Jeremia 41
1 Mweri-inĩ wa mũgwanja Ishumaeli mũrũ wa Nethania, mũrũ wa Elishama, ũrĩa warĩ wa rũciaro rwa mũthamaki na mbere aakoretwo arĩ ũmwe wa anene a mũthamaki, nĩookire arĩ na andũ ikũmi kũrĩ Gedalia mũrũ wa Ahikamu kũu Mizipa. Na rĩrĩa maarĩ hamwe makĩrĩa-rĩ,
And it came to pass in the seventh month, that Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, the son of Elishama, of the blood royal, and one of the great officers of the king, and ten men with him, came to Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam, to Mizpah; and they ate bread there together in Mizpah.
2 Ishumaeli mũrũ wa Nethania hamwe na andũ acio ikũmi mokĩte nake magĩũkĩra, magĩtemanga Gedalia mũrũ wa Ahikamu, mũrũ wa Shafani na rũhiũ rwa njora, makĩũraga mũndũ ũcio mũthamaki wa Babuloni aatuĩte barũthi wa bũrũri ũcio.
Then Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, arose, and the ten men that were with him, and smote Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, with the sword, and slew him whom the king of Babylon had made governor over the land.
3 Ishumaeli agĩcooka akĩũraga Ayahudi othe arĩa maarĩ na Gedalia kũu Mizipa, o ũndũ ũmwe na thigari cia Babuloni iria ciarĩ kuo.
And all the Jews that were with him, with Gedaliah at Mizpah, and the Chaldaeans that were found there, the men of war, did Ishmael smite.
4 Mũthenya ũrĩa warũmĩrĩire kũũragwo kwa Gedalia, ũhoro ũcio ũtamenyetwo nĩ mũndũ-rĩ,
And it came to pass, the second day after he had slain Gedaliah, and no man knew it,
5 andũ mĩrongo ĩnana meyenjete nderu, na magatembũranga nguo ciao, o na magetemanga mĩĩrĩ nĩmookire moimĩte Shekemu, na Shilo, na Samaria, marĩ na ngano ya maruta na ũbumba, magĩcirehe thĩinĩ wa nyũmba ya Jehova.
that there came certain men from Shechem, from Shiloh, and from Samaria, fourscore persons, having their beards shaven, and their clothes rent, and having cut themselves, with an oblation and incense in their hands, to bring to the house of Jehovah.
6 Ishumaeli mũrũ wa Nethania akiuma Mizipa, agĩthiĩ akĩrĩraga akamatũnge. Rĩrĩa maacemanirie akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Ũkaai kũrĩ Gedalia mũrũ wa Ahikamu.”
And Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, went forth from Mizpah to meet them, weeping all along as he went; and when he met them, he said to them, “Come ye to Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam.”
7 Rĩrĩa maatoonyire thĩinĩ wa itũũra, Ishumaeli mũrũ wa Nethania na andũ arĩa maarĩ nake, makĩmooraga, makĩmaikia irima rĩa maaĩ.
And when they had come into the midst of the city, Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, slew them, and cast them into the pit, he and the men that were with him.
8 No rĩrĩ, andũ ikũmi thĩinĩ wao makĩĩra Ishumaeli atĩrĩ, “Tiga gũtũũraga! Tũrĩ na ngano na cairi, na maguta na ũũkĩ iria tũhithĩte werũ-inĩ.” Nĩ ũndũ ũcio agĩtigana nao na ndaamooragire hamwe na acio angĩ.
But ten men were found among them who said to Ishmael, “Slay us not, for we have hidden stores in the field, of wheat, and barley, and oil, and honey.” He forbore, therefore, and slew them not with their brethren.
9 Na rĩrĩ, irima rĩu aikirie ciimba cia andũ acio othe ooragĩte, hamwe na kĩimba kĩa Gedalia, rĩenjithĩtio nĩ Mũthamaki Asa rĩtuĩke kĩĩhitho gĩake rĩrĩa angĩtharĩkĩrwo nĩ Baasha mũthamaki wa Isiraeli. Ishumaeli mũrũ wa Nethania akĩrĩiyũria ciimba cia andũ acio moragĩtwo.
Now the pit into which Ishmael cast all the dead bodies of the men whom he slew, together with Gedaliah, is the same which King Asa made on account of Baasha, king of Israel; and Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, filled it with them that were slain.
10 Ishumaeli nĩanyiitire mĩgwate andũ acio angĩ othe arĩa maikaraga Mizipa, akĩmataha: nao maarĩ airĩtu a mũthamaki, hamwe na andũ acio angĩ othe arĩa maatigĩtwo kuo, arĩa Nebuzaradani ũcio mũnene wa arangĩri a mũthamaki aatuĩte maroragwo nĩ Gedalia mũrũ wa Ahikamu. Ishumaeli mũrũ wa Nethania nĩamatahire akiumagara nao, agĩtuĩkania erekeire mũrĩmo wa andũ a Amoni akeeneane kũrĩ o.
And Ishmael took captive all the residue of the people that were in Mizpah, the king's daughters, and all the people that remained in Mizpah, whom Nebuzaradan, captain of the guard, had committed to the charge of Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam; even Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, took them captive, and set forth to go over [[the Jordan]] to the children of Ammon.
11 Rĩrĩa Johanani mũrũ wa Karea, na anene othe a mbũtũ cia ita arĩa maarĩ nake maiguire ũhoro wa ngero icio ciothe Ishumaeli mũrũ wa Nethania aagerete-rĩ,
But when Johanan, the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces that were with him, heard of all the evil which Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, had done,
12 makĩoya andũ ao othe na makiumagara makarũe na Ishumaeli mũrũ wa Nethania. Nao makĩmũkorerera hakuhĩ na handũ haarĩ maaĩ maingĩ kũu Gibeoni.
they took all the men, and went up to fight with Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, and came up with him at the great waters that are in Gibeon.
13 Rĩrĩa andũ acio othe Ishumaeli aarĩ nao monire Johanani mũrũ wa Karea na anene a mbũtũ cia ita acio maarĩ nake-rĩ, othe magĩkena.
And when all the people which were with Ishmael saw Johanan, the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces that were with him, they were glad;
14 Andũ acio othe Ishumaeli aatahĩte kũu Mizipa nĩmahũndũkire, magĩthiĩ kũrĩ Johanani mũrũ wa Karea.
and all the people that Ishmael had carried away captive from Mizpah faced about and returned, and went to Johanan, the son of Kareah.
15 Nowe Ishumaeli mũrũ wa Nethania na andũ ake anana nĩmetharire kuuma harĩ Johanani, makĩũrĩra kũrĩ andũ a Amoni.
But Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, escaped from Johanan with eight men, and went to the children of Ammon.
16 Hĩndĩ ĩyo Johanani mũrũ wa Karea na anene othe a mbũtũ cia ita acio maarĩ nake, magĩtongoria arĩa othe maatigaire kuuma Mizipa, o acio aatunyanĩte harĩ Ishumaeli mũrũ wa Nethania thuutha wake kũũraga Gedalia mũrũ wa Ahikamu: Nao maarĩ thigari, na andũ-a-nja, na ciana, o na andũ arĩa mehokeirwo mawĩra ma nyũmba ya mũthamaki, arĩa aacooketie kuuma Gibeoni.
Then took Johanan, the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces that were with him, all the remnant of the people whom he had recovered from Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, from Mizpah, after he had slain Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam, strong men, men of war, and women, and children, and eunuchs, whom he had brought back from Gibeon;
17 Nao magĩthiĩ na mbere, makĩraarĩrĩra Geruthu-Kimuhamu gũkuhĩ na Bethilehemu marĩ rũgendo-inĩ rwa gũthiĩ bũrũri wa Misiri,
and they went, and tarried in the inn of Chimham, which is near Bethlehem, in order to flee into Egypt
18 nĩguo moorĩre andũ a Babuloni. Nĩmetigagĩra andũ a Babuloni tondũ Ishumaeli mũrũ wa Nethania nĩooragĩte Gedalia mũrũ wa Ahikamu, ũrĩa watuĩtwo barũthi nĩ mũthamaki wa Babuloni.
from the Chaldaeans; for they were afraid of them, because Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, had slain Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam, whom the king of Babylon had made governor over the land.
