Jeremiah 41
1 In the seventh month of the year, Ishmael son of Nethaniah, son of Elishama, a member of the royal family and one of the king's chief officers, came with ten of his men to see Gedaliah at Mizpah. While they were eating to have a meal together,
et factum est in mense septimo venit Ismahel filius Nathaniae filii Elisama de semine regali et optimates regis et decem viri cum eo ad Godoliam filium Ahicam in Masphat et comederunt ibi panes simul in Masphat
2 suddenly Ishmael and his ten men got up and attacked Gedaliah, killing him—the one appointed by the king of Babylon as the country's governor.
surrexit autem Ismahel filius Nathaniae et decem viri qui erant cum eo et percusserunt Godoliam filium Ahicam filii Saphan gladio et interfecerunt eum quem praefecerat rex Babylonis terrae
3 Ishamel also killed all the other Judeans who were with Gedaliah at Mizpah, along with the Babylonian soldiers there.
omnes quoque Iudaeos qui erant cum Godolia in Masphat et Chaldeos qui repperti sunt ibi et viros bellatores percussit Ismahel
4 The day after Gedaliah had been murdered and before anyone knew about it,
secundo autem die postquam occiderat Godoliam nullo adhuc sciente
5 a group of eighty men arrived from Shechem, Shiloh, and Samaria. They had shaved off their beards, torn their clothes, and cut themselves. They were carrying grain offerings and frankincense for the Lord's Temple.
venerunt viri de Sychem et de Silo et de Samaria octoginta viri rasi barbam et scissis vestibus et squalentes munera et tus habebant in manu ut offerrent in domo Domini
6 Ishmael came out to meet them from Mizpah, weeping as he went along. When Ishmael met the men, he said, “Come and see what's happened to Gedaliah son of Ahikam!”
egressus ergo Ismahel filius Nathaniae in occursum eorum de Masphat incedens et plorans ibat cum autem occurrisset eis dixit ad eos venite ad Godoliam filium Ahicam
7 But when they arrived in town, Ishmael and his men killed most of them and threw their bodies into a cistern.
qui cum venissent ad medium civitatis interfecit eos Ismahel filius Nathaniae circa medium laci ipse et viri qui erant cum eo
8 But ten of them pleaded with Ishmael, “Don't kill us! We've got some good things hidden in the fields—wheat, barley, olive oil, and honey.” So Ishmael didn't kill them along with the others.
decem autem viri repperti sunt inter eos qui dixerunt ad Ismahel noli occidere nos quia habemus thesauros in agro frumenti et hordei et olei et mellis et cessavit et non interfecit eos cum fratribus suis
9 (The cistern where Ishmael had thrown all the bodies of the men he'd killed, including Gedaliah, was a large one that King Asa had dug because of the threat of attack by Baasha king of Israel. Ishmael filled it with bodies.)
lacus autem in quem proiecerat Ismahel omnia cadavera virorum quos percussit propter Godoliam ipse est quem fecit rex Asa propter Baasa regem Israhel ipsum replevit Ismahel filius Nathaniae occisis
10 Then Ishmael took all the people left in Mizpah prisoner, including the daughters of the king, as well as everyone else living there. These were the people that Nebuzaradan the commander of the guard had put under the care of Gedaliah. Ishmael took them prisoner and left to go to the Ammonites.
et captivas duxit Ismahel omnes reliquias populi qui erant in Masphat filias regis et universum populum qui remanserat in Masphat quos commendarat Nabuzardan princeps militiae Godoliae filio Ahicam et cepit eos Ismahel filius Nathaniae et abiit ut transiret ad filios Ammon
11 Johanan and all the army commanders of the armies with him found out about all of Ishmael's crimes.
audivit autem Iohanan filius Caree et omnes principes bellatorum qui erant cum eo omne malum quod fecerat Ismahel filius Nathaniae
12 So they assembled all their men and went to attack Ishmael. They caught up with him near the large pool in Gibeon.
et adsumptis universis viris profecti sunt ut bellarent adversum Ismahel filium Nathaniae et invenerunt eum ad aquas Multas quae sunt in Gabaon
13 When Ishmael's prisoners saw Johanan and all the army commanders with him, they were happy.
cumque vidisset omnis populus qui erat cum Ismahel Iohanan filium Caree et universos principes bellatorum qui erant cum eo laetati sunt
14 All those that Ishmael had taken prisoner at Mizpah turned around and ran back to Johanan.
et reversus est omnis populus quem ceperat Ismahel in Masphat reversusque abiit ad Iohanan filium Caree
15 Ishmael and eight of his men managed to escape from Johanan and get away to the Ammonites.
Ismahel autem filius Nathaniae fugit cum octo viris a facie Iohanan et abiit ad filios Ammon
16 Then Johanan and all the army commanders with him took charge of the survivors from Mizpah he'd rescued from Ishmael in Gibeon—the soldiers, women, children, and court officials that Ishmael had taken prisoner after he'd killed Gedaliah.
tulit ergo Iohanan filius Caree et omnes principes bellatorum qui erant cum eo universas reliquias vulgi quas reduxerat ab Ismahel filio Nathaniae de Masphat postquam percussit Godoliam filium Ahicam fortes viros ad proelium et mulieres et pueros et eunuchos quos reduxerat de Gabaon
17 They set off for Geruth Chimham near Bethlehem and stayed there, before leaving for Egypt
et abierunt et sederunt peregrinantes in Chamaam quae est iuxta Bethleem ut pergerent et introirent Aegyptum
18 to get away from the Babylonians. They were afraid of what the Babylonians would do because Ishmael had assassinated Gedaliah, the governor of the country appointed by the king of Babylon.
a facie Chaldeorum timebant enim eos quia percusserat Ismahel filius Nathaniae Godoliam filium Ahicam quem praeposuerat rex Babylonis in terra Iuda
