< 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.
Nan setyèm mwa a, Izmayèl, pitit Netanya, pitit pitit Elichama, rive Mispa ansanm ak dis lòt moun pou li vin wè Gedalya, pitit Akikam. Izmayèl te yon ti fanmi wa a. Se te yon gwo chèf nan gouvènman wa a. Pandan yo chita konsa sou tab ap manje lakay Gedalya,
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.
Izmayèl leve ansanm ak dis moun li yo, yo rale nepe yo, yo touye Gedalya, nonm wa Babilòn lan te mete pou gouvènen peyi a.
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.
Apre sa, yo touye tout gason jwif ki te lavil Mispa avèk Gedalya. Yo touye tout sòlda moun Babilòn ki te la tou.
4 And it comes to pass, on the second day of the putting of Gedaliah to death (and no one has known),
Yo te fin ansasinen Gedalya a depi de jou, nouvèl la pa t' ankò gaye.
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.
Se konsa katreven gason ki te soti lavil Sichèm, lavil Silo ak lavil Samari vin rive. Yo te koupe tout bab nan figi yo, yo te gen rad chire sou yo, tout kò yo te plen mak kouto. Yo te pote grenn jaden ak lansan pou ofri nan tanp Jerizalèm lan.
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.”
Izmayèl kite Mispa, li soti al kontre yo, de ran dlo nan je l'. Lè li rive sou yo li di konsa: -Vini non, ann al kay Gedalya!
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.
Men rive yo rive nan mitan lavil Mispa, Izmayèl ansanm ak mesye l' yo touye yo, lèfini yo lage kadav yo nan yon sitèn.
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.
Men gen dis nan moun sa yo ki te di Izmayèl konsa: -Pa touye nou paske nou gen pwovizyon kache nan jaden nou yo, ble, lòj, lwil ak siwo myèl. Se konsa Izmayèl pa t' touye sa yo ansanm ak lòt yo.
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.
Sitèn kote Izmayèl te jete kadav moun li te touye yo, se gwo sitèn wa Asa te fè fouye lè Basa, wa peyi Izrayèl la, te vin atake l' la. Se sitèn sa a Izmayèl te plen ak kadav yo.
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.
Apre sa, Izmayèl mache pran tout pitit fi wa a ansanm ak tout rès moun ki te lavil Mispa, moun Neboucharadan, chèf lagad la, te kite sou kont Gedalya. Li fè yo prizonye. Li pati ak yo, li pran direksyon peyi moun Amon yo.
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,
Jokanan, pitit Karejak la, ansanm ak lòt chèf lame ki te avè l' yo vin konnen tout mechanste Izmayèl, pitit Netanya a, te fè.
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.
Yo pran tout sòlda yo, yo pati dèyè l'. Yo jwenn li bò gwo letan Gabawon an.
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.
Lè moun Izmayèl te fè prizonye yo wè Jokanan avèk chèf lame ki avè l' yo, yo te kontan.
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.
Lè sa a, tout moun Izmayèl te fè prizonye lavil Mispa yo kase tèt tounen, yo kouri vin jwenn Jokanan.
15 And Ishmael son of Nethaniah has escaped, with eight men, from the presence of Johanan, and he goes to the sons of Ammon.
Izmayèl menm ansanm ak wit nan moun pa l' yo kouri pou Jokanan, yo chape kò yo nan peyi Amon an.
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,
Apre sa, Jokanan ak chèf lame ki te avè l' yo pran sou kont yo tout moun Izmayèl te fè prizonye lavil Mispa apre li menm Izmayèl te fin touye Gedalya a. Jokanan pran avè l' gason yo, ki vle di sòlda yo, fanm yo, timoun yo, moun konfyans yo, tout moun li te jwenn lavil Gabawon.
17 and they go and abide in the habitations of Chimham, that [are] near Beth-Lehem, to go to enter Egypt,
Yo fè yon ti rete nan lotèl Kimean an, toupre lavil Betleyèm. Yo te fè lide desann peyi Lejip
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.
paske yo te pè moun Babilòn yo, depi Izmayèl te fin touye Gedalya, moun wa Babilòn lan te mete pou gouvènen peyi a.
