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.
Ishmael was a member of the king’s family. He had been one of King Zedekiah’s important officials. In October of that year, he went to Mizpah with ten other men to [talk with] Gedaliah. While they were eating together,
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.
Ishmael and the other ten men jumped up, and with their swords they killed Gedaliah—the man whom the king of Babylon had appointed to be their governor!
3 И све Јудејце који беху с њим, с Годолијом, у Миспи, и Халдејце који се затекоше онде, војнике, поби Исмаило.
Ishmael [and the other men] also killed all the Jews and the soldiers from Babylonia who were with Gedaliah at Mizpah.
4 А сутрадан, пошто уби Годолију, док још нико не дозна,
The next day, before anyone had found out that Gedaliah had been murdered,
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.
eighty men from Shechem, Shiloh, and Samaria [cities] came to worship at the temple of Yahweh [in Mizpah]. They had shaved off their beards and torn their clothes and cut themselves [to show that they were mourning]. And they had brought grain offerings and incense [to burn on the altar].
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.
Ishmael went out of the city to meet them, crying as he went. When he reached them, he said, “Come [and see what has happened to] Gedaliah!”
7 А кад дођоше усред града, покла их Исмаило, син Нетанијин, с људима који беху с њим и баци их у јаму.
But as soon as they had all entered the town, Ishmael and his men killed [most of] them and threw their corpses into a well.
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.
There were [only] ten of them whom they (spared/did not kill). They were not killed because they promised to Ishmael that [if he allowed them to remain alive, they would bring him] lots of wheat and barley and olive oil and honey that they had hidden.
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.
The well where Ishmael’s men had thrown the corpses of the men whom they had murdered was the deep well that King Asa’s [men] had dug [in order that they would have water in the city] if the army of King Baasha of Israel would surround the city. Ishmael’s men filled that well with corpses.
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 [and his men] captured the king’s daughters and some of the other people who had been left in Mizpah by Nebuzaradan in order that Gedaliah would take care of them. Ishmael and his men took those people and started back toward the Ammon area.
11 Али Јоанан, син Каријин, и све војводе што беху с њим чуше све зло што учини Исмаило син Нетанијин.
But Johanan and all the other leaders of the Israeli soldiers who had not surrendered to the army of Babylonia heard about what Ishmael [and his men] had done.
12 Тада узеше све своје људе и пођоше да ударе на Исмаила, сина Нетанијиног, ког нађоше код велике воде у Гаваону.
So they [immediately] went with all their men to stop them. They caught up with them at the large pool near Gibeon [city].
13 И сав народ што беше с Исмаилом кад виде Јоанана сина Каријиног и све војводе што беху с њим, обрадова се,
When all the people whom Ishmael and his men had captured saw Johanan and the soldiers who were with him, they [shouted] joyfully.
14 И сав народ што Исмаило зароби из Миспе обрну се и отиде к Јоанану, сину Каријином.
So all those who had been captured in Mizpah escaped, and they started to help Johanan.
15 А Исмаило син Нетанијин побеже с осам људи од Јоанана, и отиде к синовима Амоновим.
But Ishmael and eight of his men escaped and fled to the Ammon area.
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 Johanan and the men who were with him [gathered together] all the people whom they had rescued at Gibeon. They included soldiers and women and children and some of the king’s palace officials. They were all people whom Ishmael [and his men] had captured after they had killed Gedaliah.
17 И отишавши стадоше у гостионици Химамовој код Витлејема; да би отишли и прешли у Мисир,
They took them all to Geruth-Kimham [village] near Bethlehem. And they all prepared to go to Egypt.
18 Ради Халдејаца, јер их се бојаху, што Исмаило, син Нетанијин, уби Годолију, сина Ахикамовог, ког беше поставио цар вавилонски над земљом.
They were worried about what the soldiers of Babylonia [would do to them when they found out] that Ishmael had killed Gedaliah, who had been appointed by the King of Babylonia to be their governor.
