¹Aga seitsmendas kuus tulid Ismael, Elisama poja Netanja poeg, kuninglikust soost ja üks kuninga pealikuid, ja kümme meest koos temaga Gedalja, Ahikami poja juurde Mispasse. Kui nad seal Mispas üheskoos leiba võtsid,

¹Now it happened in the seventh month, that Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, the son of Elishama, of the seed royal and one of the chief officers of the king, and ten men with him, came to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam to Mizpah; and there they ate bread together in Mizpah.

²siis tõusid Ismael, Netanja poeg, ja need kümme meest, kes olid koos temaga, ja lõid Gedaljat, Saafani poja Ahikami poega mõõgaga ning surmasid tema, kelle Paabeli kuningas oli pannud maavalitsejaks.

²Then arose Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, and the ten men who were with him, and struck Gedaliah the son of Ahikam the son of Shaphan with the sword, and killed him, whom the king of Babylon had made governor over the land.

³Ka kõik juudid, kes olid Gedalja juures Mispas, ja kaldealased, sõjamehed, kes juhtusid seal olema, lõi Ismael maha.

³Ishmael also killed all the Jews who were with him, with Gedaliah, at Mizpah, and the Chaldeans who were found there, the men of war.

⁴Ja teisel päeval, kui Gedalja oli tapetud, aga keegi seda veel ei teadnud,

⁴It happened the second day after he had killed Gedaliah, and no man knew it,

⁵tuli Sekemist, Siilost ja Samaariast kaheksakümmend meest, habemed aetud, riided lõhki käristatud ja märgid ihusse lõigatud, käes roaohvrid ja viiruk Issanda kotta viimiseks.

⁵that there came men from Shechem, from Shiloh, and from Samaria, even eighty men, having their beards shaved and their clothes torn, and having cut themselves, with meal offerings and frankincense in their hand, to bring them to the house of Yahweh.

⁶Ja Ismael, Netanja poeg, läks Mispast neile vastu lakkamatult nuttes; ja kui ta neid kohtas, ütles ta neile: 'Tulge Gedalja, Ahikami poja juurde!'

⁶Ishmael the son of Nethaniah went forth from Mizpah to meet them, weeping all along as he went: and it happened, as he met them, he said to them, Come to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam.

⁷Aga kui nad olid jõudnud linna keskele, siis Ismael, Netanja poeg, ja mehed, kes olid koos temaga, tapsid nad ära ja viskasid kaevu.

⁷It was so, when they came into the midst of the city, that Ishmael the son of Nethaniah killed them, and cast them into the midst of the pit, he, and the men who were with him.

⁸Aga nende hulgas leidus kümme meest, kes ütlesid Ismaelile: 'Ära meid surma, sest meil on peidetud varandusi väljal: nisu ja otri, õli ja mett!' Siis ta jättis need puutumata ega surmanud neid koos nende vendadega.

⁸But ten men were found among those who said to Ishmael, Don’t kill us; for we have stores hidden in the field, of wheat, and of barley, and of oil, and of honey. So he stopped, and didn’t kill them among their brothers.

⁹Ja kaev, kuhu Ismael viskas kõik nende meeste surnukehad, keda ta oli maha löönud, nende seas Gedalja kaaslased, oli seesama, mille kuningas Aasa oli teinud Iisraeli kuninga Baesa pärast; selle täitis Ismael, Netanja poeg, mahalöödutega.

⁹Now the pit in which Ishmael cast all the dead bodies of the men whom he had killed, by the side of Gedaliah (the same was who which Asa the king had made for fear of Baasha king of Israel), Ishmael the son of Nethaniah filled it with those who were killed.

¹⁰Ja Ismael võttis vangi kogu rahva jäägi, kes oli Mispas, kuningatütred ja kogu rahva, kes olid jäänud Mispasse, keda ihukaitsepealik Nebusaradan oli jätnud Gedalja, Ahikami poja hoolde; Ismael, Netanja poeg, võttis need vangi ja läks teele, et minna ammonlaste juurde.

¹⁰Then Ishmael carried away captive all the residue of the people who were in Mizpah, even the king’s daughters, and all the people who remained in Mizpah, whom Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard had committed to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam; Ishmael the son of Nethaniah carried them away captive, and departed to go over to the children of Ammon.

¹¹Aga kui Joohanan, Kaareahi poeg, ja kõik sõjaväepealikud, kes olid koos temaga, kuulsid kõigest sellest kurjast, mida Ismael, Netanja poeg, oli teinud,

¹¹But when Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces who were with him, heard of all the evil that Ishmael the son of Nethaniah had done,

¹²siis võtsid nad kõik oma mehed ja läksid sõdima Ismaeli, Netanja poja vastu; ja nad leidsid tema suure vee äärest, mis on Gibeonis.

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.

¹³Aga kui kõik rahvas, kes oli Ismaeli juures, nägi Joohanani, Kaareahi poega, ja kõiki sõjaväepealikuid, kes olid koos temaga, siis nad rõõmustasid,

¹³Now it happened that, when all the people who were with Ishmael saw Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces who were with him, then they were glad.

¹⁴ja kõik rahvas, kelle Ismael Mispast oli vangi võtnud, pöördus ja läks tagasi ning tuli Joohanani, Kaareahi poja juurde.

¹⁴So all the people who Ishmael had carried away captive from Mizpah turned about and came back, and went to Johanan the son of Kareah.

¹⁵Aga Ismael, Netanja poeg, pääses Joohanani eest kaheksa mehega ja läks ammonlaste juurde.

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

¹⁶Ja Joohanan, Kaareahi poeg, ja kõik sõjaväepealikud, kes olid koos temaga, võtsid kogu ülejäänud rahva, kelle ta oli toonud Mispast Ismaeli, Netanja poja käest, pärast seda kui see oli maha löönud Gedalja, Ahikami poja: mehed, sõjakõlvulised mehed, naised ja lapsed ja teenrid, keda ta oli Gibeonist tagasi toonud,

¹⁶Then took Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces who 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 killed Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, the men of war, and the women, and the children, and the eunuchs, whom he had brought back from Gibeon:

¹⁷ja läksid ning peatusid Kimhami majutuspaigas, mis on Petlemma lähedal, et siis minna ja jõuda Egiptusesse

¹⁷and they departed, and lived in Geruth Chimham, which is by Bethlehem, to go to enter into Egypt,

¹⁸kaldealaste eest, sest nad kartsid neid, kuna Ismael, Netanja poeg, oli maha löönud Gedalja, Ahikami poja, kelle Paabeli kuningas oli pannud maavalitsejaks.

¹⁸because of the Chaldeans; for they were afraid of them, because Ishmael the son of Nethaniah had killed Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, whom the king of Babylon made governor over the land.
