Jeremiah 41

1 Ishmael was a member of the king’s family. He had been one of King Zedekiah’s important officials. In October of that year, he went to Mizpah with ten other men to [talk with] Gedaliah. While they were eating together,

I KA hiku o ka malama, hiki mai la keia mau mea; o Isemaela, ke keiki a Netania, ke keiki a Elisama, no ka hanauna alii, a me na luna o ke alii, he umi kanaka pu me ia, hele mai la lakou ia Gedalia, i ke keiki a Ahikama, ma Mizepa; a malaila lakou i ai pu ai i ka berena ma Mizepa.

2 Ishmael and the other ten men jumped up, and with their swords they killed Gedaliah—the man whom the king of Babylon had appointed to be their governor!

Alaila, ku mai la o Isemaela, ke keiki a Netania, a me na kanaka he umi e noho pu ana me ia, a pepehi iho la ia Gedalia i ke keiki a Ahikama, i ke keiki a Sapana i ka pahikaua, a make oia, o ka mea hoi a ke alii o Babulona i hoolilo ai i kiaaina o ia aina.

3 Ishmael [and the other men] also killed all the Jews and the soldiers from Babylonia who were with Gedaliah at Mizpah.

A pepehi no hoi o Isemaela i na Iudaio a pau e noho pu ana me ia, me Gedalia hoi ma Mizepa, a me ko Kaledea i loaa ia ia malaila, o na kanaka kaua hoi.

4 The next day, before anyone had found out that Gedaliah had been murdered,

A i ka lua o ka la mahope iho o kona pepehi ana ia Gedalia, aole kanaka i ike,

5 eighty men from Shechem, Shiloh, and Samaria [cities] came to worship at the temple of Yahweh [in Mizpah]. They had shaved off their beards and torn their clothes and cut themselves [to show that they were mourning]. And they had brought grain offerings and incense [to burn on the altar].

Alaila, hele mai la kekahi mau kanaka, mai Sekema, a mai Silo, a mai Samaria mai, he kanawalu lakou, ua kahi ko lakou nmiumi, ua haehaeia ko lakou aahu, ua okioki ia lakou iho: he mau mohai, a he mea ala ma ko lakou lima e lawe i ka hale o Iehova.

6 Ishmael went out of the city to meet them, crying as he went. When he reached them, he said, “Come [and see what has happened to] Gedaliah!”

A hele aku la o Isemaela, ke keiki a Netania, mai Mizepa aku, e halawai me lakou, a uwe no hoi i kona hele ana; a i kona halawai ana me lakou, i ae la ia ia lakou, E hele mai ia Gedalia, i ke keiki a Ahikama.

7 But as soon as they had all entered the town, Ishmael and his men killed [most of] them and threw their corpses into a well.

A ia lakou i hele ai iloko o ke kulauakauhale, Pepehi aku la o Isemaela ke keiki a Netania ia lakou, a hoolei aku la iloko o ka lua, oia, a me na kanaka pu me ia.

8 There were [only] ten of them whom they (spared/did not kill). They were not killed because they promised to Ishmael that [if he allowed them to remain alive, they would bring him] lots of wheat and barley and olive oil and honey that they had hidden.

A loaa iwaena o lakou, he umi kanaka, i mai la lakou ia Isemaela, Mai pepehi ia makou; no ka mea, he waiwai ko makou ma ka papu, he huapalaoa, he huabale, a he aila, a he meli. Nolaila, oki iho la oia, aole i pepehi pu ia lakou me ko lakou poe hoahanau.

9 The well where Ishmael’s men had thrown the corpses of the men whom they had murdered was the deep well that King Asa’s [men] had dug [in order that they would have water in the city] if the army of King Baasha of Israel would surround the city. Ishmael’s men filled that well with corpses.

O ka lua, kahi o Isemaela i hoolei ai i na kupapau a pau o na kanaka ana i pepehi aku ai me Gedalia, oia ka mea a Asa ke alii i hana'i no ka makau ia Baasa, ke alii o ka Iseraela; a hoopiha iho la o Isemaela ke keiki o Netania ia wahi i ka poe i make.

10 Then Ishmael [and his men] captured the king’s daughters and some of the other people who had been left in Mizpah by Nebuzaradan in order that Gedaliah would take care of them. Ishmael and his men took those people and started back toward the Ammon area.

Alaila, lawepio aku la o Isemaela i ke koena a pau o na kanaka ma Mizepa, i na kaikamahine a ke alii, a me na kanaka a pau i koe ma Mizepa, ka poe a Nebuzaredana, ka lunakaua i haawi ai ia Gedalia, ke keiki a Ahikama; lawepio aku la o Isemaela ke keiki a Netania ia lakou, a hele aku la, i hiki i ka Amona.

11 But Johanan and all the other leaders of the Israeli soldiers who had not surrendered to the army of Babylonia heard about what Ishmael [and his men] had done.

A lohe o Iohanana, ke keiki a Karea, a me na luna a pau o na koa me ia, i ka hewa a pau a Isemaela ke keiki a Netania i hana'i,

12 So they [immediately] went with all their men to stop them. They caught up with them at the large pool near Gibeon [city].

Alaila, lawe ae la ia i na kanaka a pau, a hele aku la, e kaua me Isemaela, i ke keiki a Netania, a loaa oia ma na wai nui ma Gibeona.

13 When all the people whom Ishmael and his men had captured saw Johanan and the soldiers who were with him, they [shouted] joyfully.

A hiki i ka manawa a na kanaka a pau me Isemaela i ike mai ai ia Iohanana, i ke keiki a Karea, a me na luna a pau o na koa me ia, alaila, olioli iho la lakou.

14 So all those who had been captured in Mizpah escaped, and they started to help Johanan.

O na kanaka a pau a Isemaela i lawepio ai, huli lakou, a hoi, a hele ia Iohanana i ke keiki a Karea.

15 But Ishmael and eight of his men escaped and fled to the Ammon area.

Pakele aku la o Isemaela ke keiki a Netania mai Iohanana aku, oia a me na kanaka ewalu i hele pu me ia i ka Amona.

16 Then Johanan and the men who were with him [gathered together] all the people whom they had rescued at Gibeon. They included soldiers and women and children and some of the king’s palace officials. They were all people whom Ishmael [and his men] had captured after they had killed Gedaliah.

Alaila, lawe o Iohanana, ke keiki a Karea a me na luna a pau o na koa me ia, i ke koena a pau o na kanaka i loaa ia ia ma Mizepa mai Isemaela mai, ke keiki a Netania mai, mahope iho o kona pepehi ana ia Gedalia, i ke keiki a Ahika ma, o na kanaka kaua a me na wahine, a me na Keiki, a me ua mea i poaia, ka poe ana i lawe ae ai, mai Gibeona mai;

17 They took them all to Geruth-Kimham [village] near Bethlehem. And they all prepared to go to Egypt.

A hele aku la lakou, a noho ma kahi noho o Kimehama, aia kokoke i Betelehema, ma ke ala e komo aku ai i Aigupita,

18 They were worried about what the soldiers of Babylonia [would do to them when they found out] that Ishmael had killed Gedaliah, who had been appointed by the King of Babylonia to be their governor.

No ko Kaledea; no ka mea, ua makau ia lakou, no ko Isemaela, ke keiki a Netania pepehi ana ia Gedalia, i ke keiki a Ahikama, ka mea a ke alii o Babulona i hoonoho ai i kiaaina no ia aina.
