< Jeremiah 41 >

1 Now it came to pass in the seventh month, that Ishmael the son of Nethanyah the son of Elishama', of the royal seed, and the chiefs of the king, even ten men with him, came unto Gedalyahu the son of Achikam to Mizpah; and they ate there bread together in Mizpah.
七月间,王的大臣宗室以利沙玛的孙子、尼探雅的儿子以实玛利带着十个人,来到米斯巴见亚希甘的儿子基大利。他们在米斯巴一同吃饭。
2 Then arose Ishmael the son of Nethanyah, and the ten men that were with him, and smote Gedalyahu the son of Achikam the son of Shaphan with the sword, and put to death him, whom the king of Babylon had appointed governor over the land.
尼探雅的儿子以实玛利和同他来的那十个人起来,用刀杀了沙番的孙子亚希甘的儿子基大利,就是巴比伦王所立为全地省长的。
3 And all the Jews that were with him, even with Gedalyahu, at Mizpah, and the Chaldeans that were found there, even the men of war, did Ishmael slay.
以实玛利又杀了在米斯巴、基大利那里的一切犹大人和所遇见的迦勒底兵丁。
4 And it came to pass on the second day after he had put Gedalyahu to death, while no man knew of it,
他杀了基大利,无人知道。
5 That there came certain men from Shechem, from Shiloh, and from Samaria, eighty men [in all], having their beards shaven, and their clothes rent, and having cut themselves, with meat-offerings and frankincense in their hand, to bring the same to the house of the Lord.
第二天,有八十人从示剑和示罗,并撒马利亚来,胡须剃去,衣服撕裂,身体划破,手拿素祭和乳香,要奉到耶和华的殿。
6 And Ishmael the son of Nethanyah went forth from Mizpah to meet them, going along and weeping: and it came to pass as he met them, that he said unto them, Come to Gedalyahu the son of Achikam.
尼探雅的儿子以实玛利出米斯巴迎接他们,随走随哭;遇见了他们,就对他们说:“你们可以来见亚希甘的儿子基大利。”
7 And it happened, as they entered into the midst of the city, that Ishmael the son of Nethanyah slaughtered them, [and cast them] into the midst of the cistern, he, and the men that were with him.
他们到了城中,尼探雅的儿子以实玛利和同着他的人就将他们杀了,抛在坑中。
8 But ten men were found among them that said unto Ishmael, Slay us not; for we have some things hidden in the field, [such as] wheat, and barley, and oil, and honey. So he forbore, and slew them not in the midst of their brethren.
只是他们中间有十个人对以实玛利说:“不要杀我们,因为我们有许多大麦、小麦、油、蜜藏在田间。”于是他住了手,没有将他们杀在弟兄中间。
9 And the cistern wherein Ishmael cast all the corpses of the men, whom he had slain in company with Gedalyahu, is the same which king Assa had made on account of Ba'sha the king of Israel: this did Ishmael the son of Nethanyah fill with slain persons.
以实玛利将所杀之人的尸首都抛在坑里基大利的旁边;这坑是从前亚撒王因怕以色列王巴沙所挖的。尼探雅的儿子以实玛利将那些被杀的人填满了坑。
10 Then did Ishmael carry away captive all the residue of the people that were in Mizpah, the king's daughters, and all the people that were remaining in Mizpah, whom Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard had entrusted to Gedalyahu the son of Achikam: and Ishmael the son of Nethanyah carried them away captive, and went off to pass over to the children of Ammon.
以实玛利将米斯巴剩下的人,就是众公主和仍住在米斯巴所有的百姓,原是护卫长尼布撒拉旦交给亚希甘的儿子基大利的,都掳去了。尼探雅的儿子以实玛利掳了他们,要往亚扪人那里去。
11 But when Jochanan the son of Kareach, and all the captains of the armies that were with him, heard of all the evil that Ishmael the son of Nethanyah had done:
加利亚的儿子约哈难和同着他的众军长听见尼探雅的儿子以实玛利所行的一切恶,
12 Then did they take all the men, and went to fight with Ishmael the son of Nethanyah, and found him by the great water[-pool] that is near Gib'on.
就带领众人前往,要和尼探雅的儿子以实玛利争战,在基遍的大水旁遇见他。
13 And it came to pass, when all the people who were with Ishmael saw Jochanan the son of Kareach, and all the captains of the armies that were with him, that they were rejoiced.
以实玛利那里的众人看见加利亚的儿子约哈难和同着他的众军长,就都欢喜。
14 And all the people that Ishmael had carried away captive from Mizpah turned about and returned, and went unto Jochanan the son of Kareach.
这样,以实玛利从米斯巴所掳去的众人都转身归加利亚的儿子约哈难去了。
15 But Ishmael the son of Nethanyah escaped with eight men from the presence of Jochanan, and he went to the children of 'Ammon.
尼探雅的儿子以实玛利和八个人脱离约哈难的手,逃往亚扪人那里去了。
16 Then took Jochanan the son of Kareach, and all the captains of the armies that were with him, all the remnant of the people whom he had recovered from Ishmael the son of Nethanyah, from Mizpah, after he had slain Gedalyah the son of Achikam, the adult males, the men of war, and the women, and the children, and the eunuchs, whom he had brought back from Gib'on;
尼探雅的儿子以实玛利杀了亚希甘的儿子基大利,从米斯巴将剩下的一切百姓、兵丁、妇女、孩童、太监掳到基遍之后,加利亚的儿子约哈难和同着他的众军长将他们都夺回来,
17 And they went, and remained in Geruth-Kimham, which is by Beth-lechem, to go to enter into Egypt,
带到靠近伯利恒的金罕寓住下,要进入埃及去;
18 Because of the Chaldeans; for they were afraid of them; because Ishmael the son of Nethanyah had slain Gedalyahu the son of Achikam, whom the king of Babylon had appointed governor over the land.
因为尼探雅的儿子以实玛利杀了巴比伦王所立为省长的亚希甘的儿子基大利,约哈难惧怕迦勒底人。
