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.

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 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.

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 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.

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

4 Drugega dne se je pripetilo, potem ko je umoril Gedaljája in noben človek tega ni vedel,

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

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.

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 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.

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 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.

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 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.

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 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 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 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.

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 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 son of Kareah and all the army commanders with him heard of all the harm that Ishmael son of Nethaniah 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 took all their men and went to fight against Ishmael son of Nethaniah. They found him at the great pool of Gibeon.

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.

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

15 Toda Netanjájev sin Jišmaél je od Johanána pobegnil z osmimi možmi in odšel k Amóncem.

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

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.

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 Odrinili so in prebivali v prebivališču Kimhám, ki je pri Betlehemu, da gredo, da vstopijo v Egipt

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

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.
