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.
Le ɣleti adrelia me la, Ismael, Netania ƒe vi, Elisama ƒe vi, ame si tso fiaƒome me, eye wònye fia ƒe dɔnunɔlawo dometɔ ɖeka la va Gedalia, Ahikam ƒe vi gbɔ le Mizpa kple ŋutsu ewo. Esi wole nu ɖum le kplɔ̃ ŋuti ɖekae la,
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.
Netania ƒe vi, Ismael kple ŋutsu ewo siwo le eŋuti la tsi tsitre, eye wotsɔ yi ƒo ɖe Gedalia, Ahikam ƒe vi, Safan ƒe vi eye wowu ame si Babilonia fia tsɔ ɖo mɔmefiae ɖe anyigba la dzi.
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.
Ismael wu Yudatɔ siwo ƒo ƒu ɖe Gedalia gbɔ le Mizpa la hã, hekpe ɖe Babiloniasrafo siwo le afi ma la ŋuti.
4 And it came to pass the second day after he had slain Gedaliah, and no man knew it,
Gbe si gbe wowu Gedalia ƒe fɔŋli, hafi ame aɖe nase nu si dzɔ la,
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.
ŋutsu blaenyi siwo lũ ge, dze awu le wo ɖokuiwo ŋu eye wode abi wo ɖokuiwo ŋu la, tso Sekem, Silo kple Samaria va eye wotsɔ nuɖuvɔsa kple dzudzɔʋeʋĩdonuwo ɖe asi va Yehowa ƒe gbedoxɔ mee.
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.'
Ismael, Netania ƒe vi, tso le Mizpa kple avi hehehe yina wo kpe ge. Esi wòdo go wo la, egblɔ na wo be, “Miva Gedalia, Ahikam vi la gbɔ.”
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.
Esi woge ɖe dua me la, Ismael, Netania ƒe vi kple ŋutsu siwo kpe ɖe eŋu la lé wo, tso ta le wo nu eye wotsɔ woƒe kukuawo ƒu gbe ɖe vudo me.
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.
Ke wo dometɔ ewo gblɔ na Ismael be, “Mègawu mí o! Bli, lu, ami kple anyitsi le mía si míeɣla ɖe gbe me.” Ale mewu woawo kpe ɖe ame mamlɛawo ŋu o.
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.
Ke vudo si me wòtsɔ ame siwo wòwu kpe ɖe Gedalia ŋu ƒe kukuawo ƒu gbe ɖo lae nye esi Fia Asa ɖe be yeatsɔ axe mɔ na Israel fia Baasa. Ke Netania ƒe vi, Ismael yɔe fũu kple ŋutilã kukuwo.
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.
Emegbe Ismael kplɔ dukɔ la ƒe ame mamlɛ siwo le Mizpa, fiavinyɔnuwo hekpe ɖe ame siwo katã susɔ ɖe afi ma ŋu, ame siwo nu aʋafia Nebuzaradan tsɔ Ahikam ƒe vi ɖo mɔmefiae la dzoe abe aʋaléleawo ene. Ismael, Netania ƒe vi la, kplɔ wo aboyomewoe eye wòɖo ta Amonitɔwo gbɔ kpli wo.
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,
Ke esi Karea ƒe vi, Yohanan kple asrafomegã siwo le egbɔ la se hlɔ̃donu siwo katã Netania ƒe vi, Ismael wɔ la,
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.
wokplɔ woƒe aʋakɔ la katã be woayi aɖawɔ aʋa kple Netania ƒe vi Ismael. Wova tui le tɔ gã si le Gibeon la to.
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.
Esi ameha siwo katã le Ismael ŋu kpɔ Karea ƒe vi, Yohanan kple asrafomegã siwo kplɔe ɖo la, dzi dzɔ wo ale gbegbe.
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.
Ame siwo katã Ismael ɖe aboyoe le Mizpa la trɔ le eyome eye woyi ɖe Yohanan, Karea ƒe vi la gbɔ.
15 But Ishmael the son of Nethaniah escaped from Johanan with eight men, and went to the children of Ammon.
Gake Netania ƒe vi, Ismael kple eŋutime enyi dze agbagba si le Yohanan nu yi ɖe Amonitɔwo gbɔ.
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;
Azɔ la, Yohanan, Karea ƒe vi kple asrafomegã siwo katã le eŋu la kplɔ dukɔ la ƒe ame siwo susɔ ɖe Mizpa, ame siwo woxɔ le Ismael, Netania ƒe vi la si, esi wòwu Ahikam vi, Gedalia la dzoe. Ameawoe nye: asrafowo, nyɔnuwo, ɖeviwo kple fiasãmedɔwɔla siwo wòkplɔ tso Gibeon.
17 and they departed, and dwelt in Geruth Chimham, which is by Beth-lehem, to go to enter into Egypt,
Wodze mɔ le yiyim eye wova tɔ ɖe Gerut Kimham si te ɖe Betlehem ŋu, esi wole mɔ dzi yina ɖe Egipte
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.
ne woasi le Babiloniatɔwo nu. Wole vɔvɔ̃m na wo elabena Netania ƒe vi, Ismael wu Ahikam ƒe vi, Gedalia, ame si Babilonia fia tsɔ ɖo mɔmefiae ɖe anyigba la dzi.
