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 about in the seventh month that Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, the son of Elishama, of the king's seed, having with him ten men, came to Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam, in Mizpah; and they had a meal 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 Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, and the ten men who were with him, got up, and attacking Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, with the sword, put to death him whom the king of Babylon had made ruler 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.

And Ishmael put to death all the Jews who were with him, even with Gedaliah, at Mizpah, and the Chaldaean men of war.

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

Now on the second day after he had put Gedaliah to death, when no one had knowledge of 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.

Some people came from Shechem, from Shiloh and Samaria, eighty men, with the hair of their faces cut off and their clothing out of order, and with cuts on their bodies, and in their hands meal offerings and perfumes which they were taking to the house of the Lord.

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 out from Mizpah with the purpose of meeting them, weeping on his way: and it came about that when he was face to face with them he said, 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 when they came inside the town, Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, and the men who were with him, put them to death and put their bodies into a deep hole.

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 there were ten men among them who said to Ishmael, Do not put us to death, for we have secret stores, in the country, of grain and oil and honey. So he did not put them to death with their countrymen.

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 hole into which Ishmael had put the dead bodies of the men whom he had put to death, was the great hole which Asa the king had made for fear of Baasha, king of Israel: and Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, made it full of the bodies of those who had been put to death.

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 took away as prisoners all the rest of the people who were in Mizpah, the king's daughters and all the people still in Mizpah, whom Nebuzaradan, the captain of the armed men, had put under the care of Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam: Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, took them away prisoners with the purpose of going 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 armed forces who were with him, had news of all the evil which 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.

They took their men and went out to make war on Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, and they came face to face with him by the great waters 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 when all the people who were with Ishmael saw Johanan, the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces with him, then they were glad.

14 Dukan mutanen da Ishmayel ya kame a Mizfa suka juya, suka tafi wurin Yohanan ɗan Kareya.

And all the people whom Ishmael had taken away prisoners from Mizpah, turning round, came back and went to 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, got away 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 Johanan, the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces who were with him, took all the rest of the people whom Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, had made prisoners, after he had put to death Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam, the people from Mizpah, that is, the men of war and the women and the children and the unsexed servants, whom he had taken back with him from Gibeon:

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

And they went and were living in the resting-place of Chimham, which is near Beth-lehem on the way 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 Chaldaeans: for they were in fear of them because Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, had put to death Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam, whom the king of Babylon had made ruler over the land.
