< Jeremi 41 >
1 Nan setyèm mwa a, Izmayèl, pitit Netanya, pitit pitit Elichama, rive Mispa ansanm ak dis lòt moun pou li vin wè Gedalya, pitit Akikam. Izmayèl te yon ti fanmi wa a. Se te yon gwo chèf nan gouvènman wa a. Pandan yo chita konsa sou tab ap manje lakay Gedalya,
But in the seuenth moneth came Ishmael the sonne of Nethaniah, the sonne of Elishama of the seede royall, and the princes of the King, and tenne men with him, vnto Gedaliah the sonne of Ahikam to Mizpah, and there they did eate bread together in Mizpah.
2 Izmayèl leve ansanm ak dis moun li yo, yo rale nepe yo, yo touye Gedalya, nonm wa Babilòn lan te mete pou gouvènen peyi a.
Then arose Ishmael the sonne of Nethaniah with these tenne men that were with him, and smote Gedaliah the sonne of Ahikam the sonne of Shaphan with the sword, and slewe him, whom the King of Babel had made gouernour ouer the lande.
3 Apre sa, yo touye tout gason jwif ki te lavil Mispa avèk Gedalya. Yo touye tout sòlda moun Babilòn ki te la tou.
Ishmael also slewe all the Iewes that were with Gedaliah at Mizpah, and all the Caldeans that were found there, and the men of warre.
4 Yo te fin ansasinen Gedalya a depi de jou, nouvèl la pa t' ankò gaye.
Now the second day that he had slaine Gedaliah, and no man knewe it,
5 Se konsa katreven gason ki te soti lavil Sichèm, lavil Silo ak lavil Samari vin rive. Yo te koupe tout bab nan figi yo, yo te gen rad chire sou yo, tout kò yo te plen mak kouto. Yo te pote grenn jaden ak lansan pou ofri nan tanp Jerizalèm lan.
There came men from Shechem, from Shiloh, and from Samaria, euen fourescore men, hauing their beardes shauen, and their clothes rent and cut, with offerings and incense in their hands to offer in the house of the Lord.
6 Izmayèl kite Mispa, li soti al kontre yo, de ran dlo nan je l'. Lè li rive sou yo li di konsa: -Vini non, ann al kay Gedalya!
And Ishmael the sonne of Nethaniah went forth from Mizpah to meete them, weeping as he went: and when he met them, he said vnto them, Come to Gedaliah the sonne of Ahikam.
7 Men rive yo rive nan mitan lavil Mispa, Izmayèl ansanm ak mesye l' yo touye yo, lèfini yo lage kadav yo nan yon sitèn.
And when they came into the middes of the citie, Ishmael the sonne of Nethaniah slewe them, and cast them into the middes of the pit, he and the men that were with him.
8 Men gen dis nan moun sa yo ki te di Izmayèl konsa: -Pa touye nou paske nou gen pwovizyon kache nan jaden nou yo, ble, lòj, lwil ak siwo myèl. Se konsa Izmayèl pa t' touye sa yo ansanm ak lòt yo.
But tenne men were founde among them, that saide vnto Ishmael, Slay vs not: for we haue treasures in the fielde, of wheate, and of barley, and of oyle, and of honie: so he stayed, and slew them not among their brethren.
9 Sitèn kote Izmayèl te jete kadav moun li te touye yo, se gwo sitèn wa Asa te fè fouye lè Basa, wa peyi Izrayèl la, te vin atake l' la. Se sitèn sa a Izmayèl te plen ak kadav yo.
Now the pit wherein Ishmael had cast the dead bodies of the men (whom he had slayne because of Gedaliah) is it, which Asa the King had made because of Basha King of Israel, and Ishmael the sonne of Nethaniah filled it with them that were slaine.
10 Apre sa, Izmayèl mache pran tout pitit fi wa a ansanm ak tout rès moun ki te lavil Mispa, moun Neboucharadan, chèf lagad la, te kite sou kont Gedalya. Li fè yo prizonye. Li pati ak yo, li pran direksyon peyi moun Amon yo.
Then Ishmael caryed away captiue all the residue of the people that were in Mizpah, euen the Kings daughters, and all the people that remained in Mizpah, whom Nebuzar-adan the chiefe steward had committed to Gedaliah the sonne of Ahikam, and Ishmael the sonne of Nethaniah caried them away captiue, and departed to goe ouer to the Ammonites.
11 Jokanan, pitit Karejak la, ansanm ak lòt chèf lame ki te avè l' yo vin konnen tout mechanste Izmayèl, pitit Netanya a, te fè.
But when Iohanan the sonne of Kareah, and all the captaines of the hoste that were with him, heard of all the euill that Ishmael the sonne of Nethaniah had done,
12 Yo pran tout sòlda yo, yo pati dèyè l'. Yo jwenn li bò gwo letan Gabawon an.
Then they all tooke their men, and went to fight with Ishmael the sonne of Nethaniah, and founde him by ye great waters that are in Gibeon.
13 Lè moun Izmayèl te fè prizonye yo wè Jokanan avèk chèf lame ki avè l' yo, yo te kontan.
Nowe when all the people whom Ishmael caryed away captiue, sawe Iohanan the sonne of Kareah, and all the captaines of the hoste, that were with him, they were glad.
14 Lè sa a, tout moun Izmayèl te fè prizonye lavil Mispa yo kase tèt tounen, yo kouri vin jwenn Jokanan.
So all the people, that Ishmael had caryed away captiue from Mizpah, returned and came againe, and went vnto Iohanan the sonne of Kareah.
15 Izmayèl menm ansanm ak wit nan moun pa l' yo kouri pou Jokanan, yo chape kò yo nan peyi Amon an.
But Ishmael the sonne of Nethaniah, escaped from Iohanan with eight men, and went to the Ammonites.
16 Apre sa, Jokanan ak chèf lame ki te avè l' yo pran sou kont yo tout moun Izmayèl te fè prizonye lavil Mispa apre li menm Izmayèl te fin touye Gedalya a. Jokanan pran avè l' gason yo, ki vle di sòlda yo, fanm yo, timoun yo, moun konfyans yo, tout moun li te jwenn lavil Gabawon.
Then tooke Iohanan the sonne of Kareah, and all the captaines of the hoste that were with him, all the remnant of the people, whom Ishmael the sonne of Nethaniah had caried away captiue from Mizpah, (after that he had slaine Gedaliah the sonne of Ahikam) euen the strong men of warre, and the women, and the children, and the eunuches, whom hee had brought againe from Gibeon:
17 Yo fè yon ti rete nan lotèl Kimean an, toupre lavil Betleyèm. Yo te fè lide desann peyi Lejip
And they departed and dwelt in Geruth Chimham, which is by Beth-lehem, to goe and to enter into Egypt,
18 paske yo te pè moun Babilòn yo, depi Izmayèl te fin touye Gedalya, moun wa Babilòn lan te mete pou gouvènen peyi a.
Because of the Caldeans: for they feared them, because Ishmael ye sonne of Nethaniah had slaine Gedaliah the sonne of Ahikam, whom the King of Babel made gouernour in the land.
