< 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.
Ní oṣù keje Iṣmaeli, ọmọ Netaniah ọmọ Eliṣama, nínú irú-ọmọ ọba, àti àwọn ìjòyè ọba, àti àwọn ọkùnrin mẹ́wàá pẹ̀lú rẹ̀, wọ́n tọ Gedaliah ọmọ Ahikamu wá ní Mispa; níbẹ̀ ni wọ́n jùmọ̀ jẹun ní Mispa.
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.
Iṣmaeli ọmọ Netaniah àti àwọn ọkùnrin mẹ́wàá tí wọ́n wà pẹ̀lú rẹ̀, sì dìde wọ́n kọlu Gedaliah ọmọ Ahikamu, ọmọ Ṣafani pẹ̀lú idà. Wọ́n sì pa á, ẹni tí ọba Babeli ti fi jẹ baálẹ̀ lórí ilẹ̀ náà.
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.
Iṣmaeli sì tún pa gbogbo àwọn Júù tí wọ́n wà pẹ̀lú Gedaliah ní Mispa, àti gbogbo àwọn ọmọ-ogun Babeli tí wọ́n wà níbẹ̀ bákan náà.
4 And it came to pass on the second day after he had put Gedalyahu to death, while no man knew of it,
Ní ọjọ́ kejì tí wọ́n pa Gedaliah kí ó tó di wí pé ẹnikẹ́ni mọ̀,
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.
àwọn ọgọ́rin ọkùnrin wá láti Ṣekemu, Ṣilo àti Samaria, wọ́n fa irùngbọ̀n wọn, wọ́n ya aṣọ wọn, wọ́n ṣá ara wọn lọ́gbẹ́, wọ́n mú ẹbọ ọpẹ́ àti tùràrí wá sí ilé Olúwa.
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.
Iṣmaeli ọmọkùnrin Netaniah jáde kúrò láti Mispa láti lọ pàdé wọn. Ó sì ń sọkún bí ó ti ṣe ń lọ, nígbà tí ó pàdé wọn, ó wí pé, “Ẹ wá sọ́dọ̀ Gedaliah ọmọkùnrin Ahikamu.”
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.
Nígbà tí wọ́n dé ìlú náà; Iṣmaeli ọmọkùnrin Netaniah àti àwọn ọkùnrin tí ó wà pẹ̀lú rẹ̀ pa wọ́n, wọ́n sì sọ òkú wọn sínú ihò kan.
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.
Ṣùgbọ́n mẹ́wàá nínú wọn sọ fún Iṣmaeli pé, “Má ṣe pa wá! Àwa ní ọkà àti barle, òróró àti oyin ní ìpamọ́ nínú oko.” Nítorí náà, ó fi wọ́n sílẹ̀: kò sì pa wọ́n pẹ̀lú àwọn yòókù.
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.
Nísinsin yìí, ihò náà tí ó kó gbogbo ara àwọn ọkùnrin tí ó ti pa pẹ̀lú Gedaliah sí ni ọba Asa ń lò gẹ́gẹ́ bí i ààbò nítorí ọba Baaṣa ti Israẹli. Iṣmaeli ọmọ Netaniah sì ti kó òkú kún inú rẹ̀.
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.
Iṣmaeli sì kó gbogbo àwọn ènìyàn tí ó wà ní Mispa nígbèkùn, ọmọbìnrin ọba àti gbogbo àwọn ènìyàn tókù síbẹ̀ lórí àwọn tí Nebusaradani balógun àwọn ẹ̀ṣọ́ ti fi yan Gedaliah ọmọkùnrin Ahikamu ṣe olórí. Iṣmaeli ọmọkùnrin Netaniah kó wọn ní ìgbèkùn, ó sì jáde rékọjá sí ọ̀dọ̀ àwọn Ammoni.
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:
Nígbà tí Johanani ọmọkùnrin Karea àti gbogbo àwọn olórí ogun tí wọ́n wà pẹ̀lú rẹ̀ gbọ́ nípa gbogbo ìpànìyàn náà tí Iṣmaeli ọmọ Netaniah ti ṣe.
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.
Wọ́n kó gbogbo àwọn ọkùnrin wọn, wọ́n sì, lọ bá Iṣmaeli ọmọ Netaniah jà. Wọ́n pàdé rẹ̀ ní odò kan lẹ́bàá Gibeoni.
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.
Nígbà tí gbogbo àwọn ènìyàn Iṣmaeli tí wọ́n wà pẹ̀lú rẹ̀ rí Johanani ọmọkùnrin Karea àti àwọn olórí ogun rẹ̀ pẹ̀lú rẹ̀, wọ́n sì yọ̀.
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.
Gbogbo àwọn ènìyàn tí Iṣmaeli ti kó ní ìgbèkùn ní Mispa yípadà, wọ́n sì lọ sọ́dọ̀ Johanani ọmọ 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.
Ṣùgbọ́n Iṣmaeli ọmọkùnrin Netaniah àti àwọn mẹ́jọ nínú àwọn ọkùnrin rẹ̀ bọ́ lọ́wọ́ Johanani, wọ́n sì sálọ sí Ammoni.
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;
Lẹ́yìn náà Johanani ọmọkùnrin Karea àti gbogbo àwọn ọmọ-ogun tí wọn wà pẹ̀lú rẹ̀ sì kó gbogbo àwọn tí ó kù ní Mispa; àwọn tí ó ti rí gbà lọ́wọ́ Iṣmaeli ọmọkùnrin Netaniah; lẹ́yìn ìgbà tí ó ti pa Gedaliah ọmọ Ahikamu. Àwọn ọmọ-ogun, àwọn obìnrin, àwọn ọmọdé àti àwọn olórí ilé ẹjọ́ tí ó ti kó wa láti Gibeoni.
17 And they went, and remained in Geruth-Kimham, which is by Beth-lechem, to go to enter into Egypt,
Wọ́n sì kúrò níbẹ̀, wọ́n dúró ní Geruti Kimhamu ní ẹ̀bá Bẹtilẹhẹmu ní ọ́nà ìrìnàjò wọn sí Ejibiti.
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.
Láti gba àwọn Babeli sílẹ̀. Wọ́n bẹ̀rù wọn nítorí wí pé, “Iṣmaeli ọmọ Netaniah ti pa Gedaliah ọmọ Ahikamu èyí tí ọba Babeli ti yàn gẹ́gẹ́ bí i gómìnà lórí ilẹ̀ náà.”
