Jeremi 41
1 Nan setyèm mwa a, Izmayèl, pitit Netanya, pitit pitit Elichama, rive Mispa ansanm ak dis lòt moun pou li vin wè Gedalya, pitit Akikam. Izmayèl te yon ti fanmi wa a. Se te yon gwo chèf nan gouvènman wa a. Pandan yo chita konsa sou tab ap manje lakay Gedalya,
Now it came to pass in the seventh month, that Ishmael the son of Nethanyah the son of Elishama', of the royal seed, and the chiefs of the king, even ten men with him, came unto Gedalyahu the son of Achikam to Mizpah; and they ate there bread together in Mizpah.
2 Izmayèl leve ansanm ak dis moun li yo, yo rale nepe yo, yo touye Gedalya, nonm wa Babilòn lan te mete pou gouvènen peyi a.
Then arose Ishmael the son of Nethanyah, and the ten men that were with him, and smote Gedalyahu the son of Achikam the son of Shaphan with the sword, and put to death him, whom the king of Babylon had appointed governor over the land.
3 Apre sa, yo touye tout gason jwif ki te lavil Mispa avèk Gedalya. Yo touye tout sòlda moun Babilòn ki te la tou.
And all the Jews that were with him, even with Gedalyahu, at Mizpah, and the Chaldeans that were found there, even the men of war, did Ishmael slay.
4 Yo te fin ansasinen Gedalya a depi de jou, nouvèl la pa t' ankò gaye.
And it came to pass on the second day after he had put Gedalyahu to death, while no man knew of it,
5 Se konsa katreven gason ki te soti lavil Sichèm, lavil Silo ak lavil Samari vin rive. Yo te koupe tout bab nan figi yo, yo te gen rad chire sou yo, tout kò yo te plen mak kouto. Yo te pote grenn jaden ak lansan pou ofri nan tanp Jerizalèm lan.
That there came certain men from Shechem, from Shiloh, and from Samaria, eighty men [in all], having their beards shaven, and their clothes rent, and having cut themselves, with meat-offerings and frankincense in their hand, to bring the same to the house of the Lord.
6 Izmayèl kite Mispa, li soti al kontre yo, de ran dlo nan je l'. Lè li rive sou yo li di konsa: -Vini non, ann al kay Gedalya!
And Ishmael the son of Nethanyah went forth from Mizpah to meet them, going along and weeping: and it came to pass as he met them, that he said unto them, Come to Gedalyahu the son of Achikam.
7 Men rive yo rive nan mitan lavil Mispa, Izmayèl ansanm ak mesye l' yo touye yo, lèfini yo lage kadav yo nan yon sitèn.
And it happened, as they entered into the midst of the city, that Ishmael the son of Nethanyah slaughtered them, [and cast them] into the midst of the cistern, he, and the men that were with him.
8 Men gen dis nan moun sa yo ki te di Izmayèl konsa: -Pa touye nou paske nou gen pwovizyon kache nan jaden nou yo, ble, lòj, lwil ak siwo myèl. Se konsa Izmayèl pa t' touye sa yo ansanm ak lòt yo.
But ten men were found among them that said unto Ishmael, Slay us not; for we have some things hidden in the field, [such as] wheat, and barley, and oil, and honey. So he forbore, and slew them not in the midst of their brethren.
9 Sitèn kote Izmayèl te jete kadav moun li te touye yo, se gwo sitèn wa Asa te fè fouye lè Basa, wa peyi Izrayèl la, te vin atake l' la. Se sitèn sa a Izmayèl te plen ak kadav yo.
And the cistern wherein Ishmael cast all the corpses of the men, whom he had slain in company with Gedalyahu, is the same which king Assa had made on account of Ba'sha the king of Israel: this did Ishmael the son of Nethanyah fill with slain persons.
10 Apre sa, Izmayèl mache pran tout pitit fi wa a ansanm ak tout rès moun ki te lavil Mispa, moun Neboucharadan, chèf lagad la, te kite sou kont Gedalya. Li fè yo prizonye. Li pati ak yo, li pran direksyon peyi moun Amon yo.
Then did Ishmael carry away captive all the residue of the people that were in Mizpah, the king's daughters, and all the people that were remaining in Mizpah, whom Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard had entrusted to Gedalyahu the son of Achikam: and Ishmael the son of Nethanyah carried them away captive, and went off to pass over to the children of Ammon.
11 Jokanan, pitit Karejak la, ansanm ak lòt chèf lame ki te avè l' yo vin konnen tout mechanste Izmayèl, pitit Netanya a, te fè.
But when Jochanan the son of Kareach, and all the captains of the armies that were with him, heard of all the evil that Ishmael the son of Nethanyah had done:
12 Yo pran tout sòlda yo, yo pati dèyè l'. Yo jwenn li bò gwo letan Gabawon an.
Then did they take all the men, and went to fight with Ishmael the son of Nethanyah, and found him by the great water[-pool] that is near Gib'on.
13 Lè moun Izmayèl te fè prizonye yo wè Jokanan avèk chèf lame ki avè l' yo, yo te kontan.
And it came to pass, when all the people who were with Ishmael saw Jochanan the son of Kareach, and all the captains of the armies that were with him, that they were rejoiced.
14 Lè sa a, tout moun Izmayèl te fè prizonye lavil Mispa yo kase tèt tounen, yo kouri vin jwenn Jokanan.
And all the people that Ishmael had carried away captive from Mizpah turned about and returned, and went unto Jochanan the son of Kareach.
15 Izmayèl menm ansanm ak wit nan moun pa l' yo kouri pou Jokanan, yo chape kò yo nan peyi Amon an.
But Ishmael the son of Nethanyah escaped with eight men from the presence of Jochanan, and he went to the children of 'Ammon.
16 Apre sa, Jokanan ak chèf lame ki te avè l' yo pran sou kont yo tout moun Izmayèl te fè prizonye lavil Mispa apre li menm Izmayèl te fin touye Gedalya a. Jokanan pran avè l' gason yo, ki vle di sòlda yo, fanm yo, timoun yo, moun konfyans yo, tout moun li te jwenn lavil Gabawon.
Then took Jochanan the son of Kareach, and all the captains of the armies that were with him, all the remnant of the people whom he had recovered from Ishmael the son of Nethanyah, from Mizpah, after he had slain Gedalyah the son of Achikam, the adult males, the men of war, and the women, and the children, and the eunuchs, whom he had brought back from Gib'on;
17 Yo fè yon ti rete nan lotèl Kimean an, toupre lavil Betleyèm. Yo te fè lide desann peyi Lejip
And they went, and remained in Geruth-Kimham, which is by Beth-lechem, to go to enter into Egypt,
18 paske yo te pè moun Babilòn yo, depi Izmayèl te fin touye Gedalya, moun wa Babilòn lan te mete pou gouvènen peyi a.
Because of the Chaldeans; for they were afraid of them; because Ishmael the son of Nethanyah had slain Gedalyahu the son of Achikam, whom the king of Babylon had appointed governor over the land.
