¹And it cometh to pass, in the seventh month, come hath Ishmael son of Nethaniah, son of Elishama, of the seed royal, and of the chiefs of the king, and ten men with him, unto Gedaliah son of Ahikam, to Mizpah, and they eat there bread together in Mizpah.

¹Ary tamin'ny volana fahafito dia tonga tany amin'i Gedalia, zanak'i Ahikama, tao Mizpa Isimaela, zanak'i Netania, zanak'i Elisama, taranaky ny mpanjaka, sy ny mpanapaky ny mpanjaka; ary nisy folo lahy niaraka taminy; ary niara-nihinan-kanina tao Mizpa izy.

²And Ishmael son of Nethaniah riseth, and the ten men who have been with him, and they smite Gedaliah son of Ahikam, son of Shaphan, with the sword, and he putteth him to death whom the king of Babylon hath appointed over the land.

²Dia nitsangana Isimaela, zanak'i Netania, sy ireo olona folo lahy niaraka taminy ka namely sabatra an'i Gedalia, zanak'i Ahikama, zanak'i Safana, dia nahafaty ilay efa nataon'ny mpanjakan'i Babylona ho mpanapaka ny tany.

³And all the Jews who have been with him, with Gedaliah, in Mizpah, and the Chaldeans who have been found there — the men of war — hath Ishmael smitten.

³Ary ny Jiosy rehetra izay tao aminy, dia izay tao amin'i Gedalia tao Mizpa, sy ny Kaldeana izay hita tao ary ny miaramila dia novonoin'Isimaela avokoa.

⁴And it cometh to pass, on the second day of the putting of Gedaliah to death, (and no one hath known,)

⁴Ary nony ampitson'ny andro namonoana an'i Gedalia, raha tsy mbola nisy olona nahalala izany,

⁵that men come in from Shechem, from Shiloh, and from Samaria — eighty men — with shaven beards, and rent garments, and cutting themselves, and an offering and frankincense in their hand, to bring in to the house of Jehovah.

⁵dia nisy valo-polo lahy avy tany Sekema sy Silo ary Samaria, izay samy mihara-bolom-bava, sady voatriatra ny fitafiany, ary voatetika ny tenany, nitondra fanatitra sy ditin-kazo mani-pofona teny an-tànany ho entina ao an-tranon'i Jehovah.

⁶And Ishmael son of Nethaniah goeth forth to meet them, from Mizpah, going on and weeping, and it cometh to pass, at meeting them, that he saith unto them, `Come in unto Gedaliah son of Ahikam.`

⁶Ary Isimaela, zanak'i Netania, dia nivoaka avy tao Mizpa hitsena azy sady nitomany teny ampandehanana, ary nony efa nihaona taminy izy, dia niteny taminy hoe: Mankanesa any amin'i Gedalia, zanak'i Ahikama.

⁷And it cometh to pass, at their coming in unto the midst of the city, that Ishmael son of Nethaniah doth slaughter them, at the midst of the pit, he and the men who [are] with him.

⁷Ary nony tonga tao afovoan'ny tanàna izy ireo, dia novonoin'Isimaela, zanak'i Netania, mbamin'ny olona nanaraka azy izy ka nariany tao anaty lavaka famorian-drano.

⁸And ten men have been found among them, and they say unto Ishmael, `Do not put us to death, for we have things hidden in the field — wheat, and barley, and oil, and honey.` And he forbeareth, and hath not put them to death in the midst of their brethren.

⁸Fa nisy folo lahy tamin'ireo nanao tamin'Isimaela hoe: Aza vonoina izahay; fa manan-tahiry any an-tsaha izahay, dia vary tritika sy vary hordea sy diloilo ary tantely. Ka dia nijanona izy, fa tsy namono ireo tahaka ny efa nataony tamin'ny namany.

⁹And the pit whither Ishmael hath cast all the carcases of the men whom he hath smitten along with Gedaliah, is that which the king Asa made because of Baasha king of Israel — it hath Ishmael son of Nethaniah filled with the pierced.

⁹Ary ilay lavaka nanarian'Isimaela ny fatin'ny olona rehetra, izay novonoiny ho eo anilan'i Gedalia, dia ilay efa nataon'i Asa mpanjaka mba hiereny an'i Basa, mpanjakan'ny Isiraely, dia nofenoin'Isimaela, zanak'i Netania, faty.

¹⁰And Ishmael taketh captive all the remnant of the people who [are] in Mizpah, the daughters of the king, and all the people who are left in Mizpah, whom Nebuzar-Adan, chief of the executioners, hath committed [to] Gedaliah son of Ahikam, and Ishmael son of Nethaniah taketh them captive, and goeth to pass over unto the sons of Ammon.

¹⁰Ary nentin'Isimaela ho babo ny olona rehetra izay sisa tao Mizpa, na ny vehivavy zanak'andriana, na ny olona rehetra izay sisa tao Mizpa, izay napetrak'i Nebozaradana, lehiben'ny mpiambina, tao amin'i Gedalia, zanak'i Ahikama; eny, Isimaela, zanak'i Netania, nitondra azy ireny ho babo, ka dia lasa niala nankany amin'ny taranak'i Amona izy.

¹¹And hear doth Johanan son of Kareah, and all the heads of the forces that [are] with him, of all the evil that Ishmael son of Nethaniah hath done,

¹¹Fa nony ren'i Johanana, zanak'i Karea, sy ny mpifehy ny miaramila rehetra izay tao aminy ny ratsy rehetra nataon'Isimaela, zanak'i Netania,

¹²and they take all the men, and go to fight with Ishmael son of Nethaniah, and they find him at the great waters that [are] in Gibeon.

¹²dia novoriny ny olona rehetra ka nentiny niady tamin'Isimaela, zanak'i Netania ary hitany teo amoron'ny kamory ao Gibeona izy.[Heb. ny rano be]

¹³And it cometh to pass, when all the people who [are] with Ishmael see Johanan son of Kareah, and all the heads of the forces who [are] with him, that they rejoice.

¹³Ary ny olona rehetra izay tao amin'Isimaela, nony nahita an'i Johanana, zanak'i Karea, sy ny mpifehy ny miaramila rehetra izay tao aminy, dia faly.

¹⁴And all the people whom Ishmael hath taken captive from Mizpah turn round, yea, they turn back, and go unto Johanan son of Kareah.

¹⁴Ary ny olona rehetra izay nentin'Isimaela ho babo avy tany Mizpa dia nitodika ka niverina nanatona an'i Johanana, zanak'i Karea.

¹⁵And Ishmael son of Nethaniah hath escaped, with eight men, from the presence of Johanan, and he goeth unto the sons of Ammon.

¹⁵Fa Isimaela, zanak'i Netania, sy ny olona valo lahy kosa dia afaka nandositra an'i Johanana ka lasa nankany amin'ny taranak'i Amona.

¹⁶And Johanan son of Kareah, and all the heads of the forces who [are] with him, take all the remnant of the people whom he hath brought back from Ishmael son of Nethaniah, from Mizpah — after he had smitten Gedaliah son of Ahikam — mighty ones, men of war, and women, and infants, and eunuchs, whom he had brought back from Gibeon,

¹⁶Ary Johanana, zanak'i Karea, sy ny mpifehy ny miaramila rehetra izay tao aminy dia nitondra ny olona rehetra izay voavonjiny ho afaka tamin'Isimaela, zanak'i Netania, avy tany Mizpa, taorian'ny namonoany an'i Gedalia, zanak'i Ahikama, dia ny lehilahy mpiady sy ny zaza amim-behivavy ary ny tandapa, izay nentiny niverina avy tany Gibeona;

¹⁷and they go and abide in the habitations of Chimham, that [are] near Beth-Lehem, to go to enter Egypt,

¹⁷ary dia lasa izy ireo ka nitoetra tao Gerota-kimama, izay ao akaikin'i Betlehema, mba handehanany hankany Egypta.[Na: an-tranom-bahinin'i Kimama]tsy ho tratry ny Kaldeana; fa natahotra azy izy, satria Isimaela, zanak'i Netania, efa namono an'i Gedalia, zanak'i Ahikama, izay notendren'ny mpanjakan'i Babylona ho mpanapaka ny tany.

¹⁸from the presence of the Chaldeans, for they have been afraid of them, for Ishmael son of Nethaniah had smitten Gedaliah son of Ahikam, whom the king of Babylon had appointed over the land.

¹⁸tsy ho tratry ny Kaldeana; fa natahotra azy izy, satria Isimaela, zanak'i Netania, efa namono an'i Gedalia, zanak'i Ahikama, izay notendren'ny mpanjakan'i Babylona ho mpanapaka ny tany.
