< Jeremiah 41 >

1 And it came to pass in the seventh month, that Ishmael son of Nethaniah son of Elishama of the seed royal and chiefs of the king, and ten men with him, came in, unto Gedaliah son of Ahikam, at Mizpah, —and they did there eat bread together in Mizpah.
七月间,王的大臣宗室以利沙玛的孙子、尼探雅的儿子以实玛利带着十个人,来到米斯巴见亚希甘的儿子基大利。他们在米斯巴一同吃饭。
2 Then arose Ishmael son of Nethaniah—and the ten men who were with him and they smote Gedaliah son of Ahikam son of Shaphan—with the sword and slew him whom the king of Babylon had set in charge, over the land.
尼探雅的儿子以实玛利和同他来的那十个人起来,用刀杀了沙番的孙子亚希甘的儿子基大利,就是巴比伦王所立为全地省长的。
3 And Ishmael smote, all the Jews who were with him even with Gedaliah in Mizpah, and the Chaldeans who were found there the men of war.
以实玛利又杀了在米斯巴、基大利那里的一切犹大人和所遇见的迦勒底兵丁。
4 And it came to pass, on the second day, after he had slain Gedaliah, not, a man, knowing it,
他杀了基大利,无人知道。
5 that men came in from Shechem, from Shiloh, and from Samaria, —eighty men, with beards shaven and clothes rent who also had cut themselves, with a meal-offering and frankincense in their hand, to bring them into the house of Yahweh.
第二天,有八十人从示剑和示罗,并撒马利亚来,胡须剃去,衣服撕裂,身体划破,手拿素祭和乳香,要奉到耶和华的殿。
6 Then went forth Ishmael son of Nethaniah to meet them out of Mizpah, weeping all along as he went, —and it came to pass when he fell in with them, that he said unto them, Come ye in unto Gedaliah son of Ahikam.
尼探雅的儿子以实玛利出米斯巴迎接他们,随走随哭;遇见了他们,就对他们说:“你们可以来见亚希甘的儿子基大利。”
7 And so it was when they had come into the midst of the city, that Ishmael son of Nethaniah slew them and cast them into the midst of a pit, he and the men who were with him.
他们到了城中,尼探雅的儿子以实玛利和同着他的人就将他们杀了,抛在坑中。
8 But, ten men, were found among them, who said unto Ishmael—Do not put us to death, for we have secret treasures in the field, wheat and barley and oil and honey, So he forbare and put them not to death in the midst of their brethren.
只是他们中间有十个人对以实玛利说:“不要杀我们,因为我们有许多大麦、小麦、油、蜜藏在田间。”于是他住了手,没有将他们杀在弟兄中间。
9 Now the pit whereinto Ishmael cast all the dead bodies of the men whom he had smitten, was a large pit which King Asa had made for fear of Baasha king of Israel, —the same, did Ishmael son of Nethaniah fill with the slain,
以实玛利将所杀之人的尸首都抛在坑里基大利的旁边;这坑是从前亚撒王因怕以色列王巴沙所挖的。尼探雅的儿子以实玛利将那些被杀的人填满了坑。
10 Then did Ishmael take captive all the remnant of the people that was in Mizpah, —the daughters of the king, and all the people that were left remaining in Mizpah, whom Nebuzaradan chief of the royal executioners had committed unto Gedaliah son of Ahikam, —yea Ishmael son of Nethaniah took them captive, and departed to pass over unto the sons of Ammon.
以实玛利将米斯巴剩下的人,就是众公主和仍住在米斯巴所有的百姓,原是护卫长尼布撒拉旦交给亚希甘的儿子基大利的,都掳去了。尼探雅的儿子以实玛利掳了他们,要往亚扪人那里去。
11 But when Johanan son of Kareah and all the captains of the forces who were with him heard of all the wickedness which Ishmael son of Nethaniah had done,
加利亚的儿子约哈难和同着他的众军长听见尼探雅的儿子以实玛利所行的一切恶,
12 then took they all the men, and went their way to fight with Ishmael son of Nethaniah, —and found him near the many waters which were in Gibeon.
就带领众人前往,要和尼探雅的儿子以实玛利争战,在基遍的大水旁遇见他。
13 And it came to pass, when all the people who were with Ishmael saw Johanan son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces who were with him, then were they glad.
以实玛利那里的众人看见加利亚的儿子约哈难和同着他的众军长,就都欢喜。
14 So all the people whom Ishmael had carried away captive out of Mizpah, compassed about, and returned and went their way unto Johanan son of Kareah.
这样,以实玛利从米斯巴所掳去的众人都转身归加利亚的儿子约哈难去了。
15 But, Ishmael son of Nethaniah, escaped with eight men, from the face of Johanan, —and departed unto the sons of Ammon.
尼探雅的儿子以实玛利和八个人脱离约哈难的手,逃往亚扪人那里去了。
16 Then did Johanan son of Kareah and all the captains of the forces who were with him take all the remnant of the people whom he had recovered from Ishmael son of Nethaniah out of Mizpah, after he had smitten Gedaliah son of Ahikam, —mighty men, men of war, and women and children and eunuchs, whom he had recovered out of Gibeon;
尼探雅的儿子以实玛利杀了亚希甘的儿子基大利,从米斯巴将剩下的一切百姓、兵丁、妇女、孩童、太监掳到基遍之后,加利亚的儿子约哈难和同着他的众军长将他们都夺回来,
17 and they departed, and dwelt in the khan of Chimham, which is near Bethlehem, —that they might go to enter Egypt;
带到靠近伯利恒的金罕寓住下,要进入埃及去;
18 because of the Chaldeans, for they were afraid of them, —because Ishmael son of Nethaniah had smitten Gedaliah son of Ahikam, whom the king of Babylon had set in charge over the land.
因为尼探雅的儿子以实玛利杀了巴比伦王所立为省长的亚希甘的儿子基大利,约哈难惧怕迦勒底人。
