Ermiyaas 41
1 Jiʼa torbaffaa keessa Ishmaaʼeel ilmi Naataaniyaa, ilma Eliishaamaa kan sanyii moototaa irraa dhalatee fi ajajjoota loltoota mootichaa keessaa tokko ture sun namoota kudhan wajjin Gedaaliyaas ilma Ahiiqaam bira Miisphaa dhufe. Achittis utuma wajjin waa nyaatanuu
In the seventh month of the year, Ishmael son of Nethaniah, son of Elishama, a member of the royal family and one of the king's chief officers, came with ten of his men to see Gedaliah at Mizpah. While they were eating to have a meal together,
2 Ishmaaʼeel ilmi Naataaniyaatii fi namoonni kurnan isa wajjin turan sun kaʼanii goraadeedhaan Gedaaliyaas ilma Ahiiqaam, ilma Shaafaan isa mootiin Baabilon bulchaa kutaa biyyaa godhee muude sana rukutanii ajjeesan.
suddenly Ishmael and his ten men got up and attacked Gedaliah, killing him—the one appointed by the king of Babylon as the country's governor.
3 Ishmaaʼeel akkasumas Yihuudoota Gedaaliyaas wajjin Miisphaa turan hundaa fi loltoota Baabilonotaa kanneen achi turan illee ni fixe.
Ishamel also killed all the other Judeans who were with Gedaliah at Mizpah, along with the Babylonian soldiers there.
4 Gedaaliyaas ajjeefamee guyyaa itti aanutti utuu namni tokko iyyuu hin beekin,
The day after Gedaliah had been murdered and before anyone knew about it,
5 namoonni areeda isaanii haaddatanii, wayyaa isaanii tatarsaasanii, of cicciran Saddeettamni kennaa midhaaniitii fi ixaana qabatanii Sheekemii, Shiiloo fi Samaariyaadhaa gara mana Waaqayyoo dhufan.
a group of eighty men arrived from Shechem, Shiloh, and Samaria. They had shaved off their beards, torn their clothes, and cut themselves. They were carrying grain offerings and frankincense for the Lord's Temple.
6 Ishmaaʼeel ilmi Naataaniyaas jara simachuuf Miisphaadhaa booʼaa gad baʼe. Yommuu isaan argettis “Gara Gedaaliyaas ilma Ahiiqaam kottaa” jedheen.
Ishmael came out to meet them from Mizpah, weeping as he went along. When Ishmael met the men, he said, “Come and see what's happened to Gedaliah son of Ahikam!”
7 Yeroo isaan magaalaa sana seenanitti immoo Ishmaaʼeel ilmi Naataaniyaatii fi namoonni isa wajjin turan jara sana gogorraʼanii boolla bishaaniitti gad darbatan.
But when they arrived in town, Ishmael and his men killed most of them and threw their bodies into a cistern.
8 Namoonni utuu hin ajjeefamin hafan kudhan garuu Ishmaaʼeeliin, “Nu hin ajjeesin! Nu qamadii fi garbuu, zayitii fi damma lafa qotiisaa keessa dhokfanne qabnaatii” jedhan. Kanaafuu inni gad isaan dhiise; warra kaan wajjinis isaan hin ajjeefne.
But ten of them pleaded with Ishmael, “Don't kill us! We've got some good things hidden in the fields—wheat, barley, olive oil, and honey.” So Ishmael didn't kill them along with the others.
9 Boolli bishaanii Ishmaaʼeel reeffa namoota Gedaaliyaas wajjin ajjeefaman sanaa hunda itti naqe sun boolla bishaanii Aasaan Mootichi ittiin Baʼishaan mooticha Israaʼel of irraa dhowwuuf hojjetate ture. Ishmaaʼeel ilmi Naataaniyaa boolla bishaanii sana reeffa namaatiin guute.
(The cistern where Ishmael had thrown all the bodies of the men he'd killed, including Gedaliah, was a large one that King Asa had dug because of the threat of attack by Baasha king of Israel. Ishmael filled it with bodies.)
10 Ishmaaʼeel namoota Miisphaa keessaa hafan hunda intallan mootichaatii fi warra achitti hafan kanneen Nebuzaradaan ajajaan eegumsaa sun Gedaaliyaas ilma Ahiiqaam isaan irratti shuumee ture hunda boojiʼe. Ishmaaʼeel ilmi Naataaniyaas isaan fudhatee gara Amoonotaatti ceʼuuf kaʼee qajeele.
Then Ishmael took all the people left in Mizpah prisoner, including the daughters of the king, as well as everyone else living there. These were the people that Nebuzaradan the commander of the guard had put under the care of Gedaliah. Ishmael took them prisoner and left to go to the Ammonites.
11 Yoohaanaan ilmi Qaareyaatii fi ajajjoonni waraanaa kanneen isa wajjin turan hundi yeroo waaʼee yakka Ishmaaʼeel ilmi Naataaniyaa hojjete hundaa dhagaʼanitti
Johanan and all the army commanders of the armies with him found out about all of Ishmael's crimes.
12 namoota isaanii hunda fudhatanii Ishmaaʼeel ilma Naataaniyaa loluu dhaqan. Isaanis haroo Gibeʼoon guddicha biratti isa qaqqaban.
So they assembled all their men and went to attack Ishmael. They caught up with him near the large pool in Gibeon.
13 Namoonni Ishmaaʼeel wajjin turan hundi yommuu Yoohaanaan ilma Qaareyaatii fi ajajjoota loltootaa kanneen isa wajjin turan arganitti ni gammadan.
When Ishmael's prisoners saw Johanan and all the army commanders with him, they were happy.
14 Namoonni Ishmaaʼeel Miisphaadhaa boojiʼee ture hundis isa biraa deebiʼanii gara Yoohaanaan ilma Qaareyaa dhaqan.
All those that Ishmael had taken prisoner at Mizpah turned around and ran back to Johanan.
15 Garuu Ishmaaʼeel ilmi Naataaniyaatii fi namoota isaa keessaa saddeeti Yoohaanaan jalaa miliqanii gara Amoonotaatti baqatan.
Ishmael and eight of his men managed to escape from Johanan and get away to the Ammonites.
16 Yoohaanaan ilmi Qaareyaatii fi ajajjoonni loltoota warri isa wajjin turan hundi namoota Miisphaa warra Ishmaaʼeel ilmi Naataaniyaa erga Gedaaliyaas ilma Ahiiqaam ajjeesee booddee boojiʼe kaan hunda fuudhanii deeman; isaanis loltoota, dubartoota, ijoollee fi qondaaltota mana murtii kanneen Yoohaanaan Gibeʼoonii deebisee fidee dha.
Then Johanan and all the army commanders with him took charge of the survivors from Mizpah he'd rescued from Ishmael in Gibeon—the soldiers, women, children, and court officials that Ishmael had taken prisoner after he'd killed Gedaliah.
17 Isaanis achii kaʼanii gara Gibxitti qajeeluudhaan Beetlihem biratti Geeroti Kimhaam keessa boqotan;
They set off for Geruth Chimham near Bethlehem and stayed there, before leaving for Egypt
18 kunis Baabilonota jalaa miliquuf ture. Isaan sababii Ishmaaʼeel ilmi Naataaniyaa sun Gedaaliyaas ilma Ahiiqaam isa mootiin Baabilon biyyattii irratti bulchaa godhee shuume sana ajjeeseef jara sodaatan.
to get away from the Babylonians. They were afraid of what the Babylonians would do because Ishmael had assassinated Gedaliah, the governor of the country appointed by the king of Babylon.
