Ieremia 41
1 I KA hiku o ka malama, hiki mai la keia mau mea; o Isemaela, ke keiki a Netania, ke keiki a Elisama, no ka hanauna alii, a me na luna o ke alii, he umi kanaka pu me ia, hele mai la lakou ia Gedalia, i ke keiki a Ahikama, ma Mizepa; a malaila lakou i ai pu ai i ka berena ma Mizepa.
In the seventh month of the year, Ishmael son of Nethaniah, son of Elishama, a member of the royal family and one of the king's chief officers, came with ten of his men to see Gedaliah at Mizpah. While they were eating to have a meal together,
2 Alaila, ku mai la o Isemaela, ke keiki a Netania, a me na kanaka he umi e noho pu ana me ia, a pepehi iho la ia Gedalia i ke keiki a Ahikama, i ke keiki a Sapana i ka pahikaua, a make oia, o ka mea hoi a ke alii o Babulona i hoolilo ai i kiaaina o ia aina.
suddenly Ishmael and his ten men got up and attacked Gedaliah, killing him—the one appointed by the king of Babylon as the country's governor.
3 A pepehi no hoi o Isemaela i na Iudaio a pau e noho pu ana me ia, me Gedalia hoi ma Mizepa, a me ko Kaledea i loaa ia ia malaila, o na kanaka kaua hoi.
Ishamel also killed all the other Judeans who were with Gedaliah at Mizpah, along with the Babylonian soldiers there.
4 A i ka lua o ka la mahope iho o kona pepehi ana ia Gedalia, aole kanaka i ike,
The day after Gedaliah had been murdered and before anyone knew about it,
5 Alaila, hele mai la kekahi mau kanaka, mai Sekema, a mai Silo, a mai Samaria mai, he kanawalu lakou, ua kahi ko lakou nmiumi, ua haehaeia ko lakou aahu, ua okioki ia lakou iho: he mau mohai, a he mea ala ma ko lakou lima e lawe i ka hale o Iehova.
a group of eighty men arrived from Shechem, Shiloh, and Samaria. They had shaved off their beards, torn their clothes, and cut themselves. They were carrying grain offerings and frankincense for the Lord's Temple.
6 A hele aku la o Isemaela, ke keiki a Netania, mai Mizepa aku, e halawai me lakou, a uwe no hoi i kona hele ana; a i kona halawai ana me lakou, i ae la ia ia lakou, E hele mai ia Gedalia, i ke keiki a Ahikama.
Ishmael came out to meet them from Mizpah, weeping as he went along. When Ishmael met the men, he said, “Come and see what's happened to Gedaliah son of Ahikam!”
7 A ia lakou i hele ai iloko o ke kulauakauhale, Pepehi aku la o Isemaela ke keiki a Netania ia lakou, a hoolei aku la iloko o ka lua, oia, a me na kanaka pu me ia.
But when they arrived in town, Ishmael and his men killed most of them and threw their bodies into a cistern.
8 A loaa iwaena o lakou, he umi kanaka, i mai la lakou ia Isemaela, Mai pepehi ia makou; no ka mea, he waiwai ko makou ma ka papu, he huapalaoa, he huabale, a he aila, a he meli. Nolaila, oki iho la oia, aole i pepehi pu ia lakou me ko lakou poe hoahanau.
But ten of them pleaded with Ishmael, “Don't kill us! We've got some good things hidden in the fields—wheat, barley, olive oil, and honey.” So Ishmael didn't kill them along with the others.
9 O ka lua, kahi o Isemaela i hoolei ai i na kupapau a pau o na kanaka ana i pepehi aku ai me Gedalia, oia ka mea a Asa ke alii i hana'i no ka makau ia Baasa, ke alii o ka Iseraela; a hoopiha iho la o Isemaela ke keiki o Netania ia wahi i ka poe i make.
(The cistern where Ishmael had thrown all the bodies of the men he'd killed, including Gedaliah, was a large one that King Asa had dug because of the threat of attack by Baasha king of Israel. Ishmael filled it with bodies.)
10 Alaila, lawepio aku la o Isemaela i ke koena a pau o na kanaka ma Mizepa, i na kaikamahine a ke alii, a me na kanaka a pau i koe ma Mizepa, ka poe a Nebuzaredana, ka lunakaua i haawi ai ia Gedalia, ke keiki a Ahikama; lawepio aku la o Isemaela ke keiki a Netania ia lakou, a hele aku la, i hiki i ka Amona.
Then Ishmael took all the people left in Mizpah prisoner, including the daughters of the king, as well as everyone else living there. These were the people that Nebuzaradan the commander of the guard had put under the care of Gedaliah. Ishmael took them prisoner and left to go to the Ammonites.
11 A lohe o Iohanana, ke keiki a Karea, a me na luna a pau o na koa me ia, i ka hewa a pau a Isemaela ke keiki a Netania i hana'i,
Johanan and all the army commanders of the armies with him found out about all of Ishmael's crimes.
12 Alaila, lawe ae la ia i na kanaka a pau, a hele aku la, e kaua me Isemaela, i ke keiki a Netania, a loaa oia ma na wai nui ma Gibeona.
So they assembled all their men and went to attack Ishmael. They caught up with him near the large pool in Gibeon.
13 A hiki i ka manawa a na kanaka a pau me Isemaela i ike mai ai ia Iohanana, i ke keiki a Karea, a me na luna a pau o na koa me ia, alaila, olioli iho la lakou.
When Ishmael's prisoners saw Johanan and all the army commanders with him, they were happy.
14 O na kanaka a pau a Isemaela i lawepio ai, huli lakou, a hoi, a hele ia Iohanana i ke keiki a Karea.
All those that Ishmael had taken prisoner at Mizpah turned around and ran back to Johanan.
15 Pakele aku la o Isemaela ke keiki a Netania mai Iohanana aku, oia a me na kanaka ewalu i hele pu me ia i ka Amona.
Ishmael and eight of his men managed to escape from Johanan and get away to the Ammonites.
16 Alaila, lawe o Iohanana, ke keiki a Karea a me na luna a pau o na koa me ia, i ke koena a pau o na kanaka i loaa ia ia ma Mizepa mai Isemaela mai, ke keiki a Netania mai, mahope iho o kona pepehi ana ia Gedalia, i ke keiki a Ahika ma, o na kanaka kaua a me na wahine, a me na Keiki, a me ua mea i poaia, ka poe ana i lawe ae ai, mai Gibeona mai;
Then Johanan and all the army commanders with him took charge of the survivors from Mizpah he'd rescued from Ishmael in Gibeon—the soldiers, women, children, and court officials that Ishmael had taken prisoner after he'd killed Gedaliah.
17 A hele aku la lakou, a noho ma kahi noho o Kimehama, aia kokoke i Betelehema, ma ke ala e komo aku ai i Aigupita,
They set off for Geruth Chimham near Bethlehem and stayed there, before leaving for Egypt
18 No ko Kaledea; no ka mea, ua makau ia lakou, no ko Isemaela, ke keiki a Netania pepehi ana ia Gedalia, i ke keiki a Ahikama, ka mea a ke alii o Babulona i hoonoho ai i kiaaina no ia aina.
to get away from the Babylonians. They were afraid of what the Babylonians would do because Ishmael had assassinated Gedaliah, the governor of the country appointed by the king of Babylon.
