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 in the seventh month, Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, the son of Elishama, of the royal offspring and one of the chief officers of the king, and ten men with him, came to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam to Mizpah; and there they ate 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 Ishmael the son of Nethaniah arose, and the ten men who were with him, and struck Gedaliah the son of Ahikam the son of Shaphan with the sword and killed 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 killed all the Jews who were with Gedaliah at Mizpah, and the Chaldean men of war who were found there.

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

The second day after he had killed 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.

men came from Shechem, from Shiloh, and from Samaria, even eighty men, having their beards shaved and their clothes torn, and having cut themselves, with meal offerings and frankincense in their hand, to bring them to Yahweh’s house.

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 the son of Nethaniah went out from Mizpah to meet them, weeping all along as he went, and as he met them, he said to 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.

It was so, when they came into the middle of the city, that Ishmael the son of Nethaniah killed them, and cast them into the middle of the pit, he, and the men who 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 those who said to Ishmael, “Don’t kill us; for we have stores hidden in the field, of wheat, and of barley, and of oil, and of honey.” So he stopped, and didn’t kill them among their brothers.

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 in which Ishmael cast all the dead bodies of the men whom he had killed, by the side of Gedaliah (this was that which Asa the king had made for fear of Baasha king of Israel), Ishmael the son of Nethaniah filled it with those who were killed.

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 of the people who were left in Mizpah, even the king’s daughters, and all the people who 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 who 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 when all the people who were with Ishmael saw Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces who 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 who Ishmael had carried away captive from Mizpah turned about and came back, and went to 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 Johanan the son of Kareah and all the captains of the forces who were with him took all the remnant of the people whom he had recovered from Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, from Mizpah, after he had killed Gedaliah the son of Ahikam—the men of war, with the women, 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,

They departed and lived in Geruth Chimham, which is by Bethlehem, 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 killed Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, whom the king of Babylon made governor over the land.
