Jeremiæ 41
1 et factum est in mense septimo venit Ismahel filius Nathaniae filii Elisama de semine regali et optimates regis et decem viri cum eo ad Godoliam filium Ahicam in Masphat et comederunt ibi panes simul in Masphat
Now in the seventh month, Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, the son of Elishama, of the royal offspring and one of the chief officers of the king, and ten men with him, came to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam to Mizpah; and there they ate bread together in Mizpah.
2 surrexit autem Ismahel filius Nathaniae et decem viri qui erant cum eo et percusserunt Godoliam filium Ahicam filii Saphan gladio et interfecerunt eum quem praefecerat rex Babylonis terrae
Then Ishmael the son of Nethaniah arose, and the ten men who were with him, and struck Gedaliah the son of Ahikam the son of Shaphan with the sword and killed him, whom the king of Babylon had made governor over the land.
3 omnes quoque Iudaeos qui erant cum Godolia in Masphat et Chaldeos qui repperti sunt ibi et viros bellatores percussit Ismahel
Ishmael also killed all the Jews who were with Gedaliah at Mizpah, and the Chaldean men of war who were found there.
4 secundo autem die postquam occiderat Godoliam nullo adhuc sciente
The second day after he had killed Gedaliah, and no man knew it,
5 venerunt viri de Sychem et de Silo et de Samaria octoginta viri rasi barbam et scissis vestibus et squalentes munera et tus habebant in manu ut offerrent in domo Domini
men came from Shechem, from Shiloh, and from Samaria, even eighty men, having their beards shaved and their clothes torn, and having cut themselves, with meal offerings and frankincense in their hand, to bring them to Yahweh’s house.
6 egressus ergo Ismahel filius Nathaniae in occursum eorum de Masphat incedens et plorans ibat cum autem occurrisset eis dixit ad eos venite ad Godoliam filium Ahicam
Ishmael the son of Nethaniah went out from Mizpah to meet them, weeping all along as he went, and as he met them, he said to them, “Come to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam.”
7 qui cum venissent ad medium civitatis interfecit eos Ismahel filius Nathaniae circa medium laci ipse et viri qui erant cum eo
It was so, when they came into the middle of the city, that Ishmael the son of Nethaniah killed them, and cast them into the middle of the pit, he, and the men who were with him.
8 decem autem viri repperti sunt inter eos qui dixerunt ad Ismahel noli occidere nos quia habemus thesauros in agro frumenti et hordei et olei et mellis et cessavit et non interfecit eos cum fratribus suis
But ten men were found among those who said to Ishmael, “Don’t kill us; for we have stores hidden in the field, of wheat, and of barley, and of oil, and of honey.” So he stopped, and didn’t kill them among their brothers.
9 lacus autem in quem proiecerat Ismahel omnia cadavera virorum quos percussit propter Godoliam ipse est quem fecit rex Asa propter Baasa regem Israhel ipsum replevit Ismahel filius Nathaniae occisis
Now the pit in which Ishmael cast all the dead bodies of the men whom he had killed, by the side of Gedaliah (this was that which Asa the king had made for fear of Baasha king of Israel), Ishmael the son of Nethaniah filled it with those who were killed.
10 et captivas duxit Ismahel omnes reliquias populi qui erant in Masphat filias regis et universum populum qui remanserat in Masphat quos commendarat Nabuzardan princeps militiae Godoliae filio Ahicam et cepit eos Ismahel filius Nathaniae et abiit ut transiret ad filios Ammon
Then Ishmael carried away captive all of the people who were left in Mizpah, even the king’s daughters, and all the people who remained in Mizpah, whom Nebuzaradan the captain of the 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 audivit autem Iohanan filius Caree et omnes principes bellatorum qui erant cum eo omne malum quod fecerat Ismahel filius Nathaniae
But when Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces who were with him, heard of all the evil that Ishmael the son of Nethaniah had done,
12 et adsumptis universis viris profecti sunt ut bellarent adversum Ismahel filium Nathaniae et invenerunt eum ad aquas Multas quae sunt in Gabaon
then they took all the men, and went to fight with Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, and found him by the great waters that are in Gibeon.
13 cumque vidisset omnis populus qui erat cum Ismahel Iohanan filium Caree et universos principes bellatorum qui erant cum eo laetati sunt
Now when all the people who were with Ishmael saw Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces who were with him, then they were glad.
14 et reversus est omnis populus quem ceperat Ismahel in Masphat reversusque abiit ad Iohanan filium Caree
So all the people who Ishmael had carried away captive from Mizpah turned about and came back, and went to Johanan the son of Kareah.
15 Ismahel autem filius Nathaniae fugit cum octo viris a facie Iohanan et abiit ad filios Ammon
But Ishmael the son of Nethaniah escaped from Johanan with eight men, and went to the children of Ammon.
16 tulit ergo Iohanan filius Caree et omnes principes bellatorum qui erant cum eo universas reliquias vulgi quas reduxerat ab Ismahel filio Nathaniae de Masphat postquam percussit Godoliam filium Ahicam fortes viros ad proelium et mulieres et pueros et eunuchos quos reduxerat de Gabaon
Then Johanan the son of Kareah and all the captains of the forces who 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 killed Gedaliah the son of Ahikam—the men of war, with the women, the children, and the eunuchs, whom he had brought back from Gibeon.
17 et abierunt et sederunt peregrinantes in Chamaam quae est iuxta Bethleem ut pergerent et introirent Aegyptum
They departed and lived in Geruth Chimham, which is by Bethlehem, to go to enter into Egypt
18 a facie Chaldeorum timebant enim eos quia percusserat Ismahel filius Nathaniae Godoliam filium Ahicam quem praeposuerat rex Babylonis in terra Iuda
because of the Chaldeans; for they were afraid of them, because Ishmael the son of Nethaniah had killed Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, whom the king of Babylon made governor over the land.
