1 En el séptimo mes, Ismael, hijo de Netanías, hijo de Elisama, de la familia real, vino con diez hombres a ver a Gedalías, hijo de Ahicam, en Mizpa. Allí comieron juntos.
1 Now in the seventh month, Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, the son of Elishama, of the royal offspring 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.
2 Ismael, hijo de Netanías, y sus diez hombres se levantaron y atacaron a espada a Gedalías, hijo de Ahicam, hijo de Safán. Mataron al hombre que el rey de Babilonia había puesto a cargo del país.
2 Then Ishmael the son of Nethaniah arose, 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.
3 Ismael también mató a todos los judíos que estaban con Gedalías en Mizpa y a los guerreros caldeos.
3 Ishmael also killed all the Jews who were with Gedaliah at Mizpah, and the Chaldean men of war who were found there.
4 El segundo día después del asesinato de Gedalías, cuando nadie se había enterado,
4 The second day after he had killed Gedaliah, and no man knew it,
5 llegaron ochenta hombres de Siquem, Silo y Samaria. Tenían la barba afeitada, la ropa desarreglada y cortes en el cuerpo. Llevaban en sus manos ofrendas de harina e incienso al templo del Señor.
5 men came 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 Yahweh’s house.
6 Ismael, hijo de Netanías, salió de Mizpa para encontrarse con ellos y fue llorando por el camino. Al encontrarlos, les dijo: «Vengan a ver a Gedalías, hijo de Ahicam».
6 Ishmael the son of Nethaniah went out from Mizpah to meet them, weeping all along as he went, and as he met them, he said to them, “Come to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam.”
7 Cuando entraron en la ciudad, Ismael, hijo de Netanías, y sus hombres los mataron y echaron sus cadáveres en un hoyo profundo.
7 It was so, when they came into the middle of the city, that Ishmael the son of Nethaniah killed them, and cast them into the middle of the pit, he, and the men who were with him.
8 Pero diez de ellos dijeron a Ismael: «No nos mates. Tenemos reservas escondidas en el campo de grano, aceite y miel». Por eso no los mató junto con sus compatriotas.
8 But 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.
9 El hoyo donde Ismael había echado los cadáveres de los hombres que mató era el gran hoyo que el rey Asa había hecho por miedo a Baasa, rey de Israel. Ismael, hijo de Netanías, lo llenó de cadáveres.
9 Now the pit in which Ishmael cast all the dead bodies of the men whom he had killed, by the side of Gedaliah (this was that 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.
10 Ismael llevó prisioneros a todos los que quedaban en Mizpa: las hijas del rey y todo el pueblo que aún estaba allí, al que Nebuzaradán, capitán de los hombres armados, había confiado a Gedalías, hijo de Ahicam. Ismael, hijo de Netanías, los llevó prisioneros para irse con los amonitas.
10 Then Ishmael carried away captive all of the people who were left 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.
11 Johanán, hijo de Carea, y todos los capitanes de las tropas que estaban con él se enteraron de toda la maldad que había cometido Ismael, hijo de Netanías.
11 But 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,
12 Tomaron a sus hombres y salieron a luchar contra Ismael, hijo de Netanías. Lo encontraron junto a las grandes aguas de Gabaón.
12 then 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.
13 Todos los que estaban con Ismael se alegraron al ver a Johanán, hijo de Carea, y a los capitanes de las tropas que lo acompañaban.
13 Now 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.
14 Todos los que Ismael había llevado prisioneros de Mizpa dieron la vuelta y fueron a donde estaba Johanán, hijo de Carea.
14 So all the people who Ishmael had carried away captive from Mizpah turned about and came back, and went to Johanan the son of Kareah.
15 Pero Ismael, hijo de Netanías, escapó de Johanán con ocho hombres y se fue con los amonitas.
15 But Ishmael the son of Nethaniah escaped from Johanan with eight men, and went to the children of Ammon.
16 Johanán, hijo de Carea, y los capitanes que estaban con él tomaron a todo el pueblo que Ismael, hijo de Netanías, había hecho prisionero después de matar a Gedalías, hijo de Ahicam. Eran los de Mizpa: los guerreros, las mujeres, los niños y los eunucos que Johanán había recuperado en Gabaón.
16 Then Johanan the son of Kareah and all the captains of the forces who were with him took all the remnant of the people whom he had recovered from Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, from Mizpah, after he had killed Gedaliah the son of Ahikam—the men of war, with the women, the children, and the eunuchs, whom he had brought back from Gibeon.
17 Fueron a vivir al lugar de descanso de Quimam, cerca de Belén, en el camino a Egipto,
17 They departed and lived in Geruth Chimham, which is by Bethlehem, to go to enter into Egypt
18 por miedo a los caldeos. Los temían porque Ismael, hijo de Netanías, había matado a Gedalías, hijo de Ahicam, a quien el rey de Babilonia había puesto a cargo del país.
18 because 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.
