Jeremiah 41
1 Now in the seventh month, Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, the son of Elishama, of the royal offspring and one of the chief officers of the king, and ten men with him, came to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam to Mizpah; and there they ate bread together in Mizpah.
A hla rhih dongla a pha vaengah mangpa tiingan lamkah Elishama koca, Nethaniah capa Ishmael neh manghai kah mangpa rhoek neh a taengkah hlang parha he, Mizpah kah Ahikam capa Gedaliah taengla ha pawk tih Mizpah ah thikat la buh pahoi a caak uh.
2 Then Ishmael the son of Nethaniah arose, and the ten men who were with him, and struck Gedaliah the son of Ahikam the son of Shaphan with the sword and killed him, whom the king of Babylon had made governor over the land.
Te phoeiah Nethaniah capa Ishmael neh a taengkah aka om hlang parha te thoo uh tih Shaphan koca Ahikam capa Gedaliah te cunghang neh a tloek uh tih amah la a duek sak uh. Anih ni Babylon manghai loh khohmuen kah ham a khueh dae.
3 Ishmael also killed all the Jews who were with Gedaliah at Mizpah, and the Chaldean men of war who were found there.
Mizpah kah Gedaliah taengah aka om Judah boeih neh Khalden kah caemtloek hlang a hmuh rhoek te tah Ishmael loh a ngawn.
4 The second day after he had killed Gedaliah, and no man knew it,
Gedaliah a duek te khohnin pabae dongla a pha duela hlang loh a ming moenih.
5 men came from Shechem, from Shiloh, and from Samaria, even eighty men, having their beards shaved and their clothes torn, and having cut themselves, with meal offerings and frankincense in their hand, to bring them to Yahweh’s house.
Te dongah Shekhem lamkah, Shiloh lamkah, Samaria lamkah khaw hlang rhoek te ha pawk uh. Hlang sawmrhet loh hmuimul a vok tih himbai pawn neh a saa a hlap doela a kut dongkah khocang neh hmueihtui te BOEIPA im la a khuen uh.
6 Ishmael the son of Nethaniah went out from Mizpah to meet them, weeping all along as he went, and as he met them, he said to them, “Come to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam.”
Amih aka doe la Nethaniah capa Ishmael te Mizpah lamloh cet. A caeh a caeh vaengah tah aka rhap khaw ana om tih amih te a hum uh vaengah tah amih te, “Ahikam capa Gedaliah taengla ha mop uh laeh,” a ti nah.
7 It was so, when they came into the middle of the city, that Ishmael the son of Nethaniah killed them, and cast them into the middle of the pit, he, and the men who were with him.
Amih te khopuei khui la a pawk vaengah tah Nethaniah capa Ishmael neh a taengkah hlang rhoek loh tangrhom khui la a ngawn uh.
8 But ten men were found among those who said to Ishmael, “Don’t kill us; for we have stores hidden in the field, of wheat, and of barley, and of oil, and of honey.” So he stopped, and didn’t kill them among their brothers.
Tedae amih khuikah hlang parha loh a hmuh vaengah Ishmael te, “Kaimih he n'duek sak boeh, kamamih taengah khohmuen kah kawn la cang neh cangtun khaw, situi neh khoitui khaw om pueng,” a ti na uh. Te dongah a toeng tih a manuca lakli ah amih te duek sak pawh.
9 Now the pit in which Ishmael cast all the dead bodies of the men whom he had killed, by the side of Gedaliah (this was that which Asa the king had made for fear of Baasha king of Israel), Ishmael the son of Nethaniah filled it with those who were killed.
Gedaliah kut dongkah a ngawn hlang rhok boeih te Ishmael loh tangrhom khuila pahoi a voeih. Tekah te Israel manghai Baasha maelhmai kongah ni manghai Asa loh a saii dae Nethaniah capa Ishmael loh rhok a hah sak.
10 Then Ishmael carried away captive all of the people who were left in Mizpah, even the king’s daughters, and all the people who remained in Mizpah, whom Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard had committed to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam. Ishmael the son of Nethaniah carried them away captive, and departed to go over to the children of Ammon.
Mizpah kah pilnam a meet boeih, imtawt boeiping Nebuzaradan loh Ahikam capa Gedaliah a hip sak manghai canu rhoek khaw, Mizpah ah aka sueng pilnam boeih khaw Ishmael loh a sol. Amih te a sol phoeiah Nethaniah capa Ishmael te cet tih Ammon koca rhoek te a paan.
11 But when Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces who were with him, heard of all the evil that Ishmael the son of Nethaniah had done,
Nethaniah capa Ishmael loh boethae a saii boeih te Kareah capa Johanan neh a taengkah caem mangpa rhoek loh boeih a yaak.
12 then they took all the men, and went to fight with Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, and found him by the great waters that are in Gibeon.
Te dongah hlang te boeih a khuen tih Nethaniah capa Ishmael vathoh thil hamla cet uh. Te vaengah anih te Gibeon kah tui puei taengah a hmuh uh.
13 Now when all the people who were with Ishmael saw Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces who were with him, then they were glad.
Ishmael taengkah pilnam boeih loh Kareah capa Johanan neh a taengkah caem mangpa boeih te a hmuh uh vaengah a kohoe uh.
14 So all the people who Ishmael had carried away captive from Mizpah turned about and came back, and went to Johanan the son of Kareah.
Mizpah ah Ishmael kah a sol pilnam khaw boeih cet uh. Tedae a mael uh vaengah tah Kareah capa Johanan taengla mael uh.
15 But Ishmael the son of Nethaniah escaped from Johanan with eight men, and went to the children of Ammon.
Te vaengah Nethaniah capa Ishmael tah hlang parhet neh Johanan mikhmuh lamloh vi uh tih Ammon koca rhoek taengla cet.
16 Then Johanan the son of Kareah and all the captains of the forces who were with him took all the remnant of the people whom he had recovered from Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, from Mizpah, after he had killed Gedaliah the son of Ahikam—the men of war, with the women, the children, and the eunuchs, whom he had brought back from Gibeon.
Kareah capa Johanan neh amah taengkah caem mangpa boeih loh Nethaniah capa Ishmael taengkah pilnam a meet boeih te Mizpah lamkah a loh. Ahikam capa Gedaliah a ngawn phoeiah tah hlang he caemtloek tongpa rhoek khaw, huta camoe khaw, imkhoem rhoek khaw Gibeon lamloh a mael puei.
17 They departed and lived in Geruth Chimham, which is by Bethlehem, to go to enter into Egypt
A caeh uh vaengah Egypt la aka pawk te paan ham Bethlehem kaep Khimham kah Khimham imhmuen ah kho a sak uh.
18 because of the Chaldeans; for they were afraid of them, because Ishmael the son of Nethaniah had killed Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, whom the king of Babylon made governor over the land.
Babylon manghai loh khohmuen a hung sak Ahikam capa Gedaliah te Nethaniah capa Ishmael loh a ngawn dongah a mikhmuh kah Khalden rhoek te khaw a rhih uh.
