Jeremija 41
1 Pripetilo se je torej v sedmem mesecu, da je Netanjájev sin Jišmaél, sin Elišamá, iz kraljevega semena in kraljevi princi, celo deset mož z njim, prišlo k Ahikámovemu sinu Gedaljáju v Micpo; in tam so skupaj jedli kruh v Micpi.
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 Potem se je dvignil Netanjájev sin Jišmaél in deset mož, ki so bili z njim in z mečem udarili Gedaljája, sina Ahikáma, sina Šafána in ga usmrtili, ki ga je babilonski kralj naredil voditelja nad deželo.
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 Jišmaél je usmrtil tudi vse Jude, ki so bili z njim, torej z Gedaljájem pri Micpi in Kaldejce, ki so bili najdeni tam in bojevnike.
Ishmael [and the other men] also killed all the Jews and the soldiers from Babylonia who were with Gedaliah at Mizpah.
4 Drugega dne se je pripetilo, potem ko je umoril Gedaljája in noben človek tega ni vedel,
The next day, before anyone had found out that Gedaliah had been murdered,
5 da so tja prišli nekateri iz Sihema, iz Šila in iz Samarije, celó osemdeset mož, ki so imeli svoje brade obrite, svoja oblačila pretrgana in razpraskani, z daritvami in kadilom v svoji roki, da jih prinesejo h Gospodovi hiši.
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 Netanjájev sin Jišmaél je odšel naprej iz Micpe, da jih sreča, jokajoč vso pot, medtem ko je šel. Pripetilo se je, ko jih je srečal, da jim je rekel: »Pridite k Ahikámovemu sinu Gedaljáju.
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 Bilo je tako, da ko so prišli v sredo mesta, da jih je Netanjájev sin Jišmaél usmrtil in jih vrgel v sredo jame, on in možje, ki so bili z njim.
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 Toda med njimi je bilo najdenih deset mož, ki so Jišmaélu rekli: »Ne ubij nas, kajti zaklade imamo na polju, od pšenice, od ječmena, od olja in od medu.« Tako je potrpel in jih ni ubil med njihovimi brati.
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 Torej jama, kamor je Jišmaél vrgel vsa trupla mož, ki jih je umoril zaradi Gedaljája, je bila tista, ki jo je kralj Asá naredil zaradi strahu pred Bašájem, Izraelovim kraljem, in Netanjájev sin Jišmaél jo je napolnil s tistimi, ki so bili umorjeni.
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 Potem je Jišmaél odvedel proč ujetništvo, ves preostanek ljudstva, ki so bili v Micpi, celó kraljeve hčere in vse ljudstvo, ki je ostalo v Micpi, ki jih je Nebuzaradán, poveljnik straže, predal Ahikámovemu sinu Gedaljáju in Netanjájev sin Jišmaél jih je ujete odvedel in odšel, da bi prešel k Amóncem.
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 Toda ko so Karéahov sin Johanán in vsi poveljniki sil, ki so bili z njim, slišali o vsem zlu, ki ga je storil Netanjájev sin Jišmaél,
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 so potem vzeli vse može in odšli, da se bojujejo z Netanjájevim sinom Jišmaélom in ga našli pri velikih vodah, ki so v Gibeónu.
So they [immediately] went with all their men to stop them. They caught up with them at the large pool near Gibeon [city].
13 Pripetilo se je torej, da ko je vse ljudstvo, ki je bilo z Jišmaélom, videlo Karéahovega sina Johanána in vse poveljnike sil, ki so bili z njim, da so bili potem veseli.
When all the people whom Ishmael and his men had captured saw Johanan and the soldiers who were with him, they [shouted] joyfully.
14 Tako se je vse ljudstvo, ki ga je Jišmaél odvedel proč ujete iz Micpe, obrnilo okrog in se vrnilo in šlo h Karéahovemu sinu Johanánu.
So all those who had been captured in Mizpah escaped, and they started to help Johanan.
15 Toda Netanjájev sin Jišmaél je od Johanána pobegnil z osmimi možmi in odšel k Amóncem.
But Ishmael and eight of his men escaped and fled to the Ammon area.
16 Potem so Karéahov sin Johanán in vsi poveljniki sil, ki so bili z njim, vzeli ves preostanek ljudstva, ki jih je povrnil od Netanjájevega sina Jišmaéla iz Micpe, potem, ko je umoril Ahikámovega sina Gedaljája, celó mogočne bojevnike, ženske, otroke in evnuhe, ki jih je ponovno privedel iz Gibeóna.
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 Odrinili so in prebivali v prebivališču Kimhám, ki je pri Betlehemu, da gredo, da vstopijo v Egipt
They took them all to Geruth-Kimham [village] near Bethlehem. And they all prepared to go to Egypt.
18 zaradi Kaldejcev, kajti bali so se jih, ker je Netanjájev sin Jišmaél umoril Ahikámovega sina Gedaljája, ki ga je babilonski kralj postavil za voditelja v deželi.
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.
