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

But it happened that in the seventh month Ishmael son of Nethaniah son of Elishama, from the royal family, and some officers of the king, came—ten men were with him—to Gedaliah son of Ahikam, at Mizpah. They ate food together there in Mizpah.

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.

But Ishmael son of Nethaniah, and the ten men who were with him rose up and attacked Gedaliah son of Ahikam son of Shaphan, with the sword. Ishmael killed Gedaliah, whom the king of Babylon had put in charge of the land.

3 Ishmaaʼeel akkasumas Yihuudoota Gedaaliyaas wajjin Miisphaa turan hundaa fi loltoota Baabilonotaa kanneen achi turan illee ni fixe.

Then Ishmael killed all the Judeans who were with Gedaliah in Mizpah and the Chaldean fighting men found there.

4 Gedaaliyaas ajjeefamee guyyaa itti aanutti utuu namni tokko iyyuu hin beekin,

Then it was the second day after the killing of Gedaliah, but no one knew.

5 namoonni areeda isaanii haaddatanii, wayyaa isaanii tatarsaasanii, of cicciran Saddeettamni kennaa midhaaniitii fi ixaana qabatanii Sheekemii, Shiiloo fi Samaariyaadhaa gara mana Waaqayyoo dhufan.

Some men came from Shechem, from Shiloh, and from Samaria—eighty men who had shaved their beard, torn their clothes, and cut themselves—with food offerings and frankincense in their hands to go to Yahweh's house.

6 Ishmaaʼeel ilmi Naataaniyaas jara simachuuf Miisphaadhaa booʼaa gad baʼe. Yommuu isaan argettis “Gara Gedaaliyaas ilma Ahiiqaam kottaa” jedheen.

So Ishmael son of Nethaniah went out from Mizpah to meet them as they went, walking and weeping. Then it happened that as he encountered them, he said to them, “Come 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.

It came about that when they came into the city, Ishmael son of Nethaniah slaughtered them and threw them into a pit, he and the men who were with him.

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 there were ten men among them who said to Ishmael, “Do not kill us, for there are provisions of ours in a field: Wheat and barley, oil and honey.” So he did not kill them with their other companions.

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 threw all the dead bodies that he had killed, was a large cistern that King Asa dug to make a defense against King Baasha of Israel. Ishmael son of Nethaniah filled it in with the dead.

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.

Next Ishmael captured all the other people who were in Mizpah, the king's daughters and all the people who were left in Mizpah whom Nebuzaradan the chief guard had assigned to Gedaliah son of Ahikam. So Ishmael son of Nethaniah captured them and went to cross over to the people of Ammon.

11 Yoohaanaan ilmi Qaareyaatii fi ajajjoonni waraanaa kanneen isa wajjin turan hundi yeroo waaʼee yakka Ishmaaʼeel ilmi Naataaniyaa hojjete hundaa dhagaʼanitti

But Johanan son of Kareah and all the army commanders with him heard of all the harm that Ishmael son of Nethaniah had done.

12 namoota isaanii hunda fudhatanii Ishmaaʼeel ilma Naataaniyaa loluu dhaqan. Isaanis haroo Gibeʼoon guddicha biratti isa qaqqaban.

So they took all their men and went to fight against Ishmael son of Nethaniah. They found him at the great pool of Gibeon.

13 Namoonni Ishmaaʼeel wajjin turan hundi yommuu Yoohaanaan ilma Qaareyaatii fi ajajjoota loltootaa kanneen isa wajjin turan arganitti ni gammadan.

Then it happened that when all the people who were with Ishmael saw Johanan son of Kareah and all the army commanders who were with him, they were very happy.

14 Namoonni Ishmaaʼeel Miisphaadhaa boojiʼee ture hundis isa biraa deebiʼanii gara Yoohaanaan ilma Qaareyaa dhaqan.

So all the people whom Ishmael had captured at Mizpah turned around and went to Johanan son of Kareah.

15 Garuu Ishmaaʼeel ilmi Naataaniyaatii fi namoota isaa keessaa saddeeti Yoohaanaan jalaa miliqanii gara Amoonotaatti baqatan.

But Ishmael son of Nethaniah fled with eight men from Johanan. He went to the people of Ammon.

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.

Johanan son of Kareah and all the army commanders with him took from Mizpah all the people who had been rescued from Ishmael son of Nethaniah. This was after Ishmael had killed Gedaliah son of Ahikam. Johanan and his companions took the strong men, the fighting men, the women and children, and the eunuchs who had been rescued at Gibeon.

17 Isaanis achii kaʼanii gara Gibxitti qajeeluudhaan Beetlihem biratti Geeroti Kimhaam keessa boqotan;

Then they went and stayed for a while in Geruth Kimham, which is near Bethlehem. They were going to go to 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.

because of the Chaldeans. They were afraid of them since Ishmael son of Nethaniah had killed Gedaliah son of Ahikam, whom the king of Babylon had put in charge of the land.
