< Jeremiah 41 >

1 And it was - in the month seventh he came Ishmael [the] son of Nethaniah [the] son of Elishama one of [the] offspring of royalty and [the] chiefs of the king and ten men [who were] with him to Gedaliah [the] son of Ahikam Mizpah towards and they were eating there food together at Mizpah.
七月間,王的大臣宗室以利沙瑪的孫子、尼探雅的兒子以實瑪利帶着十個人,來到米斯巴見亞希甘的兒子基大利。他們在米斯巴一同吃飯。
2 And he arose Ishmael [the] son of Nethaniah and [the] ten the men - who they were with him and they struck down Gedaliah [the] son of Ahikam [the] son of Shaphan with the sword and he killed him whom he had appointed [the] king of Babylon over the land.
尼探雅的兒子以實瑪利和同他來的那十個人起來,用刀殺了沙番的孫子亞希甘的兒子基大利,就是巴比倫王所立為全地省長的。
3 And all the Jews who they were with him with Gedaliah at Mizpah and the Chaldeans who they were found there [the] men of war he struck down Ishmael.
以實瑪利又殺了在米斯巴、基大利那裏的一切猶大人和所遇見的迦勒底兵丁。
4 And it was on the day second of killing Gedaliah and anyone not he knew.
他殺了基大利,無人知道。
5 And they came men from Shechem from Shiloh and from Samaria eighty man shaven of beard and torn of clothes and having cut themselves and an offering and frankincense in hand their to bring [the] house of Yahweh.
第二天,有八十人從示劍和示羅,並撒馬利亞來,鬍鬚剃去,衣服撕裂,身體劃破,手拿素祭和乳香,要奉到耶和華的殿。
6 And he went out Ishmael [the] son of Nethaniah to meet them from Mizpah going continually and weeping and it was when met them and he said to them come to Gedaliah [the] son of Ahikam.
尼探雅的兒子以實瑪利出米斯巴迎接他們,隨走隨哭;遇見了他們,就對他們說:「你們可以來見亞希甘的兒子基大利。」
7 And it was when came they into [the] middle of the city and he slaughtered them Ishmael [the] son of Nethaniah into [the] middle of the cistern he and the men who [were] with him.
他們到了城中,尼探雅的兒子以實瑪利和同着他的人就將他們殺了,拋在坑中。
8 And ten men they were found among them and they said to Ishmael may not you kill us for there is [belonging] to us treasures in the field wheat and barley and oil and honey and he refrained and not he killed them in among relatives their.
只是他們中間有十個人對以實瑪利說:「不要殺我們,因為我們有許多大麥、小麥、油、蜜藏在田間。」於是他住了手,沒有將他們殺在弟兄中間。
9 And the cistern where he threw there Ishmael - all [the] corpses of the men whom he had struck down by [the] hand of Gedaliah it [was [the] one] which he had made the king Asa because of Baasha [the] king of Israel it he filled Ishmael [the] son of Nethaniah [those] slain.
以實瑪利將所殺之人的屍首都拋在坑裏基大利的旁邊;這坑是從前亞撒王因怕以色列王巴沙所挖的。尼探雅的兒子以實瑪利將那些被殺的人填滿了坑。
10 And he took captive - Ishmael all [the] rest of the people which [was] in Mizpah [the] daughters of the king and all the people who remained at Mizpah whom he had appointed Nebuzaradan [the] chief of [the] bodyguards with Gedaliah [the] son of Ahikam and he took captive them Ishmael [the] son of Nethaniah and he went to pass over to [the] people of Ammon.
以實瑪利將米斯巴剩下的人,就是眾公主和仍住在米斯巴所有的百姓,原是護衛長尼布撒拉旦交給亞希甘的兒子基大利的,都擄去了。尼探雅的兒子以實瑪利擄了他們,要往亞捫人那裏去。
11 And he heard Johanan [the] son of Kareah and all [the] commanders of the armies who [were] with him all the evil which he had done Ishmael [the] son of Nethaniah.
加利亞的兒子約哈難和同着他的眾軍長聽見尼探雅的兒子以實瑪利所行的一切惡,
12 And they took all the men and they went to do battle with Ishmael [the] son of Nethaniah and they found him to water great which [is] in Gibeon.
就帶領眾人前往,要和尼探雅的兒子以實瑪利爭戰,在基遍的大水旁遇見他。
13 And it was when saw all the people which [was] with Ishmael Johanan [the] son of Kareah and all [the] commanders of the armies who [were] with him and they were glad.
以實瑪利那裏的眾人看見加利亞的兒子約哈難和同着他的眾軍長,就都歡喜。
14 And they turned round all the people which he had taken captive Ishmael from Mizpah and they turned back and they went to Johanan [the] son of Kareah.
這樣,以實瑪利從米斯巴所擄去的眾人都轉身歸加利亞的兒子約哈難去了。
15 And Ishmael [the] son of Nethaniah he escaped with eight men from before Johanan and he went to [the] people of Ammon.
尼探雅的兒子以實瑪利和八個人脫離約哈難的手,逃往亞捫人那裏去了。
16 And he took Johanan [the] son of Kareah and all [the] commanders of the armies who [were] with him all [the] rest of the people which he had brought back from with Ishmael [the] son of Nethaniah from Mizpah after he had struck down Gedaliah [the] son of Ahikam men [the] men of war and women and little one[s] and court-officials whom he had brought back from Gibeon.
尼探雅的兒子以實瑪利殺了亞希甘的兒子基大利,從米斯巴將剩下的一切百姓、兵丁、婦女、孩童、太監擄到基遍之後,加利亞的兒子約哈難和同着他的眾軍長將他們都奪回來,
17 And they went and they remained at Geruth (Kimham *Q(K)*) which [is] beside Beth-lehem to go to go Egypt.
帶到靠近伯利恆的金罕寓住下,要進入埃及去;
18 From before the Chaldeans for they were afraid of them for he had struck down Ishmael [the] son of Nethaniah Gedaliah [the] son of Ahikam whom he had appointed [the] king of Babylon over the land.
因為尼探雅的兒子以實瑪利殺了巴比倫王所立為省長的亞希甘的兒子基大利,約哈難懼怕迦勒底人。
