Jeremiah 41
1 Now it happened in the seventh month, that Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, the son of Elishama, of the royal family and one of the chief officers of the king, and ten men with him, came to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam to Mizpah; and there they ate bread together in Mizpah.
Dalam bulan yang ketujuh datanglah Ismael bin Netanya bin Elisama--ia keturunan raja dan perwira tinggi raja--beserta sepuluh orang kepada Gedalya bin Ahikam di Mizpa. Sementara mereka makan roti bersama-sama di Mizpa,
2 Then arose Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, and the ten men who were with him, and struck Gedaliah the son of Ahikam the son of Shaphan with the sword, and killed him, whom the king of Babylon had made governor over the land.
maka bangkitlah Ismael bin Netanya dengan kesepuluh orang yang ada bersama-sama dia, lalu mereka memukul mati Gedalya bin Ahikam bin Safan dengan pedang; demikianlah Ismael membunuh dia yang telah diangkat raja Babel atas negeri itu.
3 Ishmael also killed all the Jews who were with him, with Gedaliah, at Mizpah, and the Chaldeans who were found there, the men of war.
Juga semua orang Yehuda yang ada bersama-sama dengan Gedalya di Mizpa dan orang-orang Kasdim, yakni prajurit, yang terdapat di sana dipukul mati oleh Ismael.
4 It happened the second day after he had killed Gedaliah, and no man knew it,
Esok harinya sesudah ia membunuh Gedalya--ketika itu belum ada yang tahu--
5 that there came men from Shechem, from Shiloh, and from Samaria, even eighty men, having their beards shaved and their clothes torn, and having cut themselves, with meal offerings and frankincense in their hand, to bring them to the house of Jehovah.
datanglah orang-orang dari Sikhem, dari Silo dan dari Samaria, delapan puluh orang jumlahnya, yang janggutnya bercukur, pakaiannya koyak-koyak dan badannya bertoreh-toreh; mereka membawa korban sajian dan kemenyan untuk dipersembahkan di rumah TUHAN.
6 Ishmael the son of Nethaniah went forth from Mizpah to meet them, weeping all along as he went: and it happened, as he met them, he said to them, "Come to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam."
Lalu keluarlah Ismael bin Netanya dari Mizpa untuk mendapatkan mereka sambil menangis. Ketika ia bertemu dengan mereka, berkatalah ia kepada mereka: "Pergilah kepada Gedalya bin Ahikam!"
7 It was so, when they came into the midst of the city, that Ishmael the son of Nethaniah killed them, and cast them into the midst of the pit, he, and the men who were with him.
Tetapi ketika mereka sampai ke tengah-tengah kota itu, maka mereka disembelih oleh Ismael bin Netanya dengan dibantu oleh orang-orang yang bersama-sama dengan dia; mayat-mayat mereka dicampakkan ke dalam perigi.
8 But ten men were found among those who said to Ishmael, "Do not kill us; for we have stores hidden in the field, of wheat, and of barley, and of oil, and of honey. So he stopped, and did not kill them among their brothers.
Tetapi di antara mereka terdapat sepuluh orang yang berkata kepada Ismael: "Janganlah bunuh kami, sebab kami masih mempunyai perbekalan tersembunyi di luar kota, yakni gandum, jelai, minyak dan madu!" Maka iapun membiarkan mereka, tidak membunuhnya bersama-sama dengan rekan-rekan mereka.
9 Now the pit in which Ishmael cast all the dead bodies of the men whom he had killed was a large one that King Asa had constructed in the encounter with Baasha king of Israel. Ishmael the son of Nethaniah filled it with those who were killed.
Adapun perigi, ke mana Ismael melemparkan segala mayat orang-orang yang dipukulnya mati itu adalah perigi besar yang telah dibuat oleh raja Asa untuk menghadapi Baesa, raja Israel; itulah yang diisi Ismael bin Netanya dengan mayat orang-orang yang mati terbunuh itu.
10 Then Ishmael carried away captive all the residue of the people who were in Mizpah, even the king's daughters, and all the people who remained in Mizpah, whom Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard had committed to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam; Ishmael the son of Nethaniah carried them away captive, and departed to go over to the people of Ammon.
Lalu Ismael mengangkut sebagai tawanan seluruh sisa-sisa rakyat yang ada di Mizpa itu, puteri-puteri raja dan semua orang yang masih tinggal di Mizpa yang telah ditempatkan di bawah Gedalya bin Ahikam oleh Nebuzaradan, kepala pasukan pengawal itu. Ismael bin Netanya mengangkut mereka sebagai tawanan, lalu ia berangkat untuk menyeberang ke daerah bani Amon.
11 But when Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces who were with him, heard of all the evil that Ishmael the son of Nethaniah had done,
Tetapi ketika Yohanan bin Kareah serta semua perwira tentara, yang bersama-sama dengan dia, mendengar tentang segala kejahatan yang telah dilakukan Ismael bin Netanya,
12 then they took all the men, and went to fight with Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, and found him by the great waters that are in Gibeon.
maka merekapun mengumpulkan semua anak buah mereka, lalu mereka berangkat memerangi Ismael bin Netanya. Mereka bertemu dengan dia di telaga yang di Gibeon.
13 Now it happened that, when all the people who were with Ishmael saw Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces who were with him, then they were glad.
Ketika seluruh rakyat yang bersama-sama dengan Ismael melihat Yohanan bin Kareah serta semua perwira tentara yang bersama-sama dengan dia, maka bersukacitalah mereka.
14 So all the people who Ishmael had carried away captive from Mizpah turned about and came back, and went to Johanan the son of Kareah.
Semua orang yang diangkut sebagai tawanan oleh Ismael dari Mizpa itu berbalik dan pergi mengikuti Yohanan bin Kareah.
15 But Ishmael the son of Nethaniah escaped from Johanan with eight men, and went to the people of Ammon.
Tetapi Ismael bin Netanya beserta delapan orang terluput dari tangan Yohanan dan pergi ke daerah bani Amon.
16 Then took Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces who were with him, all the remnant of the people whom he had recovered from Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, from Mizpah, after that he had killed Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, the men of war, and the women, and the children, and the eunuchs, whom he had brought back from Gibeon:
Lalu Yohanan bin Kareah serta semua perwira tentara yang bersama-sama dengan dia mengumpulkan seluruh sisa-sisa rakyat yang diangkut sebagai tawanan oleh Ismael bin Netanya dari Mizpa, setelah ia memukul mati Gedalya bin Ahikam: yaitu laki-laki, prajurit-prajurit, perempuan, anak-anak dan pegawai-pegawai istana yang dibawa kembali dari Gibeon,
17 and they departed, and lived in Geruth Kimham, which is by Bethlehem, to go to enter into Egypt,
kemudian mereka berjalan terus dan berhenti di tempat penginapan milik Kimham dekat Betlehem, dengan maksud berjalan terus menuju Mesir,
18 because of the Chaldeans; for they were afraid of them, because Ishmael the son of Nethaniah had killed Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, whom the king of Babylon made governor over the land.
untuk mengelakkan orang-orang Kasdim, yang ditakuti mereka, oleh karena Ismael bin Netanya telah memukul mati Gedalya bin Ahikam yang telah diangkat raja Babel atas negeri itu.
