Jeremiah 41
1 And it came to pass in the seventh month, that Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, the son of Elishama, of the blood royal, and one of the great officers of the king, and ten men with him, came to Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam, to Mizpah; and they ate bread there together in Mizpah.
Og det skete i den syvende Maaned, at Ismael, Nethanjas Søn, Elisamas Sønnesøn, der var af kongelig Byrd og en af Kongens Stormænd, og ti Mænd med ham kom til Gedalia, Ahikams Søn, til Mizpa; og de aade der Brød med hverandre i Mizpa.
2 Then Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, arose, and the ten men that were with him, and smote Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, with the sword, and slew him whom the king of Babylon had made governor over the land.
Og Ismael, Nethanjas Søn, han og de ti Mænd, som vare med ham, stode op og sloge Gedalia, Ahikams Søn, Safans Sønnesøn, med Sværdet, og de dræbte ham, hvem Kongen af Babel havde sat over Landet.
3 And all the Jews that were with him, with Gedaliah at Mizpah, and the Chaldaeans that were found there, the men of war, did Ishmael smite.
Og alle Jøderne, som vare hos ham, nemlig hos Gedalia i Mizpa, og Kaldæerne, som fandtes der, nemlig Krigsmændene, dem slog Ismael ihjel.
4 And it came to pass, the second day after he had slain Gedaliah, and no man knew it,
Og det skete den anden Dag, efter at han havde dræbt Gedalia, og ingen vidste det,
5 that there came certain men from Shechem, from Shiloh, and from Samaria, fourscore persons, having their beards shaven, and their clothes rent, and having cut themselves, with an oblation and incense in their hands, to bring to the house of Jehovah.
at der kom Mænd fra Sikem, fra Silo og fra Samaria, firsindstyve Mænd med afraget Skæg og sønderrevne Klæder og med Saar, de havde tilføjet sig; og de havde Madoffer og Virak i deres Haand for at bringe det til Herrens Hus.
6 And Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, went forth from Mizpah to meet them, weeping all along as he went; and when he met them, he said to them, “Come ye to Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam.”
Og Ismael, Nethanjas Søn, gik ud dem i Møde fra Mizpa, idet han græd, som han vedblev at gaa frem; og der han mødte dem, da sagde han til dem i Kommer til Gedalia, Ahikams Søn.
7 And when they had come into the midst of the city, Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, slew them, and cast them into the pit, he and the men that were with him.
Og det skete, der de kom midt i Staden, da myrdede Ismael, Nethanjas Søn, dem, og kastede dem i Kulen, han og de Mænd, som vare med ham.
8 But ten men were found among them who said to Ishmael, “Slay us not, for we have hidden stores in the field, of wheat, and barley, and oil, and honey.” He forbore, therefore, and slew them not with their brethren.
Men der fandtes ti Mænd iblandt dem, som sagde til Ismael: Dræb os ikke, thi vi have Skatte skjulte i Ageren, Hvede og Byg og Olie og Honning; saa lod han dem være og dræbte dem ikke midt iblandt deres Brødre.
9 Now the pit into which Ishmael cast all the dead bodies of the men whom he slew, together with Gedaliah, is the same which King Asa made on account of Baasha, king of Israel; and Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, filled it with them that were slain.
Og den Kule, hvori Ismael kastede alle de døde Kroppe af de Mænd, som han havde ihjelslaaet tillige med Gedalia, var den, som Kong Asa havde ladet gøre imod Baesa, Israels Konge; den fyldte Ismael, Nethanjas Søn, med de ihjelslagne.
10 And Ishmael took captive all the residue of the people that were in Mizpah, the king's daughters, and all the people that remained in Mizpah, whom Nebuzaradan, captain of the guard, had committed to the charge of Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam; even Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, took them captive, and set forth to go over [[the Jordan]] to the children of Ammon.
Og Ismael bortførte som Fanger alle de overblevne af Folket, som vare i Mizpa, Kongens Døtre og alt Folket, som var blevet tilbage i Mizpa, hvilke Nebusar-Adan, den øverste for Drabanterne, havde betroet Gedalia, Ahikams Søn; dem bortførte Ismael, Nethanjas Søn, som Fanger og gik sin Vej for at drage over til Ammons Børn.
11 But when Johanan, the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces that were with him, heard of all the evil which Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, had done,
Der Johanan, Kareaks Søn, og alle de Høvedsmænd for Hæren, som vare med ham, hørte alt det onde, som Ismael, Nethanjas Søn, havde gjort,
12 they took all the men, and went up to fight with Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, and came up with him at the great waters that are in Gibeon.
da toge de alle Mændene til sig og droge hen for at stride imod Ismael, Nethanjas Søn; og de fandt ham ved det store Vand, som er i Gibeon.
13 And when all the people which were with Ishmael saw Johanan, the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces that were with him, they were glad;
Og det skete, der alt Folket, som var hos Ismael, saa Johanan, Kareaks Søn, og alle de Høvedsmænd for Hæren, som vare hos ham, da bleve de glade.
14 and all the people that Ishmael had carried away captive from Mizpah faced about and returned, and went to Johanan, the son of Kareah.
Og alt Folket, som Ismael havde ført fangen bort fra Mizpa, vendte sig om, og de droge tilbage og gik hen til Johanan, Kareaks Søn.
15 But Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, escaped from Johanan with eight men, and went to the children of Ammon.
Og Ismael, Nethanjas Søn, med otte Mænd undkom fra Johanan og drog til Ammons Børn.
16 Then took Johanan, the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces that were with him, all the remnant of the people whom he had recovered from Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, from Mizpah, after he had slain Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam, strong men, men of war, and women, and children, and eunuchs, whom he had brought back from Gibeon;
Da tog Johanan, Kareaks Søn, og alle de Høvedsmænd for Hæren, som vare hos ham, alle de overblevne af Folket bort fra Mizpa, dem, som han havde ført tilbage fra Ismael, Nethanjas Søn, efter at denne havde ihjelslaget Gedalia, Ahikams Søn: Vældige, Krigsmænd og Kvinder og smaa Børn og Hofmænd, som han havde ført tilbage fra Gibeon.
17 and they went, and tarried in the inn of Chimham, which is near Bethlehem, in order to flee into Egypt
Og de droge af Sted og bleve i Kimhams Herberge, som var ved Bethlehem, for at drage videre og komme til Ægypten,
18 from the Chaldaeans; for they were afraid of them, because Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, had slain Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam, whom the king of Babylon had made governor over the land.
for Kaldæernes Skyld; thi de frygtede for dem, fordi Ismael, Nethanjas Søn, havde slaget Gedalia, Ahikams Søn, ihjel, hvem Kongen af Babel havde beskikket over Landet.
