Jeremias 41
1 Men i den syvende Maaned kom Jisjmael, Elisjamas Søn Netanjas Søn, en Mand af kongelig Æt, der hørte til Kongens Stormænd, fulgt af ti Mænd til Gedalja, Ahikams Søn, i Mizpa; og de holdt Maaltid sammen der i Mizpa.
And it came to pass in the seventh month, that Ishmael the son of Nethaniah the son of Elishama, of the royal seed, and [one] of the king's chief men, and ten men with him, came to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam unto Mizpah, and there they ate bread together, in Mizpah.
2 Jisjmael, Netanjas Søn, og de ti Mænd, der fulgte ham, stod da op og huggede Gedalja, Sjafans Søn Ahikams Søn, ned med Sværdet og dræbte saaledes den Mand, Babels Konge havde sat over Landet;
And 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 killed him, whom the king of Babylon had appointed over the land.
3 ogsaa alle de Judæere, som var hos ham i Mizpa, og alle de Kaldæere, som fandtes der, alle Krigerne huggede Jisjmael ned.
And Ishmael smote all the Jews that were with him, with Gedaliah, at Mizpah, and the Chaldeans that were found there, the men of war.
4 Dagen efter Gedaljas Mord, endnu før nogen kendte dertil,
And it came to pass the second day after he had killed Gedaliah, and no man knew it,
5 kom firsindstyve Mænd fra Sikem, Silo og Samaria med afklippet Skæg, sønderrevne Klæder og Flænger i Huden; de havde Afgrødeoffer og Røgelse med til at ofre i HERRENS Hus.
that there came men from Shechem, from Shiloh, and from Samaria, eighty men, having their beards shaven and their clothes rent, and having cut themselves; with oblations and incense in their hand, to bring them to the house of Jehovah.
6 Jisjmael, Netanjas Søn, gik dem i Møde fra Mizpa og græd hele Vejen, og da han traf dem, sagde han: »Kom med til Gedalja, Ahikams Søn!«
And Ishmael the son of Nethaniah went forth from Mizpah to meet them, weeping all along as he went; and it came to pass when he met them, he said unto them, Come to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam.
7 Men da de var kommet ind i Byen, huggede Jisjmael og hans Mænd dem ned og kastede dem i Cisternen.
And it was so, when they came into the midst of the city, that Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, he and the men that were with him, slew them, [and cast them] into the midst of the pit.
8 Men der var ti Mænd iblandt dem, som sagde til Jisjmael: »Dræb os ikke, thi vi har skjulte Forraad paa Marken, Hvede, Byg, Olie og Honning.« Saa lod han dem være og dræbte dem ikke med de andre.
But ten men were found among them that said unto Ishmael, Do not kill us, for we have hidden stores in the field, of wheat, and of barley, and of oil, and of honey. So he forbore, and did not kill them among their brethren.
9 Cisternen, hvori Jisjmael kastede Ligene af alle dem, han havde hugget ned, var den store Cisterne, Kong Asa havde bygget i Kampen mod Kong Ba'sja af Israel; den fyldte Jisjmael, Netanjas Søn, med dræbte.
And the pit into which Ishmael had cast all the dead bodies of the men whom he had slain by the side of Gedaliah was the one which Asa the king had made for fear of Baasha king of Israel: Ishmael the son of Nethaniah filled it with the slain.
10 Derpaa bortførte Jisjmael som Fanger hele Resten af Folket i Mizpa, Kongedøtrene og hele Folket, der var ladt tilbage i Mizpa, og over hvem Livvagtsøversten Nebuzar'adan havde sat Gedalja, Ahikams Søn; dem bortførte Jisjmael, Netanjas Søn, som Fanger og gav sig paa Vej til Ammoniterne.
And Ishmael carried away captive all the remnant of the people that were in Mizpah, the king's daughters, and all the people that remained in Mizpah, whom Nebuzar-adan the captain of the body-guard had committed to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam: Ishmael the son of Nethaniah carried them away captive, and departed to go over to the children of Ammon.
11 Men da Johanan, Kareas Søn, og alle de Hærførere, som var hos ham, hørte om al den Ulykke, Jisjmael, Netanjas Søn, havde gjort,
And 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 tog de alle deres Mænd og drog imod ham, og de traf ham ved den store Dam i Gibeon;
and they took all the men, and went to fight with Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, and found him by the great waters that are at Gibeon.
13 og da alt Folket, der var hos Jisjmael, saa Johanan, Kareas Søn, og alle Hærførerne, der var med ham, blev de glade;
And it came to pass when all the people that 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 og alt Folket, som Jisjmael havde ført fanget fra Mizpa, vendte om og gik over til Johanan, Kareas Søn.
And all the people that Ishmael had carried away captive from Mizpah turned about and came back, and went to Johanan the son of Kareah.
15 Men Jisjmael, Netanjas Søn, slap fra Johanan med otte Mand og drog til Ammoniterne.
But Ishmael the son of Nethaniah escaped from Johanan with eight men, and went to the children of Ammon.
16 Johanan, Kareas Søn, og alle Hærførerne, der var med ham, tog derpaa hele Resten af Folket, som Jisjmael, Netanjas Søn, efter at have myrdet Gedalja, Ahikams Søn, havde ført bort fra Mizpa, de Mænd, Krigere, Kvinder, Børn og Hofmænd, som han bragte tilbage fra Gibeon,
Then Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces that were with him, took 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, the mighty men of war, and the women, and the children, and the eunuchs, whom he had brought again from Gibeon;
17 og de drog hen og slog sig ned i Gidrot-Kimham i Betlehems Nabolag for at drage til Ægypten
and they departed, and dwelt at Geruth-Chimham, which is by Bethlehem, to go to enter into Egypt,
18 af Frygt for Kaldæerne; thi de frygtede dem, fordi Jisjmael, Netanjas Søn, havde dræbt Gedalja, Ahikams Søn, som Babels Konge havde sat over Landet.
because of the Chaldeans; for they feared them, because Ishmael the son of Nethaniah had smitten Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, whom the king of Babylon had appointed over the land.
