Irmiya 41

1 A wata na goma sha bakwai sai Ishmayel ɗan Netaniya, ɗan Elishama, wanda yake mai jinin sarauta yake kuma ɗaya daga cikin hafsoshin sarki, ya zo tare da mutum goma wurin Gedaliya ɗan Ahikam a Mizfa. Yayinda suke ci tare a can,

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

2 sai Ishmayel ɗan Netaniya da mutum goma waɗanda suke tare da shi suka kashe Gedaliya ɗan Ahikam, ɗan Shafan, da takobi, suka kashe wannan da sarkin Babilon ya naɗa a matsayin gwamna a kan ƙasar.

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 Ishmayel ya kuma kashe dukan Yahudawan da suke tare da Gedaliya a Mizfa, haka ma ya yi da sojojin Babiloniyawan da suke can.

Ishmael also slew all the Jews that were with him, [to wit], with Gedaliah, at Mizpah, and the Chaldeans that were found there, the men of war.

4 Kashegari bayan an kashe Gedaliya, kafin wani ya san abin da ya faru,

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

5 sai ga mutane tamanin daga Shekem, Shilo da Samariya suka zo da gemunsu a aske, da tufafinsu a kece, da jikunansu a tsage, suka kawo hadayun gari da turare tare da su a gidan Ubangiji.

that there came men from Shechem, from Shiloh, and from Samaria, even fourscore men, having their beards shaven and their clothes rent, and having cut themselves, with meal-offerings and frankincense in their hand, to bring them to the house of Jehovah.

6 Ishmayel ɗan Netaniya ya fito daga Mizfa don yă sadu da su. Sa’ad da ya sadu da su, sai ya ce, “Ku zo wurin Gedaliya ɗan Ahikam.”

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 unto them, Come to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam.

7 Da suka shiga cikin birni, sai Ishmayel ɗan Netaniya da mutanen da suke tare da shi suka karkashe su suka zubar a rijiya.

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 Amma goma daga cikinsu suka ce wa Ishmayel, “Kada ka kashe mu, muna da alkama da sha’ir, mai da kuma zuma, a ɓoye a gona.” Saboda haka ka bar mu kada ka kashe mu tare da sauran.

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

9 To, rijiyar da ya zubar da gawawwakin mutanen da ya kashe tare da ta Gedaliya ita ce wadda Sarki Asa ya haƙa a matsayin kāriya saboda Ba’asha sarkin Isra’ila. Ishmayel ɗan Netaniya ya cika ta da gawawwaki.

Now the pit wherein Ishmael cast all the dead bodies of the men whom he had slain, by the side of Gedaliah (the same was that which Asa the king had made for fear of Baasha king of Israel), Ishmael the son of Nethaniah filled it with them that were slain.

10 Ishmayel ya mai da dukan sauran mutanen da suke Mizfa bayi’ya’yan sarki mata tare da dukan sauran da aka bari a can, waɗanda Nebuzaradan shugaban matsaran sarki ya bari a hannun Gedaliya ɗan Ahikam. Ishmayel ɗan Netaniya ya kwashe su ganima, ya tashi don yă haye zuwa wurin Ammonawa.

Then Ishmael carried away captive all the residue 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; Ishmael the son of Nethaniah carried them away captive, and departed to go over to the children of Ammon.

11 Sa’ad da Yohanan ɗan Kareya da dukan shugabannin sojojin da suke tare da shi suka ji dukan laifofin da Ishmayel ɗan Netaniya ya aikata,

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 sai suka kwashe dukan mutanensu suka tafi don su yaƙi Ishmayel ɗan Netaniya. Suka iske shi kusa da babban tafki a Gibeyon.

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 Sa’ad da dukan mutanen da suke tare da Ishmayel suka ga Yohanan ɗan Kareya da shugabannin sojojin da suke tare da shi, sai suka yi farin ciki.

Now it came to pass that, 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 Dukan mutanen da Ishmayel ya kame a Mizfa suka juya, suka tafi wurin Yohanan ɗan Kareya.

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

15 Amma Ishmayel ɗan Netaniya da mutanensa takwas suka tsere daga Yohanan suka gudu zuwa wurin Ammonawa.

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

16 Sai Yohanan ɗan Kareya da dukan shugabannin sojojin da suke tare da shi suka bi da dukan waɗanda suka tsira daga Mizfa waɗanda ya karɓe daga Ishmayel ɗan Netaniya bayan ya kashe Gedaliya ɗan Ahikam, wato, sojoji, mata, yara da fadawan da ya kawo daga Gibeyon

Then took Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces that were with him, 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, [to wit], the men of war, and the women, and the children, and the eunuchs, whom he had brought back from Gibeon.

17 Sai suka ci gaba, suka dakata a Gerut Kimham kusa da Betlehem a kan hanyarsu zuwa Masar

And they departed, and dwelt in Geruth Chimham, which is by Beth-lehem, to go to enter into Egypt,

18 don su kuɓuce wa Babiloniyawa. Sun ji tsoronsu domin Ishmayel ɗan Netaniya ya kashe Gedaliya ɗan Ahikam, wanda sarkin Babilon ya naɗa gwamna a kan ƙasar.

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 over the land.
