Jeremiah 41
1 Ní oṣù keje Iṣmaeli, ọmọ Netaniah ọmọ Eliṣama, nínú irú-ọmọ ọba, àti àwọn ìjòyè ọba, àti àwọn ọkùnrin mẹ́wàá pẹ̀lú rẹ̀, wọ́n tọ Gedaliah ọmọ Ahikamu wá ní Mispa; níbẹ̀ ni wọ́n jùmọ̀ jẹun ní Mispa.
And it happened that, in the seventh month, Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, the son of Elishama of royal descent, with the nobles of the king, and accompanied by ten men, went to Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam, at Mizpah. And they ate bread together there, in Mizpah.
2 Iṣmaeli ọmọ Netaniah àti àwọn ọkùnrin mẹ́wàá tí wọ́n wà pẹ̀lú rẹ̀, sì dìde wọ́n kọlu Gedaliah ọmọ Ahikamu, ọmọ Ṣafani pẹ̀lú idà. Wọ́n sì pa á, ẹni tí ọba Babeli ti fi jẹ baálẹ̀ lórí ilẹ̀ náà.
Then Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, rose up, and the ten men who were with him, and they struck down Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, with the sword, and they killed him whom the king of Babylon had made governor over the land.
3 Iṣmaeli sì tún pa gbogbo àwọn Júù tí wọ́n wà pẹ̀lú Gedaliah ní Mispa, àti gbogbo àwọn ọmọ-ogun Babeli tí wọ́n wà níbẹ̀ bákan náà.
Likewise, Ishmael struck down all the Jews who were with Gedaliah at Mizpah, with the Chaldeans who were found there, and the men of war.
4 Ní ọjọ́ kejì tí wọ́n pa Gedaliah kí ó tó di wí pé ẹnikẹ́ni mọ̀,
Then, on the second day after he had killed Gedaliah, while no one yet knew of it,
5 àwọn ọgọ́rin ọkùnrin wá láti Ṣekemu, Ṣilo àti Samaria, wọ́n fa irùngbọ̀n wọn, wọ́n ya aṣọ wọn, wọ́n ṣá ara wọn lọ́gbẹ́, wọ́n mú ẹbọ ọpẹ́ àti tùràrí wá sí ilé Olúwa.
men arrived from Shechem, and from Shiloh, and from Samaria, eighty men, with their beards shaved, and their garments rent, and unbathed. And they had gifts and frankincense in hand, so that they might make an offering in the house of the Lord.
6 Iṣmaeli ọmọkùnrin Netaniah jáde kúrò láti Mispa láti lọ pàdé wọn. Ó sì ń sọkún bí ó ti ṣe ń lọ, nígbà tí ó pàdé wọn, ó wí pé, “Ẹ wá sọ́dọ̀ Gedaliah ọmọkùnrin Ahikamu.”
Therefore, Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, departing from Mizpah to meet them, went forth weeping as he was walking. And when he had met them, he said to them, “Come to Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam.”
7 Nígbà tí wọ́n dé ìlú náà; Iṣmaeli ọmọkùnrin Netaniah àti àwọn ọkùnrin tí ó wà pẹ̀lú rẹ̀ pa wọ́n, wọ́n sì sọ òkú wọn sínú ihò kan.
And when they had arrived at the center of the city, Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, put them to death around the public cistern, he and the men who were with him.
8 Ṣùgbọ́n mẹ́wàá nínú wọn sọ fún Iṣmaeli pé, “Má ṣe pa wá! Àwa ní ọkà àti barle, òróró àti oyin ní ìpamọ́ nínú oko.” Nítorí náà, ó fi wọ́n sílẹ̀: kò sì pa wọ́n pẹ̀lú àwọn yòókù.
But ten men were found among them, who said to Ishmael: “Do not kill us! For in the field we have storehouses of grain and barley and oil and honey.” And so he ceased, and he did not put them to death with their brothers.
9 Nísinsin yìí, ihò náà tí ó kó gbogbo ara àwọn ọkùnrin tí ó ti pa pẹ̀lú Gedaliah sí ni ọba Asa ń lò gẹ́gẹ́ bí i ààbò nítorí ọba Baaṣa ti Israẹli. Iṣmaeli ọmọ Netaniah sì ti kó òkú kún inú rẹ̀.
Now the cistern, into which Ishmael cast all the dead bodies of the men whom he had struck down because of Gedaliah, is the same one that king Asa made out of fear of Baasha, the king of Israel. This same cistern Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, filled with those who were slain.
10 Iṣmaeli sì kó gbogbo àwọn ènìyàn tí ó wà ní Mispa nígbèkùn, ọmọbìnrin ọba àti gbogbo àwọn ènìyàn tókù síbẹ̀ lórí àwọn tí Nebusaradani balógun àwọn ẹ̀ṣọ́ ti fi yan Gedaliah ọmọkùnrin Ahikamu ṣe olórí. Iṣmaeli ọmọkùnrin Netaniah kó wọn ní ìgbèkùn, ó sì jáde rékọjá sí ọ̀dọ̀ àwọn Ammoni.
Then Ishmael led away captive all the remnant of the people who were at Mizpah, the king’s daughters as well as all the people who remained at Mizpah, whom Nebuzaradan, the leader of the military, had committed to Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam. And Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, seized them and went away, so that he might go over to the sons of Ammon.
11 Nígbà tí Johanani ọmọkùnrin Karea àti gbogbo àwọn olórí ogun tí wọ́n wà pẹ̀lú rẹ̀ gbọ́ nípa gbogbo ìpànìyàn náà tí Iṣmaeli ọmọ Netaniah ti ṣe.
But Johanan, the son of Kareah, and all the leaders of the fighters who were with him, heard about all the evil that Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, had done.
12 Wọ́n kó gbogbo àwọn ọkùnrin wọn, wọ́n sì, lọ bá Iṣmaeli ọmọ Netaniah jà. Wọ́n pàdé rẹ̀ ní odò kan lẹ́bàá Gibeoni.
And taking all the men, they set out to make war against Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah. And they found him at the great waters that are in Gibeon.
13 Nígbà tí gbogbo àwọn ènìyàn Iṣmaeli tí wọ́n wà pẹ̀lú rẹ̀ rí Johanani ọmọkùnrin Karea àti àwọn olórí ogun rẹ̀ pẹ̀lú rẹ̀, wọ́n sì yọ̀.
And when all the people who were with Ishmael had seen Johanan, the son of Kareah, and all the leaders of the fighters who were with him, they rejoiced.
14 Gbogbo àwọn ènìyàn tí Iṣmaeli ti kó ní ìgbèkùn ní Mispa yípadà, wọ́n sì lọ sọ́dọ̀ Johanani ọmọ Karea.
And all the people whom Ishmael had seized turned back to Mizpah. And they returned and went over to Johanan, the son of Kareah.
15 Ṣùgbọ́n Iṣmaeli ọmọkùnrin Netaniah àti àwọn mẹ́jọ nínú àwọn ọkùnrin rẹ̀ bọ́ lọ́wọ́ Johanani, wọ́n sì sálọ sí Ammoni.
But Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, fled with eight men from the face of Johanan, and they went over to the sons of Ammon.
16 Lẹ́yìn náà Johanani ọmọkùnrin Karea àti gbogbo àwọn ọmọ-ogun tí wọn wà pẹ̀lú rẹ̀ sì kó gbogbo àwọn tí ó kù ní Mispa; àwọn tí ó ti rí gbà lọ́wọ́ Iṣmaeli ọmọkùnrin Netaniah; lẹ́yìn ìgbà tí ó ti pa Gedaliah ọmọ Ahikamu. Àwọn ọmọ-ogun, àwọn obìnrin, àwọn ọmọdé àti àwọn olórí ilé ẹjọ́ tí ó ti kó wa láti Gibeoni.
Therefore, Johanan, the son of Kareah, and all the leaders of the fighters who were with him, took from Mizpah the entire remnant of the common people, whom they had led away from Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, after he had struck down Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam. These were strong men of battle, and women, and children, and eunuchs: those whom he had led away from Gibeon.
17 Wọ́n sì kúrò níbẹ̀, wọ́n dúró ní Geruti Kimhamu ní ẹ̀bá Bẹtilẹhẹmu ní ọ́nà ìrìnàjò wọn sí Ejibiti.
And they went away and settled as sojourners at Chimham, which is near Bethlehem, so that they might continue on and enter into Egypt,
18 Láti gba àwọn Babeli sílẹ̀. Wọ́n bẹ̀rù wọn nítorí wí pé, “Iṣmaeli ọmọ Netaniah ti pa Gedaliah ọmọ Ahikamu èyí tí ọba Babeli ti yàn gẹ́gẹ́ bí i gómìnà lórí ilẹ̀ náà.”
away from the face of the Chaldeans. For they were afraid of them, because Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, had struck down Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam, whom the king of Babylon had made governor in the land of Judah.
