¹Now 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.

¹Zgodi se pa sedmi mesec, da pride Izmael, sin Netanija, sina Elisamovega, iz kraljevega zaroda in iz kraljevih glavarjev, in deset mož ž njim h Gedaliju, sinu Ahikamovemu, v Micpo; in jedli so skupaj jed tam v Micpi.

²Then 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.

²Vstane pa Izmael, sin Netanijev, in deseteri možje, ki so bili ž njim, in so udarili Gedalija, sina Ahikama, sinu Safanovega, z mečem in so usmrtili njega, ki ga je bil kralj babilonski postavil nad deželo.

³Ishmael 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.

³In vse Jude, ki so bili ž njim, z Gedalijem, v Micpi, je pobil Izmael, in tudi Kaldejce, vojščake, tam pričujoče.

⁴And it came to pass the second day after he had slain Gedaliah, and no man knew it,

⁴Zgodi se pa drugi dan, odkar je usmrtil Gedalija, ko ni še nihče vedel,

⁵That 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.

⁵da pridejo možje iz Sihema, iz Sila in iz Samarije, osemdeset mož, z obrito brado in raztrgano obleko in razpraskani, z jedilnim darom in kadilom v roki, da ga prineso v hišo GOSPODOVO.

⁶And 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.

⁶In šel je Izmael, sin Netanijev, ven iz Micpe njim naproti, in gredoč je neprestano jokal, in ko jih je srečal, jim reče: Pridite h Gedaliju, sinu Ahikamovemu!

⁷And 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.

⁷Ali ko so prišli sredi mesta, jih umori Izmael, sin Netanijev, in jih vrže v jamo, on in možje, ki so bili ž njim.

⁸But 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.

⁸Desetero mož pa je bilo med njimi, ki so rekli Izmaelu: Ne usmrti nas! kajti skrite zaklade imamo na polju, pšenice in ječmena in olja in medu. Torej je odnehal in jih ni usmrtil ž njih brati vred.

⁹Now 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.

⁹Jama pa, ki je vanjo vrgel vsa trupla mož, ki jih je bil pobil, poleg Gedalija, je bila tista, ki jo je naredil Asa v strahu pred Baasom, kraljem Izraelovim; njo je napolnil s pobitimi Izmael, sin Netanijev.

¹⁰Then 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.

¹⁰In Izmael je odpeljal v ujetništvo ves ostanek ljudstva, ki je bilo v Micpi: hčere kraljeve in vse ljudstvo, kar ga je preostalo v Micpi in ki ga je izročil Nebuzaradan, glavar telesne straže, Gedaliju, sinu Ahikamovemu; nje je ujete odpeljal Izmael, sin Netanijev, ter odrinil, da bi prešel k sinom Amonovim.

¹¹But 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,

¹¹In ko je slišal Johanan, sin Kareahov, in vsi vojaški poveljniki, ki so bili ž njim, vse tisto zlo, ki ga je napravil Izmael, sin Netanijev,

¹²Then 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.

¹²skličejo vse može in odrinejo bojevat se zoper Izmaela, sina Netanijevega, ter ga zalotijo pri veliki vodi, ki je ob Gibeonu.

¹³Now 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.

¹³In ko vidi vse ljudstvo, ki je bilo z Izmaelom, Johanana, sina Kareahovega, in vse vojaške poveljnike ž njim, se razveseli.

¹⁴So all the people that Ishmael had carried away captive from Mizpah cast about and returned, and went unto Johanan the son of Kareah.

¹⁴Vse ljudstvo torej, ki ga je peljal Izmael ujeto iz Micpe, se izpremisli in se obrne in gre k Johananu, sinu Kareahovemu.

¹⁵But Ishmael the son of Nethaniah escaped from Johanan with eight men, and went to the Ammonites.

¹⁵Izmael pa, sin Netanijev, je zbežal z osmimi možmi izpred Johanana ter odšel k sinom Amonovim.

¹⁶Then 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:

¹⁶Tedaj vzame Johanan, sin Kareahov, in vsi vojaški poveljniki, ki so bili ž njim, ves ostanek ljudstva, ki ga je nazaj dobil od Izmaela, sina Netanijevega, iz Micpe, – potem ko je bil ubil Gedalija, sina Ahikamovega, – in peljali so može, vojščake, in žene in otroke in komornike nazaj iz Gibeona;

¹⁷And they departed, and dwelt in the habitation of Chimham, which is by Bethlehem, to go to enter into Egypt,

¹⁷in so šli ter se ustavili v prenočišču Kimhamovem, ki je blizu Betlehema, da bi se napotili in odšli v Egiptzavoljo Kaldejcev, ker so se jih bali, zato ker je Izmael, sin Netanijev, umoril Gedalija, sina Ahikamovega, ki ga je bil kralj babilonski postavil nad deželo.

¹⁸Because 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.

¹⁸zavoljo Kaldejcev, ker so se jih bali, zato ker je Izmael, sin Netanijev, umoril Gedalija, sina Ahikamovega, ki ga je bil kralj babilonski postavil nad deželo.
