Yeremia 41
1 Pada bulan tujuh tahun itu Ismael anak Netanya dan cucu Elisama pergi bersama sepuluh orang ke Mizpa untuk bertemu dengan Gedalya. (Ismael adalah seorang keturunan raja, salah seorang perwira tinggi kerajaan.) Sementara mereka semua makan bersama-sama,
And it came to pass in the seventh month, that Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, the son of Elishama, of the blood royal, and one of the great officers of the king, and ten men with him, came to Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam, to Mizpah; and they ate bread there together in Mizpah.
2 Ismael dan kesepuluh orang itu mencabut pedang mereka dan membunuh Gedalya, gubernur yang diangkat oleh orang Babel itu.
Then Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, arose, 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 Ismael membunuh juga semua orang Yehuda yang ada bersama Gedalya di Mizpa, dan semua tentara Babel yang kebetulan berada di situ.
And all the Jews that were with him, with Gedaliah at Mizpah, and the Chaldaeans that were found there, the men of war, did Ishmael smite.
4 Hari berikutnya, sebelum pembunuhan Gedalya diketahui orang,
And it came to pass, the second day after he had slain Gedaliah, and no man knew it,
5 datanglah delapan puluh orang dari Sikhem, Silo, dan Samaria. Mereka telah mencukur janggut, merobek pakaian, dan menoreh-noreh badan mereka. Mereka membawa gandum dan kemenyan untuk dipersembahkan di Rumah TUHAN.
that there came certain men from Shechem, from Shiloh, and from Samaria, fourscore persons, having their beards shaven, and their clothes rent, and having cut themselves, with an oblation and incense in their hands, to bring to the house of Jehovah.
6 Maka keluarlah Ismael dari Mizpa dan pergi menemui mereka. Sambil menangis, ia berkata, "Mari pergi melihat Gedalya."
And Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, went forth from Mizpah to meet them, weeping all along as he went; and when he met them, he said to them, “Come ye to Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam.”
7 Segera setelah mereka sampai di tengah-tengah kota, Ismael dan orang-orangnya mulai membunuh mereka. Tapi sepuluh di antara mereka berkata kepada Ismael, "Jangan bunuh kami! Kami masih punya dua macam gandum, juga minyak zaitun, dan madu. Semuanya kami sembunyikan di luar kota." Karena itu Ismael tidak membunuh mereka, tapi yang lain dibunuhnya dan mayat mereka dilempar ke dalam sumur.
And when they had come into the midst of the city, Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, slew them, and cast them into the pit, he and the men that were with him.
But ten men were found among them who said to Ishmael, “Slay us not, for we have hidden stores in the field, of wheat, and barley, and oil, and honey.” He forbore, therefore, and slew them not with their brethren.
9 Sumur itu adalah sumur besar yang dibuat Raja Asa pada waktu ia diserang Baesa raja Israel.
Now the pit into which Ishmael cast all the dead bodies of the men whom he slew, together with Gedaliah, is the same which King Asa made on account of Baasha, king of Israel; and Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, filled it with them that were slain.
10 Kemudian Ismael menangkap para putri raja dan semua orang yang masih ada di Mizpa yang telah diserahkan oleh Nebuzaradan kepada pengawasan Gedalya. Ismael menawan mereka lalu berangkat dengan mereka ke jurusan wilayah Amon.
And Ishmael took captive all the residue of the people that were in Mizpah, the king's daughters, and all the people that remained in Mizpah, whom Nebuzaradan, captain of the guard, had committed to the charge of Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam; even Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, took them captive, and set forth to go over [[the Jordan]] to the children of Ammon.
11 Yohanan anak Kareah dan semua perwira yang bersama-sama dengan dia mendengar tentang kejahatan Ismael.
But when Johanan, the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces that were with him, heard of all the evil which Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, had done,
12 Maka mereka bersama anak buah mereka pergi mengejar dia, dan mendapati dia di kolam besar Gibeon.
they took all the men, and went up to fight with Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, and came up with him at the great waters that are in Gibeon.
13 Melihat Yohanan bersama perwira-perwira itu datang, para tawanan Ismael sangat gembira,
And when all the people which were with Ishmael saw Johanan, the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces that were with him, they were glad;
14 lalu berbalik dan lari mendapatkan rombongan Yohanan.
and all the people that Ishmael had carried away captive from Mizpah faced about and returned, and went to Johanan, the son of Kareah.
15 Tapi Ismael dan delapan anak buahnya lolos, dan melarikan diri ke negeri Amon.
But Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, escaped from Johanan with eight men, and went to the children of Ammon.
16 Kemudian Yohanan dan perwira-perwiranya mengumpulkan para prajurit, wanita, anak-anak, dan para pegawai istana yang ditawan oleh Ismael setelah membunuh Gedalya.
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 he had slain Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam, strong men, men of war, and women, and children, and eunuchs, whom he had brought back from Gibeon;
17 Mereka semua menjadi takut kepada orang Babel, karena Ismael telah membunuh Gedalya yang diangkat oleh raja Babel menjadi gubernur negeri itu. Jadi, mereka melarikan diri ke Mesir. Di tengah perjalanan, mereka berhenti di Kimham dekat Betlehem.
and they went, and tarried in the inn of Chimham, which is near Bethlehem, in order to flee into Egypt
from the Chaldaeans; for they were afraid of them, because Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, had slain Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam, whom the king of Babylon had made governor over the land.
