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.
Et factum est in mense septimo, venit Ismahel filius Nathaniæ, filii Elisama de semine regali, et optimates regis, et decem viri cum eo, ad Godoliam filium Ahicam in Masphath: et comederunt ibi panes simul in Masphath.
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.
Surrexit autem Ismahel filius Nathaniæ, et decem viri, qui cum eo erant, et percusserunt Godoliam filium Ahicam filii Saphan gladio, et interfecerunt eum, quem præfecerat rex Babylonis terræ.
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.
Omnes quoque Iudæos, qui erant cum Godolia in Masphath, et Chaldæos, qui reperti sunt ibi, et viros bellatores percussit Ismahel.
4 And it came to pass on the second day after he had put Gedalyahu to death, while no man knew of it,
Secundo autem die postquam occiderat Godoliam, nullo adhuc sciente,
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.
venerunt viri de Sichem, et de Silo, et de Samaria octoginta viri: rasi barba, et scissis vestibus, et squallentes: et munera, et thus habebant in manu, ut offerrent in domo Domini.
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.
Egressus ergo Ismahel filius Nathaniæ in occursum eorum de Masphath, incedens et plorans ibat: cum autem occurrisset eis, dixit ad eos: Venite ad Godoliam filium Ahicam.
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.
Qui cum venissent ad medium civitatis, interfecit eos Ismahel filius Nathaniæ circa medium laci, ipse et viri, qui erant cum eo.
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.
Decem autem viri reperti sunt inter eos, qui dixerunt ad Ismahel: Noli occidere nos: quia habemus thesauros in agro, frumenti, et hordei, et olei, et mellis. Et cessavit: et non interfecit eos cum fratribus suis.
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.
Lacus autem, in quem proiecerat Ismahel omnia cadavera virorum, quos percussit propter Godoliam, ipse est, quem fecit rex Asa propter Baasa regem Israel: ipsum replevit Ismahel filius Nathaniæ occisis.
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.
Et captivas duxit Ismahel omnes reliquias populi, qui erant in Masphath: filias regis, et universum populum, qui remanserat in Masphath: quos commendaverat Nabuzardan princeps militiæ Godoliæ filio Ahicam. Et cepit eos Ismahel filius Nathaniæ, et abiit ut transiret ad filios Ammon.
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:
Audivit autem Iohanan filius Caree, et omnes principes bellatorum, qui erant cum eo, omne malum, quod fecerat Ismahel filius Nathaniæ.
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.
Et assumptis universis viris, profecti sunt ut bellarent adversum Ismahel filium Nathaniæ, et invenerunt eum ad aquas multas, quæ sunt in Gabaon.
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.
Cumque vidisset omnis populus, qui erat cum Ismahel, Iohanan filium Caree, et universos principes bellatorum, qui erant cum eo, lætati sunt.
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.
Et reversus est omnis populus, quem ceperat Ismahel, in Masphath: reversusque abiit ad Iohanan filium Caree.
15 But Ishmael the son of Nethanyah escaped with eight men from the presence of Jochanan, and he went to the children of 'Ammon.
Ismahel autem filius Nathaniæ fugit cum octo viris a facie Iohanan, et abiit ad filios Ammon.
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;
Tulit ergo Iohanan filius Caree, et omnes principes bellatorum, qui erant cum eo, universas reliquias vulgi, quas reduxerat ab Ismahel filio Nathaniæ de Masphath, postquam percussit Godoliam filium Ahicam: fortes viros ad prælium, et mulieres, et pueros, et eunuchos, quos reduxerat de Gabaon.
17 And they went, and remained in Geruth-Kimham, which is by Beth-lechem, to go to enter into Egypt,
Et abierunt, et sederunt peregrinantes in Chamaam, quæ est iuxta Bethlehem, ut pergerent, et introirent Ægyptum
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.
a facie Chaldæorum: timebant enim eos, quia percusserat Ismahel filius Nathaniæ Godoliam filium Ahicam, quem præposuerat rex Babylonis in Terra Iuda.
