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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 on the second day after he had put Gedalyahu to death, while no man knew of 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, 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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:
Ke esi Karea ƒe vi, Yohanan kple asrafomegã siwo le egbɔ la se hlɔ̃donu siwo katã Netania ƒe vi, Ismael wɔ la,
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.
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 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.
Esi ameha siwo katã le Ismael ŋu kpɔ Karea ƒe vi, Yohanan kple asrafomegã siwo kplɔe ɖo la, dzi dzɔ wo ale gbegbe.
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.
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 Nethanyah escaped with eight men from the presence of Jochanan, and he 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 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;
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 went, and remained in Geruth-Kimham, which is by Beth-lechem, 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 Nethanyah had slain Gedalyahu the son of Achikam, whom the king of Babylon had appointed 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.
