Jeremiah 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.

Men i den syvende måned kom Jisjmael, Elisjamas søn Netanjas søn, en mand af kongelig Æt, der hørte til Kongens Stormænd, fulgt af ti Mænd til Gedalja, Ahikams Søn, i Mizpa; og de holdt Måltid sammen der i Mizpa.

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.

Jisjmael, Netanjas Søn, og de ti Mænd, der fulgte ham, stod da op og huggede Gedalja, Sjafans Søn Ahikams Søn, ned med Sværdet og dræbte således den Mand, Babels Konge havde sat over Landet;

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.

også alle de Judæere, som var hos ham i Mizpa, og alle de Kaldæere, som fandtes der, alle Krigerne huggede Jisjmael ned.

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

Dagen efter Gedaljas Mord, endnu før nogen kendte dertil,

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.

kom firsindstyve Mænd fra Sikem, Silo og Samaria med afklippet Skæg, sønderrevne Klæder og Flænger i Huden; de havde Afgrødeoffer og Røgelse med til at ofre i HERRENs Hus"

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.

Jisjmael, Netanjas Søn, gik dem i Møde fra Mizpa og græd hele Vejen, og da han traf dem, sagde han: "Kom med til Gedalja, Ahikams Søn!"

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.

Men da de var kommet ind i Byen, huggede Jisjmael og hans Mænd dem ned og kastede dem i Cisternen.

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.

Men der var ti Mænd iblandt dem, som sagde til Jisjmael: "Dræb os ikke, thi vi har skjulte Forråd på Marken, Hvede, Byg, Olie og Honning." Så lod han dem være og dræbte dem ikke med de andre.

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.

Cisternen, hvori Jisjmael kastede Ligene af alle dem, han havde hugget ned, var den store Cisterne, Kong Asa havde bygget i Kampen mod Kong Basja af Israel; den fyldte Jisjmael, Netanjas Søn, med dræbte.

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.

Derpå bortførte Jisjmael som Fanger hele Resten af Folket i Mizpa, Kongedøtrene og hele Folket, der var ladt tilbage i Mizpa, og over hvem Livvagts øverste Nebuzaradan havde sat Gedalja, Ahikams Søn; dem bortførte Jisjmael, Netanjas Søn, som Fanger og gav sig på Vej til Ammoniterne.

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,

Men da Johanan, Kareas Søn, og alle de Hærførere, som var hos ham, hørte om al den Ulykke, Jisjmael, Netanjas Søn, havde gjort,

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.

tog de alle deres Mænd og drog imod ham, og de traf ham ved den store Dam i Gibeon;

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.

og da alt Folket, der var hos Jisjmael, så Johanan, Kareas Søn og alle Hærførerne, der var med ham, blev de glade;

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

og alt Folket, som Jisjmael havde ført fanget fra Mizpa, vendte om og gik over til Johanan, Kareas Søn.

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

Men Jisjmael Netanjas Søn, slap fra Johanan med otte Mand og drog til Ammoniterne.

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:

Johanan, Kareas Søn, og alle Hærførerne, der var med ham, tog derpå hele Resten af Folket, som Jisjmael, Netanjas Søn, efter at have myrdet Gedalja, Ahikams Søn, havde ført bort fra Mizpa, de Mænd, Krigere, Kvinder, Børn og Hofmænd, som han bragte tilbage fra Gibeon,

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

og de drog hen og slog sig ned i Gidrot-Kimham i BetlehemsNabolag for at drage til Ægypten.

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.

af Frygt for Kaldæerne; thi de frygtede dem, fordi Jisjmael, Netanjas Søn, havde dræbt Gedalja, Ahikams Søn, som Babels Konge havde sat over Landet.
