到了七月,厄里沙瑪的孫子,乃塔尼雅的兒子依市瑪耳──他是王家的後代,是君王的大臣──帶了十個人來到米茲帕阿希甘的兒子革達里雅那裏;當他們在米茲帕一同進餐時,
2 Forsothe Ismael, the sone of Nathanye, and the ten men that weren with hym, risiden vp, and killiden bi swerd Godolie, the sone of Aicham, sone of Saphan; and thei killiden hym, whom the kyng of Babiloyne hadde maad souereyn of the lond.
乃塔尼雅的兒子依市瑪耳和他帶來的十個人就起來,拔刀擊殺了巴比倫王委派管理地方的沙番的孫子,阿希甘的兒子革達里雅。
3 Also Ismael killide alle the Jewis, that weren with Godolie in Masphath, and the Caldeis, that weren foundun there, and the men werriours.
凡在米茲帕與達里雅在一起的猶太人,和在那裏偶然相遇的加色丁兵士,依市瑪耳也都擊殺了。
4 Forsothe in the secounde dai, aftir that he hadde slayn Godolie, while no man wiste yit,
革達里雅被害後第二天,人尚一無所知。
5 foure scoor men with schauen beerdis, and to-rent clothis, and pale men, camen fro Sichem, and fro Silo, and fro Samarie; and thei hadden yiftis and encense in the hond, for to offre in the hous of the Lord.
有八十個人從舍根、史羅、撒瑪黎雅前來,都剃去了鬍鬚,撕破了衣服,割傷了身體,手裏拿著素祭祭品和乳香,要帶到上主殿宇去,
6 Therfor Ismael, the sone of Nathanye, yede out of Masphath in to the metyng of hem; and he yede goynge and wepynge. Sotheli whanne he hadde met hem, he seide to hem, Come ye to Godolie, the sone of Aicham;
沿途且走且哭。乃塔尼雅的兒子依市瑪耳從米茲帕出來迎接他們,一遇見他們就對他們說:「你們往阿希甘的兒子革達里雅那裏去罷! 」
7 and whanne thei weren comun to the myddis of the citee, Ismael, the sone of Nathanye, killide hem aboute the myddis of the lake, he and the men that weren with hym `killiden hem.
他們到了城市中心,乃塔尼雅的兒子依市瑪耳和自己的部下就將他們殺了,扔在蓄水池裏。
8 But ten men weren foundun among hem, that seiden to Ismael, Nyle thou sle vs, for we han tresour of wheete, and of barli, and of oile, and of hony, in the feeld. And he ceesside, and killide not hem with her britheren.
其中有十個人卻對依市瑪耳說:「不要殺害我們,因為我們在田野裏藏有油、蜜、大麥和小麥。」他遂即住手,沒有將他們與他們的弟兄一同殺掉。
9 Forsothe the lake in to which Ismael castide forth alle the careyns of men, whiche he killide for Godolie, is thilke lake, which kyng Asa made for Baasa, the kyng of Israel; Ismael, the sone of Nathanye, fillide that lake with slayn men.
依市瑪耳將所殺之人的屍首,丟在那裏的一個蓄水池內,那是一個很大的蓄水池,原是阿撒君王為對抗以色列君王巴厄沙而建造的;乃塔尼雅的兒子依市瑪耳用自己所殺之人的屍首填滿了這蓄水池。
10 And Ismael ledde prisoneris alle the remenauntis of the puple, that weren in Mesphath, the douytris of the kyng, and al the puple that dwelliden in Masphath, whiche Nabusardan, the prince of chyualrie, hadde bitakun to kepyng to Godolie, the sone of Aicham. And Ismael, the sone of Nathanye, took hem, and yede to passe ouer to the sones of Amon.
以後依市瑪耳擄去了留在米茲帕的遺民和王室閨秀,以及還留在米茲帕所有的人民:這些人,原是衛隊長乃步匝辣當委託給阿希甘的兒子革達里雅的;乃塔尼雅的兒子依市瑪耳卻將他們擄走,投往阿孟子民那裏去。
11 Forsothe Johannan, the sone of Caree, and alle the princes of werriouris, that weren with hym, herden al the yuel, which Ismael, the sone of Nathanye, hadde do.
卡勒亞的兒子約哈南和隨從他的其餘部隊首領,得知乃塔尼雅的兒子依市瑪耳所做的一切惡事,
12 And whanne thei hadden take alle men, thei yeden forth to fiyte ayens Ismael, the sone of Nathanye; and thei foundun hym at the many watris, that ben in Gabaon.
就帶領自己所左的部下,去攻擊乃塔尼雅的兒子依市瑪耳,在基貝紅大水池旁與他相遇。
13 And whanne al the puple, that was with Ismael, hadden seyn Johannan, the sone of Caree, and alle the princes of werriouris, that weren with hym, thei weren glad.
與依市耳瑪在一起的全體人民,一見卡勒亞的兒子約哈南和隨他前來的眾部隊首領,無不喜出望外。
14 And al the puple, whom Ismael hadde take in Masphath, turnede ayen; and it turnede ayen, and yede to Johannan, the sone of Caree.
依市瑪耳從米茲帕擄來的全體人民,都轉身歸順卡勒亞的兒子約哈南;
15 Forsothe Ismael, the sone of Nathanye, fledde with eiyte men fro the face of Johannan, and yede to the sones of Amon.
只有乃塔尼雅的兒子依市瑪耳和八個人,由約哈南面前逃脫,跑到阿孟子民那裏去了。
16 Therfor Johannan, the sone of Caree, and alle the princes of werriours, that weren with hym, token alle the remenauntis of the comyn puple, whiche thei brouyten ayen fro Ismael, the sone of Nathanye, that weren of Masphat, aftir that he killide Godolie, the sone of Aicham; he took strong men to batel, and wymmen, and children, and geldyngis, whiche he hadde brouyt ayen fro Gabaon.
卡勒亞的兒子約哈南與隨從自己的眾部隊首領,就接收了乃塔尼雅的兒子依市瑪耳,在謀害阿希甘的兒子革達里雅後,從米茲帕擄走的全部遺民,能作戰的男子和婦女,幼童及宦官,從基貝紅將他們帶回來,
17 And thei yeden, and saten beynge pilgryms in Canaan, which is bisidis Bethleem, that thei schulden go, and entre in to Egipt fro the face of Caldeis;
一路前行,在靠近白冷的革魯特基默罕住下,有意進入埃及,
18 for thei dredden thilke Caldeis, for Ismael, the sone of Nathanye, hadde slayn Godolie, the sone of Aicham, whom the kyng Nabugodonosor hadde maad souereyn in the lond of Juda.
遠避加色丁人。他們實在害怕見到加色丁人,因為乃塔尼雅的兒子依市瑪耳,謀殺了巴比倫王委派管理地方的阿希甘的兒子革達里雅。
