Jeremiah 41
1 Now it came to pass in the seventh month, that Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, the son of Elishama, of the seed royal, and one of the chief officers of the king, and ten men with him, came unto Gedaliah the son of Ahikam to Mizpah; and there they did eat bread together in Mizpah.
A hla rhih dongla a pha vaengah mangpa tiingan lamkah Elishama koca, Nethaniah capa Ishmael neh manghai kah mangpa rhoek neh a taengkah hlang parha he, Mizpah kah Ahikam capa Gedaliah taengla ha pawk tih Mizpah ah thikat la buh pahoi a caak uh.
2 Then arose Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, and the ten men that were with him, and smote Gedaliah the son of Ahikam the son of Shaphan with the sword, and slew him, whom the king of Babylon had made governor over the land.
Te phoeiah Nethaniah capa Ishmael neh a taengkah aka om hlang parha te thoo uh tih Shaphan koca Ahikam capa Gedaliah te cunghang neh a tloek uh tih amah la a duek sak uh. Anih ni Babylon manghai loh khohmuen kah ham a khueh dae.
3 Ishmael also slew all the Jews that were with him, even with Gedaliah, at Mizpah, and the Chaldeans that were found there, even the men of war.
Mizpah kah Gedaliah taengah aka om Judah boeih neh Khalden kah caemtloek hlang a hmuh rhoek te tah Ishmael loh a ngawn.
4 And it came to pass the second day after he had slain Gedaliah, and no man knew it,
Gedaliah a duek te khohnin pabae dongla a pha duela hlang loh a ming moenih.
5 that there came certain men from Shechem, from Shiloh, and from Samaria, even fourscore men, having their beards shaven and their clothes rent, and having cut themselves, with meal-offerings and frankincense in their hand to bring them to the house of the LORD.
Te dongah Shekhem lamkah, Shiloh lamkah, Samaria lamkah khaw hlang rhoek te ha pawk uh. Hlang sawmrhet loh hmuimul a vok tih himbai pawn neh a saa a hlap doela a kut dongkah khocang neh hmueihtui te BOEIPA im la a khuen uh.
6 And Ishmael the son of Nethaniah went forth from Mizpah to meet them, weeping all along as he went; and it came to pass, as he met them, he said unto them: 'Come to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam.'
Amih aka doe la Nethaniah capa Ishmael te Mizpah lamloh cet. A caeh a caeh vaengah tah aka rhap khaw ana om tih amih te a hum uh vaengah tah amih te, “Ahikam capa Gedaliah taengla ha mop uh laeh,” a ti nah.
7 And it was so, when they came into the midst of the city, that Ishmael the son of Nethaniah slew them, and cast them into the midst of the pit, he, and the men that were with him.
Amih te khopuei khui la a pawk vaengah tah Nethaniah capa Ishmael neh a taengkah hlang rhoek loh tangrhom khui la a ngawn uh.
8 But ten men were found among them that said unto Ishmael: 'Slay us not; for we have stores hidden in the field, of wheat, and of barley, and of oil, and of honey.' So he forbore, and slew them not among their brethren.
Tedae amih khuikah hlang parha loh a hmuh vaengah Ishmael te, “Kaimih he n'duek sak boeh, kamamih taengah khohmuen kah kawn la cang neh cangtun khaw, situi neh khoitui khaw om pueng,” a ti na uh. Te dongah a toeng tih a manuca lakli ah amih te duek sak pawh.
9 Now the pit wherein Ishmael cast all the dead bodies of the men whom he had slain by the side of Gedaliah was that which Asa the king had made for fear of Baasa king of Israel; the same Ishmael the son of Nethaniah filled with them that were slain.
Gedaliah kut dongkah a ngawn hlang rhok boeih te Ishmael loh tangrhom khuila pahoi a voeih. Tekah te Israel manghai Baasha maelhmai kongah ni manghai Asa loh a saii dae Nethaniah capa Ishmael loh rhok a hah sak.
10 Then Ishmael carried away captive all the residue of the people that were in Mizpah, even the king's daughters, and all the people that remained in Mizpah, whom Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard had committed to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam; Ishmael the son of Nethaniah carried them away captive, and departed to go over to the children of Ammon.
Mizpah kah pilnam a meet boeih, imtawt boeiping Nebuzaradan loh Ahikam capa Gedaliah a hip sak manghai canu rhoek khaw, Mizpah ah aka sueng pilnam boeih khaw Ishmael loh a sol. Amih te a sol phoeiah Nethaniah capa Ishmael te cet tih Ammon koca rhoek te a paan.
11 But when Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces that were with him, heard of all the evil that Ishmael the son of Nethaniah had done,
Nethaniah capa Ishmael loh boethae a saii boeih te Kareah capa Johanan neh a taengkah caem mangpa rhoek loh boeih a yaak.
12 then they took all the men, and went to fight with Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, and found him by the great waters that are in Gibeon.
Te dongah hlang te boeih a khuen tih Nethaniah capa Ishmael vathoh thil hamla cet uh. Te vaengah anih te Gibeon kah tui puei taengah a hmuh uh.
13 Now it came to pass, that when all the people that were with Ishmael saw Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces that were with him, then they were glad.
Ishmael taengkah pilnam boeih loh Kareah capa Johanan neh a taengkah caem mangpa boeih te a hmuh uh vaengah a kohoe uh.
14 So all the people that Ishmael had carried away captive from Mizpah cast about and returned, and went unto Johanan the son of Kareah.
Mizpah ah Ishmael kah a sol pilnam khaw boeih cet uh. Tedae a mael uh vaengah tah Kareah capa Johanan taengla mael uh.
15 But Ishmael the son of Nethaniah escaped from Johanan with eight men, and went to the children of Ammon.
Te vaengah Nethaniah capa Ishmael tah hlang parhet neh Johanan mikhmuh lamloh vi uh tih Ammon koca rhoek taengla cet.
16 Then took Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces that were with him, all the remnant of the people whom he had recovered from Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, from Mizpah, after that he had slain Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, the men, even the men of war, and the women, and the children, and the officers, whom he had brought back from Gibeon;
Kareah capa Johanan neh amah taengkah caem mangpa boeih loh Nethaniah capa Ishmael taengkah pilnam a meet boeih te Mizpah lamkah a loh. Ahikam capa Gedaliah a ngawn phoeiah tah hlang he caemtloek tongpa rhoek khaw, huta camoe khaw, imkhoem rhoek khaw Gibeon lamloh a mael puei.
17 and they departed, and dwelt in Geruth Chimham, which is by Beth-lehem, to go to enter into Egypt,
A caeh uh vaengah Egypt la aka pawk te paan ham Bethlehem kaep Khimham kah Khimham imhmuen ah kho a sak uh.
18 because of the Chaldeans; for they were afraid of them, because Ishmael the son of Nethaniah had slain Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, whom the king of Babylon made governor over the land.
Babylon manghai loh khohmuen a hung sak Ahikam capa Gedaliah te Nethaniah capa Ishmael loh a ngawn dongah a mikhmuh kah Khalden rhoek te khaw a rhih uh.
