Књига пророка Јеремије 41

1 А седмог месеца дође Исмаило, син Нетаније сина Елисаминог, царског рода, и кнезови цареви, десет људи с њим, ка Годолији сину Ахикамовом у Миспу, и једоше онде у Миспи с њим.

Now it came to pass in the seventh month, that Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, the son of Elishama, of the seed royal and [one of] the chief officers of the king, and ten men with him, came unto Gedaliah the son of Ahikam to Mizpah; and there they did eat bread together in Mizpah.

2 Потом уста Исмаило, син Нетанијин и десет људи што беху с њим, и убише мачем Годолију, сина Ахикама сина Сафановог; тако погубише оног кога беше поставио цар вавилонски над земљом.

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 И све Јудејце који беху с њим, с Годолијом, у Миспи, и Халдејце који се затекоше онде, војнике, поби Исмаило.

Ishmael also slew all the Jews that were with him, [to wit], with Gedaliah, at Mizpah, and the Chaldeans that were found there, the men of war.

4 А сутрадан, пошто уби Годолију, док још нико не дозна,

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

5 Дођоше људи из Сихема, из Силома и из Самарије, осамдесет људи, обријане браде и раздртих хаљина и испарани по телу, и имаху у рукама дар и кад, да принесу у дом Господњи.

that there came men from Shechem, from Shiloh, and from Samaria, even fourscore men, having their beards shaven and their clothes rent, and having cut themselves, with meal-offerings and frankincense in their hand, to bring them to the house of Jehovah.

6 Тада Исмаило, син Нетанијин, изиђе им из Миспе на сусрет и иђаше плачући, и сретавши се с њима рече им: Ходите ка Годолији, сину Ахикамовом.

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 unto them, Come to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam.

7 А кад дођоше усред града, покла их Исмаило, син Нетанијин, с људима који беху с њим и баци их у јаму.

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 А међу њима се нађе десет људи који рекоше Исмаилу: Немој нас погубити, јер имамо сакривено благо у пољу, пшенице и јечма и уља и меда. И остави их, и не поби их с браћом њиховом.

But ten men were found among them that said unto Ishmael, Slay us not; for we have stores hidden in the field, of wheat, and of barley, and of oil, and of honey. So he forbare, and slew them not among their brethren.

9 А јама у коју побаца Исмаило сва телеса људи које поби уз Годолију беше она коју начини цар Аса бојећи се Васе цара Израиљевог; и Исмаило син Нетанијин напуни је побијених људи.

Now the pit wherein Ishmael cast all the dead bodies of the men whom he had slain, by the side of Gedaliah (the same was that which Asa the king had made for fear of Baasha king of Israel), Ishmael the son of Nethaniah filled it with them that were slain.

10 И зароби Исмаило сав остатак народа што беше у Миспи, кћери цареве и сав народ што беше остао у Миспи, над којим беше поставио Невузардан заповедник стражарски Годолију, сина Ахикамовог; и заробивши их Исмаило, син Нетанијин, пође да пређе к синовима Амоновим.

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 Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard had committed to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam; Ishmael the son of Nethaniah carried them away captive, and departed to go over to the children of Ammon.

11 Али Јоанан, син Каријин, и све војводе што беху с њим чуше све зло што учини Исмаило син Нетанијин.

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 Тада узеше све своје људе и пођоше да ударе на Исмаила, сина Нетанијиног, ког нађоше код велике воде у Гаваону.

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 И сав народ што беше с Исмаилом кад виде Јоанана сина Каријиног и све војводе што беху с њим, обрадова се,

Now it came to pass that, when all the people that 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 И сав народ што Исмаило зароби из Миспе обрну се и отиде к Јоанану, сину Каријином.

So all the people that Ishmael had carried away captive from Mizpah turned about and came back, and went unto Johanan the son of Kareah.

15 А Исмаило син Нетанијин побеже с осам људи од Јоанана, и отиде к синовима Амоновим.

But Ishmael the son of Nethaniah escaped from Johanan with eight men, and went to the children of Ammon.

16 И тако Јоанан, син Каријин и све војводе што беху с њим узеше сав остатак народа што повратише од Исмаила, сина Нетанијиног, који убивши Годолију, сина Ахикамовог, беше их одвео из Миспе, војнике и жене и децу и дворане, и одведоше их из Гаваона;

Then took Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces that were with him, all the remnant of the people whom he had recovered from Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, from Mizpah, after that he had slain Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, [to wit], the men of war, and the women, and the children, and the eunuchs, whom he had brought back from Gibeon.

17 И отишавши стадоше у гостионици Химамовој код Витлејема; да би отишли и прешли у Мисир,

And they departed, and dwelt in Geruth Chimham, which is by Beth-lehem, to go to enter into Egypt,

18 Ради Халдејаца, јер их се бојаху, што Исмаило, син Нетанијин, уби Годолију, сина Ахикамовог, ког беше поставио цар вавилонски над земљом.

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 over the land.
