Jeremia 41 | New International Version

1 In the seventh month Ishmael 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 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, killing the one whom the king of Babylon had appointed as governor over the land. 3 Ishmael also killed all the men of Judah who were with Gedaliah at Mizpah, as well as the Babylonian* 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, torn their clothes and cut themselves came from Shechem, Shiloh and Samaria, bringing grain offerings and incense with them to the house of the Lord. 6 Ishmael son of Nethaniah went out from Mizpah to meet them, weeping as he went. When he met them, he said, ‘Come to Gedaliah son of Ahikam.’ 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. 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.’ 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 had made as part of his defence against Baasha king of Israel. Ishmael son of Nethaniah filled it with the dead. 10 Ishmael made captives of all the rest of the people who were in Mizpah – the king’s daughters 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. 11 When Johanan 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 Ishmael son of Nethaniah. They caught up with him near the great pool in Gibeon. 13 When all the people 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 turned and went over to Johanan son of Kareah. 15 But Ishmael son of Nethaniah and eight of his men escaped from Johanan and fled to the Ammonites.

16 Then Johanan son of Kareah and all the army officers who were with him led away all the people of Mizpah who had survived, 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 near Bethlehem on their way to Egypt 18 to escape the Babylonians.* They were afraid of them because Ishmael son of Nethaniah had killed Gedaliah son of Ahikam, whom the king of Babylon had appointed as governor over the land.

1 اما در ماه هفتم، اسماعيل (پسر نتنيا، نوهٔ اليشاماع) كه از خاندان سلطنتی و يكی از مقامات بلند پايه پادشاه بود، به همراه ده نفر به مصفه نزد جدليا آمد. هنگامی كه با هم غذا میخوردند، 2 ناگهان اسماعيل و همراهانش، شمشيرهايشان را كشيدند و بر جدليا حملهور شده، او را كشتند. 3 سپس بيرون رفتند و تمام سربازان يهودی و بابلی را كه در مصفه با جدليا بودند، قتل عام كردند. 4 روز بعد، پيش از آنكه خبر اين ماجرا پخش شود، 5 هشتاد نفر از شهرهای شكيم، شيلوه و سامره از نزديكی مصفه عبور میكردند و به رسم عزاداری، با ريش تراشيده، لباسهای دريده و صورت خراشيده، با هديه و بخور به خانهٔ خداوند میرفتند. 6 اسماعيل در حالی که زارزار میگريست، برای استقبال آنها از شهر بيرون رفت. وقتی به ايشان رسيد، گفت: «بياييد و ببينيد چه بر سر جدليا آمده است!» 7 وقتی همه وارد شهر شدند، اسماعيل و همدستانش آنها را نيز كشتند و جنازههايشان را در گودال انداختند. 8 ولی در آن گروه، ده نفر بودند كه به اسماعيل قول دادند كه اگر آنها را نكشد، بروند و هر چه گندم، جو، روغن و عسل پنهان كردهاند، برايش بياورند. پس آن ده نفر را نكشتند. 9 گودالی كه اسماعيل جنازهٔ مقتولين را در آن انداخت همان گودالی است كه آسای پادشاه، به هنگام بنای برج و باروی مصفه در زمان جنگ با بعشا، پادشاه اسرائيل، حفر نموده بود. 10 در ضمن اسماعيل، دختران پادشاه و بازماندگان قوم را كه در مصفه بودند و نبوزرادان فرماندهٔ گارد پادشاه بابل، ايشان را به دست جدليا سپرده بود، اسير كرد و همه را با خود برداشت و به سوی سرزمين عمونیها به راه افتاد. 11 ولی يوحانان (پسر قاريح) و ساير سرداران لشكر وقتی از جنايت اسماعيل آگاهی يافتند، 12 با تمام نفرات خود به تعقيب او پرداختند تا او را بكشند. آنها در نزديكی بركهٔ بزرگ واقع در جبعون به او رسيدند. 13 اشخاصی كه در اسارت اسماعيل بودند، وقتی يوحانان و همراهان او را ديدند، از خوشحالی فرياد برآوردند و به سوی آنها دويدند. 15 در اين گيرودار اسماعيل با هشت نفر از همدستانش موفق شد به سرزمين عمونیها بگريزد. 16 يوحانان و افرادش بلافاصله همهٔ سربازان، زنان، بچهها و خواجهسرايانی را كه نجات داده بودند، برداشتند و از آن محل به دهكدهٔ جيروت كمهام در نزديكی بيتلحم رفتند، تا از آنجا از ترس بابلیها به مصر بگريزند، زيرا جدليا، فرماندار پادشاه بابل، به دست اسماعيل كشته شده بود.
