Jeremia 41
1 Ary tamin’ ny volana fahafito dia tonga tany amin’ i Gedalia, zanak’ i Ahikama, tao Mizpa Isimaela, zanak’ i Netania, zanak’ i Elisama, taranaky ny mpanjaka, sy ny mpanapaky ny mpanjaka; ary nisy folo lahy niaraka taminy; ary niara-nihinan-kanina tao Mizpa izy.
And it happened that, in the seventh month, Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, the son of Elishama of royal descent, with the nobles of the king, and accompanied by ten men, went to Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam, at Mizpah. And they ate bread together there, in Mizpah.
2 Dia nitsangana Isimaela, zanak’ i Netania, sy ireo olona folo lahy niaraka taminy ka namely sabatra an’ i Gedalia, zanak’ i Ahikama, zanak’ i Safana, dia nahafaty ilay efa nataon’ ny mpanjakan’ i Babylona ho mpanapaka ny tany.
Then Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, rose up, and the ten men who were with him, and they struck down Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, with the sword, and they killed him whom the king of Babylon had made governor over the land.
3 Ary ny Jiosy rehetra izay tao aminy, dia izay tao amin’ i Gedalia tao Mizpa, sy ny Kaldeana izay hita tao ary ny miaramila dia novonoin’ Isimaela avokoa.
Likewise, Ishmael struck down all the Jews who were with Gedaliah at Mizpah, with the Chaldeans who were found there, and the men of war.
4 Ary nony ampitson’ ny andro namonoana an’ i Gedalia, raha tsy mbola nisy olona nahalala izany,
Then, on the second day after he had killed Gedaliah, while no one yet knew of it,
5 dia nisy valo-polo lahy avy tany Sekema sy Silo ary Samaria, izay samy mihara-bolom-bava, sady voatriatra ny fitafiany, ary voatetika ny tenany, nitondra fanatitra sy ditin-kazo mani-pofona teny an-tànany ho entina ao an-tranon’ i Jehovah.
men arrived from Shechem, and from Shiloh, and from Samaria, eighty men, with their beards shaved, and their garments rent, and unbathed. And they had gifts and frankincense in hand, so that they might make an offering in the house of the Lord.
6 Ary Isimaela, zanak’ i Netania, dia nivoaka avy tao Mizpa hitsena azy sady nitomany teny am-pandehanana, ary nony efa nihaona taminy izy, dia niteny taminy hoe: Mankanesa any amin’ i Gedalia, zanak’ i Ahikama.
Therefore, Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, departing from Mizpah to meet them, went forth weeping as he was walking. And when he had met them, he said to them, “Come to Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam.”
7 Ary nony tonga tao afovoan’ ny tanàna izy ireo, dia novonoin’ Isimaela, zanak’ i Netania, mbamin’ ny olona nanaraka azy izy ka nariany tao anaty lavaka famorian-drano.
And when they had arrived at the center of the city, Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, put them to death around the public cistern, he and the men who were with him.
8 Fa nisy folo lahy tamin’ ireo nanao tamin’ Isimaela hoe: Aza vonoina izahay; fa manan-tahiry any an-tsaha izahay, dia vary tritika sy vary hordea sy diloilo ary tantely. Ka dia nijanona izy, fa tsy namono ireo tahaka ny efa nataony tamin’ ny namany.
But ten men were found among them, who said to Ishmael: “Do not kill us! For in the field we have storehouses of grain and barley and oil and honey.” And so he ceased, and he did not put them to death with their brothers.
9 Ary ilay lavaka nanarian’ Isimaela ny fatin’ ny olona rehetra, izay novonoiny ho eo anilan’ i Gedalia, dia ilay efa nataon’ i Asa mpanjaka mba hiereny an’ i Basa, mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely, dia nofenoin’ Isimaela, zanak’ i Netania, faty.
Now the cistern, into which Ishmael cast all the dead bodies of the men whom he had struck down because of Gedaliah, is the same one that king Asa made out of fear of Baasha, the king of Israel. This same cistern Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, filled with those who were slain.
10 Ary nentin’ Isimaela ho babo ny olona rehetra izay sisa tao Mizpa, na ny vehivavy zanak’ andriana, na ny olona rehetra izay sisa tao Mizpa, izay napetrak’ i Nebozaradana, lehiben’ ny mpiambina, tao amin’ i Gedalia, zanak’ i Ahikama; eny, Isimaela, zanak’ i Netania, nitondra azy ireny ho babo, ka dia lasa niala nankany amin’ ny taranak’ i Amona izy.
Then Ishmael led away captive all the remnant of the people who were at Mizpah, the king’s daughters as well as all the people who remained at Mizpah, whom Nebuzaradan, the leader of the military, had committed to Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam. And Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, seized them and went away, so that he might go over to the sons of Ammon.
11 Fa nony ren’ i Johanana, zanak’ i Karea, sy ny mpifehy ny miaramila rehetra izay tao aminy ny ratsy rehetra nataon’ Isimaela, zanak’ i Netania,
But Johanan, the son of Kareah, and all the leaders of the fighters who were with him, heard about all the evil that Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, had done.
12 dia novoriny ny olona rehetra ka nentiny niady tamin’ Isimaela, zanak’ i Netania ary hitany teo amoron’ ny kamory ao Gibeona izy.
And taking all the men, they set out to make war against Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah. And they found him at the great waters that are in Gibeon.
13 Ary ny olona rehetra izay tao amin’ Isimaela, nony nahita an’ i Johanana, zanak’ i Karea, sy ny mpifehy ny miaramila rehetra izay tao aminy, dia faly.
And when all the people who were with Ishmael had seen Johanan, the son of Kareah, and all the leaders of the fighters who were with him, they rejoiced.
14 Ary ny olona rehetra izay nentin’ Isimaela ho babo avy tany Mizpa dia nitodika ka niverina nanatona an’ i Johanana, zanak’ i Karea.
And all the people whom Ishmael had seized turned back to Mizpah. And they returned and went over to Johanan, the son of Kareah.
15 Fa Isimaela, zanak’ i Netania, sy ny olona valo lahy kosa dia afaka nandositra an’ i Johanana ka lasa nankany amin’ ny taranak’ i Amona.
But Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, fled with eight men from the face of Johanan, and they went over to the sons of Ammon.
16 Ary Johanana, zanak’ i Karea, sy ny mpifehy ny miaramila rehetra izay tao aminy dia nitondra ny olona rehetra izay voavonjiny ho afaka tamin’ Isimaela, zanak’ i Netania, avy tany Mizpa, taorian’ ny namonoany an’ i Gedalia, zanak’ i Ahikama, dia ny lehilahy mpiady sy ny zaza amim-behivavy ary ny tandapa, izay nentiny niverina avy tany Gibeona;
Therefore, Johanan, the son of Kareah, and all the leaders of the fighters who were with him, took from Mizpah the entire remnant of the common people, whom they had led away from Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, after he had struck down Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam. These were strong men of battle, and women, and children, and eunuchs: those whom he had led away from Gibeon.
17 ary dia lasa izy ireo ka nitoetra tao Gerota-kimama, izay ao akaikin’ i Betlehema, mba handehanany hankany Egypta.
And they went away and settled as sojourners at Chimham, which is near Bethlehem, so that they might continue on and enter into Egypt,
18 tsy ho tratry ny Kaldeana; fa natahotra azy izy, satria Isimaela, zanak’ i Netania, efa namono an’ i Gedalia, zanak’ i Ahikama, izay notendren’ ny mpanjakan’ i Babylona ho mpanapaka ny tany.
away from the face of the Chaldeans. For they were afraid of them, because Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, had struck down Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam, whom the king of Babylon had made governor in the land of Judah.
