Yeremiya 41
1 Mu mwezi ogw’omusanvu Isimayiri mutabani wa Nesaniya, mutabani wa Erisaama, omu ku balangira ate nga ye omu ku bakulu b’eggye lya Yuda n’ajja n’abasajja kkumi eri Gedaliya mutabani wa Akikamu e Mizupa. Bwe baali nga balya,
And it came to pass in the seventh month, that Ishmael son of Nethaniah son of Elishama of the seed royal and chiefs of the king, and ten men with him, came in, unto Gedaliah son of Ahikam, at Mizpah, —and they did there eat bread together in Mizpah.
2 Isimayiri mutabani wa Nesaniya n’abasajja ekkumi abaali naye ne bayimuka ne batta Gedaliya, mutabani wa Akikamu, mutabani wa Safani, n’ekitala, gavana, kabaka w’e Babulooni gwe yali ataddewo okufuga mu nsi.
Then arose Ishmael son of Nethaniah—and the ten men who were with him and they smote Gedaliah son of Ahikam son of Shaphan—with the sword and slew him whom the king of Babylon had set in charge, over the land.
3 Isimayiri n’atta n’Abayudaaya bonna abaali ne Gedaliya e Mizupa, n’abaserikale Abakaludaaya abaaliyo.
And Ishmael smote, all the Jews who were with him even with Gedaliah in Mizpah, and the Chaldeans who were found there the men of war.
4 Olunaku olwaddirira Gedaliya ng’amaze okuttibwa, nga tewannabaawo akimanyiiko,
And it came to pass, on the second day, after he had slain Gedaliah, not, a man, knowing it,
5 abasajja kinaana abaali beemwedde ebirevu, nga bayuzizza engoye zaabwe era nga beesazeesaze, bajja okuva e Sekemu, ne Siiro ne Samaliya, nga baleese ekiweebwayo eky’emmere ey’empeke n’obubaane eby’omu nnyumba ya Mukama.
that men came in from Shechem, from Shiloh, and from Samaria, —eighty men, with beards shaven and clothes rent who also had cut themselves, with a meal-offering and frankincense in their hand, to bring them into the house of Yahweh.
6 Isimayiri omwana wa Nesaniya n’ava e Mizupa okubasisinkana ng’agenda bw’akaaba. Bwe yabatuukako, n’abagamba nti, “Mujje eri Gedaliya omwana wa Akikamu.”
Then went forth Ishmael son of Nethaniah to meet them out of Mizpah, weeping all along as he went, —and it came to pass when he fell in with them, that he said unto them, Come ye in unto Gedaliah son of Ahikam.
7 Bwe baatuuka mu kibuga, Isimayiri mutabani wa Nesaniya n’abasajja be ne batta abamu ku basajja abo, ne babasuula mu kinnya.
And so it was when they had come into the midst of the city, that Ishmael son of Nethaniah slew them and cast them into the midst of a pit, he and the men who were with him.
8 Naye kkumi ku bo ne bagamba Isimayiri nti, “Totutta! Tulina eŋŋaano ne sayiri, n’omuzigo, n’omubisi gw’enjuki, tubikwese mu nnimiro.” Awo ne babaleka ne batabattira wamu na bali abalala.
But, ten men, were found among them, who said unto Ishmael—Do not put us to death, for we have secret treasures in the field, wheat and barley and oil and honey, So he forbare and put them not to death in the midst of their brethren.
9 Ekinnya mwe baasuula emirambo gy’abasajja bonna be battira awamu ne Gedaliya, kye kiri kabaka Asa kye yali asimye ng’alwanyisa Baasa kabaka wa Isirayiri. Isimayiri mutabani wa Nesaniya yakijjuza abafu.
Now the pit whereinto Ishmael cast all the dead bodies of the men whom he had smitten, was a large pit which King Asa had made for fear of Baasha king of Israel, —the same, did Ishmael son of Nethaniah fill with the slain,
10 Isimayiri n’awamba abantu bonna abalala abaali e Mizupa, abawala ba kabaka n’abalala bonna abaali basigaddeyo, Nebuzaladaani omuduumizi w’eggye lya kabaka Nebukadduneeza be yali awadde Gedaliya mutabani wa Akikamu. Isimayiri mutabani wa Nesaniya n’abatwala nga bawambe ne yeetegeka okubasomosa okubatwala eri Abamoni.
Then did Ishmael take captive all the remnant of the people that was in Mizpah, —the daughters of the king, and all the people that were left remaining in Mizpah, whom Nebuzaradan chief of the royal executioners had committed unto Gedaliah son of Ahikam, —yea Ishmael son of Nethaniah took them captive, and departed to pass over unto the sons of Ammon.
11 Yokanaani mutabani wa Kaleya n’abaduumizi bonna abaali naye bwe baawulira ebikolobero Isimayiri mutabani wa Nesaniya bye yali akoze,
But when Johanan son of Kareah and all the captains of the forces who were with him heard of all the wickedness which Ishmael son of Nethaniah had done,
12 ne batwala abasajja baabwe bonna ne bagenda okulwanyisa Isimayiri mutabani wa Nesaniya. Ne bamutuukako okumpi n’amazzi amangi e Gibyoni.
then took they all the men, and went their way to fight with Ishmael son of Nethaniah, —and found him near the many waters which were in Gibeon.
13 Abantu bonna abaali ne Isimayiri bwe baalaba Yokanaani mutabani wa Kaleya n’abaduumizi ba magye be yali nabo, ne basanyuka.
And it came to pass, when all the people who were with Ishmael saw Johanan son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces who were with him, then were they glad.
14 Abantu bonna Isimayiri be yali awambye e Mizupa ne bakyuka ne bagenda eri Yokanaani mutabani wa Kaleya.
So all the people whom Ishmael had carried away captive out of Mizpah, compassed about, and returned and went their way unto Johanan son of Kareah.
15 Naye Isimayiri mutabani wa Nesaniya ne basajja be munaana ne batoloka okuva ku Yokanaani ne bagenda mu ba Amoni.
But, Ishmael son of Nethaniah, escaped with eight men, from the face of Johanan, —and departed unto the sons of Ammon.
16 Awo Yokanaani mutabani wa Kaleya n’abaduumizi b’eggye bonna abaali naye ne batwala abawambe okuva e Mizupa be baali baggye ku Isimayiri mutabani wa Nesaniya ng’amaze okutta Gedaliya mutabani wa Akikamu: abaserikale, n’abakazi, n’abaana n’abakungu b’omu lubiri be yali aggye e Gibyoni.
Then did Johanan son of Kareah and all the captains of the forces who were with him take all the remnant of the people whom he had recovered from Ishmael son of Nethaniah out of Mizpah, after he had smitten Gedaliah son of Ahikam, —mighty men, men of war, and women and children and eunuchs, whom he had recovered out of Gibeon;
17 Ne beeyongerayo ne bayimirirako e Gerusukimamu okumpi ne Besirekemu, nga boolekedde e Misiri,
and they departed, and dwelt in the khan of Chimham, which is near Bethlehem, —that they might go to enter Egypt;
18 badduke Abakaludaaya. Baali batidde Abakaludaaya kubanga Isimayiri mutabani wa Nesaniya yali asse Gedaliya mutabani wa Akikamu, oyo kabaka w’e Babulooni gwe yali ataddewo okufuga ensi nga gavana.
because of the Chaldeans, for they were afraid of them, —because Ishmael son of Nethaniah had smitten Gedaliah son of Ahikam, whom the king of Babylon had set in charge over the land.
