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 the princes of the king, even ten men with him, came unto Gedaliah the son of Ahikam to Mizpah; and there they did eat bread together in Mizpah.

Naʻe hoko ʻo pehē ʻi hono fitu māhina, naʻe haʻu ʻa ʻIsimeʻeli ko e foha ʻo Natania ko e foha ʻo ʻIlisama, ko e hako ʻoe hau, pea mo e houʻeiki ʻoe tuʻi, ʻaia mo e kau tangata ʻe toko hongofulu mo ia, kia Ketalia ko e foha ʻo ʻAhikami ki Misipa; pea naʻa nau kai mā fakataha ʻi Misipa.

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.

Pea tuʻu hake ʻa ʻIsimeʻeli ko e foha ʻo Natania, mo e kau tangata ʻe toko hongofulu naʻe ʻiate ia, pea nau taaʻi aki ʻae heletā ʻa Ketalia ko e foha ʻo ʻAhikami ko e foha ʻo Safani, pea tāmateʻi ia, ʻaia naʻe fakanofo ʻe he tuʻi ʻo Papilone ke pule ki he fonua.

3 Ishmael also slew all the Jews that were with him, even with Gedaliah, at Mizpah, and the Chaldeans that were found there, and the men of war.

Pea naʻe tāmateʻi foki ʻe ʻIsimeʻeli ʻae kau Siu kotoa pē naʻe ʻiate ia, ʻaia naʻe ia Ketalia, ʻi Misipa, pea mo e kau Kalitia naʻe ʻi ai, pea mo e kautau.

4 And it came to pass the second day after he had slain Gedaliah, and no man knew it,

Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē ʻi hono ua ʻoe ʻaho ʻi he hili ʻae tāmateʻi ʻo Ketalia, ʻi he teʻeki ke ʻilo ia ʻe ha tokotaha,

5 That there came certain from Shechem, from Shiloh, and from Samaria, even fourscore men, having their beards shaven, and their clothes rent, and having cut themselves, with offerings and incense in their hand, to bring them to the house of Yhwh.

Naʻe haʻu ʻae kau tangata mei Sikemi, pea mei Sailo, pea mei Samelia, ko e toko valungofulu kuo tele honau kava, pea kuo mahaehae honau kofu, pea foa ʻakinautolu, pea naʻe ʻi honau nima ʻae feilaulau mo e meʻa namu kakala, ke ʻomi ki he fale ʻo Sihova.

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.

Pea naʻe ʻalu atu ʻa ʻIsimeʻeli ko e foha ʻo Natania mei Misipa ke fakafetaulaki mo kinautolu, pea naʻe tangi maʻu pe ia ʻi heʻene ʻalu: pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē ʻi heʻene fetaulaki mo kinautolu naʻa ne pehē kiate kinautolu, “Mou omi kia Ketalia ko e foha ʻAhikami,”

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.

Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē ʻi heʻenau haʻu ki loto kolo, naʻe tāmateʻi ʻakinautolu ʻo lī ki he luo, ʻe ʻIsimeʻeli ko e foha ʻo Natania, ko ia, mo e kau tangata naʻe ʻiate ia.

8 But ten men were found among them that said unto Ishmael, Slay us not: for we have treasures in the field, of wheat, and of barley, and of oil, and of honey. So he forbare, and slew them not among their brethren.

Ka naʻe ʻiate kinautolu ʻae kau tangata ʻe toko hongofulu, naʻe lea kia ʻIsimeʻeli, ʻo pehē, “ʻOua naʻa ke tāmateʻi ʻakimautolu he ʻoku ʻiate kimautolu ʻae ngaahi koloa kuo fakafufū ʻi he ngaahi ngoue, ko e uite, mo e paʻale, mo e lolo, pea mo e meʻa huʻamelie.” Ko ia naʻa ne tafoki, pea naʻe ʻikai tāmateʻi ʻakinautolu mo honau kāinga.

9 Now the pit wherein Ishmael had cast all the dead bodies of the men, whom he had slain because of Gedaliah, was it which Asa the king had made for fear of Baasha king of Israel: and Ishmael the son of Nethaniah filled it with them that were slain.

Pea ko e luo, ʻaia naʻe lī ki ai ʻe ʻIsimeʻeli ʻae ʻangaʻanga ʻoe kau tangata, naʻa ne tāmateʻi fakataha mo Ketalia, ko ia pe naʻe ngaohi ʻe he tuʻi ko ʻAsa, ko ʻene manavahē kia Paʻasa ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli; pea ko ia, naʻe fakapito aki ia ʻae kakai kuo tāmateʻi, ʻe ʻIsimeʻeli ko e foha ʻo Natania.

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 Nebuzar–adan the captain of the guard had committed to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam: and Ishmael the son of Nethaniah carried them away captive, and departed to go over to the Ammonites.

Pea naʻe fakapōpula ʻe ʻIsimeʻeli ʻae toenga kakai kotoa pē naʻe ʻi Misipa, ʻae ʻofefine ʻoe tuʻi, pea mo e kakai kotoa pē naʻe toe ʻi Misipa, ʻakinautolu naʻe fakanofo ʻe Nepusaatani ko e ʻeiki ʻoe kau tau ke pule ki ai ʻa Ketalia, ko e foha ʻo ʻAhikami: pea naʻe ʻave fakapōpula ʻakinautolu ʻe ʻIsimeʻeli ko e foha ʻo Natania, pea naʻe ʻalu atu ia ki he kau ʻAmoni.

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,

Pea kuo fanongo ʻa Sohanani, ko e foha ʻo Kalia, pea mo e houʻeikitau kotoa pē naʻe ʻiate ia, ki he kovi kotoa pē kuo fai ʻe ʻIsimeʻeli ko e foha ʻo Natania,

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.

Naʻa nau ʻave ʻae kau tangata kotoa pē, ʻonau ō ke tauʻi ʻa ʻIsimeʻeli ko e foha ʻo Natania, pea naʻe ʻilo ia ʻi he kauvai lahi ʻaia ʻoku ʻi Kipione.

13 Now it came to pass, that when all the people which were with Ishmael saw Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces that were with him, then they were glad.

Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻi he mamata ʻe he kakai kotoa pē naʻe ʻia ʻIsimeʻeli ʻa Sohanani ko e foha ʻo Kalia, pea mo e houʻeikitau kotoa pē naʻe ʻiate ia, naʻa nau fiefia.

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.

Pea ko e kakai kotoa pē naʻe ʻave fakapōpula ʻe ʻIsimeʻeli mei Misipa, naʻa nau tafoki mai ʻo toe haʻu kia Sohanani ko e foha ʻo Kalia.

15 But Ishmael the son of Nethaniah escaped from Johanan with eight men, and went to the Ammonites.

Ka naʻe hola meia Sohanani ʻa ʻIsimeʻeli ko e foha ʻo Natania mo e kau tangata ʻe toko valu, ʻo ʻalu ki he kau ʻAmoni.

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, even mighty men of war, and the women, and the children, and the eunuchs, whom he had brought again from Gibeon:

Pea hili hono tāmateʻi ʻa Ketalia ko e foha ʻo ʻAhikami, naʻe toki ʻave ʻe Sopanani ko e foha ʻo Kalia, ʻae houʻeikitau kotoa pē naʻe ʻiate ia, pea mo e toenga kakai kotoa pē ʻaia naʻe toe maʻu meia ʻIsimeʻeli ko e foha ʻo Natania, mei Misipa, ko e kau tau mālohi, mo e kau fefine, mo e fānau, pea mo e kau tangata talifekau ʻaia kuo toe omi mei Kipione:

17 And they departed, and dwelt in the habitation of Chimham, which is by Beth–lehem, to go to enter into Egypt,

Pea naʻa nau ʻalu, ʻo nofo ʻi he potu ʻo Kimami, ʻaia ʻoku ofi ki Petelihema, koeʻuhi ke ʻalu ki ʻIsipite,

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 in the land.

Koeʻuhi ko e kau Kalitia: he naʻa nau manavahē kiate kinautolu, koeʻuhi kuo tāmateʻi ʻe ʻIsimeʻeli ko e foha ʻo Natania ʻa Ketalia ko e foha ʻo ʻAhikami, ʻaia kuo fakanofo ʻe he tuʻi ʻo Papilone ke pule ʻi he fonua.
