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,

Now it came to pass in the seventh month, that Ishmael the son of Nethaniah the son of Elishama, of the seed royal, and the princes of the king, even ten men with him, came to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam to 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.

Then arose Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, and the ten men that were with him, and smote Gedaliah the son of Ahikam the son of Shaphan 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.

Ishmael also slew all the Jews that were with him, even with Gedaliah, at Mizpah, and the Chaldeans that were found there, and 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 slain 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, even eighty men, having their beards shaven, and their clothes torn, and having cut themselves, with offerings and incense in their hand, to bring them to 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 son of Nethaniah went forth from Mizpah to meet them, weeping all along as he went: and it came to pass, as he met them, he said to 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 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 Ishmael, Slay us not: for we have treasures in the field, of wheat, and of barley, and of oil, and of honey. So he left them alone, 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 into which Ishmael had cast all the dead bodies of the men, whom he had slain because of Gedaliah, was that which Asa the king had made for fear of Baasha king of Israel: and Ishmael the son of Nethaniah filled it 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 Ishmael carried away captive all the remnant of the people that were in Mizpah, even the king’s daughters, and all the people that remained in Mizpah, whom Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard had committed to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam: and Ishmael the son of Nethaniah carried them away captive, and departed to go over 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 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.

Then they took all the men, and went to fight with Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, and found him by the 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.

Now it came to pass, that when all the people who 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.

So 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 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 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 that he had slain Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, even 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 in the habitation of 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 were afraid of them, because Ishmael the son of Nethaniah had slain Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, whom the king of Babylon made governor in the land.
