< Jeremias 41 >

1 Ngunit nangyari na sa ikapitong buwan, si Ismael na anak ni Netanias na anak ni Elisama, mula sa maharlikang pamilya at ilan sa mga opisyal ng hari ay dumating kasama ang sampung lalaki kay Gedalias na anak ni Ahicam, sa Mizpa. Sama-sama silang kumain ng pagkain doon sa Mizpa.
Now it came to pass in the seventh month, that Ishmael the son of Nethaniah the son of Elishama, of the seed royal, and the princes of the king, even ten men with him, came unto Gedaliah the son of Ahikam to Mizpah; and there they did eat bread together in Mizpah.
2 Ngunit si Ismael na anak ni Netanias at ang sampung mga lalaki na kasama niya ay tumayo at sinalakay si Gedalias na anak ni Ahicam na anak ni Safan gamit ang espada. Pinatay ni Ismael si Gedalias na itinakda ng hari ng Babilonia na mangasiwa sa lupain.
Then arose Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, and the ten men that were with him, and smote Gedaliah the son of Ahikam the son of Shaphan with the sword, and slew him, whom the king of Babylon had made governor over the land.
3 At pinatay lahat ni Ismael ang mga Judio na kasama ni Gedalias sa Mizpa at ang mga lalaking mandirigmang taga-Caldeo ang natagpuan doon.
Ishmael also slew all the Jews that were with him, even with Gedaliah, at Mizpah, and the Chaldeans that were found there, and the men of war.
4 At ito ang ikalawang araw pagkatapos nang pagpatay kay Gedalias, ngunit walang sinuman ang nakaalam.
And it came to pass the second day after he had slain Gedaliah, and no man knew it,
5 May ilang lalaki ang dumating galing Shekem, galing sa Shilo, at galing sa Samaria—walumpung kalalakihan ang nag-ahit ng kanilang mga balbas, pinunit ang kanilang mga damit at sinugatan ang kanilang mga sarili—na may dalang mga pagkaing ihahandog at kamanyang sa kanilang mga kamay upang pumunta sa tahanan ni Yahweh.
That there came certain from Shechem, from Shiloh, and from Samaria, even fourscore men, having their beards shaven, and their clothes rent, and having cut themselves, with offerings and incense in their hand, to bring them to the house of YHWH.
6 Kaya lumabas si Ismael na anak ni Netanias mula sa Mizpa upang salubungin sila habang naglalakad at umiiyak. At nangyari ito nang masalubong niya sila, sinabi niya sa kanila, “Pumunta kayo kay Gedalias na anak ni Ahicam!”
And Ishmael the son of Nethaniah went forth from Mizpah to meet them, weeping all along as he went: and it came to pass, as he met them, he said unto them, Come to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam.
7 Nangyari ito nang pagpasok nila sa lungsod, pinatay sila ni Ismael na anak ni Netanias at itinapon sila sa isang hukay, siya at ang mga kalalakihang kasama niya.
And it was so, when they came into the midst of the city, that Ishmael the son of Nethaniah slew them, and cast them into the midst of the pit, he, and the men that were with him.
8 Ngunit mayroong sampung kalalakihan na kasama nila ang nagsabi kay Ismael, “Huwag mo kaming patayin, sapagkat may mga pagkain sa aming bukid: trigo at sebada, langis at pulot-pukyutan.” Kaya hindi niya sila pinatay pati ang iba pa nilang mga kasama.
But ten men were found among them that said unto Ishmael, Slay us not: for we have treasures in the field, of wheat, and of barley, and of oil, and of honey. So he forbare, and slew them not among their brethren.
9 Ang hukay kung saan itinapon ni Ismael ang lahat ng mga bangkay ng mga kalalakihan na kaniyang pinatay kasama si Gedalias—ang malaking hukay na ito ay hinukay ni Haring Asa nang salakayin sila ni Haring Baasa ng Israel. Pinuno ito ni Ismael na anak ni Netanias ng kaniyang mga napatay.
Now the pit wherein Ishmael had cast all the dead bodies of the men, whom he had slain because of Gedaliah, was it which Asa the king had made for fear of Baasha king of Israel: and Ishmael the son of Nethaniah filled it with them that were slain.
10 Kasunod nito, binihag ni Ismael ang lahat ng taong nasa Mizpa, ang mga anak na babae ng hari at ang lahat ng mga taong naiwan sa Mizpa na itinalaga ni Nebezaradan na punong tagapagbantay ni Gedalias na anak ni Ahicam. Kaya binihag sila ni Ismael na anak ni Netanias at tumawid sa mga Ammonita.
Then Ishmael carried away captive all the residue of the people that were in Mizpah, even the king's daughters, and all the people that remained in Mizpah, whom Nebuzar-adan the captain of the guard had committed to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam: and Ishmael the son of Nethaniah carried them away captive, and departed to go over to the Ammonites.
11 Ngunit narinig ni Johanan na anak ni Karea at ng lahat ng mga pinunong hukbo na kasama niya ang lahat ng ginawang pinsala ni Ismael na anak ni Netanias.
But when Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces that were with him, heard of all the evil that Ishmael the son of Nethaniah had done,
12 Kaya dinala nila ang lahat ng kanilang mga tauhan at pumunta upang makipaglaban kay Ismael na anak ni Netanias. Natagpuan nila siya sa malaking lawa ng Gibeon.
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 At nangyari ito nang nakita ng lahat ng mga taong kasama ni Ismael si Johanan na anak ni Karea at ang lahat ng mga pinuno ng hukbo na kasama niya, labis silang natuwa.
Now it came to pass, that when all the people which were with Ishmael saw Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces that were with him, then they were glad.
14 Kaya ang lahat ng mga taong nabihag ni Ismael sa Mizpa ay bumalik at pumunta kay Johanan na anak ni Karea.
So all the people that Ishmael had carried away captive from Mizpah cast about and returned, and went unto Johanan the son of Kareah.
15 Ngunit tumakas si Ismael na anak ni Netanias kasama ang walong kalalakihan mula kay Johanan. Pumunta siya sa mga Ammonita.
But Ishmael the son of Nethaniah escaped from Johanan with eight men, and went to the Ammonites.
16 Kinuha ni Johanan na anak ni Karea at ang lahat ng mga pinuno ng hukbo na kasama niya mula Mizpa ang lahat ng mga taongnaligtas mula kay Ismael na anak ni Netanias. Ito ay matapos patayin ni Ismael si Gedalias na anak ni Ahicam. Kinuha ni Johanan at ng kaniyang mga kasama ang malalakas na kalalakihan, mga lalaking mandirigma, mga kababaihan at mga bata, at ang mga eunuko na nailigtas sa Gibeon.
Then took Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces that were with him, all the remnant of the people whom he had recovered from Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, from Mizpah, after that he had slain Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, even mighty men of war, and the women, and the children, and the eunuchs, whom he had brought again from Gibeon:
17 Pagkatapos pumunta sila at nanatili ng isang saglit sa Gerut-quimam na malapit sa Bethlehem. Pupunta sila patungong Egipto
And they departed, and dwelt in the habitation of Chimham, which is by Bethlehem, to go to enter into Egypt,
18 dahil sa mga Caldeo. Natakot sila sa kanila matapos patayin ni Ismael na anak ni Netanias si Gedalias na anak ni Ahicam, na inilagay ng hari ng Babilonia upang mangasiwa sa lupain.
Because of the Chaldeans: for they were afraid of them, because Ishmael the son of Nethaniah had slain Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, whom the king of Babylon made governor in the land.
