Jeremiah 41
1 And it came to pass in the seventh month, that Ishmael son of Nethaniah son of Elishama of the seed royal and chiefs of the king, and ten men with him, came in, unto Gedaliah son of Ahikam, at Mizpah, —and they did there eat bread together in Mizpah.
Nʼọnwa nke asaa, Ishmel nwa Netanaya, nwa Elishama, onye si nʼagbụrụ eze, na onye naara abụ otu nʼime ndịisi ozi eze, duuru ndị ikom iri bịa nʼụlọ Gedaliya nwa Ahikam na Mizpa. Mgbe Gedaliya soo ha niile na-eri nri,
2 Then arose Ishmael son of Nethaniah—and the ten men who were with him and they smote Gedaliah son of Ahikam son of Shaphan—with the sword and slew him whom the king of Babylon had set in charge, over the land.
Ishmel nwa Netanaya na mmadụ iri ndị ahụ ya na ha so, biliri jiri mma agha tigbuo Gedaliya nwa Ahikam, nwa Shefan, bụ onye eze Babilọn họpụtara dịka onye na-achị ala ahụ niile.
3 And Ishmael smote, all the Jews who were with him even with Gedaliah in Mizpah, and the Chaldeans who were found there the men of war.
Ishmel gbukwara ndị ikom Juda niile ha na Gedaliya nọ na Mizpa, gbukwaa ndị agha Babilọn nọkwa nʼebe ahụ.
4 And it came to pass, on the second day, after he had slain Gedaliah, not, a man, knowing it,
Nʼụbọchị na-eso ụbọchị ahụ ha gbusịrị Gedaliya, tupu mmadụ ọbụla anụ ihe banyere ya,
5 that men came in from Shechem, from Shiloh, and from Samaria, —eighty men, with beards shaven and clothes rent who also had cut themselves, with a meal-offering and frankincense in their hand, to bring them into the house of Yahweh.
o nwere iri mmadụ asatọ, bụ ndị kpụchara afụọnụ ha, dọwasịa uwe ha, gbukasịakwa onwe ha ahụ, sitere nʼobodo Shekem, na Shaịlo na Sameria buuru onyinye ịnata ihuọma, na ihe nsure ọkụ na-esi isi ụtọ na-abịa nʼụlọnsọ Onyenwe anyị.
6 Then went forth Ishmael son of Nethaniah to meet them out of Mizpah, weeping all along as he went, —and it came to pass when he fell in with them, that he said unto them, Come ye in unto Gedaliah son of Ahikam.
Ishmel nwa Netanaya sitere na Mizpa pụọ izute ha, na-akwa akwa mgbe ọ na-aga. Mgbe o zutere ha, ọ sịrị ha, “Bịakwutenụ Gedaliya nwa Ahikam.”
7 And so it was when they had come into the midst of the city, that Ishmael son of Nethaniah slew them and cast them into the midst of a pit, he and the men who were with him.
Mgbe ha batara nʼobodo, Ishmel nwa Netanaya na ndị ikom ahụ bụ ndị so ya, gburu ndị ahụ tụnye ozu ha nʼime olulu.
8 But, ten men, were found among them, who said unto Ishmael—Do not put us to death, for we have secret treasures in the field, wheat and barley and oil and honey, So he forbare and put them not to death in the midst of their brethren.
Ma mmadụ iri nʼime ndị ahụ gwara Ishmel okwu sị ya, “Biko, egbula anyị, nʼihi na anyị nwere ọka wiiti na ọka balị, na mmanụ aṅụ anyị zoro nʼime ọhịa.” Nʼihi ya, o gbughị ha, kama ọ hapụrụ ha ndụ.
9 Now the pit whereinto Ishmael cast all the dead bodies of the men whom he had smitten, was a large pit which King Asa had made for fear of Baasha king of Israel, —the same, did Ishmael son of Nethaniah fill with the slain,
Olulu ahụ Ishmel tụnyere ozu Gedaliya na ozu ndị ọzọ ahụ niile bụ olulu nke Asa bụ eze gwuru maka ichebe Jerusalem mgbe Baasha eze Izrel na-ebuso ya agha. Ọ bụkwa ozu ndị mmadụ ka Ishmel, nwa Netanaya kpojuru nʼime olulu ahụ.
10 Then did Ishmael take captive all the remnant of the people that was in Mizpah, —the daughters of the king, and all the people that were left remaining in Mizpah, whom Nebuzaradan chief of the royal executioners had committed unto Gedaliah son of Ahikam, —yea Ishmael son of Nethaniah took them captive, and departed to pass over unto the sons of Ammon.
Ishmel dọtakwara ndị niile fọdụrụ nʼime Mizpa nʼagha. Ọ dọtara ụmụ ndị inyom eze nʼagha, dọtakwa ndị ahụ niile a hapụrụ nʼebe ahụ, bụ ndị ahụ Nebuzaradan, ọchịagha ndị nche eze mere ka Gedaliya nwa Ahikam bụrụ onye na-achị ha. Ishmel nwa Netanaya dọtara ha niile nʼagha duru ha na-achọ ịgbapụ gaa nʼala ndị Amọn.
11 But when Johanan son of Kareah and all the captains of the forces who were with him heard of all the wickedness which Ishmael son of Nethaniah had done,
Mgbe Johanan nwa Kariya, na ndịisi agha ahụ niile ya na ha nọ nụrụ ihe ọjọọ Ishmel nwa Netanaya mere,
12 then took they all the men, and went their way to fight with Ishmael son of Nethaniah, —and found him near the many waters which were in Gibeon.
ha duuru ndị agha ha niile pụọ ibuso Ishmel nwa Netanaya agha. Ha chụkwutere ya nʼebe dị nso nʼiyi ukwu Gibiọn.
13 And it came to pass, when all the people who were with Ishmael saw Johanan son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces who were with him, then were they glad.
Mgbe ndị ahụ niile Ishmel dọtara nʼagha hụrụ Johanan nwa Kariya na ndịisi agha so ya, ha ṅụrịrị ọṅụ.
14 So all the people whom Ishmael had carried away captive out of Mizpah, compassed about, and returned and went their way unto Johanan son of Kareah.
Ndị ahụ niile Ishmel dọtara nʼagha na Mizpa, chigharịrị gafee nʼebe Johanan nwa Kariya nọ.
15 But, Ishmael son of Nethaniah, escaped with eight men, from the face of Johanan, —and departed unto the sons of Ammon.
Ma Ishmel nwa Netanaya, na mmadụ asatọ nʼime ndị agha ya, gbapụrụ ọsọ gbanarị Johanan. Ha gbalagara nʼala ndị Amọn.
16 Then did Johanan son of Kareah and all the captains of the forces who were with him take all the remnant of the people whom he had recovered from Ishmael son of Nethaniah out of Mizpah, after he had smitten Gedaliah son of Ahikam, —mighty men, men of war, and women and children and eunuchs, whom he had recovered out of Gibeon;
Mgbe ahụ, Johanan nwa Kariya na ndịisi agha niile ya na ha so duuru ndị ahụ niile ha napụtara site nʼaka Ishmel pụọ, bụ ndị ahụ Ishmel nwa Netanaya dọtara nʼagha na Mizpa, mgbe o buuru ụzọ gbuo Gedaliya nwa Ahikam. Ndị ọzọ Johanan si na Gibiọn durukwa bụ ndị a, ndị agha, na ndị inyom, na ụmụntakịrị, na ndịisi ụlọ ikpe.
17 and they departed, and dwelt in the khan of Chimham, which is near Bethlehem, —that they might go to enter Egypt;
Ha duuru ha na-aga, ma kwụsị nʼobodo Gerut Kimham, nke dị nso na Betlehem, ebe ha bu nʼobi ịga Ijipt,
18 because of the Chaldeans, for they were afraid of them, —because Ishmael son of Nethaniah had smitten Gedaliah son of Ahikam, whom the king of Babylon had set in charge over the land.
nʼihi ịgbanarị ndị Babilọn. Ha tụrụ egwu ihe ndị Babilọn ga-eme ha nʼihi ogbugbu Ishmel nwa Netanaya gburu Gedaliya nwa Ahikam, onye eze Babilọn họpụtara ka ọ bụrụ onye na-achị ala ahụ.
