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,
Men i sjunde månadenom kom Ismael, Nethanja son, Elisama sons, af Konungsligo slägt, samt med Konungens öfverstar, och tio män med honom, till Gedalia, Ahikams son, i Mizpa, och der åto de tillhopa med hvarannan i Mizpa.
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.
Och Ismael, Nethanja son, stod upp, och de tio män som med honom voro, och slogo Gedalia, Ahikams son, Saphans sons, ihjäl med svärd, derföre att Konungen i Babel honom öfver hela landet satt hade.
3 Ishamel also killed all the other Judeans who were with Gedaliah at Mizpah, along with the Babylonian soldiers there.
Dertill slog Ismael alla de Judar, som när Gedalia voro i Mizpa, och de Chaldeer som der funnos, och alla krigsmännerna.
4 The day after Gedaliah had been murdered and before anyone knew about it,
Den andra dagen derefter, sedan Gedalia son var, och det ännu ingen visste,
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.
Kommo åttatio män af Sichem, af Silo, och Samarien, och hade rakat af skägget, och sönderrifvit sin kläder, och sargat sig, och båro spisoffer och rökelse med sig, att de det skulle offra uti Herrans hus.
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!”
Och Ismael, Nethanja son, gick ut ifrå Mizpa emot dem; gick och gret. Som han nu kom till dem, sade han till dem: I skolen komma till Gedalia, Ahikams son.
7 But when they arrived in town, Ishmael and his men killed most of them and threw their bodies into a cistern.
Men då de kommo midt in uti staden, drap dem Ismael, Nethanja son, och de män, som med honom voro, vid brunnen.
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.
Men der voro tio män ibland, de sade till Ismael: Käre, slå oss icke ihjäl; vi hafve ägodelar i åkrenom, af hvete, bjugg, oljo och hannog. Alltså höll han upp, och drap dem icke med de andra.
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.)
Men brunnen, der Ismael de dödas kroppar uti kastade, som han slagit hade, samt med Gedalia, är den som Konung Asa göra lät emot Baesa, Israels Konung; honom uppfyllde nu Ismael, Nethanja son, med de slagna.
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.
Och det folk, som qvart var i Mizpa, och Konungens döttrar, förde Ismael, Nethanja son, bort för fångar, samt med allt det folk som igenlåtet var i Mizpa, öfver hvilka NebuzarAdan, höfvitsmannen, Gedalia, Ahikams son, satt hade, och drog bort, och ville öfver in till Ammons barn.
11 Johanan and all the army commanders of the armies with him found out about all of Ishmael's crimes.
Men då Johanan, Kareahs son, med alla de höfvitsmän som med honom voro, fingo veta allt det onda, som Ismael, Nethanja son, bedrifvit hade,
12 So they assembled all their men and went to attack Ishmael. They caught up with him near the large pool in Gibeon.
Togo de allt folket till sig, och drogo bort emot Ismael, Nethanja son, till strids, och kommo till honom vid det stora vattnet i Gibeon.
13 When Ishmael's prisoners saw Johanan and all the army commanders with him, they were happy.
Då nu allt folket, som var med Ismael, sågo Johanan, Kareahs son, och alla de höfvitsmän som när honom voro, vordo de glade.
14 All those that Ishmael had taken prisoner at Mizpah turned around and ran back to Johanan.
Och allt det folk, som Ismael hade bortfört ifrå Mizpa, vände tillbaka, och föllo intill Johanan, Kareahs son.
15 Ishmael and eight of his men managed to escape from Johanan and get away to the Ammonites.
Men Ismael, Nethanja son, undkom Johanan med åtta män, och drog in till Ammons barn.
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.
Och Johanan, Kareahs son, samt med alla höfvitsmännerna som med honom voro, toga allt det qvarblefna folket (som de igentagit hade ifrån Ismael, Nethanja son) af Mizpa till sig, efter det Gedalia, Ahikams son, slagen var, nämliga krigsmän, qvinnor och barn, och kamererare, som de af Gibeon igenhemtat hade;
17 They set off for Geruth Chimham near Bethlehem and stayed there, before leaving for Egypt
Och droga bortåt, och kommo till herberge till Chimham vid BethLehem, och ville draga in uti Egypten,
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.
För de Chaldeer; förty de fruktade sig för dem, efter Ismael, Nethanja son, hade dräpit Gedalia, Ahikams son, den Konungen i Babel öfver landet satt hade.
