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 came to pass in the seventh month, that Ismahel the son of Nathanias, the son of Elisama of the royal blood, and the nobles of the king, and ten men with him, came to Godolias the son of Ahicam into Masphath: and they ate bread there together in Masphath.

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.

And Ismahel the son of Nathanias arose, and the ten men that were with him, and they struck Godolias the son of Ahicam, the son of Saphan with the sword, and slew 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.

Ismahel slew also all the Jews that were with Godolias in Masphath, and the Chaldeans that were found there, and the soldiers.

4 Ary nony ampitson’ ny andro namonoana an’ i Gedalia, raha tsy mbola nisy olona nahalala izany,

And on the second day after he had killed Godolias, no man yet knowing 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.

There came some from Sichem, and from Silo, and from Samaria, fourscore men, with their beards shaven, and their clothes rent, and mourning: and they had offerings and incense in their hand, to offer 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.

And Ismahel the son of Nathanias went forth from Masphath to meet them, weeping all along as he went: and when he had met them, he said to them: Come to Godolias, the son of Ahicam.

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 were come to the midst of the city, Ismahel the son of Nathanias, slew them, and cast them into the midst of the pit, he and the men that 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, that said to Ismahel: Kill us not: for we have stores in the field, of wheat, and barley, and oil, and honey. And he forbore, and slew them not with their brethren.

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.

And the pit into which Ismahel cast all the dead bodies of the men whom he slew because of Godolias, is the same that king Asa made, for fear of Baasa the king of Israel: the same did Ismahel the son of Nathanias fill with them that 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 Ismahel carried away captive all the remnant of the people that were in Masphath: the king’s daughters, and all the people that remained in Masphath: whom Nabuzardan the general of the army had committed to Godolias the son of Ahicam. And Ismahel the son of Nathanias took them, and he departed, to go over to the children 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 Caree, and all the captains of the fighting men that were with him, heard of the evil that Ismahel the son of Nathanias 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 went out to fight against Ismahel the son of Nathanias, and they found him by the great waters that are in Gabaon.

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 that were with Ismahel, had seen Johanan the son of Caree, and all the captains of the fighting men that 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 Ismahel had taken, went back to Masphath: and they returned and went to Johanan the son of Caree.

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 Ismahel the son of Nathanias fled with eight men, from the face of Johanan, and went to the children 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;

Then Johanan the son of Caree, and all the captains of the soldiers that were with him, took all the remnant of the people whom they had recovered from Ismahel the son of Nathanias, from Masphath, after that he had slain Godolias the son of Ahicam: valiant men for war, and the women, and the children, and the eunuchs, whom he had brought back from Gabaon:

17 ary dia lasa izy ireo ka nitoetra tao Gerota-kimama, izay ao akaikin’ i Betlehema, mba handehanany hankany Egypta.

And they departed, and sat as sojourners in Chamaam, which is near Bethlehem: in order to go forward, 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.

From the face of the Chaldeans: for they were afraid of them, because Ismahel the son of Nathanias had slain Godolias the son of Ahicam, whom the king of Babylon had made governor in the land of Juda.
