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.
Mweri-inĩ wa mũgwanja Ishumaeli mũrũ wa Nethania, mũrũ wa Elishama, ũrĩa warĩ wa rũciaro rwa mũthamaki na mbere aakoretwo arĩ ũmwe wa anene a mũthamaki, nĩookire arĩ na andũ ikũmi kũrĩ Gedalia mũrũ wa Ahikamu kũu Mizipa. Na rĩrĩa maarĩ hamwe makĩrĩa-rĩ,
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.
Ishumaeli mũrũ wa Nethania hamwe na andũ acio ikũmi mokĩte nake magĩũkĩra, magĩtemanga Gedalia mũrũ wa Ahikamu, mũrũ wa Shafani na rũhiũ rwa njora, makĩũraga mũndũ ũcio mũthamaki wa Babuloni aatuĩte barũthi wa bũrũri ũcio.
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.
Ishumaeli agĩcooka akĩũraga Ayahudi othe arĩa maarĩ na Gedalia kũu Mizipa, o ũndũ ũmwe na thigari cia Babuloni iria ciarĩ kuo.
4 It happened the second day after he had killed Gedaliah, and no man knew it,
Mũthenya ũrĩa warũmĩrĩire kũũragwo kwa Gedalia, ũhoro ũcio ũtamenyetwo nĩ mũndũ-rĩ,
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 YHWH.
andũ mĩrongo ĩnana meyenjete nderu, na magatembũranga nguo ciao, o na magetemanga mĩĩrĩ nĩmookire moimĩte Shekemu, na Shilo, na Samaria, marĩ na ngano ya maruta na ũbumba, magĩcirehe thĩinĩ wa nyũmba ya Jehova.
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."
Ishumaeli mũrũ wa Nethania akiuma Mizipa, agĩthiĩ akĩrĩraga akamatũnge. Rĩrĩa maacemanirie akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Ũkaai kũrĩ Gedalia mũrũ wa Ahikamu.”
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.
Rĩrĩa maatoonyire thĩinĩ wa itũũra, Ishumaeli mũrũ wa Nethania na andũ arĩa maarĩ nake, makĩmooraga, makĩmaikia irima rĩa maaĩ.
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.
No rĩrĩ, andũ ikũmi thĩinĩ wao makĩĩra Ishumaeli atĩrĩ, “Tiga gũtũũraga! Tũrĩ na ngano na cairi, na maguta na ũũkĩ iria tũhithĩte werũ-inĩ.” Nĩ ũndũ ũcio agĩtigana nao na ndaamooragire hamwe na acio angĩ.
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 rĩrĩ, irima rĩu aikirie ciimba cia andũ acio othe ooragĩte, hamwe na kĩimba kĩa Gedalia, rĩenjithĩtio nĩ Mũthamaki Asa rĩtuĩke kĩĩhitho gĩake rĩrĩa angĩtharĩkĩrwo nĩ Baasha mũthamaki wa Isiraeli. Ishumaeli mũrũ wa Nethania akĩrĩiyũria ciimba cia andũ acio moragĩtwo.
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.
Ishumaeli nĩanyiitire mĩgwate andũ acio angĩ othe arĩa maikaraga Mizipa, akĩmataha: nao maarĩ airĩtu a mũthamaki, hamwe na andũ acio angĩ othe arĩa maatigĩtwo kuo, arĩa Nebuzaradani ũcio mũnene wa arangĩri a mũthamaki aatuĩte maroragwo nĩ Gedalia mũrũ wa Ahikamu. Ishumaeli mũrũ wa Nethania nĩamatahire akiumagara nao, agĩtuĩkania erekeire mũrĩmo wa andũ a Amoni akeeneane kũrĩ o.
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,
Rĩrĩa Johanani mũrũ wa Karea, na anene othe a mbũtũ cia ita arĩa maarĩ nake maiguire ũhoro wa ngero icio ciothe Ishumaeli mũrũ wa Nethania aagerete-rĩ,
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.
makĩoya andũ ao othe na makiumagara makarũe na Ishumaeli mũrũ wa Nethania. Nao makĩmũkorerera hakuhĩ na handũ haarĩ maaĩ maingĩ kũu Gibeoni.
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.
Rĩrĩa andũ acio othe Ishumaeli aarĩ nao monire Johanani mũrũ wa Karea na anene a mbũtũ cia ita acio maarĩ nake-rĩ, othe magĩkena.
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.
Andũ acio othe Ishumaeli aatahĩte kũu Mizipa nĩmahũndũkire, magĩthiĩ kũrĩ Johanani mũrũ wa Karea.
15 But Ishmael the son of Nethaniah escaped from Johanan with eight men, and went to the people of Ammon.
Nowe Ishumaeli mũrũ wa Nethania na andũ ake anana nĩmetharire kuuma harĩ Johanani, makĩũrĩra kũrĩ andũ a Amoni.
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:
Hĩndĩ ĩyo Johanani mũrũ wa Karea na anene othe a mbũtũ cia ita acio maarĩ nake, magĩtongoria arĩa othe maatigaire kuuma Mizipa, o acio aatunyanĩte harĩ Ishumaeli mũrũ wa Nethania thuutha wake kũũraga Gedalia mũrũ wa Ahikamu: Nao maarĩ thigari, na andũ-a-nja, na ciana, o na andũ arĩa mehokeirwo mawĩra ma nyũmba ya mũthamaki, arĩa aacooketie kuuma Gibeoni.
17 and they departed, and lived in Geruth Kimham, which is by Bethlehem, to go to enter into Egypt,
Nao magĩthiĩ na mbere, makĩraarĩrĩra Geruthu-Kimuhamu gũkuhĩ na Bethilehemu marĩ rũgendo-inĩ rwa gũthiĩ bũrũri wa Misiri,
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.
nĩguo moorĩre andũ a Babuloni. Nĩmetigagĩra andũ a Babuloni tondũ Ishumaeli mũrũ wa Nethania nĩooragĩte Gedalia mũrũ wa Ahikamu, ũrĩa watuĩtwo barũthi nĩ mũthamaki wa Babuloni.
