Jeremiah 41
1 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.
Men i sjunde månadenom kom Ismael, Nethanja son, Elisama sons, af Konungsligo slägt, samt med Konungens öfverstar, och tio män med honom, till Gedalia, Ahikams son, i Mizpa, och der åto de tillhopa med hvarannan i Mizpa.
2 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.
Och Ismael, Nethanja son, stod upp, och de tio män som med honom voro, och slogo Gedalia, Ahikams son, Saphans sons, ihjäl med svärd, derföre att Konungen i Babel honom öfver hela landet satt hade.
3 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.
Dertill slog Ismael alla de Judar, som när Gedalia voro i Mizpa, och de Chaldeer som der funnos, och alla krigsmännerna.
4 And it came to pass the second day after he had killed Gedaliah, and no man knew it,
Den andra dagen derefter, sedan Gedalia son var, och det ännu ingen visste,
5 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.
Kommo åttatio män af Sichem, af Silo, och Samarien, och hade rakat af skägget, och sönderrifvit sin kläder, och sargat sig, och båro spisoffer och rökelse med sig, att de det skulle offra uti Herrans hus.
6 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.
Och Ismael, Nethanja son, gick ut ifrå Mizpa emot dem; gick och gret. Som han nu kom till dem, sade han till dem: I skolen komma till Gedalia, Ahikams son.
7 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.
Men då de kommo midt in uti staden, drap dem Ismael, Nethanja son, och de män, som med honom voro, vid brunnen.
8 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.
Men der voro tio män ibland, de sade till Ismael: Käre, slå oss icke ihjäl; vi hafve ägodelar i åkrenom, af hvete, bjugg, oljo och hannog. Alltså höll han upp, och drap dem icke med de andra.
9 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.
Men brunnen, der Ismael de dödas kroppar uti kastade, som han slagit hade, samt med Gedalia, är den som Konung Asa göra lät emot Baesa, Israels Konung; honom uppfyllde nu Ismael, Nethanja son, med de slagna.
10 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.
Och det folk, som qvart var i Mizpa, och Konungens döttrar, förde Ismael, Nethanja son, bort för fångar, samt med allt det folk som igenlåtet var i Mizpa, öfver hvilka NebuzarAdan, höfvitsmannen, Gedalia, Ahikams son, satt hade, och drog bort, och ville öfver in till Ammons barn.
11 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;
Men då Johanan, Kareahs son, med alla de höfvitsmän som med honom voro, fingo veta allt det onda, som Ismael, Nethanja son, bedrifvit hade,
12 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.
Togo de allt folket till sig, och drogo bort emot Ismael, Nethanja son, till strids, och kommo till honom vid det stora vattnet i Gibeon.
13 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.
Då nu allt folket, som var med Ismael, sågo Johanan, Kareahs son, och alla de höfvitsmän som när honom voro, vordo de glade.
14 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.
Och allt det folk, som Ismael hade bortfört ifrå Mizpa, vände tillbaka, och föllo intill Johanan, Kareahs son.
15 But Ishmael the son of Nethaniah escaped from Johanan with eight men, and went to the children of Ammon.
Men Ismael, Nethanja son, undkom Johanan med åtta män, och drog in till Ammons barn.
16 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;
Och Johanan, Kareahs son, samt med alla höfvitsmännerna som med honom voro, toga allt det qvarblefna folket (som de igentagit hade ifrån Ismael, Nethanja son) af Mizpa till sig, efter det Gedalia, Ahikams son, slagen var, nämliga krigsmän, qvinnor och barn, och kamererare, som de af Gibeon igenhemtat hade;
17 and they departed, and dwelt at Geruth-Chimham, which is by Bethlehem, to go to enter into Egypt,
Och droga bortåt, och kommo till herberge till Chimham vid BethLehem, och ville draga in uti Egypten,
18 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.
För de Chaldeer; förty de fruktade sig för dem, efter Ismael, Nethanja son, hade dräpit Gedalia, Ahikams son, den Konungen i Babel öfver landet satt hade.
