Jeremiah 41
New International Version
41 In the seventh month Ishmael(A) son of Nethaniah, the son of Elishama, who was of royal blood and had been one of the king’s officers, came with ten men to Gedaliah son of Ahikam at Mizpah. While they were eating together there, 2 Ishmael(B) son of Nethaniah and the ten men who were with him got up and struck down Gedaliah son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, with the sword,(C) killing the one whom the king of Babylon had appointed(D) as governor over the land.(E) 3 Ishmael also killed all the men of Judah who were with Gedaliah at Mizpah, as well as the Babylonian[a] soldiers who were there.
4 The day after Gedaliah’s assassination, before anyone knew about it, 5 eighty men who had shaved off their beards,(F) torn their clothes(G) and cut(H) themselves came from Shechem,(I) Shiloh(J) and Samaria,(K) bringing grain offerings and incense(L) with them to the house of the Lord.(M) 6 Ishmael son of Nethaniah went out from Mizpah to meet them, weeping(N) as he went. When he met them, he said, “Come to Gedaliah son of Ahikam.”(O) 7 When they went into the city, Ishmael son of Nethaniah and the men who were with him slaughtered them and threw them into a cistern.(P) 8 But ten of them said to Ishmael, “Don’t kill us! We have wheat and barley, olive oil and honey, hidden in a field.”(Q) So he let them alone and did not kill them with the others. 9 Now the cistern where he threw all the bodies of the men he had killed along with Gedaliah was the one King Asa(R) had made as part of his defense(S) against Baasha(T) king of Israel. Ishmael son of Nethaniah filled it with the dead.
10 Ishmael made captives of all the rest of the people(U) who were in Mizpah—the king’s daughters(V) along with all the others who were left there, over whom Nebuzaradan commander of the imperial guard had appointed Gedaliah son of Ahikam. Ishmael son of Nethaniah took them captive and set out to cross over to the Ammonites.(W)
11 When Johanan(X) son of Kareah and all the army officers who were with him heard about all the crimes Ishmael son of Nethaniah had committed, 12 they took all their men and went to fight(Y) Ishmael son of Nethaniah. They caught up with him near the great pool(Z) in Gibeon. 13 When all the people(AA) Ishmael had with him saw Johanan son of Kareah and the army officers who were with him, they were glad. 14 All the people Ishmael had taken captive at Mizpah(AB) turned and went over to Johanan son of Kareah. 15 But Ishmael son of Nethaniah and eight of his men escaped(AC) from Johanan and fled to the Ammonites.
Flight to Egypt
16 Then Johanan son of Kareah and all the army officers(AD) who were with him led away all the people of Mizpah who had survived,(AE) whom Johanan had recovered from Ishmael son of Nethaniah after Ishmael had assassinated Gedaliah son of Ahikam—the soldiers, women, children and court officials he had recovered from Gibeon. 17 And they went on, stopping at Geruth Kimham(AF) near Bethlehem(AG) on their way to Egypt(AH) 18 to escape the Babylonians.[b] They were afraid(AI) of them because Ishmael son of Nethaniah had killed Gedaliah(AJ) son of Ahikam, whom the king of Babylon had appointed as governor over the land.

Insurrection Against Gedaliah
41 Now it came to pass in the seventh month (A)that Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, the son of Elishama, of the royal [a]family and of the officers of the king, came with ten men to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, at (B)Mizpah. And there they ate bread together in Mizpah. 2 Then Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, and the ten men who were with him, arose and (C)struck Gedaliah the son of (D)Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, with the sword, and killed him whom the king of Babylon had made (E)governor over the land. 3 Ishmael also struck down all the Jews who were with him, that is, with Gedaliah at Mizpah, and the Chaldeans who were found there, the men of war.
4 And it happened, on the second day after he had killed Gedaliah, when as yet no one knew it, 5 that certain men came from Shechem, from Shiloh, and from Samaria, eighty men (F)with their beards shaved and their clothes torn, having cut themselves, with offerings and incense in their hand, to bring them to (G)the house of the Lord. 6 Now Ishmael the son of Nethaniah went out from Mizpah to meet them, weeping as he went along; and it happened as he met them that he said to them, “Come to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam!” 7 So it was, when they came into the midst of the city, that Ishmael the son of Nethaniah (H)killed them and cast them into the midst of a [b]pit, he and the men who were with him. 8 But ten men were found among them who said to Ishmael, “Do not kill us, for we have treasures of wheat, barley, oil, and honey in the field.” So he desisted and did not kill them among their brethren. 9 Now the [c]pit into which Ishmael had cast all the dead bodies of the men whom he had slain, because of Gedaliah, was (I)the same one Asa the king had made for fear of Baasha king of Israel. Ishmael the son of Nethaniah filled it with the slain. 10 Then Ishmael carried away captive all the (J)rest of the people who were in Mizpah, (K)the king’s daughters and all the people who remained in Mizpah, (L)whom Nebuzaradan 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 (M)the Ammonites.
11 But when (N)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, 12 they took all the men and went to fight with Ishmael the son of Nethaniah; and they found him by (O)the great pool that is in Gibeon. 13 So it was, when all the people who were with Ishmael saw Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces who were with him, that they were glad. 14 Then all the people whom Ishmael had carried away captive from Mizpah turned around and came back, and went to Johanan the son of Kareah. 15 But Ishmael the son of Nethaniah escaped from Johanan with eight men and went to the Ammonites.
16 Then Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces that were with him, took from Mizpah all the (P)rest of the people whom he had recovered from Ishmael the son of Nethaniah after he had murdered Gedaliah the son of Ahikam—the mighty men of war and the women and the children and the eunuchs, whom he had brought back from Gibeon. 17 And they departed and dwelt in the habitation of (Q)Chimham, which is near Bethlehem, as they went on their way to (R)Egypt, 18 because of the Chaldeans; for they were afraid of them, because Ishmael the son of Nethaniah had murdered Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, (S)whom the king of Babylon had made governor in the land.

Ang Dating Biblia (1905)
41 Nangyari nga, nang ikapitong buwan, na si Ismael na anak ni Nethanias, na anak ni Elisama, na lahing hari, at isa sa mga punong oficial ng hari, at sangpung lalake na kasama niya, ay nagsiparoon kay Gedalias na anak ni Ahicam sa Mizpa; at doo'y magkasama silang nagsikain ng tinapay sa Mizpa.
2 Nang magkagayo'y tumindig si Ismael na anak ni Nethanias, at ang sangpung lalake na kasama niya, at sinugatan ng tabak, si Gedalias na anak ni Ahicam na anak ni Saphan, at pinatay siya, na ginawang tagapamahala sa lupain ng hari sa Babilonia.
3 Pinatay rin naman ni Ismael ang lahat na Judio na kasama niya, na kasama ni Gedalias, sa Mizpa, at ang mga Caldeo na nangasumpungan doon, sa makatuwid baga'y ang mga lalaking mangdidigma.
4 At nangyari, nang ikalawang araw, pagkatapos na kaniyang mapatay si Gedalias, at wala pang lalaking nakakaalam,
5 Na nagsiparoon ang mga lalake na mula sa Sichem, mula sa Silo, at mula sa Samaria, sa makatuwid baga'y walong pung lalake, na may mga ahit na balbas at may mga hapak na kasuutan, at may mga kudlit, may mga alay at mga kamangyan sa kanilang kamay, upang dalhin sa bahay ng Panginoon.
6 At si Ismael na anak ni Nethanias ay lumabas na mula sa Mizpa upang salubungin sila, na umiiyak siya habang lumalakad: at nangyari, pagkasalubong niya sa kanila, sinabi niya sa kanila, Magsiparoon kayo kay Gedalias na anak ni Ahicam.
7 At nangyari, na nang sila'y pumasok sa gitna ng bayan, na pinatay sila ni Ismael na anak ni Nethanias at inihagis sila sa hukay, niya at ng mga lalake na kasama niya.
8 Nguni't sangpung lalake ay nangasumpungan sa kanila na nangagsabi kay Ismael, Huwag mo kaming patayin; sapagka't kami ay may mga kayamanan na kubli sa parang, na trigo, at cebada, at langis, at pulot. Sa gayo'y nagpigil siya, at hindi niya pinatay sila sa gitna ng kanilang mga kapatid.
9 Ang hukay nga na pinagtapunan ni Ismael ng lahat ng bangkay ng mga tao na kaniyang pinatay, sa siping ni Gedalias, (siya ring ginawa ni Asa na hari dahil sa takot kay Baasa na hari sa Israel), pinuno ni Ismael na anak ni Nethanias ng nangapatay.
10 Nang magkagayo'y dinalang bihag ni Ismael ang lahat na nangalabi sa bayan na nangasa Mizpa, sa makatuwid baga'y ang mga anak na babae ng hari, at ang buong bayan na nalabi sa Mizpa, na siyang mga ibinilin ni Nabuzaradan na kapitan ng bantay kay Gedalias na anak ni Ahicam; sila'y dinalang bihag ni Ismael na anak ni Nethanias, at nagpatuloy na yumaon sa mga anak ni Ammon.
11 Nguni't nang mabalitaan ni Johanan na anak ni Carea, at ng lahat na kapitan sa mga kawal na kasama niya, ang buong kasamaan na ginawa ni Ismael na anak ni Nethanias,
12 Ipinagsama nga nila ang lahat na lalake, at sila'y nagsiyaong lumaban kay Ismael na anak ni Nethanias, at nasumpungan nila siya sa tabi ng malaking bukal na nasa Gabaon.
13 Nangyari nga, nang makita ng buong bayan na kasama ni Ismael si Johanan na anak ni Carea at ang lahat ng kapitan sa mga kawal na kasama niya, sila nga'y nangatuwa.
14 Sa gayo'y ang buong bayan na dinalang bihag ni Ismael na mula sa Mizpa, ay pumihit at bumalik, at naparoon kay Johanan na anak ni Carea.
15 Nguni't si Ismael na anak ni Nethanias ay tumanan mula kay Johanan na kasama ng walong lalake, at naparoon sa mga anak ni Ammon.
16 Nang magkagayo'y kinuha ni Johanan na anak ni Carea at ng lahat ng kapitan sa mga kawal na kasama niya, ang lahat na nalabi sa bayan na kaniyang nabawi kay Ismael na anak ni Nethanias, mula sa Mizpa, pagkatapos na kaniyang mapatay si Gedalias na anak ni Ahicam, sa makatuwid ang mga lalaking magdidigma, at ang mga babae, at ang mga bata, at ang mga bating, na kaniyang mga ibinalik mula sa Gabaon;
17 At sila'y nagsiyaon at nagsitahan sa Geruth chimham, na malapit sa Bethlehem upang pumaroong masok sa Egipto.
18 Dahil sa mga Caldeo; sapagka't sila'y nangatakot sa kanila, sapagka't pinatay ni Ismael na anak ni Nethanias si Gedalias na anak ni Ahicam, na ginawang tagapamahala sa lupain ng hari sa Babilonia.
