< Jeremiah 41 >

1 But it happened that in the seventh month Ishmael son of Nethaniah son of Elishama, from the royal family, and some officers of the king, came—ten men were with him—to Gedaliah son of Ahikam, at Mizpah. They ate food together there in Mizpah.
E dwe mar abiriyo Ishmael wuod Nethania, ma wuod Elishama, mane aa e anywola mar joka ruoth kendo ma bende ne achiel kuom jotend ruoth, nobiro Mizpa gi ji apar ir Gedalia wuod Ahikam. E kinde mane gichiemo kanyakla kanyo,
2 But Ishmael son of Nethaniah, and the ten men who were with him rose up and attacked Gedaliah son of Ahikam son of Shaphan, with the sword. Ishmael killed Gedaliah, whom the king of Babylon had put in charge of the land.
Ishmael wuod Nethania kod ji apar mane ni kode nochungʼ malo kendo onego Gedalia wuod Ahikam, ma wuod Shafan, gi ligangla, ma ginego ngʼatno ma ruodh Babulon noyiero kaka jatelo e pinyno.
3 Then Ishmael killed all the Judeans who were with Gedaliah in Mizpah and the Chaldean fighting men found there.
Ishmael nonego bende jo-Yahudi duto mane nigi Gedalia Mizpa, kaachiel gi jolwenj Babulon mane ni kanyo.
4 Then it was the second day after the killing of Gedaliah, but no one knew.
Kinyne ka Gedalia nosenegi, ka pod ngʼato angʼata ne ok ongʼeyo wachni,
5 Some men came from Shechem, from Shiloh, and from Samaria—eighty men who had shaved their beard, torn their clothes, and cut themselves—with food offerings and frankincense in their hands to go to Yahweh's house.
chwo piero aboro mane olielo tikgi mapoth, manoyiecho lepgi kendo mongʼado dendgi nobiro koa Shekem, Shilo kod Samaria, ka gikelo chiwo mar cham gi ubani e od Jehova Nyasaye.
6 So Ishmael son of Nethaniah went out from Mizpah to meet them as they went, walking and weeping. Then it happened that as he encountered them, he said to them, “Come to Gedaliah son of Ahikam!”
Ishmael wuod Nethania noa Mizpa mondo orom kodgi, ka oywak e sache mane odhi. Kane oromo kodgi, nowachonegi niya, “Biuru ir Gedalia wuod Ahikam.”
7 It came about that when they came into the city, Ishmael son of Nethaniah slaughtered them and threw them into a pit, he and the men who were with him.
Kane gidhi e dala maduongʼ, Ishmael wuod Nethania kod chwo mane ni kode nonegogi mi owitogi ei bur.
8 But there were ten men among them who said to Ishmael, “Do not kill us, for there are provisions of ours in a field: Wheat and barley, oil and honey.” So he did not kill them with their other companions.
To ji apar kuomgi nowachone Ishmael niya, “Kik inegwa! Wan gi ngano kod shairi gi mo, kod mor kich, mwapando e puothe.” Omiyo noweyogi kendo ne ok onegogi gi joma moko.
9 The cistern where Ishmael threw all the dead bodies that he had killed, was a large cistern that King Asa dug to make a defense against King Baasha of Israel. Ishmael son of Nethaniah filled it in with the dead.
Koro buche mane owitoe ringre chwo duto mane osenego kaachiel gi Gedalia ne en mano mane Ruoth Asa oloso kaka kar pondone kane okedo gi Baasha ruodh Israel. Ishmael wuod Nethania nopongʼe gi ringre joma otho.
10 Next Ishmael captured all the other people who were in Mizpah, the king's daughters and all the people who were left in Mizpah whom Nebuzaradan the chief guard had assigned to Gedaliah son of Ahikam. So Ishmael son of Nethaniah captured them and went to cross over to the people of Ammon.
Ishmael nomako jogo mane odongʼ duto ei Mizpa mane gin nyi ruoth kaachiel gi jogo duto mane odongʼ kanyo, jogo mane Nebuzaradan jatend lweny mar piny noketo Gedalia wuod Ahikam mondo oriti. Ishmael wuod Nethania nomakogi kendo negichako ka gingʼado gidhi loka Amon.
11 But Johanan son of Kareah and all the army commanders with him heard of all the harm that Ishmael son of Nethaniah had done.
Ka Johanan wuod Karea kod jotend lweny duto mane ni kode nowinjo timbe njore duto mane Ishmael wuod Nethania nosetimo,
12 So they took all their men and went to fight against Ishmael son of Nethaniah. They found him at the great pool of Gibeon.
negikawo jolweny mag-gi duto mi gidhi mondo giked gi Ishmael wuod Nethania. Ne gijuke but pi maduongʼ man Gibeon.
13 Then it happened that when all the people who were with Ishmael saw Johanan son of Kareah and all the army commanders who were with him, they were very happy.
Ka jogo mane nigi Ishmael omako noneno Johanan wuod Karea kod jotend lweny mane ni kode, negimor.
14 So all the people whom Ishmael had captured at Mizpah turned around and went to Johanan son of Kareah.
Jogo duto mane Ishmael omako Mizpa nolokore modhi ir Johanan wuod Karea.
15 But Ishmael son of Nethaniah fled with eight men from Johanan. He went to the people of Ammon.
To Ishmael wuod Nethania kod joge aboro notony oa ir Johanan mi giringo gidhi ir jo-Amon.
16 Johanan son of Kareah and all the army commanders with him took from Mizpah all the people who had been rescued from Ishmael son of Nethaniah. This was after Ishmael had killed Gedaliah son of Ahikam. Johanan and his companions took the strong men, the fighting men, the women and children, and the eunuchs who had been rescued at Gibeon.
Eka Johanan wuod Karea kod jotend lweny duto mane ni kode nokawo joma notony duto mane oa Mizpa, ma noreso e lwet Ishmael wuod Nethania bangʼ kane osenego Gedalia wuod Ahikam; mane gin jolweny, mon, nyithindo kod jodongo mane obirogo koa Gibeon.
17 Then they went and stayed for a while in Geruth Kimham, which is near Bethlehem. They were going to go to Egypt
Kendo negidhi nyime, ma gichungʼ Geruth Kimham but Bethlehem ka gidhi Misri,
18 because of the Chaldeans. They were afraid of them since Ishmael son of Nethaniah had killed Gedaliah son of Ahikam, whom the king of Babylon had put in charge of the land.
mondo gipondne jo-Babulon. Ne giluorogi nikech Ishmael wuod Nethania nosenego Gedalia wuod Ahikam, mane ruodh Babulon oyiero kaka jatelo e pinyno.
