< 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 came to pass in the seventh month, that Ishmael the son of Nethaniah the son of Elishama, of the royal seed, and [one] of the king's chief men, and ten men with him, came to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam unto Mizpah, and there they ate bread together, in Mizpah.
2 na Ishmael ac mukul singoul ma welul, fwauk cutlass natulos ac unilya Gedaliah.
And 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 killed him, whom the king of Babylon had appointed 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.
And Ishmael smote all the Jews that were with him, with Gedaliah, at Mizpah, and the Chaldeans that were found there, the men of war.
4 Len se toko ah, meet liki kutena mwet etauk lah Gedaliah el anwuki,
And it came to pass the second day after he had killed Gedaliah, and no man knew 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.
that there came men from Shechem, from Shiloh, and from Samaria, eighty men, having their beards shaven and their clothes rent, and having cut themselves; with oblations and incense in their hand, to bring them to the house of Jehovah.
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.”
And Ishmael the son of Nethaniah went forth from Mizpah to meet them, weeping all along as he went; and it came to pass when he met them, he said unto 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 it was so, when they came into the midst of the city, that Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, he and the men that were with him, slew them, [and cast them] into the midst of the pit.
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 that said unto Ishmael, Do not kill us, for we have hidden stores in the field, of wheat, and of barley, and of oil, and of honey. So he forbore, and did not kill them among their brethren.
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.
And the pit into which Ishmael had cast all the dead bodies of the men whom he had slain by the side of Gedaliah was the one which Asa the king had made for fear of Baasha king of Israel: Ishmael the son of Nethaniah filled it with the 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.
And Ishmael carried away captive all the remnant of the people that were in Mizpah, the king's daughters, and all the people that remained in Mizpah, whom Nebuzar-adan the captain of the body-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 Johanan ac mwet kol nukewa lun un mwet mweun ma welul elos lohng ke akmas ma Ishmael el oru.
And 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 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 they took all the men, and went to fight with Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, and found him by the great waters that are at Gibeon.
13 Ke mwet nukewa ma sruoh sel Ishmael elos liyalak Johanan ac mwet kol lun un mwet mweun ma welul, elos enganak,
And it came to pass 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 ac forla ac kasrusr nu yorolos.
And all the people that Ishmael had carried away captive from Mizpah turned about and came back, and went 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 escaped from Johanan with eight men, and went to the children 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.
Then Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces that were with him, took 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, the mighty men of war, and the women, and the children, and the eunuchs, whom he had brought again from Gibeon;
17 Na elos som nu Geruth Chimham, apkuran nu Bethlehem, ac akoo in mukuiyak som nu Egypt
and they departed, and dwelt at Geruth-Chimham, which is by Bethlehem, to go to 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.
because of the Chaldeans; for they feared them, because Ishmael the son of Nethaniah had smitten Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, whom the king of Babylon had appointed over the land.
