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.
Mu mwezi ogw’omusanvu Isimayiri mutabani wa Nesaniya, mutabani wa Erisaama, omu ku balangira ate nga ye omu ku bakulu b’eggye lya Yuda n’ajja n’abasajja kkumi eri Gedaliya mutabani wa Akikamu e Mizupa. Bwe baali nga balya,
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.
Isimayiri mutabani wa Nesaniya n’abasajja ekkumi abaali naye ne bayimuka ne batta Gedaliya, mutabani wa Akikamu, mutabani wa Safani, n’ekitala, gavana, kabaka w’e Babulooni gwe yali ataddewo okufuga mu nsi.
3 Then Ishmael killed all the Judeans who were with Gedaliah in Mizpah and the Chaldean fighting men found there.
Isimayiri n’atta n’Abayudaaya bonna abaali ne Gedaliya e Mizupa, n’abaserikale Abakaludaaya abaaliyo.
4 Then it was the second day after the killing of Gedaliah, but no one knew.
Olunaku olwaddirira Gedaliya ng’amaze okuttibwa, nga tewannabaawo akimanyiiko,
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.
abasajja kinaana abaali beemwedde ebirevu, nga bayuzizza engoye zaabwe era nga beesazeesaze, bajja okuva e Sekemu, ne Siiro ne Samaliya, nga baleese ekiweebwayo eky’emmere ey’empeke n’obubaane eby’omu nnyumba ya Mukama.
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!”
Isimayiri omwana wa Nesaniya n’ava e Mizupa okubasisinkana ng’agenda bw’akaaba. Bwe yabatuukako, n’abagamba nti, “Mujje eri Gedaliya omwana wa Akikamu.”
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.
Bwe baatuuka mu kibuga, Isimayiri mutabani wa Nesaniya n’abasajja be ne batta abamu ku basajja abo, ne babasuula mu kinnya.
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.
Naye kkumi ku bo ne bagamba Isimayiri nti, “Totutta! Tulina eŋŋaano ne sayiri, n’omuzigo, n’omubisi gw’enjuki, tubikwese mu nnimiro.” Awo ne babaleka ne batabattira wamu na bali abalala.
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.
Ekinnya mwe baasuula emirambo gy’abasajja bonna be battira awamu ne Gedaliya, kye kiri kabaka Asa kye yali asimye ng’alwanyisa Baasa kabaka wa Isirayiri. Isimayiri mutabani wa Nesaniya yakijjuza abafu.
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.
Isimayiri n’awamba abantu bonna abalala abaali e Mizupa, abawala ba kabaka n’abalala bonna abaali basigaddeyo, Nebuzaladaani omuduumizi w’eggye lya kabaka Nebukadduneeza be yali awadde Gedaliya mutabani wa Akikamu. Isimayiri mutabani wa Nesaniya n’abatwala nga bawambe ne yeetegeka okubasomosa okubatwala eri Abamoni.
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.
Yokanaani mutabani wa Kaleya n’abaduumizi bonna abaali naye bwe baawulira ebikolobero Isimayiri mutabani wa Nesaniya bye yali akoze,
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.
ne batwala abasajja baabwe bonna ne bagenda okulwanyisa Isimayiri mutabani wa Nesaniya. Ne bamutuukako okumpi n’amazzi amangi e Gibyoni.
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.
Abantu bonna abaali ne Isimayiri bwe baalaba Yokanaani mutabani wa Kaleya n’abaduumizi ba magye be yali nabo, ne basanyuka.
14 So all the people whom Ishmael had captured at Mizpah turned around and went to Johanan son of Kareah.
Abantu bonna Isimayiri be yali awambye e Mizupa ne bakyuka ne bagenda eri Yokanaani mutabani wa Kaleya.
15 But Ishmael son of Nethaniah fled with eight men from Johanan. He went to the people of Ammon.
Naye Isimayiri mutabani wa Nesaniya ne basajja be munaana ne batoloka okuva ku Yokanaani ne bagenda mu ba Amoni.
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.
Awo Yokanaani mutabani wa Kaleya n’abaduumizi b’eggye bonna abaali naye ne batwala abawambe okuva e Mizupa be baali baggye ku Isimayiri mutabani wa Nesaniya ng’amaze okutta Gedaliya mutabani wa Akikamu: abaserikale, n’abakazi, n’abaana n’abakungu b’omu lubiri be yali aggye e Gibyoni.
17 Then they went and stayed for a while in Geruth Kimham, which is near Bethlehem. They were going to go to Egypt
Ne beeyongerayo ne bayimirirako e Gerusukimamu okumpi ne Besirekemu, nga boolekedde e Misiri,
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.
badduke Abakaludaaya. Baali batidde Abakaludaaya kubanga Isimayiri mutabani wa Nesaniya yali asse Gedaliya mutabani wa Akikamu, oyo kabaka w’e Babulooni gwe yali ataddewo okufuga ensi nga gavana.
