Yeremia 41
1 Ɔbosome a ɛtɔ so nson mu no, Elisama babarima Netania babarima Ismael a ɔyɛ ɔdehyeɛ a na anka ɔyɛ ɔhene adwumayɛfoɔ no mu baako no ne mmarima edu baa Ahikam babarima Gedalia nkyɛn wɔ Mispa. Ɛberɛ a wɔn nyinaa gu so redidi no,
And it came to pass in the seventh month, that Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, the son of Elishama, of the blood royal, and one of the great officers of the king, and ten men with him, came to Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam, to Mizpah; and they ate bread there together in Mizpah.
2 Netania babarima Ismael ne ne mmarima edu no a wɔka ne ho no sɔreeɛ na wɔde akofena wɔɔ Ahikam babarima Gedalia, a ɔyɛ Safan nana nso no kumm no. Na ɔyɛ obi a Babiloniahene ayi no sɛ amrado wɔ asase no so.
Then Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, arose, 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 Ismael kumm Yudafoɔ a na wɔka Gedalia ho wɔ Mispa ne Babilonia asraafoɔ a na wɔwɔ hɔ no nso.
And all the Jews that were with him, with Gedaliah at Mizpah, and the Chaldaeans that were found there, the men of war, did Ishmael smite.
4 Adeɛ kyeeɛ no, ansa na obiara bɛte Gedalia wuo no,
And it came to pass, the second day after he had slain Gedaliah, and no man knew it,
5 mmarima aduɔwɔtwe a wɔawerɛ wɔn bɔgyesɛ, asunsuane wɔn ntadeɛ mu na wɔasesa wɔn honam ani firi Sekem, Silo ne Samaria baeɛ a wɔde aduane afɔrebɔdeɛ ne nnuhwam reba Awurade efie.
that there came certain men from Shechem, from Shiloh, and from Samaria, fourscore persons, having their beards shaven, and their clothes rent, and having cut themselves, with an oblation and incense in their hands, to bring to the house of Jehovah.
6 Netania babarima Ismael de agyaadwoɔ firii Mispa kɔhyiaa wɔn. Ɛberɛ a ɔhyiaa wɔn no ɔkaa sɛ, “Mommra Ahikam babarima Gedalia nkyɛn.”
And Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, went forth from Mizpah to meet them, weeping all along as he went; and when he met them, he said to them, “Come ye to Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam.”
7 Wɔduruu kuropɔn no mu no, Netania babarima Ismael ne mmarima a wɔka ne ho no kumm wɔn na wɔtoo wɔn afunu guu abura bi mu.
And when they had come into the midst of the city, Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, slew them, and cast them into the pit, he and the men that were with him.
8 Nanso nnipa no mu edu ka kyerɛɛ Ismael sɛ, “Nkum yɛn! Yɛwɔ ayuo ne atokoɔ, ngo ne ɛwoɔ a yɛde asie wɔ afuo bi mu.” Enti ɔgyaa wɔn na wankum wɔn nso.
But ten men were found among them who said to Ishmael, “Slay us not, for we have hidden stores in the field, of wheat, and barley, and oil, and honey.” He forbore, therefore, and slew them not with their brethren.
9 Abura a Ismael too nnipa a ɔkunkumm wɔn no afunu ne Gedalia guu mu no, na ɛyɛ deɛ ɔhene Asa atu sɛ ɔde bɛbɔ ne ho ban atia Israelhene Baasa. Netania babarima Ismael de afunu hyɛɛ no ma.
Now the pit into which Ishmael cast all the dead bodies of the men whom he slew, together with Gedaliah, is the same which King Asa made on account of Baasha, king of Israel; and Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, filled it with them that were slain.
10 Ismael faa nnipa a na wɔaka wɔ Mispa no nyinaa nnommum; ɔhene mmammaa ne wɔn a wɔkaa hɔ no nyinaa a Nebusaradan a ɔtua ɔhene awɛmfoɔ ano no ayi Ahikam babarima Gedalia sɛ ɔnhwɛ wɔn so no. Netania babarima Ismael faa wɔn nnommum na ɔsii mu kɔɔ Amonfoɔ nkyɛn.
And Ishmael took captive all the residue of the people that were in Mizpah, the king's daughters, and all the people that remained in Mizpah, whom Nebuzaradan, captain of the guard, had committed to the charge of Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam; even Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, took them captive, and set forth to go over [[the Jordan]] to the children of Ammon.
11 Ɛberɛ a Karea babarima Yohanan ne asraafoɔ mpanimfoɔ a wɔka ne ho no nyinaa tee awudisɛm a Netania babarima Ismael adie no,
But when Johanan, the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces that were with him, heard of all the evil which Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, had done,
12 wɔfaa wɔn asraafoɔ nyinaa sɛ wɔ ne Netania babarima Ismael rekɔko. Wɔkɔtoo no wɔ ɔtadeɛ kɛseɛ bi a ɛwɔ Gibeon no ho.
they took all the men, and went up to fight with Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, and came up with him at the great waters that are in Gibeon.
13 Ɛberɛ a nnipa a wɔka Ismael ho no nyinaa hunuu Karea babarima Yohanan ne asraafoɔ mpanimfoɔ a wɔka ne ho no, wɔn ani gyeeɛ.
And 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, they were glad;
14 Nnipa a na Ismael afa wɔn nnommum wɔ Mispa no nyinaa dane kɔɔ Karea babarima Yohanan afa.
and all the people that Ishmael had carried away captive from Mizpah faced about and returned, and went to Johanan, the son of Kareah.
15 Nanso Netania babarima Ismael ne ne mmarima baawɔtwe dwane firii Yohanan anim kɔɔ Amonfoɔ nkyɛn.
But Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, escaped from Johanan with eight men, and went to the children of Ammon.
16 Afei, Karea babarima Yohanan ne asraafoɔ mpanimfoɔ a wɔka ne ho no dii Mispa nkaeɛfoɔ a ɔgyee wɔn firii Netania babarima Ismael nsam ɛberɛ a ɔkumm Ahikam babarima Gedalia no akyi no anim: Ɔde asraafoɔ, mmaa, mmɔfra ne asɛnniiɛ adwumayɛfoɔ firi Gibeon baeɛ.
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 he had slain Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam, strong men, men of war, and women, and children, and eunuchs, whom he had brought back from Gibeon;
17 Wɔsii mu sɛ wɔrekɔ Misraim no, wɔsoɛe wɔ Gerut Kimham a ɛbɛn Betlehem.
and they went, and tarried in the inn of Chimham, which is near Bethlehem, in order to flee into Egypt
18 Na wɔredwane Babiloniafoɔ no. Na wɔsuro Babiloniafoɔ no ɛfiri sɛ na Netania babarima Ismael akum Ahikam babarima Gedalia a Babiloniahene yii no sɛ amrado a ɔhwɛ asase no so no.
from the Chaldaeans; for they were afraid of them, because Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, had slain Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam, whom the king of Babylon had made governor over the land.
