¹Huan, hichi ahia, kha sagihna ah Elisha tapa Nethania tapa Ishmael, kumpi chi a mi, kumpipa upate laka khat, mi sawm piin Mizpah khua ah Ahikam tapa Gedalia kiangah a hong ua; huan, Mizpah khua ah an a ne khawm uh.

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.

²Huan, Nethania tapa Ishmael bel a mipi sawmte toh a ding ua, Shaphan tapa Ahikam tapa, Babulon kumpipan gam ukpipa dia a bawl Gedalia namsauin a that uhi.

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.

³Huan, a kianga Juda mi om tengteng, Mizpah khuaa Gedalia kianga omte leh Kaldai galkap mi om teite Ishmael a that lai hi.

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.

⁴Huan, Gedalia a thah nung ni nih in hichi a honghia, kuamahin a theih ma un,

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

⁵Shekem akipan, Shilo akipan, Samaria akipanin mi sawmgiat, a khamul uh meta, a puansilhte uh keka, amau ki-atin, tanghou latte leh gimlimte tawiin TOUPA in ah lan dingin a hong uhi.

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.

⁶Huan, Nethania tapa Ishmael bel Mizpah khua akipanin amau dawn dingin a pawtkhiaa, lam tawnin a kap kapa: huan, hichi ahia, amaute a muhin a kiang uah, Ahikam tapa Gedalia kiangah hongpai un, achia.

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.

⁷Huan, hichi a honghi a, khopi sing a tun uleh Nethania tapa Ishmael leh a mipiten amau a nathat ua, kokhuk ah a pai uh.

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.

⁸A lak ua misawmten bel, Honthat kei un, gamah buhte, buhmante, thaute, khuaite tampi ka sel ngalua, a cha ua. Huchiin amau a hawi ua, a unaute uh lakah a that telta kei hi.

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.

⁹Huan, kokhuk, Ishmaelin Gedelia toha a mi thahte luang a paihna bel kumpipa Asain Israel kumpipa Baash a kihtak jiakin a bawl ahi. Nethania tapa Ishmaelin huai luangtein a dimsak hi.

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.

¹⁰Huan, Ishmaelin Mizpah khuaa mi hinga omsun, kumpipa tanute, Ahikam tapa Gedalia kianga ngakmi heutu Nebuzaradanin a kepsak, Mizpah khuaa omlai tengteng toh salin a pi veka; Nethania tapa Ishmaelin huaite sal dia piin Amon mite juanin a pawt hi.

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.

¹¹Ahihhangin, Kare tapa Johanan leh a kianga om sepaih pawl heutu tengtengin Nethania tapa Ishmael thil hoihlou hih tengteng ana jak un mi tengteng a pi khia ua,

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,

¹²Nethania tapa Ishmael sual dingin a kuan ua, tui tampi omna mun Gibeon ah ava mu uh.

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.

¹³Huan, hichi ahia, Ishmael kiangah mi tengtengin Kare tapa Johanan leh a kianga sepaih heutu tengteng a va muh un a nakipak law mahmah uhi.

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.

¹⁴Huchiin Ishmaelin Mizpah khua kipana sala a pi tengteng a kihei ua, a kiknawn ua, Kare tapa Johanan kiangah a pai diam uhi.

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.

¹⁵Nethania tapa Ishmael bel mi giat toh Johanan akipan a tai khe geigei ua, Amon mite kiangah a pai ta uhi.

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

¹⁶Huan, Kare tapa Johanan leh a kianga sepaih pawl heutu tengtengin, Nethania tapa Ishmael in Ahikam tapa Gedalia a thah nunga Mizpah khua akipan Nethania tapa Ishmael laka Johananin a hutkhiaksa mi omsun tengteng, kidou mite, numeite, naupangte, michilgehte, Gibeon akipana a pi nawnte a pi veka.

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:

¹⁷Huan, a pawt ua, Kaldaite jiaka Aigupta gama tailut tumin Bethlehem kho chin ah Geruth Chimham ah a khawl uhi.Nethania tapa Ishmaelin, Ahikam tapa Gedalia, Babulon kumpipan huai gam ukpipa dia a bawl a thah jiakin amau lah a kihta mahmah ngal ua.

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

¹⁸Nethania tapa Ishmaelin, Ahikam tapa Gedalia, Babulon kumpipan huai gam ukpipa dia a bawl a thah jiakin amau lah a kihta mahmah ngal ua.

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.
