Jeremias 41
Magandang Balita Biblia
41 Si(A) Ismael na anak ni Netanias at apo ni Elisama ay mula sa lahi ng hari at isa sa matataas na pinuno sa palasyo. Noong ikapitong buwan ng taóng iyon, pinuntahan nila si Gedalias sa Mizpa, kasama ang sampu niyang tauhan. At habang sila'y kumakain, 2 tumayo si Ismael at ang sampung tauhan nito at sinunggaban si Gedalias. Pinatay nila ang hinirang ng hari ng Babilonia sapagkat ginawa itong gobernador ng lupain. 3 Pinatay rin ni Ismael ang mga Judiong kasama ni Gedalias sa Mizpa, pati ang mga kawal na taga-Babilonia na nagkataong naroon.
4 Kinabukasan, matapos patayin si Gedalias, at bago pa nalaman ng sinuman, 5 may walumpung kalalakihang dumating buhat sa Shekem, Shilo, at Samaria. Ahit ang kanilang balbas, punit ang damit, at pawang sugatan; may dala silang trigo at insenso upang ihandog sa Templo ni Yahweh. 6 Lumabas mula sa Mizpa si Ismael; umiiyak siyang sumalubong at ang sabi, “Pumasok kayo, naririto si Gedalias na anak ni Ahicam.” 7 Pagkapasok nila sa lunsod, sila'y pinatay ni Ismael at ng mga tauhan nito, at itinapon sa isang hukay ang mga bangkay.
8 May sampung lalaking hindi napatay, at sila'y nakiusap kay Ismael, “Huwag mo kaming patayin. Marami kaming nakaimbak na trigo, sebada, langis, at pulot-pukyutan. Nakatago ang mga ito sa kabukiran.” Kaya, naawa siya at hindi sila pinatay. 9 Ang malaking hukay na ipinagawa ni Haring Asa ng Juda nang pagbantaan siyang salakayin ni Haring Baasa ng Israel ay napuno ng mga bangkay na itinapon doon ni Ismael. 10 Pagkatapos, binihag ni Ismael ang lahat ng nasa Mizpa—ang mga anak na babae ng hari at ang mga mamamayang iniwan ni Nebuzaradan sa pamamahala ni Gedalias. At sila'y umalis patungo sa lupain ng Ammon.
11 Nabalitaan ni Johanan, at ng mga kasama niyang pinuno at mga kawal ang kasamaang ginawa ni Ismael. 12 Isinama nila ang lahat ng kanilang tauhan at hinabol si Ismael; inabutan nila ito sa may malaking deposito ng tubig sa Gibeon. 13 Gayon na lamang ang tuwa ng mga bihag ni Ismael nang makita si Johanan at ang kanyang mga tauhan. 14 At silang lahat ay nagtakbuhan papunta kay Johanan. 15 Subalit si Ismael, kasama ang walo niyang tauhan, ay nagtuloy sa lupain ng mga Ammonita.
16 Tinipon ni Johanan at ng mga pinunong kasama niya ang mga bihag na dala ni Ismael mula sa Mizpa, matapos patayin si Gedalias. Kabilang dito'y mga kawal, babae, bata, at eunuko; silang lahat ay ibinalik ni Johanan buhat sa Gibeon. 17 Nagpunta sila at tumigil sa Gerut-quimam, malapit sa Bethlehem, subalit may balak na magtuloy sa Egipto. 18 Natatakot silang paghigantihan ng mga taga-Babilonia dahil sa ginawa ni Ismael kay Gedalias, na inilagay ng hari ng Babilonia bilang gobernador ng Juda.
Jeremiah 41
King James Version
41 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.
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.
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.
4 And it came to pass the second day after he had slain Gedaliah, and no man knew it,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 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 the Ammonites.
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,
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.
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.
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.
15 But Ishmael the son of Nethaniah escaped from Johanan with eight men, and went to the Ammonites.
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:
17 And they departed, and dwelt in the habitation of Chimham, which is by Bethlehem, to go to enter into 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.
