< 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 It happened the second day after he had killed Gedaliah, and no man knew 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 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 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 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."
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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,
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 Nethaniah escaped from Johanan with eight men, and went to the people 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 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:
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 departed, and lived in Geruth Kimham, which is by Bethlehem, 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 Nethaniah had killed Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, whom the king of Babylon made 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.
