< Jeremiah 41 >

1 Now it came about in the seventh month that Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, the son of Elishama, of the king's seed, having with him ten men, came to Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam, in Mizpah; and they had a meal together in Mizpah.
Naʻe hoko ʻo pehē ʻi hono fitu māhina, naʻe haʻu ʻa ʻIsimeʻeli ko e foha ʻo Natania ko e foha ʻo ʻIlisama, ko e hako ʻoe hau, pea mo e houʻeiki ʻoe tuʻi, ʻaia mo e kau tangata ʻe toko hongofulu mo ia, kia Ketalia ko e foha ʻo ʻAhikami ki Misipa; pea naʻa nau kai mā fakataha ʻi Misipa.
2 Then Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, and the ten men who were with him, got up, and attacking Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, with the sword, put to death him whom the king of Babylon had made ruler over the land.
Pea tuʻu hake ʻa ʻIsimeʻeli ko e foha ʻo Natania, mo e kau tangata ʻe toko hongofulu naʻe ʻiate ia, pea nau taaʻi aki ʻae heletā ʻa Ketalia ko e foha ʻo ʻAhikami ko e foha ʻo Safani, pea tāmateʻi ia, ʻaia naʻe fakanofo ʻe he tuʻi ʻo Papilone ke pule ki he fonua.
3 And Ishmael put to death all the Jews who were with him, even with Gedaliah, at Mizpah, and the Chaldaean men of war.
Pea naʻe tāmateʻi foki ʻe ʻIsimeʻeli ʻae kau Siu kotoa pē naʻe ʻiate ia, ʻaia naʻe ia Ketalia, ʻi Misipa, pea mo e kau Kalitia naʻe ʻi ai, pea mo e kautau.
4 Now on the second day after he had put Gedaliah to death, when no one had knowledge of it,
Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē ʻi hono ua ʻoe ʻaho ʻi he hili ʻae tāmateʻi ʻo Ketalia, ʻi he teʻeki ke ʻilo ia ʻe ha tokotaha,
5 Some people came from Shechem, from Shiloh and Samaria, eighty men, with the hair of their faces cut off and their clothing out of order, and with cuts on their bodies, and in their hands meal offerings and perfumes which they were taking to the house of the Lord.
Naʻe haʻu ʻae kau tangata mei Sikemi, pea mei Sailo, pea mei Samelia, ko e toko valungofulu kuo tele honau kava, pea kuo mahaehae honau kofu, pea foa ʻakinautolu, pea naʻe ʻi honau nima ʻae feilaulau mo e meʻa namu kakala, ke ʻomi ki he fale ʻo Sihova.
6 And Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, went out from Mizpah with the purpose of meeting them, weeping on his way: and it came about that when he was face to face with them he said, Come to Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam.
Pea naʻe ʻalu atu ʻa ʻIsimeʻeli ko e foha ʻo Natania mei Misipa ke fakafetaulaki mo kinautolu, pea naʻe tangi maʻu pe ia ʻi heʻene ʻalu: pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē ʻi heʻene fetaulaki mo kinautolu naʻa ne pehē kiate kinautolu, “Mou omi kia Ketalia ko e foha ʻAhikami,”
7 And when they came inside the town, Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, and the men who were with him, put them to death and put their bodies into a deep hole.
Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē ʻi heʻenau haʻu ki loto kolo, naʻe tāmateʻi ʻakinautolu ʻo lī ki he luo, ʻe ʻIsimeʻeli ko e foha ʻo Natania, ko ia, mo e kau tangata naʻe ʻiate ia.
8 But there were ten men among them who said to Ishmael, Do not put us to death, for we have secret stores, in the country, of grain and oil and honey. So he did not put them to death with their countrymen.
Ka naʻe ʻiate kinautolu ʻae kau tangata ʻe toko hongofulu, naʻe lea kia ʻIsimeʻeli, ʻo pehē, “ʻOua naʻa ke tāmateʻi ʻakimautolu he ʻoku ʻiate kimautolu ʻae ngaahi koloa kuo fakafufū ʻi he ngaahi ngoue, ko e uite, mo e paʻale, mo e lolo, pea mo e meʻa huʻamelie.” Ko ia naʻa ne tafoki, pea naʻe ʻikai tāmateʻi ʻakinautolu mo honau kāinga.
9 Now the hole into which Ishmael had put the dead bodies of the men whom he had put to death, was the great hole which Asa the king had made for fear of Baasha, king of Israel: and Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, made it full of the bodies of those who had been put to death.
Pea ko e luo, ʻaia naʻe lī ki ai ʻe ʻIsimeʻeli ʻae ʻangaʻanga ʻoe kau tangata, naʻa ne tāmateʻi fakataha mo Ketalia, ko ia pe naʻe ngaohi ʻe he tuʻi ko ʻAsa, ko ʻene manavahē kia Paʻasa ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli; pea ko ia, naʻe fakapito aki ia ʻae kakai kuo tāmateʻi, ʻe ʻIsimeʻeli ko e foha ʻo Natania.
10 Then Ishmael took away as prisoners all the rest of the people who were in Mizpah, the king's daughters and all the people still in Mizpah, whom Nebuzaradan, the captain of the armed men, had put under the care of Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam: Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, took them away prisoners with the purpose of going over to the children of Ammon.
Pea naʻe fakapōpula ʻe ʻIsimeʻeli ʻae toenga kakai kotoa pē naʻe ʻi Misipa, ʻae ʻofefine ʻoe tuʻi, pea mo e kakai kotoa pē naʻe toe ʻi Misipa, ʻakinautolu naʻe fakanofo ʻe Nepusaatani ko e ʻeiki ʻoe kau tau ke pule ki ai ʻa Ketalia, ko e foha ʻo ʻAhikami: pea naʻe ʻave fakapōpula ʻakinautolu ʻe ʻIsimeʻeli ko e foha ʻo Natania, pea naʻe ʻalu atu ia ki he kau ʻAmoni.
11 But when Johanan, the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the armed forces who were with him, had news of all the evil which Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, had done,
Pea kuo fanongo ʻa Sohanani, ko e foha ʻo Kalia, pea mo e houʻeikitau kotoa pē naʻe ʻiate ia, ki he kovi kotoa pē kuo fai ʻe ʻIsimeʻeli ko e foha ʻo Natania,
12 They took their men and went out to make war on Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, and they came face to face with him by the great waters in Gibeon.
Naʻa nau ʻave ʻae kau tangata kotoa pē, ʻonau ō ke tauʻi ʻa ʻIsimeʻeli ko e foha ʻo Natania, pea naʻe ʻilo ia ʻi he kauvai lahi ʻaia ʻoku ʻi Kipione.
13 Now when all the people who were with Ishmael saw Johanan, the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces with him, then they were glad.
Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻi he mamata ʻe he kakai kotoa pē naʻe ʻia ʻIsimeʻeli ʻa Sohanani ko e foha ʻo Kalia, pea mo e houʻeikitau kotoa pē naʻe ʻiate ia, naʻa nau fiefia.
14 And all the people whom Ishmael had taken away prisoners from Mizpah, turning round, came back and went to Johanan, the son of Kareah.
Pea ko e kakai kotoa pē naʻe ʻave fakapōpula ʻe ʻIsimeʻeli mei Misipa, naʻa nau tafoki mai ʻo toe haʻu kia Sohanani ko e foha ʻo Kalia.
15 But Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, got away from Johanan, with eight men, and went to the children of Ammon.
Ka naʻe hola meia Sohanani ʻa ʻIsimeʻeli ko e foha ʻo Natania mo e kau tangata ʻe toko valu, ʻo ʻalu ki he kau ʻAmoni.
16 Then Johanan, the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces who were with him, took all the rest of the people whom Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, had made prisoners, after he had put to death Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam, the people from Mizpah, that is, the men of war and the women and the children and the unsexed servants, whom he had taken back with him from Gibeon:
Pea hili hono tāmateʻi ʻa Ketalia ko e foha ʻo ʻAhikami, naʻe toki ʻave ʻe Sopanani ko e foha ʻo Kalia, ʻae houʻeikitau kotoa pē naʻe ʻiate ia, pea mo e toenga kakai kotoa pē ʻaia naʻe toe maʻu meia ʻIsimeʻeli ko e foha ʻo Natania, mei Misipa, ko e kau tau mālohi, mo e kau fefine, mo e fānau, pea mo e kau tangata talifekau ʻaia kuo toe omi mei Kipione:
17 And they went and were living in the resting-place of Chimham, which is near Beth-lehem on the way into Egypt,
Pea naʻa nau ʻalu, ʻo nofo ʻi he potu ʻo Kimami, ʻaia ʻoku ofi ki Petelihema, koeʻuhi ke ʻalu ki ʻIsipite,
18 Because of the Chaldaeans: for they were in fear of them because Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, had put to death Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam, whom the king of Babylon had made ruler over the land.
Koeʻuhi ko e kau Kalitia: he naʻa nau manavahē kiate kinautolu, koeʻuhi kuo tāmateʻi ʻe ʻIsimeʻeli ko e foha ʻo Natania ʻa Ketalia ko e foha ʻo ʻAhikami, ʻaia kuo fakanofo ʻe he tuʻi ʻo Papilone ke pule ʻi he fonua.
