Jeremiah 41

E il settimo mese, Ismael, figliuolo di Nethania, figliuolo di Elishama della stirpe reale e uno dei grandi del re, venne con dieci uomini, da Ghedalia, figliuolo di Ahikam, a Mitspa; e quivi, a Mitspa, mangiarono assieme.

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.

Poi Ismael, figliuolo di Nethania, si levò coi dieci uomini ch’eran con lui, e colpirono con la spada Ghedalia, figliuolo di Ahikam, figliuolo di Shafam. Così fecero morire colui che il re di Babilonia aveva stabilito sul paese.

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.

Ismael uccise pure tutti i Giudei ch’erano con Ghedalia a Mitspa, e i Caldei, uomini di guerra, che si trovavan quivi.

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.

Il giorno dopo ch’egli ebbe ucciso Ghedalia, prima che alcuno ne sapesse nulla,

And it came to pass the second day after he had slain Gedaliah, and no man knew it,

giunsero da Sichem, da Sciloh e da Samaria, ottanta uomini che avevano la barba rasa, le vesti stracciate e delle incisioni sul corpo; e avevano in mano delle offerte e dell’incenso per presentarli nella casa dell’Eterno.

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.

E Ismael, figliuolo di Nethania, uscì loro incontro da Mitspa; e, camminando, piangeva; e come li ebbe incontrati, disse loro: "Venite da Ghedalia, figliuolo di Ahikam".

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.

E quando furono entrati in mezzo alla città, Ismael, figliuolo di Nethania, assieme agli uomini che aveva seco, li scannò e li gettò nella cisterna.

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.

Or fra quelli, ci furon dieci uomini, che dissero a Ismael: "Non ci uccidere, perché abbiamo nei campi delle provviste nascoste di grano, d’orzo, d’olio e di miele". Allora egli si trattenne, e non li mise a morte coi loro fratelli.

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.

Or la cisterna nella quale Ismael gettò tutti i cadaveri degli uomini ch’egli uccise con Ghedalia, è quella che il re Asa aveva fatta fare per tema di Baasa, re d’Israele; e Ismael, figliuolo di Nethania, la riempì di uccisi.

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.

Poi Ismael menò via prigionieri tutto il rimanente del popolo che si trovava a Mitspa: le figliuole del re, e tutto il popolo ch’era rimasto a Mitspa, e sul quale Nebuzaradan, capo delle guardie, aveva stabilito Ghedalia, figliuolo di Ahikam; Ismael, figliuolo di Nethania, li menò via prigionieri, e partì per recarsi dagli Ammoniti.

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 Nebuzar–adan 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.

Ma quando Johanan, figliuolo di Kareah, e tutti i capi delle forze ch’eran con lui furono informati di tutto il male che Ismael, figliuolo di Nethania, aveva fatto,

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,

presero tutti gli uomini, e andarono a combattere contro Ismael, figliuolo di Nethania; e lo trovarono presso le grandi acque che sono a Gabaon.

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.

E quando tutto il popolo ch’era con Ismael vide Johanan, figliuolo di Kareah, e tutti i capi delle forze ch’erano con lui, si rallegrò;

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.

e tutto il popolo che Ismael aveva menato prigioniero da Mitspa fece voltafaccia, e andò a unirsi a Johanan, figliuolo di Kareah.

So all the people that Ishmael had carried away captive from Mizpah cast about and returned, and went unto Johanan the son of Kareah.

Ma Ismael, figliuolo di Nethania, scampò con otto uomini d’innanzi a Johanan, e se ne andò fra gli Ammoniti.

But Ishmael the son of Nethaniah escaped from Johanan with eight men, and went to the Ammonites.

E Johanan, figliuolo di Kareah, e tutti i capi delle forze ch’erano con lui, presero tutto il rimanente del popolo, che Ismael, figliuolo di Nethania, aveva menati via da Mitspa, dopo ch’egli ebbe ucciso Ghedalia, figliuolo d’Ahikam: uomini, gente di guerra, donne, fanciulli, eunuchi; e li ricondussero da Gabaon;

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:

e partirono, e si fermarono a Geruth-Kimham presso Bethlehem, per poi continuare e recarsi in Egitto,

And they departed, and dwelt in the habitation of Chimham, which is by Beth–lehem, to go to enter into Egypt,

a motivo de’ Caldei dei quali avevano paura, perché Ismael, figliuolo di Nethania, aveva ucciso Ghedalia figliuolo di Ahikam, che il re di Babilonia aveva stabilito sul paese.

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.
