< 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.
Nan setyèm mwa a, Izmayèl, pitit Netanya, pitit pitit Elichama, rive Mispa ansanm ak dis lòt moun pou li vin wè Gedalya, pitit Akikam. Izmayèl te yon ti fanmi wa a. Se te yon gwo chèf nan gouvènman wa a. Pandan yo chita konsa sou tab ap manje lakay Gedalya,
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.
Izmayèl leve ansanm ak dis moun li yo, yo rale nepe yo, yo touye Gedalya, nonm wa Babilòn lan te mete pou gouvènen peyi a.
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.
Apre sa, yo touye tout gason jwif ki te lavil Mispa avèk Gedalya. Yo touye tout sòlda moun Babilòn ki te la tou.
4 And it came to pass the second day after he had slain Gedaliah, and no man knew it,
Yo te fin ansasinen Gedalya a depi de jou, nouvèl la pa t' ankò gaye.
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.
Se konsa katreven gason ki te soti lavil Sichèm, lavil Silo ak lavil Samari vin rive. Yo te koupe tout bab nan figi yo, yo te gen rad chire sou yo, tout kò yo te plen mak kouto. Yo te pote grenn jaden ak lansan pou ofri nan tanp Jerizalèm lan.
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.'
Izmayèl kite Mispa, li soti al kontre yo, de ran dlo nan je l'. Lè li rive sou yo li di konsa: -Vini non, ann al kay Gedalya!
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.
Men rive yo rive nan mitan lavil Mispa, Izmayèl ansanm ak mesye l' yo touye yo, lèfini yo lage kadav yo nan yon sitèn.
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.
Men gen dis nan moun sa yo ki te di Izmayèl konsa: -Pa touye nou paske nou gen pwovizyon kache nan jaden nou yo, ble, lòj, lwil ak siwo myèl. Se konsa Izmayèl pa t' touye sa yo ansanm ak lòt yo.
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.
Sitèn kote Izmayèl te jete kadav moun li te touye yo, se gwo sitèn wa Asa te fè fouye lè Basa, wa peyi Izrayèl la, te vin atake l' la. Se sitèn sa a Izmayèl te plen ak kadav yo.
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.
Apre sa, Izmayèl mache pran tout pitit fi wa a ansanm ak tout rès moun ki te lavil Mispa, moun Neboucharadan, chèf lagad la, te kite sou kont Gedalya. Li fè yo prizonye. Li pati ak yo, li pran direksyon peyi moun Amon yo.
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,
Jokanan, pitit Karejak la, ansanm ak lòt chèf lame ki te avè l' yo vin konnen tout mechanste Izmayèl, pitit Netanya a, te fè.
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.
Yo pran tout sòlda yo, yo pati dèyè l'. Yo jwenn li bò gwo letan Gabawon an.
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.
Lè moun Izmayèl te fè prizonye yo wè Jokanan avèk chèf lame ki avè l' yo, yo te kontan.
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.
Lè sa a, tout moun Izmayèl te fè prizonye lavil Mispa yo kase tèt tounen, yo kouri vin jwenn Jokanan.
15 But Ishmael the son of Nethaniah escaped from Johanan with eight men, and went to the children of Ammon.
Izmayèl menm ansanm ak wit nan moun pa l' yo kouri pou Jokanan, yo chape kò yo nan peyi Amon an.
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;
Apre sa, Jokanan ak chèf lame ki te avè l' yo pran sou kont yo tout moun Izmayèl te fè prizonye lavil Mispa apre li menm Izmayèl te fin touye Gedalya a. Jokanan pran avè l' gason yo, ki vle di sòlda yo, fanm yo, timoun yo, moun konfyans yo, tout moun li te jwenn lavil Gabawon.
17 and they departed, and dwelt in Geruth Chimham, which is by Beth-lehem, to go to enter into Egypt,
Yo fè yon ti rete nan lotèl Kimean an, toupre lavil Betleyèm. Yo te fè lide desann peyi Lejip
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.
paske yo te pè moun Babilòn yo, depi Izmayèl te fin touye Gedalya, moun wa Babilòn lan te mete pou gouvènen peyi a.
