Jeremiah 41
1 Ke malem akitkosr in yac sac, Ishmael, wen natul Nethaniah ac nutin natul Elishama, su sie sin mwet in sou in leum ac sie mwet fulat lun tokosra, el som nu Mizpah. El us mukul singoul welul in tuh osun nu sel Governor Gedaliah. Ke elos nukewa tukeni mongo,
And it happened that, in the seventh month, Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, the son of Elishama of royal descent, with the nobles of the king, and accompanied by ten men, went to Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam, at Mizpah. And they ate bread together there, in Mizpah.
2 na Ishmael ac mukul singoul ma welul, fwauk cutlass natulos ac unilya Gedaliah.
Then Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, rose up, and the ten men who were with him, and they struck down Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, with the sword, and they killed him whom the king of Babylon had made governor over the land.
3 Ishmael el oayapa onela mwet Israel nukewa su welul Gedaliah muta Mizpah, wi mwet mweun lun Babylonia ma oasr we in pacl sac.
Likewise, Ishmael struck down all the Jews who were with Gedaliah at Mizpah, with the Chaldeans who were found there, and the men of war.
4 Len se toko ah, meet liki kutena mwet etauk lah Gedaliah el anwuki,
Then, on the second day after he had killed Gedaliah, while no one yet knew of it,
5 mwet oalngoul tuku Shechem, Shiloh, ac Samaria me. Elos tuh resaela altalos, seseya nuknuk lalos, ac sipik manolos. Elos utuk wheat ac mwe keng in tuh kisakin in Tempul.
men arrived from Shechem, and from Shiloh, and from Samaria, eighty men, with their beards shaved, and their garments rent, and unbathed. And they had gifts and frankincense in hand, so that they might make an offering in the house of the Lord.
6 Na Ishmael el illa liki Mizpah in sonolos, ac ke el fahsr el tung. Ke el sonolos el fahk, “Nunak munas, fahsru liyal Gedaliah.”
Therefore, Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, departing from Mizpah to meet them, went forth weeping as he was walking. And when he had met them, he said to them, “Come to Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam.”
7 Ke pacl se na elos ilyak nu in siti uh, Ishmael ac mwet lal elos onelosi ac siselosyang nu in lufin kof se.
And when they had arrived at the center of the city, Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, put them to death around the public cistern, he and the men who were with him.
8 Tusruktu oasr mwet singoul sin u sac su fahk nu sel Ishmael, “Nunak munas, nimet unikuti! Oasr wheat, barley, oil in olive, ac honey kut okanla in ima ah.” Ke ma inge el tia onelosi.
But ten men were found among them, who said to Ishmael: “Do not kill us! For in the field we have storehouses of grain and barley and oil and honey.” And so he ceased, and he did not put them to death with their brothers.
9 Lufin kof se ma Ishmael el sisang monin mwet ma el uniya nu loac ah, pa lufin kof lulap se ma Tokosra Asa el tuh pukanak ke pacl se Tokosra Baasha lun Israel el mweun lainul. Ishmael el nwakla lufin kof sac ke mano misa inge.
Now the cistern, into which Ishmael cast all the dead bodies of the men whom he had struck down because of Gedaliah, is the same one that king Asa made out of fear of Baasha, the king of Israel. This same cistern Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, filled with those who were slain.
10 Na el kapriya pac acn nutin tokosra ac mwet saya nukewa in acn Mizpah, su captain fulat Nebuzaradan el tuh fililya Gedaliah elan karingnalosyang. Ishmael el eisalos mwet sruoh ac mukuiyak nu in facl lun mwet Ammon.
Then Ishmael led away captive all the remnant of the people who were at Mizpah, the king’s daughters as well as all the people who remained at Mizpah, whom Nebuzaradan, the leader of the military, had committed to Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam. And Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, seized them and went away, so that he might go over to the sons of Ammon.
11 Johanan ac mwet kol nukewa lun un mwet mweun ma welul elos lohng ke akmas ma Ishmael el oru.
But Johanan, the son of Kareah, and all the leaders of the fighters who were with him, heard about all the evil that Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, had done.
12 Ouinge elos us mwet mweun lalos ac ukwal nwe ke elos sonol apkuran nu ke lulu in kof na yohk se in acn Gibeon.
And taking all the men, they set out to make war against Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah. And they found him at the great waters that are in Gibeon.
13 Ke mwet nukewa ma sruoh sel Ishmael elos liyalak Johanan ac mwet kol lun un mwet mweun ma welul, elos enganak,
And when all the people who were with Ishmael had seen Johanan, the son of Kareah, and all the leaders of the fighters who were with him, they rejoiced.
14 ac forla ac kasrusr nu yorolos.
And all the people whom Ishmael had seized turned back to Mizpah. And they returned and went over to Johanan, the son of Kareah.
15 Tusruktu Ishmael ac oalkosr sin mwet lal kaingla lukel Johanan, ac som nu in acn sin mwet Ammon.
But Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, fled with eight men from the face of Johanan, and they went over to the sons of Ammon.
16 Na Johanan ac mwet kol lun un mwet mweun su welul, elos eis mwet mweun, mutan, tulik ac mwet eunuch su Ishmael el tuh usla liki acn Mizpah tukun el unilya Gedaliah.
Therefore, Johanan, the son of Kareah, and all the leaders of the fighters who were with him, took from Mizpah the entire remnant of the common people, whom they had led away from Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, after he had struck down Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam. These were strong men of battle, and women, and children, and eunuchs: those whom he had led away from Gibeon.
17 Na elos som nu Geruth Chimham, apkuran nu Bethlehem, ac akoo in mukuiyak som nu Egypt
And they went away and settled as sojourners at Chimham, which is near Bethlehem, so that they might continue on and enter into Egypt,
18 ke sripen elos sangeng sin mwet Babylonia, mweyen Ishmael el tuh unilya Gedaliah, mwet se tokosra lun Babylonia el srisrngiya elan governor lun acn Judah.
away from the face of the Chaldeans. For they were afraid of them, because Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, had struck down Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam, whom the king of Babylon had made governor in the land of Judah.
