< Jeremiah 41 >

1 Now it came to pass in the seventh month, [that] Ishmael the son of Nethaniah the son of Elishama, of the seed royal, and the princes of the king, even ten men with him, came unto Gedaliah the son of Ahikam to Mizpah; and there they did eat bread together in Mizpah.
Ke malem akitkosr in yac sac, Ishmael, wen natul Nethaniah ac nutin natul Elishama, su sie sin mwet in sou in leum ac sie mwet fulat lun tokosra, el som nu Mizpah. El us mukul singoul welul in tuh osun nu sel Governor Gedaliah. Ke elos nukewa tukeni mongo,
2 Then arose Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, 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.
na Ishmael ac mukul singoul ma welul, fwauk cutlass natulos ac unilya Gedaliah.
3 Ishmael also slew all the Jews that were with him, [even] with Gedaliah, at Mizpah, and the Chaldeans that were found there, [and] the men of war.
Ishmael el oayapa onela mwet Israel nukewa su welul Gedaliah muta Mizpah, wi mwet mweun lun Babylonia ma oasr we in pacl sac.
4 And it came to pass the second day after he had slain Gedaliah, and no man knew [it],
Len se toko ah, meet liki kutena mwet etauk lah Gedaliah el anwuki,
5 That there came certain from Shechem, from Shiloh, and from Samaria, [even] fourscore men, having their beards shaven, and their clothes rent, and having cut themselves, with offerings and incense in their hand, to bring [them] to the house of the LORD.
mwet oalngoul tuku Shechem, Shiloh, ac Samaria me. Elos tuh resaela altalos, seseya nuknuk lalos, ac sipik manolos. Elos utuk wheat ac mwe keng in tuh kisakin in Tempul.
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, as he met them, he said unto them, Come to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam.
Na Ishmael el illa liki Mizpah in sonolos, ac ke el fahsr el tung. Ke el sonolos el fahk, “Nunak munas, fahsru liyal Gedaliah.”
7 And it was [so], when they came into the midst of the city, that Ishmael the son of Nethaniah slew them, [and cast them] into the midst of the pit, he, and the men that [were] with him.
Ke pacl se na elos ilyak nu in siti uh, Ishmael ac mwet lal elos onelosi ac siselosyang nu in lufin kof se.
8 But ten men were found among them that said unto Ishmael, Slay us not: for we have treasures in the field, of wheat, and of barley, and of oil, and of honey. So he forbare, and slew them not among their brethren.
Tusruktu oasr mwet singoul sin u sac su fahk nu sel Ishmael, “Nunak munas, nimet unikuti! Oasr wheat, barley, oil in olive, ac honey kut okanla in ima ah.” Ke ma inge el tia onelosi.
9 Now the pit wherein Ishmael had cast all the dead bodies of the men, whom he had slain because of Gedaliah, [was] it which Asa the king had made for fear of Baasha king of Israel: [and] Ishmael the son of Nethaniah filled it with [them that were] slain.
Lufin kof se ma Ishmael el sisang monin mwet ma el uniya nu loac ah, pa lufin kof lulap se ma Tokosra Asa el tuh pukanak ke pacl se Tokosra Baasha lun Israel el mweun lainul. Ishmael el nwakla lufin kof sac ke mano misa inge.
10 Then Ishmael carried away captive all the residue of the people that [were] in Mizpah, [even] the king’s daughters, and all the people that remained in Mizpah, whom Nebuzar-adan the captain of the guard had committed to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam: and Ishmael the son of Nethaniah carried them away captive, and departed to go over to the Ammonites.
Na el kapriya pac acn nutin tokosra ac mwet saya nukewa in acn Mizpah, su captain fulat Nebuzaradan el tuh fililya Gedaliah elan karingnalosyang. Ishmael el eisalos mwet sruoh ac mukuiyak nu in facl lun mwet Ammon.
11 But when 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,
Johanan ac mwet kol nukewa lun un mwet mweun ma welul elos lohng ke akmas ma Ishmael el oru.
12 Then they took all the men, and went to fight with Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, and found him by the great waters that [are] in Gibeon.
Ouinge elos us mwet mweun lalos ac ukwal nwe ke elos sonol apkuran nu ke lulu in kof na yohk se in acn Gibeon.
13 Now it came to pass, [that] 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, then they were glad.
Ke mwet nukewa ma sruoh sel Ishmael elos liyalak Johanan ac mwet kol lun un mwet mweun ma welul, elos enganak,
14 So all the people that Ishmael had carried away captive from Mizpah cast about and returned, and went unto Johanan the son of Kareah.
ac forla ac kasrusr nu yorolos.
15 But Ishmael the son of Nethaniah escaped from Johanan with eight men, and went to the Ammonites.
Tusruktu Ishmael ac oalkosr sin mwet lal kaingla lukel Johanan, ac som nu in acn sin mwet Ammon.
16 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 [that] he had slain Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, [even] mighty men of war, and the women, and the children, and the eunuchs, whom he had brought again from Gibeon:
Na Johanan ac mwet kol lun un mwet mweun su welul, elos eis mwet mweun, mutan, tulik ac mwet eunuch su Ishmael el tuh usla liki acn Mizpah tukun el unilya Gedaliah.
17 And they departed, and dwelt in the habitation of Chimham, which is by Beth-lehem, to go to enter into Egypt,
Na elos som nu Geruth Chimham, apkuran nu Bethlehem, ac akoo in mukuiyak som nu Egypt
18 Because of the Chaldeans: for they were afraid of them, because Ishmael the son of Nethaniah had slain Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, whom the king of Babylon made governor in the land.
ke sripen elos sangeng sin mwet Babylonia, mweyen Ishmael el tuh unilya Gedaliah, mwet se tokosra lun Babylonia el srisrngiya elan governor lun acn Judah.
