Jeremi 41

1 Na sanza ya sambo, Isimaeli, mwana mobali ya Netania mpe koko ya Elishama, oyo azalaki na molongo ya libota ya bokonzi mpe moko kati na bakengeli ya mokonzi, ayaki elongo na basoda zomi epai ya Gedalia, mwana mobali ya Ayikami, na Mitsipa. Wana bazalaki kolia na Mitsipa,

Now it came to pass in the seventh month, that Ishmael the son of Nethaniah the son of Elishama, of the seed royal, and the princes of the king, even ten men with him, came to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam to Mizpah; and there they ate bread together in Mizpah.

2 Isimaeli, mwana mobali ya Netania, elongo na basoda wana zomi oyo bazalaki elongo na ye babomaki na mopanga Gedalia, mwana mobali ya Ayikami, mwana mobali ya Shafani, oyo mokonzi ya Babiloni akomisaki moyangeli kati na mokili.

Then arose Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, and the ten men that were with him, and smote Gedaliah the son of Ahikam the son of Shaphan with the sword, and slew him, whom the king of Babylon had made governor over the land.

3 Isimaeli abomaki lisusu Bayuda oyo bazalaki elongo na Gedalia, na Mitsipa, elongo na basoda ya Babiloni oyo bazalaki wana.

Ishmael also slew all the Jews that were with him, even with Gedaliah, at Mizpah, and the Chaldeans that were found there, and the men of war.

4 Mokolo oyo elandaki kufa ya Gedalia, liboso ete sango eyebana epai ya bato,

And it came to pass the second day after he had slain Gedaliah, and no man knew it,

5 bato tuku mwambe bawutaki na Sishemi, na Silo mpe na Samari; bazalaki na mandefu bakata, bilamba epasuka-pasuka, mpe bamizokisaki-zokisaki bapota na banzoto. Bamemaki makabo ya bagato mpe malasi ya ansa mpo na kobonza yango kati na Tempelo ya Yawe.

That there came men from Shechem, from Shiloh, and from Samaria, even eighty men, having their beards shaven, and their clothes torn, and having cut themselves, with offerings and incense in their hand, to bring them to the house of the LORD.

6 Isimaeli, mwana mobali ya Netania, abimaki na Mitsipa mpo na kokende kokutana na bango; wana azalaki kokende kokutana na bango, azalaki kolela nzela-nzela. Bongo tango akutanaki na bango, alobaki na bango: — Boya kotala Gedalia, mwana mobali ya Ayikami!

And Ishmael the son of Nethaniah went forth from Mizpah to meet them, weeping all along as he went: and it came to pass, as he met them, he said to them, Come to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam.

7 Tango bakotaki kati na engumba, Isimaeli, mwana mobali ya Netania, mpe bato oyo bazalaki elongo na ye babomaki bango mpe babwakaki bango na libulu.

And it was so, when they came into the midst of the city, that Ishmael the son of Nethaniah slew them, and cast them into the midst of the pit, he, and the men that were with him.

8 Kasi bato zomi kati na bango balobaki na Isimaeli: — Koboma biso te! Tozali na ble, na orje, na mafuta mpe na mafuta ya nzoyi, oyo tobombaki kati na bilanga. Boye, abomaki bango lisusu te, abikisaki bango elongo na bandeko na bango.

But ten men were found among them that said to Ishmael, Slay us not: for we have treasures in the field, of wheat, and of barley, and of oil, and of honey. So he left them alone, and slew them not among their brethren.

9 Libulu epai wapi Isimaeli abwakaki bato nyonso oyo abomaki ezalaki libulu ya Gedalia, libulu oyo mokonzi Asa asalaki mpo na komibatela liboso ya Baesha, mokonzi ya Isalaele. Isimaeli, mwana mobali ya Netania, atondisaki yango na bibembe;

Now the pit into which Ishmael had cast all the dead bodies of the men, whom he had slain because of Gedaliah, was that which Asa the king had made for fear of Baasha king of Israel: and Ishmael the son of Nethaniah filled it with them that were slain.

10 bongo akomisaki bato nyonso oyo batikalaki na Mitsipa bawumbu: bana basi ya mokonzi mpe bato mosusu oyo batikalaki kuna na Mitsipa, oyo Nebuzaradani, mokonzi ya bakengeli ya mokonzi, atiaki na se ya bokonzi ya Gedalia, mwana mobali ya Ayikami. Isimaeli, mwana mobali ya Netania, amemaki bato oyo amemaki bango lokola bawumbu kati na mokili ya bato ya Amoni.

Then Ishmael carried away captive all the remnant of the people that were in Mizpah, even the king’s daughters, and all the people that remained in Mizpah, whom Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard had committed to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam: and Ishmael the son of Nethaniah carried them away captive, and departed to go over to the Ammonites.

11 Tango Yoanani, mwana mobali ya Karea, mpe bakonzi nyonso ya basoda, oyo bazalaki elongo na ye bayokaki sango ya makambo mabe oyo Isimaeli, mwana mobali ya Netania, asalaki,

But when 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 basangisaki bato na bango nyonso mpe bakendeki kobundisa Isimaeli, mwana mobali ya Netania; bakutanaki na ye pene ya liziba monene ya Gabaoni.

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 Tango bawumbu nyonso oyo Isimaeli akangaki bamonaki Yoanani, mwana mobali ya Karea, mpe bakonzi nyonso ya basoda, oyo bazalaki elongo na ye, batondisamaki na esengo makasi;

Now it came to pass, that when all the people who 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 mpe bato nyonso oyo Isimaeli amemaki lokola bawumbu, na Mitsipa, babalukaki mpe bakendeki kosangana na Yoanani, mwana mobali ya Karea.

So 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 Kasi Isimaeli, mwana mobali ya Netania, mpe bato mwambe oyo bazalaki elongo na ye babikaki na maboko ya Yoanani mpe bakimaki epai ya bato ya Amoni.

But Ishmael the son of Nethaniah escaped from Johanan with eight men, and went to the Ammonites.

16 Sima na yango, Yoanani, mwana mobali ya Karea, mpe bakonzi nyonso ya basoda oyo bazalaki elongo na ye bamemaki bato nyonso ya Mitsipa oyo babikaki, oyo Isimaeli, mwana mobali ya Netania, amemaki na bowumbu wuta na Mitsipa sima na ye koboma Gedalia, mwana mobali ya Ayikami: basoda, basi, bana mpe bakalaka ya lokumu ya mokonzi; elingi koloba bato nyonso oyo azongisaki wuta na Gabaoni.

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 that he had slain Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, even mighty men of war, and the women, and the children, and the eunuchs, whom he had brought again from Gibeon:

17 Bakobaki nzela na bango mpe batelemaki na molako ya Kimeami, pene ya Beteleemi, mpo ete bazalaki na posa ya kokende na Ejipito

And they departed, and dwelt in the habitation of Chimham, which is by Bethlehem, to go to enter into Egypt,

18 mpo na kokima bato ya Babiloni, pamba te bazalaki kobanga bango; mpe mpo ete Isimaeli, mwana mobali ya Netania, abomaki Gedalia, mwana mobali ya Ayikami, oyo mokonzi ya Babiloni akomisaki moyangeli ya mokili.

Because of the Chaldeans: for they were afraid of them, because Ishmael the son of Nethaniah had slain Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, whom the king of Babylon made governor in the land.
