< Jeremia 41 >

1 Ie amy volam-paha-fitoy, le nivo­trak’ amy Gedalia ana’ i Ahikame e Mitspà ao t’Ismaele ana’ i Netania, ana’ i Elisama tirim-panjaka, ie mpiamo roandria’ i mpanjakaio, reketse ty lahilahy folo, vaho nitrao-pikama e Mitspa ao.
Now it came about in the seventh month that Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, the son of Elishama, of the king's seed, having with him ten men, came to Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam, in Mizpah; and they had a meal together in Mizpah.
2 Niongak’ amy zao t’Ismaele ana’ i Netania naho i folo lahy nindre ama’e rey, vaho linihi’ iereo fibara t’i Gedalia ana’ i Ahikame, ana’ i Safane; vinono iereo i noriza’ i mpanjaka’ i Baveley ho mpifehe’ i taneiy.
Then Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, and the ten men who were with him, got up, and attacking Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, with the sword, put to death him whom the king of Babylon had made ruler over the land.
3 Zinama’ Ismaele ka ze nte-Iehodà mpiama’e ao, o niharo amy Gedalia e Mitspào naho o nte-Kasdy nizoeñeo, o lahin-defoñeo.
And Ishmael put to death all the Jews who were with him, even with Gedaliah, at Mizpah, and the Chaldaean men of war.
4 Ie herone amy namonoa’e i Gedaliay, ie tsy eo ty naharendreke,
Now on the second day after he had put Gedaliah to death, when no one had knowledge of it,
5 le totsake eo t’ indaty valompolo boake Sekeme naho boake Silò naho hirike Somerone, an-tanteahetse hinaratse naho sikiñe riniatse, vaho an-tsandriñe linililily, ninday enga mahakama naho embok’ am-pitàñe homb’añ’anjomba’ Iehovà mb’eo.
Some people came from Shechem, from Shiloh and Samaria, eighty men, with the hair of their faces cut off and their clothing out of order, and with cuts on their bodies, and in their hands meal offerings and perfumes which they were taking to the house of the Lord.
6 Aa le niavotse i Mitspà t’Ismaele ana’ i Netania hifanalaka am’ iereo, nangololoike ty rovetse t’ie nañavelo mb’eo; ie nigadoñe am’ iereo, le hoe ty asa’e ama’e: Antao homb’e Gedalia ana’ i Ahikame mb’eo.
And Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, went out from Mizpah with the purpose of meeting them, weeping on his way: and it came about that when he was face to face with them he said, Come to Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam.
7 Aa ie naneñateña i rovay le zinama’ Ismaele ana’ i Netania rekets’ o mpi­ama’eo vaho namokovoko iareo am-po kadaha ao.
And when they came inside the town, Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, and the men who were with him, put them to death and put their bodies into a deep hole.
8 Fe nizoeñe am’ iereo t’indaty folo nanao ty hoe amy Ismaele, Ko avetra’o fa aman-kaja mikafitse an-tonda ao, ty vare-bolè, naho ampemba, naho menake vaho tantele. Aa le napo’e, tsy vinono’e miharo amo rolongo’eo.
But there were ten men among them who said to Ishmael, Do not put us to death, for we have secret stores, in the country, of grain and oil and honey. So he did not put them to death with their countrymen.
9 I kadaha najorobo’ Ismaele i lolo amy Gedalia rezay le ty nanoe’ i Asa mpanjaka ty amy Baasa mpanjaka’ Israeley; le natsafe’ Ismaele ana’ i Netania ama’e ao o vinonoo.
Now the hole into which Ishmael had put the dead bodies of the men whom he had put to death, was the great hole which Asa the king had made for fear of Baasha, king of Israel: and Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, made it full of the bodies of those who had been put to death.
10 Le fonga nendese’ Ismaele an-drohy añe ty sehanga’ ondaty e Mitspà ao, o anak’ ampela’ i mpanjakaio naho ze kila ondaty nengañe e Mitspà ao, o nafanto’ i Nebozaradene mpifehe mpigaritse amy Gedalia, ana’ i Ahikame; aa le nasese’ Ismaele ana’ i Natania an-drohy vaho nienga hitsake mb’amo ana’ i Amaneo añe.
Then Ishmael took away as prisoners all the rest of the people who were in Mizpah, the king's daughters and all the people still in Mizpah, whom Nebuzaradan, the captain of the armed men, had put under the care of Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam: Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, took them away prisoners with the purpose of going over to the children of Ammon.
11 Aa ie jinanji’ Iohanane ana’ i Karea naho o mpifehen-dahindefo mpiama’eo ty halò-tsereke nanoe’ Ismaele ana’ i Netania,
But when Johanan, the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the armed forces who were with him, had news of all the evil which Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, had done,
12 le nendese’iereo o lahilahy iabio naho nionjoñe mb’eo hifangantotse am’Ismaele ana’ i Netania, vaho nitendrek’ ama’e an-drano-bey e Gibone eo.
They took their men and went out to make war on Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, and they came face to face with him by the great waters in Gibeon.
13 Le ie niisa’ o hene ondaty nindre am’ Ismaeleo t’Ioha­nane ana’ i Karea, naho o mpifehe lahin-defoñe nindre ama’eo, le nifale,
Now when all the people who were with Ishmael saw Johanan, the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces with him, then they were glad.
14 naho songa niamboho vaho niveve mb’ am’ Iohanane ana’ i Karea mb’eo ondaty nasese’ Ismaele an-drohy boake Mitspào.
And all the people whom Ishmael had taken away prisoners from Mizpah, turning round, came back and went to Johanan, the son of Kareah.
15 Fe niborafitse am’ Iehonane t’Ismaele ana’ i Netania reketse ty ondaty valo, nimb’ amo ana’ i Amoneo mb’eo.
But Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, got away from Johanan, with eight men, and went to the children of Ammon.
16 Aa le nendese’ Iohanane, ana’ i Ka­rea, naho ze hene mpifehe lahin-defoñe nindre ama’e, ty sisa’ ondaty rinambe’e am’Ismaele ana’ i Netania, boak’e Mitspàao—ie fa vinono’e t’i Gedalia ana’ i Ahikame naho o mpiama’eo—o lahilahio naho o lahindefoñeo naho o rakembao, naho o ajajao, naho o vositse nendese’e boake Giboneo,
Then Johanan, the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces who were with him, took all the rest of the people whom Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, had made prisoners, after he had put to death Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam, the people from Mizpah, that is, the men of war and the women and the children and the unsexed servants, whom he had taken back with him from Gibeon:
17 le nienga, vaho nañialo an-kialo’ i Kimhame marine i Betlekheme añe, hiavotse mb’e Mitsraime añe,
And they went and were living in the resting-place of Chimham, which is near Beth-lehem on the way into Egypt,
18 ty amo nte-Kasdio, amy t’ie nihembaña’ iereo, ty amy namonoa’ Ismaele ana’ i Netania t’i Gedalia ana’ i Ahikame, i nampifelehe’ i mpanjaka’ i Baveley i taneiy.
Because of the Chaldaeans: for they were in fear of them because Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, had put to death Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam, whom the king of Babylon had made ruler over the land.
