Jeremijas 41
1 Bet septītā mēnesī Ismaēls, Netanijas dēls, Elišama dēla dēls, no ķēniņa dzimuma, un ķēniņa virsnieki nāca līdz ar desmit vīriem pie Ģedalijas, Aīkama dēla, uz Micpu, un tie tur kopā ēda maizi Micpā.
Ishmael was a member of the king’s family. He had been one of King Zedekiah’s important officials. In October of that year, he went to Mizpah with ten other men to [talk with] Gedaliah. While they were eating together,
2 Un Ismaēls, Netanijas dēls, cēlās ar tiem desmit vīriem, kas pie viņa bija, un sita ar zobenu Ģedaliju, Aīkama dēlu, Safana dēla dēlu; tā viņš to nokāva, ko Bābeles ķēniņš bija iecēlis pār to zemi.
Ishmael and the other ten men jumped up, and with their swords they killed Gedaliah—the man whom the king of Babylon had appointed to be their governor!
3 Un Ismaēls kāva arī visus Jūdus, kas Micpā bija pie viņa, pie Ģedalijas, un tos Kaldejus, kas tur atradās, tos karavīrus.
Ishmael [and the other men] also killed all the Jews and the soldiers from Babylonia who were with Gedaliah at Mizpah.
4 Un otrā dienā pēc Ģedalijas nokaušanas, kad neviens par to nezināja,
The next day, before anyone had found out that Gedaliah had been murdered,
5 Tad vīri nāca no Sihemas, no Šīlo un no Samarijas, astoņdesmit vīri, ar nodzītu bārdu un saplēstām drēbēm un iegraizītām miesām, un viņu rokā bija ēdams upuris un vīraks, ka to nestu Tā Kunga namā.
eighty men from Shechem, Shiloh, and Samaria [cities] came to worship at the temple of Yahweh [in Mizpah]. They had shaved off their beards and torn their clothes and cut themselves [to show that they were mourning]. And they had brought grain offerings and incense [to burn on the altar].
6 Un Ismaēls, Netanijas dēls, izgāja no Micpas viņiem pretī, un raudāja iedams. Un kad tos sastapa, tad viņš uz tiem sacīja: nāciet pie Ģedalijas, Aīkama dēla.
Ishmael went out of the city to meet them, crying as he went. When he reached them, he said, “Come [and see what has happened to] Gedaliah!”
7 Bet kad tie nāca pilsētas vidū, tad Ismaēls, Netanijas dēls, tos nokāva (un iemeta) bedrē, viņš un tie vīri, kas bija pie viņa.
But as soon as they had all entered the town, Ishmael and his men killed [most of] them and threw their corpses into a well.
8 Bet starp tiem bija desmit vīri, tie sacīja uz Ismaēli: nenokauj mūs, jo mums ir apslēptas mantas tīrumā, kvieši un mieži un eļļa un medus. Tad viņš tos atstāja un nenokāva ar viņu brāļiem.
There were [only] ten of them whom they (spared/did not kill). They were not killed because they promised to Ishmael that [if he allowed them to remain alive, they would bring him] lots of wheat and barley and olive oil and honey that they had hidden.
9 Un tā bedre, kurp Ismaēls nometa to vīru līķus, ko viņš līdz ar Ģedaliju bija nokāvis, bija tā pati, ko ķēniņš Asa bija racis pret Baešu, Israēla ķēniņu; šo Ismaēls, Netanijas dēls, pildīja ar tiem nokautiem.
The well where Ishmael’s men had thrown the corpses of the men whom they had murdered was the deep well that King Asa’s [men] had dug [in order that they would have water in the city] if the army of King Baasha of Israel would surround the city. Ishmael’s men filled that well with corpses.
10 Un Ismaēls aizveda visus atlikušos ļaudis, kas bija Micpā, proti ķēniņa meitas un visus ļaudis, kas Micpā bija atstāti, ko pils karavīru virsnieks Nebuzaradans bija atstājis pie Ģedalijas, Aīkama dēla, un Ismaēls, Netanijas dēls, tos aizveda un gāja pāri pie Amona bērniem.
Then Ishmael [and his men] captured the king’s daughters and some of the other people who had been left in Mizpah by Nebuzaradan in order that Gedaliah would take care of them. Ishmael and his men took those people and started back toward the Ammon area.
11 Kad nu Jehohanans, Kareūs dēls, un visi kara virsnieki, kas bija pie viņa, dzirdēja to ļaunumu, ko Ismaēls, Netanijas dēls, bija darījis,
But Johanan and all the other leaders of the Israeli soldiers who had not surrendered to the army of Babylonia heard about what Ishmael [and his men] had done.
12 Tad tie ņēma visus (kara)vīrus, un gāja karot pret Ismaēli, Netanijas dēlu, un to atrada pie tā lielā ūdens, kas ir pie Gibeonas.
So they [immediately] went with all their men to stop them. They caught up with them at the large pool near Gibeon [city].
13 Un kad visi ļaudis, kas bija pie Ismaēla, redzēja Jehohananu, Kareūs dēlu, un visus kara virsniekus, kas pie viņa, tad tie priecājās.
When all the people whom Ishmael and his men had captured saw Johanan and the soldiers who were with him, they [shouted] joyfully.
14 Un visi ļaudis, ko Ismaēls no Micpas bija aizvedis, griezās un gāja atpakaļ pie Jehohanana, Kareūs dēla.
So all those who had been captured in Mizpah escaped, and they started to help Johanan.
15 Tomēr Ismaēls, Netanijas dēls, ar astoņiem vīriem izmuka no Jehohanana un gāja pie Amona bērniem.
But Ishmael and eight of his men escaped and fled to the Ammon area.
16 Tad Jehohanans, Kareūs dēls, un visi kara virsnieki, kas bija pie viņa, paņēma visus atlikušos ļaudis, ko viņš atkal bija atvedis no Ismaēla, Netanijas dēla, no Micpas, kad šis bija nokāvis Ģedaliju, Aīkama dēlu, karavīrus, sievas un bērnus un ķēniņa sulaiņus, ko viņš no Gibeonas atkal bija atvedis,
Then Johanan and the men who were with him [gathered together] all the people whom they had rescued at Gibeon. They included soldiers and women and children and some of the king’s palace officials. They were all people whom Ishmael [and his men] had captured after they had killed Gedaliah.
17 Un gāja un apmetās Ķimkama mājas vietā pie Bētlemes, iedami uz Ēģipti Kaldeju priekšā.
They took them all to Geruth-Kimham [village] near Bethlehem. And they all prepared to go to Egypt.
18 Jo tie bijās no viņiem, tāpēc ka Ismaēls, Netanijas dēls, bija nokāvis Ģedaliju, Aīkama dēlu, ko Bābeles ķēniņš bija iecēlis pār to zemi.
They were worried about what the soldiers of Babylonia [would do to them when they found out] that Ishmael had killed Gedaliah, who had been appointed by the King of Babylonia to be their governor.
