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 Ismahel the son of Nathanias, the son of Elisama of the royal blood, and the nobles of the king, and ten men with him, came to Godolias the son of Ahicam into Masphath: and they ate bread there together in Masphath.

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 Ismahel the son of Nathanias arose, and the ten men that were with him, and they struck Godolias the son of Ahicam, the son of Saphan with the sword, and slew him whom the king of Babylon had made governor 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.

Ismahel slew also all the Jews that were with Godolias in Masphath, and the Chaldeans that were found there, and the soldiers.

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

And on the second day after he had killed Godolias, no man yet knowing 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.

There came some from Sichem, and from Silo, and from Samaria, fourscore men, with their beards shaven, and their clothes rent, and mourning: and they had offerings and incense in their hand, to offer in the house of the Lord.

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 Ismahel the son of Nathanias went forth from Masphath to meet them, weeping all along as he went: and when he had met them, he said to them: Come to Godolias, the son of Ahicam.

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 when they were come to the midst of the city, Ismahel the son of Nathanias, slew them, and cast them into the midst of the pit, he and the men that were with him.

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 to Ismahel: Kill us not: for we have stores in the field, of wheat, and barley, and oil, and honey. And he forbore, and slew them not with 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 Ismahel cast all the dead bodies of the men whom he slew because of Godolias, is the same that king Asa made, for fear of Baasa the king of Israel: the same did Ismahel the son of Nathanias fill with them that were 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.

Then Ismahel carried away captive all the remnant of the people that were in Masphath: the king’s daughters, and all the people that remained in Masphath: whom Nabuzardan the general of the army had committed to Godolias the son of Ahicam. And Ismahel the son of Nathanias took them, and he 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.

But Johanan the son of Caree, and all the captains of the fighting men that were with him, heard of the evil that Ismahel the son of Nathanias 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 taking all the men, they went out to fight against Ismahel the son of Nathanias, and they found him by the great waters that are in Gabaon.

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 when all the people that were with Ismahel, had seen Johanan the son of Caree, and all the captains of the fighting men that were with him, they rejoiced.

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 whom Ismahel had taken, went back to Masphath: and they returned and went to Johanan the son of Caree.

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

But Ismahel the son of Nathanias fled with eight men, from the face of Johanan, 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 Caree, and all the captains of the soldiers that were with him, took all the remnant of the people whom they had recovered from Ismahel the son of Nathanias, from Masphath, after that he had slain Godolias the son of Ahicam: valiant men for war, and the women, and the children, and the eunuchs, whom he had brought back from Gabaon:

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

And they departed, and sat as sojourners in Chamaam, which is near Bethlehem: in order to go forward, and 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.

From the face of the Chaldeans: for they were afraid of them, because Ismahel the son of Nathanias had slain Godolias the son of Ahicam, whom the king of Babylon had made governor in the land of Juda.
