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.
The word that came to Jeremias from the Lord (now Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon, and all his army, and all the country of his dominion, were warring against Jerusalem, and against all the cities of Juda, ) saying,
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.
Thus has the Lord said; Go to Sedekias king of Juda, and you shall say to him, Thus has the Lord said, This city shall certainly be delivered into the hands of the king of Babylon, and he shall take it, and shall burn it with fire:
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.
and you shall not escape out of his hand, but shall certainly be taken, and shall be given into his hands; and your eyes shall see his eyes, and you shall enter into Babylon.
4 At ito ang ikalawang araw pagkatapos nang pagpatay kay Gedalias, ngunit walang sinuman ang nakaalam.
But hear the word of the Lord, O Sedekias king of Juda; Thus says the Lord,
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.
You shall die in peace: and as they wept for your fathers that reigned before you, they shall weep also for you, [saying], Ah lord! and they shall lament for you down to the grave: for I have spoken the word, said the Lord.
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 Jeremias spoke to king Sedekias all these words in Jerusalem.
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 the host of the king of Babylon warred against Jerusalem, and against the cities of Juda, and against Lachis, and against Azeca: for these strong cities were left among the cities of Juda.
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.
The word that came from the Lord to Jeremias, after king Sedekias had concluded a covenant with the people, to proclaim a release;
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.
That every one should set at liberty his servant, and every one has handmaid, the Hebrew man and Hebrew woman, that no man of Juda should be a bondman.
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 all the nobles, and all the people who had entered into the covenant, [engaging] to set free every one his man-servant, and every one his maid, turned,
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.
and gave them over to be menservants and maidservants.
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.
And the word of the Lord came to Jeremias, saying,
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.
Thus says the Lord; I made a covenant with your fathers in the day wherein I took them out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage, saying,
14 Kaya ang lahat ng mga taong nabihag ni Ismael sa Mizpa ay bumalik at pumunta kay Johanan na anak ni Karea.
When six years are accomplished, you shall set free your brother the Hebrew, who shall be sold to you: for he shall serve you six years, and [then] you shall let him go free: but they listened not to me, and inclined not their ear.
15 Ngunit tumakas si Ismael na anak ni Netanias kasama ang walong kalalakihan mula kay Johanan. Pumunta siya sa mga Ammonita.
And this day they turned to do that which was right in my sight, to proclaim every one the release of his neighbor; and they had concluded a covenant before me, in the house whereon my name is called.
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.
But you turned and profaned my name, to bring back every one his servant, and every one his handmaid, whom you had sent forth free [and] at their own disposal, to be to you menservants and maidservants.
17 Pagkatapos pumunta sila at nanatili ng isang saglit sa Gerut-quimam na malapit sa Bethlehem. Pupunta sila patungong Egipto
Therefore thus said the Lord; You have not listened to me, to proclaim a release every one to his neighbor: behold, I proclaim a release to you, to the sword, and to the pestilence, and to the famine; and I will give you up to dispersion [among] all the kingdoms of the earth.
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.
And I will give the men that have transgressed my covenant, who have not kept my covenant, which they made before me, the calf which they prepared to sacrifice with it,
the princes of Juda, and the men in power, and the priests, and the people;
I will even give them to their enemies, and their carcases shall be food for the birds of the sky and for the wild beasts of the earth.
And I will give Sedekias king of Judea, and their princes, into the hands of their enemies, and the host of the king of Babylon [shall come upon] them that run away from them.
Behold, I [will] give command, says the Lord, and will bring them back to this land; and they shall fight against it, and take it, and burn it with fire, and the cities of Juda; and I will make them desolate without inhabitants.
