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

Ishmael also killed all the Jews who were with Gedaliah at Mizpah, and the Chaldean men of war who were found there.

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

The second day after he had killed 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.

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 the LORD’s house.

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!

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

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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 Yochanan 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 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 when all the people who were with Ishmael saw Yochanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces who 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 who Ishmael had carried away captive from Mizpah turned about and came back, and went to Yochanan 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 Yochanan with eight men, and went to the children of Ammon.

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

They departed and lived in Geruth 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 Kasdim; 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.
