of the royal blood, and the nobles of the king, and ten men with him, came to Godolias the son of Ahicam into Masphath: and they ate bread there together in Masphath.
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 And Ismahel the son of Nathanias arose, and the ten men that were with him, and they struck Godolias the son of Ahicam, the son of Saphan with the sword, and slew him whom the king of Babylon had made governor over 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 Ismahel slew also all the Jews that were with Godolias in Masphath, and the Chaldeans that were found there, and the soldiers.
Isimaeli abomaki lisusu Bayuda oyo bazalaki elongo na Gedalia, na Mitsipa, elongo na basoda ya Babiloni oyo bazalaki wana.
4 And on the second day after he had killed Godolias, no man yet knowing it,
Mokolo oyo elandaki kufa ya Gedalia, liboso ete sango eyebana epai ya bato,
5 There came some from Sichem, and from Silo, and from Samaria, fourscore men, with their beards shaven, and their clothes rent, and mourning: and they had offerings and incense in their hand, to offer in 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 Ismahel the son of Nathanias went forth from Masphath to meet them, weeping all along as he went: and when he had met them, he said to them: Come to Godolias, the son of Ahicam.
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 were come to the midst of the city, Ismahel the son of Nathanias, slew them, and cast them into the midst of the pit, he and the men that were with him.
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 men were found among them, that said to Ismahel: Kill us not: for we have stores in the field, of wheat, and barley, and oil, and honey. And he forbore, and slew them not with their brethren.
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 And the pit into which Ismahel cast all the dead bodies of the men whom he slew because of Godolias, is the same that king Asa made, for fear of Baasa the king of Israel: the same did Ismahel the son of Nathanias fill with them that were 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 Ismahel carried away captive all the remnant of the people that were in Masphath: the king’s daughters, and all the people that remained in Masphath: whom Nabuzardan the general of the army had committed to Godolias the son of Ahicam. And Ismahel the son of Nathanias took them, and he departed, to go over to the children of Ammon.
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 But Johanan the son of Caree, and all the captains of the fighting men that were with him, heard of the evil that Ismahel the son of Nathanias had done.
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 And taking all the men, they went out to fight against Ismahel the son of Nathanias, and they found him by the great waters that are in Gabaon.
basangisaki bato na bango nyonso mpe bakendeki kobundisa Isimaeli, mwana mobali ya Netania; bakutanaki na ye pene ya liziba monene ya Gabaoni.
13 And when all the people that were with Ismahel, had seen Johanan the son of Caree, and all the captains of the fighting men that were 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 Ismahel had taken, went back to Masphath: and they returned and went to Johanan the son of Caree.
mpe bato nyonso oyo Isimaeli amemaki lokola bawumbu, na Mitsipa, babalukaki mpe bakendeki kosangana na Yoanani, mwana mobali ya Karea.
15 But Ismahel the son of Nathanias fled with eight men, from the face of Johanan, and went to the children of Ammon.
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 the son of Caree, and all the captains of the soldiers that were with him, took all the remnant of the people whom they had recovered from Ismahel the son of Nathanias, from Masphath, after that he had slain Godolias the son of Ahicam: valiant men for war, and the women, and the children, and the eunuchs, whom he had brought back from Gabaon:
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 departed, and sat as sojourners in Chamaam, which is near Bethlehem: in order to go forward, and enter 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 From the face of the Chaldeans: for they were afraid of them, because Ismahel the son of Nathanias had slain Godolias the son of Ahicam, whom the king of Babylon had made governor in the land of Juda.
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.
