< 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.
Na i te whitu o nga marama ka haere mai a Ihimaera tama a Netania, tama a Erihama, he uri kingi, ko ia tetahi o nga tino rangatira a te kingi, me ona hoa kotahi tekau, ki a Keraria tama a Ahikama, ki Mihipa; na kei te kai taro ratou tahi ki reira, ki Mihipa.
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.
Katahi ka whakatika ake a Ihimaera tama a Netania, ratou ko ona hoa kotahi tekau, a patua ana a Keraria tama a Ahikama, tama a Hapana ki te hoari, mate rawa, a ia i meinga nei e te kingi o Papurona hei kawana mo te whenua.
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.
Na i patua ano e Ihimaera nga Hurai katoa i a ia, i a Keraria, i Mihipa, ratou ko nga Karari i kitea ki reira, ara nga tangata whawhai.
4 And it came to pass on the second day after he had put Gedalyahu to death, while no man knew of it,
Na i te rua o nga ra i muri i tana whakamatenga i a Keraria, a kihai i mohiotia e tetahi tangata,
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.
Ka haere mai etahi tangata i Hekeme, i Hiro, i Hamaria, e waru tekau nga tangata, heu rawa o ratou pahau, haehae rawa nga kakahu, he mea haehae ano hoki ratou, me nga whakahere, me te whakakakara ano i o ratou ringa hei tapaenga ki te whare o Iho wa.
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.
Na ka haere atu a Ihimaera tama a Netania i roto i Mihipa ki te whakatau i a ratou, me te tangi haere ano i a ia e haere ana: a, i tona tutakitanga ki a ratou, ka mea ia ki a ratou, Haere mai ki a Keraria tama a Ahikama.
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.
Heoi, i to ratou taenga ki roto ki te pa, ka patua ratou e Ihimaera tama a Netania, a maka ana e ratou ko ona hoa ki roto ki te poka.
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.
Otiia tera ano etahi kotahi tekau i kitea i roto i a ratou, i ki atu ki a Ihimaera, Kaua matou e whakamatea; he taonga hoki a matou kei te parae, he witi, he parei, he hinu, he honi, kei te huna. Na ka mutu tana, a kihai ratou i whakamatea e ia i roto i o ratou teina.
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.
Na, ko te poka i maka ai e Ihimaera nga tinana katoa o nga tangata i patua nei e ia ki te taha o Keraria, ko tera i hanga e Kingi Aha i te wehi ki a Paaha, kingi o Iharaira, whakakiia ana taua poka e Ihimaera tama a Netania ki te hunga i patua.
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.
Katahi ka whakaraua e Ihimaera nga morehu katoa o te iwi i Mihipa, nga tamahine a te kingi, me nga morehu katoa i Mihipa, ko te hunga i meinga nei e Neputaarana rangatira o nga kaitiaki, a Keraria tama a Ahikama hei kawana mo ratou; whakaraua an a ratou e Ihimaera tama a Netania, a haere ana ia, whiti ana ki nga tama a Amona.
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:
I te rongonga ia o Hohanana tama a Karea, ratou ko nga rangatira katoa o nga ope i a ia, ki te kino katoa i mahia e Ihimaera tama a Netania,
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.
Katahi ka tango ratou i nga tangata katoa, a haere ana ki te whawhai ki a Ihimaera tama a Netania, a rokohanga atu ia i te taha o nga wai nunui i Kipeono.
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.
A, no te kitenga o te hunga katoa i a Ihimaera i a Hohanana tama a Karea, i ona hoa hoki, i nga rangatira katoa o nga ope, na ka koa ratou.
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.
Ko te tino tahuritanga o te hunga katoa i whakaraua e Ihimaera i Mihipa, hoki ana, haere ana ki a Hohanana tama a Karea.
15 But Ishmael the son of Nethanyah escaped with eight men from the presence of Jochanan, and he went to the children of 'Ammon.
Engari ko Ihimaera tama a Netania i mawhiti atu i a Hohanana, ratou ko nga tangata tokowaru, a haere ana ki nga tama a Amona.
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;
Katahi ka mau a Hohanana tama a Karea, ratou ko ona hoa, ko nga rangatira katoa o nga ope, i nga morehu katoa o te iwi, i era o Mihipa i whakahokia mai e ia i a Ihimaera tama a Netania, i muri i tana patunga i a Keraria tama a Ahikama, ara nga t angata whawhai, nga wahine, nga tamariki, nga unaka hoki i whakahokia mai e ia i Kipeono;
17 And they went, and remained in Geruth-Kimham, which is by Beth-lechem, to go to enter into Egypt,
A haere ana, noho ana i Kerutu Kimihama, i te taha o Peterehema, he mea kia haere ai ratou ki Ihipa,
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.
I te wehi ki nga Karari; i wehi hoki ratou i a ratou, mo te patunga a Ihimaera tama a Netania i a Keraria tama a Ahikama, i meinga nei e te kingi o Papurona hei kawana mo te whenua.
