< Jeremiah 41 >
1 And it comes to pass, in the seventh month, Ishmael son of Nethaniah, son of Elishama, of the royal seed, and of the chiefs of the king, and ten men with him, have come to Gedaliah son of Ahikam, to Mizpah, and there they eat 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 And Ishmael son of Nethaniah rises, and the ten men who have been with him, and they strike Gedaliah son of Ahikam, son of Shaphan, with the sword, and he puts him to death whom the king of Babylon has appointed 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 who have been with him, with Gedaliah, in Mizpah, and the Chaldeans who have been found there—the men of war—Ishmael has struck.
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 comes to pass, on the second day of the putting of Gedaliah to death (and no one has known),
他杀了基大利,无人知道。
5 that men come in from Shechem, from Shiloh, and from Samaria—eighty men—with shaven beards, and torn garments, and cutting themselves, and [with] an offering and frankincense in their hand, to bring [them] to the house of YHWH.
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 son of Nethaniah goes forth to meet them, from Mizpah, going on and weeping, and it comes to pass, at meeting them, that he says to them, “Come to Gedaliah son of Ahikam.”
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 comes to pass, at their coming into the midst of the city, that Ishmael son of Nethaniah slaughters them, at the midst of the pit, he and the men who [are] 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 And ten men have been found among them, and they say to Ishmael, “Do not put us to death, for we have things hidden in the field—wheat, and barley, and oil, and honey.” And he refrains, and has not put them to death in the midst of their brothers.
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 pit to where Ishmael has cast all the carcasses of the men whom he has struck along with Gedaliah, is that which King Asa made because of Baasha king of Israel—Ishmael son of Nethaniah has filled it with the pierced.
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 And Ishmael takes captive all the remnant of the people who [are] in Mizpah, the daughters of the king, and all the people who are left in Mizpah, whom Nebuzar-Adan, chief of the executioners, has committed [to] Gedaliah son of Ahikam, and Ishmael son of Nethaniah takes them captive, and goes to pass over to the sons 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 And Johanan son of Kareah, and all the heads of the forces that [are] with him, hear of all the evil that Ishmael son of Nethaniah has 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 and they take all the men, and go to fight with Ishmael son of Nethaniah, and they find him at the great waters that [are] in Gibeon.
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 comes to pass, when all the people who [are] with Ishmael see Johanan son of Kareah, and all the heads of the forces who [are] with him, that they rejoice.
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 whom Ishmael has taken captive from Mizpah turn around, indeed, they turn back, and go to Johanan son of Kareah.
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 And Ishmael son of Nethaniah has escaped, with eight men, from the presence of Johanan, and he goes to the sons 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 And Johanan son of Kareah, and all the heads of the forces who [are] with him, take all the remnant of the people whom he has brought back from Ishmael son of Nethaniah, from Mizpah—after he had struck Gedaliah son of Ahikam—mighty ones, men of war, and women, and infants, and eunuchs, whom he had brought back from Gibeon,
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 go and abide in the habitations of Chimham, that [are] near Beth-Lehem, to go to enter Egypt,
带到靠近伯利恒的金罕寓住下,要进入埃及去;
18 from the presence of the Chaldeans, for they have been afraid of them, for Ishmael son of Nethaniah had struck Gedaliah son of Ahikam, whom the king of Babylon had appointed 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。
