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,

But it happened that in the seventh month Ishmael son of Nethaniah son of Elishama, from the royal family, and some officers of the king, came—ten men were with him—to Gedaliah son of Ahikam, at Mizpah. They ate food together there in Mizpah.

2 na Ishmael ac mukul singoul ma welul, fwauk cutlass natulos ac unilya Gedaliah.

But Ishmael son of Nethaniah, and the ten men who were with him rose up and attacked Gedaliah son of Ahikam son of Shaphan, with the sword. Ishmael killed Gedaliah, whom the king of Babylon had put in charge of 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.

Then Ishmael killed all the Judeans who were with Gedaliah in Mizpah and the Chaldean fighting men found there.

4 Len se toko ah, meet liki kutena mwet etauk lah Gedaliah el anwuki,

Then it was the second day after the killing of Gedaliah, but no one knew.

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.

Some men came from Shechem, from Shiloh, and from Samaria—eighty men who had shaved their beard, torn their clothes, and cut themselves—with food offerings and frankincense in their hands to go to Yahweh's house.

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.”

So Ishmael son of Nethaniah went out from Mizpah to meet them as they went, walking and weeping. Then it happened that as he encountered them, he said to them, “Come to Gedaliah 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.

It came about that when they came into the city, Ishmael son of Nethaniah slaughtered them and threw them into a pit, 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 there were ten men among them who said to Ishmael, “Do not kill us, for there are provisions of ours in a field: Wheat and barley, oil and honey.” So he did not kill them with their other companions.

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.

The cistern where Ishmael threw all the dead bodies that he had killed, was a large cistern that King Asa dug to make a defense against King Baasha of Israel. Ishmael son of Nethaniah filled it in with the dead.

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.

Next Ishmael captured all the other people who were in Mizpah, the king's daughters and all the people who were left in Mizpah whom Nebuzaradan the chief guard had assigned to Gedaliah son of Ahikam. So Ishmael son of Nethaniah captured them and went to cross over to the people of Ammon.

11 Johanan ac mwet kol nukewa lun un mwet mweun ma welul elos lohng ke akmas ma Ishmael el oru.

But Johanan son of Kareah and all the army commanders with him heard of all the harm that Ishmael 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.

So they took all their men and went to fight against Ishmael son of Nethaniah. They found him at the great pool of Gibeon.

13 Ke mwet nukewa ma sruoh sel Ishmael elos liyalak Johanan ac mwet kol lun un mwet mweun ma welul, elos enganak,

Then it happened that when all the people who were with Ishmael saw Johanan son of Kareah and all the army commanders who were with him, they were very happy.

14 ac forla ac kasrusr nu yorolos.

So all the people whom Ishmael had captured at Mizpah turned around and went to Johanan son of Kareah.

15 Tusruktu Ishmael ac oalkosr sin mwet lal kaingla lukel Johanan, ac som nu in acn sin mwet Ammon.

But Ishmael son of Nethaniah fled with eight men from Johanan. He went to the people 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.

Johanan son of Kareah and all the army commanders with him took from Mizpah all the people who had been rescued from Ishmael son of Nethaniah. This was after Ishmael had killed Gedaliah son of Ahikam. Johanan and his companions took the strong men, the fighting men, the women and children, and the eunuchs who had been rescued at Gibeon.

17 Na elos som nu Geruth Chimham, apkuran nu Bethlehem, ac akoo in mukuiyak som nu Egypt

Then they went and stayed for a while in Geruth Kimham, which is near Bethlehem. They were going to go to 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. They were afraid of them since Ishmael son of Nethaniah had killed Gedaliah son of Ahikam, whom the king of Babylon had put in charge of the land.
