< 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 son of Nethaniah son of Elishama of the seed royal and chiefs of the king, and ten men with him, came in, unto Gedaliah son of Ahikam, at Mizpah, —and they did there eat bread 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 arose Ishmael son of Nethaniah—and the ten men who were with him and they smote Gedaliah son of Ahikam son of Shaphan—with the sword and slew him whom the king of Babylon had set in charge, 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 Ishmael smote, all the Jews who were with him even with Gedaliah in Mizpah, and the Chaldeans who were found there the men of war.
4 Mũthenya ũrĩa warũmĩrĩire kũũragwo kwa Gedalia, ũhoro ũcio ũtamenyetwo nĩ mũndũ-rĩ,
And it came to pass, on the second day, after he had slain Gedaliah, not, a man, knowing 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 men came in from Shechem, from Shiloh, and from Samaria, —eighty men, with beards shaven and clothes rent who also had cut themselves, with a meal-offering and frankincense in their hand, to bring them into the house of Yahweh.
6 Ishumaeli mũrũ wa Nethania akiuma Mizipa, agĩthiĩ akĩrĩraga akamatũnge. Rĩrĩa maacemanirie akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Ũkaai kũrĩ Gedalia mũrũ wa Ahikamu.”
Then went forth Ishmael son of Nethaniah to meet them out of Mizpah, weeping all along as he went, —and it came to pass when he fell in with them, that he said unto them, Come ye in unto Gedaliah son of Ahikam.
7 Rĩrĩa maatoonyire thĩinĩ wa itũũra, Ishumaeli mũrũ wa Nethania na andũ arĩa maarĩ nake, makĩmooraga, makĩmaikia irima rĩa maaĩ.
And so it was when they had come into the midst of the city, that Ishmael son of Nethaniah slew them and cast them into the midst of a pit, he and the men who 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 unto Ishmael—Do not put us to death, for we have secret treasures in the field, wheat and barley and oil and honey, So he forbare and put them not to death in the midst of 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 whereinto Ishmael cast all the dead bodies of the men whom he had smitten, was a large pit which King Asa had made for fear of Baasha king of Israel, —the same, did Ishmael son of Nethaniah fill with the 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.
Then did Ishmael take captive all the remnant of the people that was in Mizpah, —the daughters of the king, and all the people that were left remaining in Mizpah, whom Nebuzaradan chief of the royal executioners had committed unto Gedaliah son of Ahikam, —yea Ishmael son of Nethaniah took them captive, and departed to pass over unto the sons 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 son of Kareah and all the captains of the forces who were with him heard of all the wickedness which Ishmael 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.
then took they all the men, and went their way to fight with Ishmael son of Nethaniah, —and found him near the many waters which were 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 it came to pass, when all the people who were with Ishmael saw Johanan son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces who were with him, then were they glad.
14 Andũ acio othe Ishumaeli aatahĩte kũu Mizipa nĩmahũndũkire, magĩthiĩ kũrĩ Johanani mũrũ wa Karea.
So all the people whom Ishmael had carried away captive out of Mizpah, compassed about, and returned and went their way unto Johanan son of Kareah.
15 Nowe Ishumaeli mũrũ wa Nethania na andũ ake anana nĩmetharire kuuma harĩ Johanani, makĩũrĩra kũrĩ andũ a Amoni.
But, Ishmael son of Nethaniah, escaped with eight men, from the face of Johanan, —and departed unto the sons 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 did Johanan son of Kareah and all the captains of the forces who were with him take all the remnant of the people whom he had recovered from Ishmael son of Nethaniah out of Mizpah, after he had smitten Gedaliah son of Ahikam, —mighty men, men of war, and women and children and eunuchs, whom he had recovered out of Gibeon;
17 Nao magĩthiĩ na mbere, makĩraarĩrĩra Geruthu-Kimuhamu gũkuhĩ na Bethilehemu marĩ rũgendo-inĩ rwa gũthiĩ bũrũri wa Misiri,
and they departed, and dwelt in the khan of Chimham, which is near Bethlehem, —that they might go to enter 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.
because of the Chaldeans, for they were afraid of them, —because Ishmael son of Nethaniah had smitten Gedaliah son of Ahikam, whom the king of Babylon had set in charge over the land.
