< 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,
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 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.
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 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.
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 Alò, li te rive nan pwochen jou apre lanmò a Guedalia a, lè pèsòn pa t konnen anyen sou sa,
Now the second day that he had slaine Gedaliah, and no man knewe 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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.
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 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 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 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 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 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.
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 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.
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 Tout moun ke Ismaël te pran kaptif soti Mitspa yo te vire retounen pou te ale kote Jochanan, fis a Karéach la.
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 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 sonne of Nethaniah, escaped from Iohanan with eight men, and went to the Ammonites.
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 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 te ale rete Gerut-Kimham, toupre Bethléem, pou yo te ka ale an Égypte,
And they departed and dwelt in Geruth Chimham, which is by Beth-lehem, to goe and 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 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.
