Jeremi 41

1 Nan setyèm mwa Ismaël, fis a Nethania a, fis a Élischama, manm fanmi wayal la, e youn nan chèf prensipal a wa yo, ansanm ak dis mesye te rive Mitspa, kote Guedalia, fis a Achikam nan. Pandan yo t ap manje pen ansanm nan Mitspa,

And it came to pass in the seventh month, that Ishmael the son of Nethaniah the son of Elishama, of the royal seed, and [one] of the king's chief men, and ten men with him, came to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam unto Mizpah, and there they ate bread together, in Mizpah.

2 Ismaël, fis a Nethania a ak dis mesye ki t ap manje avèk li yo te leve e te touye Guedalia, fis a Achikam, fis a Schaphan an, ak nepe, e te mete a lanmò sila ke wa Babylone nan te apwente sou peyi a.

And 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 killed him, whom the king of Babylon had appointed over the land.

3 Ismaël, anplis, te frape touye tout Jwif ki te avè l yo, sa vle di ak Guedalia nan Mitspa, menm ak Kaldeyen ki te la yo, mesye lagè yo.

And Ishmael smote all the Jews that were with him, with Gedaliah, at Mizpah, and the Chaldeans that were found there, the men of war.

4 Alò, li te rive nan pwochen jou apre lanmò a Guedalia a, lè pèsòn pa t konnen anyen sou sa,

And it came to pass the second day after he had killed Gedaliah, and no man knew it,

5 ke katre-ven gason te sòti Sichem, Silo ak Samarie avèk bab yo retire nèt ak razwa, ak rad yo chire e kò yo blese, ofrann ak lansan nan men yo pou pote lakay SENYÈ a.

that there came men from Shechem, from Shiloh, and from Samaria, eighty men, having their beards shaven and their clothes rent, and having cut themselves; with oblations and incense in their hand, to bring them to the house of Jehovah.

6 Epi Ismaël, fis a Nethania a, te sòti Mitspa pou rankontre yo e li t ap kriye nan wout la; epi pandan li te rankontre yo, li te di yo: “Vin kote Guedalia, fis a Akchikam nan!”

And Ishmael the son of Nethaniah went forth from Mizpah to meet them, weeping all along as he went; and it came to pass when he met them, he said unto them, Come to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam.

7 Malgre sa, li te rive ke lè yo te antre anndan vil la, Ismaël, fis a Nethania a ak mesye ki te avè l yo te touye yo e jete yo nan sitèn nan.

And it was so, when they came into the midst of the city, that Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, he and the men that were with him, slew them, [and cast them] into the midst of the pit.

8 Men dis nan mesye ki te pami yo te di a Ismaël: “pa mete nou a lanmò, paske nou gen depo ble, lòj, lwil ansanm ak siwo myèl ki kache nan chan an.” Akoz sa, li te ralanti e pa t mete yo ansanm ak zanmi parèy yo a lanmò.

But ten men were found among them that said unto Ishmael, Do not kill us, for we have hidden stores in the field, of wheat, and of barley, and of oil, and of honey. So he forbore, and did not kill them among their brethren.

9 Alò, konsènan sitèn kote Ismaël te jete tout kadav a mesye ke li te touye akoz Guedalia yo, se te sila ki te bati pa wa Asa a pou Baescha, wa Israël la; Ismaël, fis a Nethania a, te plen li ak moun mouri yo.

And the pit into which Ishmael had cast all the dead bodies of the men whom he had slain by the side of Gedaliah was the one which Asa the king had made for fear of Baasha king of Israel: Ishmael the son of Nethaniah filled it with the slain.

10 Epi Ismaël te pran an kaptif tout retay ki te Mitspa yo, fi a wa yo ak tout moun ki te rete Mitspa yo, ke Nebuzaradan, chèf gad la, te mete sou chaj Guedalia, fis a Achikam nan. Konsa Ismaël, fis a Nethania a, te pran yo an kaptif e te pati pou janbe kote fis a Ammon yo.

And Ishmael carried away captive all the remnant of the people that were in Mizpah, the king's daughters, and all the people that remained in Mizpah, whom Nebuzar-adan the captain of the body-guard had committed to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam: Ishmael the son of Nethaniah carried them away captive, and departed to go over to the children of Ammon.

11 Men Jochanan, fis a Karéach la ak tout chèf a fòs lame ki te avèk li yo te tande afè mechanste ke Ismaël, fis a Nethania a, te fè a.

And Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces that were with him, heard of all the evil that Ishmael the son of Nethaniah had done;

12 Pou sa, yo te pran tout mesye yo pou te ale goumen ak Ismaël, fis a Nethania. Yo te rankontre li akote gwo basen ki Gabaon an.

and they took all the men, and went to fight with Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, and found him by the great waters that are at Gibeon.

13 Alò, la menm tout moun ki te avèk Ismaël yo te wè Jochanan, fis a Karéach la ak chèf lame an ki te avèk li yo. Konsa, yo te kontan.

And it came to pass when all the people that were with Ishmael saw Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces that were with him, then they were glad.

14 Tout moun ke Ismaël te pran kaptif soti Mitspa yo te vire retounen pou te ale kote Jochanan, fis a Karéach la.

And all the people that Ishmael had carried away captive from Mizpah turned about and came back, and went to Johanan the son of Kareah.

15 Men Ismaël, fis a Nethania a, te chape nan men Jochanan ak uit mesye pou te rive kote fis a Ammon yo.

But Ishmael the son of Nethaniah escaped from Johanan with eight men, and went to the children of Ammon.

16 Epi Jochanan, fis a Karéach la ak tout chèf fòs lame ki te avèk li yo te pran soti Mitspa tout sila nan retay moun ke li te reprann soti nan men Ismaël, fis a Nethania a, lè l te fin touye Guedalia, fis a Achikam nan— ki vle di mesye ki te sòlda yo, fanm yo, timoun yo, ak enik ke li te mennen retounen soti Gabaon an.

Then Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces that were with him, took 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, the mighty men of war, and the women, and the children, and the eunuchs, whom he had brought again from Gibeon;

17 Yo te ale rete Gerut-Kimham, toupre Bethléem, pou yo te ka ale an Égypte,

and they departed, and dwelt at Geruth-Chimham, which is by Bethlehem, to go to enter into Egypt,

18 akoz Kaldeyen yo. Yo te krent yo, akoz Ismaël, fis a Nethania a, te touye Guedalia, fis a Achikam nan, ke wa Babylone nan te apwente sou peyi a.

because of the Chaldeans; for they feared them, because Ishmael the son of Nethaniah had smitten Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, whom the king of Babylon had appointed over the land.
