- 巴比倫王就把他們擊殺在哈馬地的利比拉。這樣、猶大人被擄去離開本地。
- 至於猶大國剩下的民、就是巴比倫王尼布甲尼撒所剩下的、巴比倫王立了沙番的孫子、亞希甘的兒子基大利、作他們的省長。
- 眾軍長和屬他們的人、聽見巴比倫王立了基大利作省長。於是軍長尼探雅的兒子以實瑪利、加利亞的兒子約哈難、尼陀法人單戶蔑的兒子西萊雅、瑪迦人的兒子雅撒尼亞、和屬他們的人、都到米斯巴、見基大利。
- 基大利向他們和屬他們的人起誓、說、你們不必懼怕迦勒底臣僕、只管住在這地、服事巴比倫王、就可以得福。
- 七月間宗室以利沙瑪的孫子尼探雅的兒子以實瑪利帶著十個人來殺了基大利和同他在米斯巴的猶大人、與迦勒底人。

- There at Riblah, in the land of Hamath, the king had them executed. So Judah went into captivity, away from her land.
- Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon appointed Gedaliah son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, to be over the people he had left behind in Judah.
- When all the army officers and their men heard that the king of Babylon had appointed Gedaliah as governor, they came to Gedaliah at Mizpah--Ishmael son of Nethaniah, Johanan son of Kareah, Seraiah son of Tanhumeth the Netophathite, Jaazaniah the son of the Maacathite, and their men.
- Gedaliah took an oath to reassure them and their men. "Do not be afraid of the Babylonian officials," he said. "Settle down in the land and serve the king of Babylon, and it will go well with you."
- In the seventh month, however, Ishmael son of Nethaniah, the son of Elishama, who was of royal blood, came with ten men and assassinated Gedaliah and also the men of Judah and the Babylonians who were with him at Mizpah.
