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.

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 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 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 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.

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

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

That there came men from Shechem, from Shiloh, and from Samaria, [even] eighty men, having their beards shaven, and their clothes rent, and having cut themselves, with offerings and incense in their hand, to bring [them] to 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 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 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 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 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 Ishmael, Slay us not: for we have treasures in the field, of wheat, and of barley, and of oil, and of honey. So he forbore, and slew them not among 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.

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 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 carried away captive all the residue of the people that [were] in Mizpah, [even] the king's daughters, and all the people that remained in Mizpah, whom Nebuzar-adan 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 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 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 dia novoriny ny olona rehetra ka nentiny niady tamin’ Isimaela, zanak’ i Netania ary hitany teo amoron’ ny kamory ao Gibeona izy.

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 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.

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 Ary ny olona rehetra izay nentin’ Isimaela ho babo avy tany Mizpa dia nitodika ka niverina nanatona an’ i Johanana, zanak’ i Karea.

So all the people that Ishmael had carried away captive from Mizpah cast about and returned, and went 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 escaped from Johanan with eight men, and went to the Ammonites.

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

And they departed, and dwelt in the habitation of Chimham, which [is] by Beth-lehem, to go to 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.

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.
