Jeremiah 41
1 And it cometh to pass, in the seventh month, come hath Ishmael son of Nethaniah, son of Elishama, of the seed royal, and of the chiefs of the king, and ten men with him, unto Gedaliah son of Ahikam, to Mizpah, and they eat there bread together in Mizpah.
Nʼọnwa nke asaa, Ishmel nwa Netanaya, nwa Elishama, onye si nʼagbụrụ eze, na onye naara abụ otu nʼime ndịisi ozi eze, duuru ndị ikom iri bịa nʼụlọ Gedaliya nwa Ahikam na Mizpa. Mgbe Gedaliya soo ha niile na-eri nri,
2 And Ishmael son of Nethaniah riseth, and the ten men who have been with him, and they smite Gedaliah son of Ahikam, son of Shaphan, with the sword, and he putteth him to death whom the king of Babylon hath appointed over the land.
Ishmel nwa Netanaya na mmadụ iri ndị ahụ ya na ha so, biliri jiri mma agha tigbuo Gedaliya nwa Ahikam, nwa Shefan, bụ onye eze Babilọn họpụtara dịka onye na-achị ala ahụ niile.
3 And all the Jews who have been with him, with Gedaliah, in Mizpah, and the Chaldeans who have been found there — the men of war — hath Ishmael smitten.
Ishmel gbukwara ndị ikom Juda niile ha na Gedaliya nọ na Mizpa, gbukwaa ndị agha Babilọn nọkwa nʼebe ahụ.
4 And it cometh to pass, on the second day of the putting of Gedaliah to death, (and no one hath known, )
Nʼụbọchị na-eso ụbọchị ahụ ha gbusịrị Gedaliya, tupu mmadụ ọbụla anụ ihe banyere ya,
5 that men come in from Shechem, from Shiloh, and from Samaria — eighty men — with shaven beards, and rent garments, and cutting themselves, and an offering and frankincense in their hand, to bring in to the house of Jehovah.
o nwere iri mmadụ asatọ, bụ ndị kpụchara afụọnụ ha, dọwasịa uwe ha, gbukasịakwa onwe ha ahụ, sitere nʼobodo Shekem, na Shaịlo na Sameria buuru onyinye ịnata ihuọma, na ihe nsure ọkụ na-esi isi ụtọ na-abịa nʼụlọnsọ Onyenwe anyị.
6 And Ishmael son of Nethaniah goeth forth to meet them, from Mizpah, going on and weeping, and it cometh to pass, at meeting them, that he saith unto them, 'Come in unto Gedaliah son of Ahikam.'
Ishmel nwa Netanaya sitere na Mizpa pụọ izute ha, na-akwa akwa mgbe ọ na-aga. Mgbe o zutere ha, ọ sịrị ha, “Bịakwutenụ Gedaliya nwa Ahikam.”
7 And it cometh to pass, at their coming in unto the midst of the city, that Ishmael son of Nethaniah doth slaughter them, at the midst of the pit, he and the men who [are] with him.
Mgbe ha batara nʼobodo, Ishmel nwa Netanaya na ndị ikom ahụ bụ ndị so ya, gburu ndị ahụ tụnye ozu ha nʼime olulu.
8 And ten men have been found among them, and they say unto Ishmael, 'Do not put us to death, for we have things hidden in the field — wheat, and barley, and oil, and honey.' And he forbeareth, and hath not put them to death in the midst of their brethren.
Ma mmadụ iri nʼime ndị ahụ gwara Ishmel okwu sị ya, “Biko, egbula anyị, nʼihi na anyị nwere ọka wiiti na ọka balị, na mmanụ aṅụ anyị zoro nʼime ọhịa.” Nʼihi ya, o gbughị ha, kama ọ hapụrụ ha ndụ.
9 And the pit whither Ishmael hath cast all the carcases of the men whom he hath smitten along with Gedaliah, is that which the king Asa made because of Baasha king of Israel — it hath Ishmael son of Nethaniah filled with the pierced.
Olulu ahụ Ishmel tụnyere ozu Gedaliya na ozu ndị ọzọ ahụ niile bụ olulu nke Asa bụ eze gwuru maka ichebe Jerusalem mgbe Baasha eze Izrel na-ebuso ya agha. Ọ bụkwa ozu ndị mmadụ ka Ishmel, nwa Netanaya kpojuru nʼime olulu ahụ.
10 And Ishmael taketh captive all the remnant of the people who [are] in Mizpah, the daughters of the king, and all the people who are left in Mizpah, whom Nebuzar-Adan, chief of the executioners, hath committed [to] Gedaliah son of Ahikam, and Ishmael son of Nethaniah taketh them captive, and goeth to pass over unto the sons of Ammon.
Ishmel dọtakwara ndị niile fọdụrụ nʼime Mizpa nʼagha. Ọ dọtara ụmụ ndị inyom eze nʼagha, dọtakwa ndị ahụ niile a hapụrụ nʼebe ahụ, bụ ndị ahụ Nebuzaradan, ọchịagha ndị nche eze mere ka Gedaliya nwa Ahikam bụrụ onye na-achị ha. Ishmel nwa Netanaya dọtara ha niile nʼagha duru ha na-achọ ịgbapụ gaa nʼala ndị Amọn.
11 And hear doth Johanan son of Kareah, and all the heads of the forces that [are] with him, of all the evil that Ishmael son of Nethaniah hath done,
Mgbe Johanan nwa Kariya, na ndịisi agha ahụ niile ya na ha nọ nụrụ ihe ọjọọ Ishmel nwa Netanaya mere,
12 and they take all the men, and go to fight with Ishmael son of Nethaniah, and they find him at the great waters that [are] in Gibeon.
ha duuru ndị agha ha niile pụọ ibuso Ishmel nwa Netanaya agha. Ha chụkwutere ya nʼebe dị nso nʼiyi ukwu Gibiọn.
13 And it cometh to pass, when all the people who [are] with Ishmael see Johanan son of Kareah, and all the heads of the forces who [are] with him, that they rejoice.
Mgbe ndị ahụ niile Ishmel dọtara nʼagha hụrụ Johanan nwa Kariya na ndịisi agha so ya, ha ṅụrịrị ọṅụ.
14 And all the people whom Ishmael hath taken captive from Mizpah turn round, yea, they turn back, and go unto Johanan son of Kareah.
Ndị ahụ niile Ishmel dọtara nʼagha na Mizpa, chigharịrị gafee nʼebe Johanan nwa Kariya nọ.
15 And Ishmael son of Nethaniah hath escaped, with eight men, from the presence of Johanan, and he goeth unto the sons of Ammon.
Ma Ishmel nwa Netanaya, na mmadụ asatọ nʼime ndị agha ya, gbapụrụ ọsọ gbanarị Johanan. Ha gbalagara nʼala ndị Amọn.
16 And Johanan son of Kareah, and all the heads of the forces who [are] with him, take all the remnant of the people whom he hath brought back from Ishmael son of Nethaniah, from Mizpah — after he had smitten Gedaliah son of Ahikam — mighty ones, men of war, and women, and infants, and eunuchs, whom he had brought back from Gibeon,
Mgbe ahụ, Johanan nwa Kariya na ndịisi agha niile ya na ha so duuru ndị ahụ niile ha napụtara site nʼaka Ishmel pụọ, bụ ndị ahụ Ishmel nwa Netanaya dọtara nʼagha na Mizpa, mgbe o buuru ụzọ gbuo Gedaliya nwa Ahikam. Ndị ọzọ Johanan si na Gibiọn durukwa bụ ndị a, ndị agha, na ndị inyom, na ụmụntakịrị, na ndịisi ụlọ ikpe.
17 and they go and abide in the habitations of Chimham, that [are] near Beth-Lehem, to go to enter Egypt,
Ha duuru ha na-aga, ma kwụsị nʼobodo Gerut Kimham, nke dị nso na Betlehem, ebe ha bu nʼobi ịga Ijipt,
18 from the presence of the Chaldeans, for they have been afraid of them, for Ishmael son of Nethaniah had smitten Gedaliah son of Ahikam, whom the king of Babylon had appointed over the land.
nʼihi ịgbanarị ndị Babilọn. Ha tụrụ egwu ihe ndị Babilọn ga-eme ha nʼihi ogbugbu Ishmel nwa Netanaya gburu Gedaliya nwa Ahikam, onye eze Babilọn họpụtara ka ọ bụrụ onye na-achị ala ahụ.
