Jeremia 41
1 Men i sjunde månadenom kom Ismael, Nethanja son, Elisama sons, af Konungsligo slägt, samt med Konungens öfverstar, och tio män med honom, till Gedalia, Ahikams son, i Mizpa, och der åto de tillhopa med hvarannan i Mizpa.
Now it came about in the seventh month that Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, the son of Elishama, of the king's seed, having with him ten men, came to Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam, in Mizpah; and they had a meal together in Mizpah.
2 Och Ismael, Nethanja son, stod upp, och de tio män som med honom voro, och slogo Gedalia, Ahikams son, Saphans sons, ihjäl med svärd, derföre att Konungen i Babel honom öfver hela landet satt hade.
Then Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, and the ten men who were with him, got up, and attacking Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, with the sword, put to death him whom the king of Babylon had made ruler over the land.
3 Dertill slog Ismael alla de Judar, som när Gedalia voro i Mizpa, och de Chaldeer som der funnos, och alla krigsmännerna.
And Ishmael put to death all the Jews who were with him, even with Gedaliah, at Mizpah, and the Chaldaean men of war.
4 Den andra dagen derefter, sedan Gedalia son var, och det ännu ingen visste,
Now on the second day after he had put Gedaliah to death, when no one had knowledge of it,
5 Kommo åttatio män af Sichem, af Silo, och Samarien, och hade rakat af skägget, och sönderrifvit sin kläder, och sargat sig, och båro spisoffer och rökelse med sig, att de det skulle offra uti Herrans hus.
Some people came from Shechem, from Shiloh and Samaria, eighty men, with the hair of their faces cut off and their clothing out of order, and with cuts on their bodies, and in their hands meal offerings and perfumes which they were taking to the house of the Lord.
6 Och Ismael, Nethanja son, gick ut ifrå Mizpa emot dem; gick och gret. Som han nu kom till dem, sade han till dem: I skolen komma till Gedalia, Ahikams son.
And Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, went out from Mizpah with the purpose of meeting them, weeping on his way: and it came about that when he was face to face with them he said, Come to Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam.
7 Men då de kommo midt in uti staden, drap dem Ismael, Nethanja son, och de män, som med honom voro, vid brunnen.
And when they came inside the town, Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, and the men who were with him, put them to death and put their bodies into a deep hole.
8 Men der voro tio män ibland, de sade till Ismael: Käre, slå oss icke ihjäl; vi hafve ägodelar i åkrenom, af hvete, bjugg, oljo och hannog. Alltså höll han upp, och drap dem icke med de andra.
But there were ten men among them who said to Ishmael, Do not put us to death, for we have secret stores, in the country, of grain and oil and honey. So he did not put them to death with their countrymen.
9 Men brunnen, der Ismael de dödas kroppar uti kastade, som han slagit hade, samt med Gedalia, är den som Konung Asa göra lät emot Baesa, Israels Konung; honom uppfyllde nu Ismael, Nethanja son, med de slagna.
Now the hole into which Ishmael had put the dead bodies of the men whom he had put to death, was the great hole which Asa the king had made for fear of Baasha, king of Israel: and Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, made it full of the bodies of those who had been put to death.
10 Och det folk, som qvart var i Mizpa, och Konungens döttrar, förde Ismael, Nethanja son, bort för fångar, samt med allt det folk som igenlåtet var i Mizpa, öfver hvilka NebuzarAdan, höfvitsmannen, Gedalia, Ahikams son, satt hade, och drog bort, och ville öfver in till Ammons barn.
Then Ishmael took away as prisoners all the rest of the people who were in Mizpah, the king's daughters and all the people still in Mizpah, whom Nebuzaradan, the captain of the armed men, had put under the care of Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam: Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, took them away prisoners with the purpose of going over to the children of Ammon.
11 Men då Johanan, Kareahs son, med alla de höfvitsmän som med honom voro, fingo veta allt det onda, som Ismael, Nethanja son, bedrifvit hade,
But when Johanan, the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the armed forces who were with him, had news of all the evil which Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, had done,
12 Togo de allt folket till sig, och drogo bort emot Ismael, Nethanja son, till strids, och kommo till honom vid det stora vattnet i Gibeon.
They took their men and went out to make war on Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, and they came face to face with him by the great waters in Gibeon.
13 Då nu allt folket, som var med Ismael, sågo Johanan, Kareahs son, och alla de höfvitsmän som när honom voro, vordo de glade.
Now when all the people who were with Ishmael saw Johanan, the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces with him, then they were glad.
14 Och allt det folk, som Ismael hade bortfört ifrå Mizpa, vände tillbaka, och föllo intill Johanan, Kareahs son.
And all the people whom Ishmael had taken away prisoners from Mizpah, turning round, came back and went to Johanan, the son of Kareah.
15 Men Ismael, Nethanja son, undkom Johanan med åtta män, och drog in till Ammons barn.
But Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, got away from Johanan, with eight men, and went to the children of Ammon.
16 Och Johanan, Kareahs son, samt med alla höfvitsmännerna som med honom voro, toga allt det qvarblefna folket (som de igentagit hade ifrån Ismael, Nethanja son) af Mizpa till sig, efter det Gedalia, Ahikams son, slagen var, nämliga krigsmän, qvinnor och barn, och kamererare, som de af Gibeon igenhemtat hade;
Then Johanan, the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces who were with him, took all the rest of the people whom Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, had made prisoners, after he had put to death Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam, the people from Mizpah, that is, the men of war and the women and the children and the unsexed servants, whom he had taken back with him from Gibeon:
17 Och droga bortåt, och kommo till herberge till Chimham vid BethLehem, och ville draga in uti Egypten,
And they went and were living in the resting-place of Chimham, which is near Beth-lehem on the way into Egypt,
18 För de Chaldeer; förty de fruktade sig för dem, efter Ismael, Nethanja son, hade dräpit Gedalia, Ahikams son, den Konungen i Babel öfver landet satt hade.
Because of the Chaldaeans: for they were in fear of them because Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, had put to death Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam, whom the king of Babylon had made ruler over the land.
