Jeremiah 41
1 In the seventh month, Ishmael son of Nethaniah, the son of Elishama, who was a member of the royal family and one of the king’s chief officers, came with ten men to Gedaliah son of Ahikam at Mizpah, and they ate a meal together there.
Agora, no sétimo mês, Ismael, filho de Nethaniah, filho de Elishama, da descendência real e um dos chefes do rei, e dez homens com ele, vieram a Gedaliah, filho de Ahikam, a Mizpah; e lá comeram pão juntos em Mizpah.
2 Then Ishmael son of Nethaniah and the ten men who were with him got up and struck down Gedaliah son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, with the sword, killing the one whom the king of Babylon had appointed to govern the land.
Então Ishmael, filho de Netanias, levantou-se e os dez homens que estavam com ele, e atingiu Gedaliah, filho de Ahikam, filho de Shaphan, com a espada, e o matou, a quem o rei da Babilônia havia nomeado governador sobre a terra.
3 Ishmael also killed all the Jews who were with Gedaliah at Mizpah, as well as the Chaldean soldiers who were there.
Ismael também matou todos os judeus que estavam com Gedaliah em Mizpah, e os homens caldeus de guerra que foram encontrados lá.
4 On the second day after the murder of Gedaliah, when no one yet knew about it,
No segundo dia depois de ter matado Gedaliah, e nenhum homem sabia disso,
5 eighty men who had shaved off their beards, torn their garments, and cut themselves came from Shechem, Shiloh, and Samaria, carrying grain offerings and frankincense for the house of the LORD.
vieram homens de Shechem, de Shiloh, e de Samaria, mesmo oitenta homens, tendo a barba raspada e as roupas rasgadas, e tendo-se cortado, com ofertas de refeições e incenso na mão, para levá-los à casa de Yahweh.
6 And Ishmael son of Nethaniah went out from Mizpah to meet them, weeping as he went. When Ishmael encountered the men, he said, “Come to Gedaliah son of Ahikam.”
Ishmael, filho de Nethaniah, saiu de Mizpah para encontrá-los, chorando o tempo todo enquanto ia, e ao conhecê-los, disse-lhes: “Venham a Gedaliah, o filho de Ahikam”.
7 And when they came into the city, Ishmael son of Nethaniah and the men with him slaughtered them and threw them into a cistern.
Foi assim, quando entraram no meio da cidade, que Ismael, o filho de Nethaniah, os matou e os lançou no meio do poço, ele e os homens que estavam com ele.
8 But ten of the men among them said to Ishmael, “Do not kill us, for we have hidden treasure in the field—wheat, barley, oil, and honey!” So he refrained from killing them with the others.
Mas dez homens foram encontrados entre aqueles que disseram a Ismael: “Não nos matem, pois temos lojas escondidas no campo, de trigo, de cevada, de óleo e de mel”. Então ele parou, e não os matou entre seus irmãos.
9 Now the cistern into which Ishmael had thrown all the bodies of the men he had struck down along with Gedaliah was a large one that King Asa had made for fear of Baasha king of Israel. Ishmael son of Nethaniah filled it with the slain.
Agora, o poço no qual Ismael lançou todos os cadáveres dos homens que ele havia matado, ao lado de Gedalias (isto era o que Asa, o rei, havia feito por medo de Baasa, rei de Israel), Ismael, filho de Netanias, encheu-o com aqueles que foram mortos.
10 Then Ishmael took captive all the remnant of the people of Mizpah—the daughters of the king along with all the others who remained in Mizpah—over whom Nebuzaradan captain of the guard had appointed Gedaliah son of Ahikam. Ishmael son of Nethaniah took them captive and set off to cross over to the Ammonites.
Então Ismael levou cativas todas as pessoas que ficaram em Mizpah, até mesmo as filhas do rei, e todas as pessoas que ficaram em Mizpah, que Nebuzaradan, o capitão da guarda, havia comprometido com Gedaliah, o filho de Ahikam. Ismael, filho de Nethaniah, levou-os cativos e partiu para ir ter com as crianças de Ammon.
11 When Johanan son of Kareah and all the commanders of the armies with him heard of all the crimes that Ishmael son of Nethaniah had committed,
Mas quando Johanan o filho de Kareah, e todos os capitães das forças que estavam com ele, ouviram falar de todo o mal que Ismael o filho de Nethaniah tinha feito,
12 they took all their men and went to fight Ishmael son of Nethaniah. And they found him near the great pool in Gibeon.
então levaram todos os homens, e foram lutar com Ismael o filho de Nethaniah, e o encontraram junto às grandes águas que estão em Gibeon.
13 When all the people with Ishmael saw Johanan son of Kareah and all the commanders of the army with him, they rejoiced,
Agora, quando todas as pessoas que estavam com Ismael viram Johanan, o filho de Kareah, e todos os capitães das forças que estavam com ele, então ficaram contentes.
14 and all the people whom Ishmael had taken captive at Mizpah turned and went over to Johanan son of Kareah.
Então todas as pessoas que Ismael tinha levado cativas de Mizpah se voltaram e voltaram, e foram para Johanan o filho de Kareah.
15 But Ishmael son of Nethaniah and eight of his men escaped from Johanan and went to the Ammonites.
Mas Ismael o filho de Nethaniah escapou de Johanan com oito homens, e foi para as crianças de Ammon.
16 Then Johanan son of Kareah and all the commanders of the armies with him took the whole remnant of the people from Mizpah whom he had recovered from Ishmael son of Nethaniah after Ishmael had killed Gedaliah son of Ahikam: the soldiers, women, children, and court officials he had brought back from Gibeon.
Então Johanan o filho de Kareah e todos os capitães das forças que estavam com ele levaram todo o resto do povo que ele havia recuperado de Ismael o filho de Nethaniah, de Mizpah, depois de ter matado Gedaliah o filho de Ahikam - os homens de guerra, com as mulheres, as crianças e os eunucos, que ele havia trazido de Gibeon.
17 And they went and stayed in Geruth Chimham, near Bethlehem, in order to proceed into Egypt
Eles partiram e viveram em Geruth Chimham, que é de Belém, para entrar no Egito
18 to escape the Chaldeans. For they were afraid of the Chaldeans because Ishmael son of Nethaniah had struck down Gedaliah son of Ahikam, whom the king of Babylon had appointed over the land.
por causa dos caldeus; pois tinham medo deles, pois Ismael, filho de Netanias, havia matado Gedaliah, filho de Ahikam, a quem o rei da Babilônia nomeou governador sobre a terra.
