Jeremiah 41
1 But in the seuenth moneth came Ishmael the sonne of Nethaniah, the sonne of Elishama of the seede royall, and the princes of the King, and tenne men with him, vnto Gedaliah the sonne of Ahikam to Mizpah, and there they did eate bread together in Mizpah.
Et factum est in mense septimo, venit Ismahel filius Nathaniæ, filii Elisama de semine regali, et optimates regis, et decem viri cum eo, ad Godoliam filium Ahicam in Masphath: et comederunt ibi panes simul in Masphath.
2 Then arose Ishmael the sonne of Nethaniah with these tenne men that were with him, and smote Gedaliah the sonne of Ahikam the sonne of Shaphan with the sword, and slewe him, whom the King of Babel had made gouernour ouer the lande.
Surrexit autem Ismahel filius Nathaniæ, et decem viri, qui cum eo erant, et percusserunt Godoliam filium Ahicam filii Saphan gladio, et interfecerunt eum, quem præfecerat rex Babylonis terræ.
3 Ishmael also slewe all the Iewes that were with Gedaliah at Mizpah, and all the Caldeans that were found there, and the men of warre.
Omnes quoque Iudæos, qui erant cum Godolia in Masphath, et Chaldæos, qui reperti sunt ibi, et viros bellatores percussit Ismahel.
4 Now the second day that he had slaine Gedaliah, and no man knewe it,
Secundo autem die postquam occiderat Godoliam, nullo adhuc sciente,
5 There came men from Shechem, from Shiloh, and from Samaria, euen fourescore men, hauing their beardes shauen, and their clothes rent and cut, with offerings and incense in their hands to offer in the house of the Lord.
venerunt viri de Sichem, et de Silo, et de Samaria octoginta viri: rasi barba, et scissis vestibus, et squallentes: et munera, et thus habebant in manu, ut offerrent in domo Domini.
6 And Ishmael the sonne of Nethaniah went forth from Mizpah to meete them, weeping as he went: and when he met them, he said vnto them, Come to Gedaliah the sonne of Ahikam.
Egressus ergo Ismahel filius Nathaniæ in occursum eorum de Masphath, incedens et plorans ibat: cum autem occurrisset eis, dixit ad eos: Venite ad Godoliam filium Ahicam.
7 And when they came into the middes of the citie, Ishmael the sonne of Nethaniah slewe them, and cast them into the middes of the pit, he and the men that were with him.
Qui cum venissent ad medium civitatis, interfecit eos Ismahel filius Nathaniæ circa medium laci, ipse et viri, qui erant cum eo.
8 But tenne men were founde among them, that saide vnto Ishmael, Slay vs not: for we haue treasures in the fielde, of wheate, and of barley, and of oyle, and of honie: so he stayed, and slew them not among their brethren.
Decem autem viri reperti 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 Now the pit wherein Ishmael had cast the dead bodies of the men (whom he had slayne because of Gedaliah) is it, which Asa the King had made because of Basha King of Israel, and Ishmael the sonne of Nethaniah filled it with them that were slaine.
Lacus autem, in quem proiecerat Ismahel omnia cadavera virorum, quos percussit propter Godoliam, ipse est, quem fecit rex Asa propter Baasa regem Israel: ipsum replevit Ismahel filius Nathaniæ occisis.
10 Then Ishmael caryed away captiue all the residue of the people that were in Mizpah, euen the Kings daughters, and all the people that remained in Mizpah, whom Nebuzar-adan the chiefe steward had committed to Gedaliah the sonne of Ahikam, and Ishmael the sonne of Nethaniah caried them away captiue, and departed to goe ouer to the Ammonites.
Et captivas duxit Ismahel omnes reliquias populi, qui erant in Masphath: filias regis, et universum populum, qui remanserat in Masphath: quos commendaverat Nabuzardan princeps militiæ Godoliæ filio Ahicam. Et cepit eos Ismahel filius Nathaniæ, et abiit ut transiret ad filios Ammon.
11 But when Iohanan the sonne of Kareah, and all the captaines of the hoste that were with him, heard of all the euill that Ishmael the sonne of Nethaniah had done,
Audivit autem Iohanan filius Caree, et omnes principes bellatorum, qui erant cum eo, omne malum, quod fecerat Ismahel filius Nathaniæ.
12 Then they all tooke their men, and went to fight with Ishmael the sonne of Nethaniah, and founde him by ye great waters that are in Gibeon.
Et assumptis universis viris, profecti sunt ut bellarent adversum Ismahel filium Nathaniæ, et invenerunt eum ad aquas multas, quæ sunt in Gabaon.
13 Nowe when all the people whom Ishmael caryed away captiue, sawe Iohanan the sonne of Kareah, and all the captaines of the hoste, that were with him, they were glad.
Cumque vidisset omnis populus, qui erat cum Ismahel, Iohanan filium Caree, et universos principes bellatorum, qui erant cum eo, lætati sunt.
14 So all the people, that Ishmael had caryed away captiue from Mizpah, returned and came againe, and went vnto Iohanan the sonne of Kareah.
Et reversus est omnis populus, quem ceperat Ismahel, in Masphath: reversusque abiit ad Iohanan filium Caree.
15 But Ishmael the sonne of Nethaniah, escaped from Iohanan with eight men, and went to the Ammonites.
Ismahel autem filius Nathaniæ fugit cum octo viris a facie Iohanan, et abiit ad filios Ammon.
16 Then tooke Iohanan the sonne of Kareah, and all the captaines of the hoste that were with him, all the remnant of the people, whom Ishmael the sonne of Nethaniah had caried away captiue from Mizpah, (after that he had slaine Gedaliah the sonne of Ahikam) euen the strong men of warre, and the women, and the children, and the eunuches, whom hee had brought againe from Gibeon:
Tulit ergo Iohanan filius Caree, et omnes principes bellatorum, qui erant cum eo, universas reliquias vulgi, quas reduxerat ab Ismahel filio Nathaniæ de Masphath, postquam percussit Godoliam filium Ahicam: fortes viros ad prælium, et mulieres, et pueros, et eunuchos, quos reduxerat de Gabaon.
17 And they departed and dwelt in Geruth Chimham, which is by Beth-lehem, to goe and to enter into Egypt,
Et abierunt, et sederunt peregrinantes in Chamaam, quæ est iuxta Bethlehem, ut pergerent, et introirent Ægyptum
18 Because of the Caldeans: for they feared them, because Ishmael ye sonne of Nethaniah had slaine Gedaliah the sonne of Ahikam, whom the King of Babel made gouernour in the land.
a facie Chaldæorum: timebant enim eos, quia percusserat Ismahel filius Nathaniæ Godoliam filium Ahicam, quem præposuerat rex Babylonis in Terra Iuda.
