< Jeremiah 41 >

1 Now it came about in the seventh month that Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, the son of Elishama, of the king's seed, having with him ten men, came to Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam, in Mizpah; and they had a meal together in Mizpah.
Succedeu, porém, no mez setimo, que veiu Ishmael, filho de Nethanias, filho d'Elisama, de sangue real, e os capitães do rei, a saber, dez homens com elle, a Gedalias, filho d'Ahicam, a Mizpah; e comeram ali pão juntamente em Mizpah.
2 Then Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, and the ten men who were with him, got up, and attacking Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, with the sword, put to death him whom the king of Babylon had made ruler over the land.
E levantou-se Ishmael, filho de Nethanias, com os dez homens que estavam com elle, e feriram a Gedalias, filho de Ahicam, filho de Saphan, á espada; e matou aquelle que o rei de Babylonia havia posto sobre a terra.
3 And Ishmael put to death all the Jews who were with him, even with Gedaliah, at Mizpah, and the Chaldaean men of war.
Tambem feriu Ishmael a todos os judeos que havia com elle, com Gedalias, em Mizpah, como tambem aos chaldeos, homens de guerra, que se acharam ali.
4 Now on the second day after he had put Gedaliah to death, when no one had knowledge of it,
Succedeu pois no dia seguinte, depois que matára a Gedalias, e sem ninguem o saber,
5 Some people came from Shechem, from Shiloh and Samaria, eighty men, with the hair of their faces cut off and their clothing out of order, and with cuts on their bodies, and in their hands meal offerings and perfumes which they were taking to the house of the Lord.
Que vieram homens de Sichem, de Silo, e de Samaria; oitenta homens, com a barba rapada, e os vestidos rasgados, e sarjando-se; e traziam nas suas mãos offertas de manjares e incenso, para levarem á casa do Senhor.
6 And Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, went out from Mizpah with the purpose of meeting them, weeping on his way: and it came about that when he was face to face with them he said, Come to Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam.
E, saindo-lhes ao encontro Ishmael, filho de Nethanias, desde Mizpah, ia chorando; e succedeu que, encontrando-os, lhes disse: Vinde a Gedalias, filho de Ahicam.
7 And when they came inside the town, Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, and the men who were with him, put them to death and put their bodies into a deep hole.
Succedeu, porém, que, entrando elles até ao meio da cidade, matou-os Ishmael, filho de Nethanias, e os lançou no meio de um poço, elle e os homens que estavam com elle.
8 But there were ten men among them who said to Ishmael, Do not put us to death, for we have secret stores, in the country, of grain and oil and honey. So he did not put them to death with their countrymen.
Mas acharam-se entre elles dez homens que disseram a Ishmael: Não nos mates a nós; porque temos no campo thesouros escondidos, trigo e cevada, e azeite e mel. E os deixou, e não os matou entre seus irmãos.
9 Now the hole into which Ishmael had put the dead bodies of the men whom he had put to death, was the great hole which Asa the king had made for fear of Baasha, king of Israel: and Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, made it full of the bodies of those who had been put to death.
E o poço em que Ishmael lançou todos os cadaveres dos homens que feriu por causa de Gedalias é o mesmo que fez o rei Asa, por causa de Baasa, rei de Israel: a este encheu de mortos Ishmael, filho de Nethanias.
10 Then Ishmael took away as prisoners all the rest of the people who were in Mizpah, the king's daughters and all the people still in Mizpah, whom Nebuzaradan, the captain of the armed men, had put under the care of Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam: Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, took them away prisoners with the purpose of going over to the children of Ammon.
E Ishmael levou captivo a todo o resto do povo que estava em Mizpah; as filhas do rei, e todo o povo que restou em Mizpah, que Nebuzaradan, capitão da guarda, havia encarregado a Gedalias, filho de Ahicam; e levou-os captivos Ishmael, filho de Nethanias, e foi-se para passar aos filhos de Ammon.
11 But when Johanan, the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the armed forces who were with him, had news of all the evil which Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, had done,
Ouvindo pois Johanan, filho de Careah, e todos os principes dos exercitos que havia com elle, todo o mal que havia feito Ishmael, filho de Nethanias,
12 They took their men and went out to make war on Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, and they came face to face with him by the great waters in Gibeon.
Tomaram todos os seus homens, e foram pelejar contra Ishmael, filho de Nethanias: e acharam-n'o ao pé das muitas aguas que ha em Gibeon.
13 Now when all the people who were with Ishmael saw Johanan, the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces with him, then they were glad.
E aconteceu que, vendo todo o povo, que estava com Ishmael, a Johanan filho de Careah, e a todos os principes dos exercitos, que vinham com elle, se alegrou.
14 And all the people whom Ishmael had taken away prisoners from Mizpah, turning round, came back and went to Johanan, the son of Kareah.
E todo o povo que Ishmael levara captivo de Mizpah virou as costas, e voltou, e foi para Johanan, filho de Careah.
15 But Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, got away from Johanan, with eight men, and went to the children of Ammon.
Porém Ishmael, filho de Nethanias, escapou com oito homens de diante de Johanan, e se foi para os filhos de Ammon.
16 Then Johanan, the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces who were with him, took all the rest of the people whom Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, had made prisoners, after he had put to death Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam, the people from Mizpah, that is, the men of war and the women and the children and the unsexed servants, whom he had taken back with him from Gibeon:
Então tomou Johanan, filho de Careah, e todos os principes dos exercitos que havia com elle, a todo o resto do povo que elle havia recobrado de Ishmael, filho de Nethanias, desde Mizpah, depois de haver ferido a Gedalias, filho de Ahicam, aos homens valentes de guerra, e ás mulheres, e aos meninos, e aos eunuchos que havia recobrado de Gibeon,
17 And they went and were living in the resting-place of Chimham, which is near Beth-lehem on the way into Egypt,
E foram, e moraram na habitação de Geruth-chimham, que está perto de Beth-lehem, para se irem e entrarem no Egypto,
18 Because of the Chaldaeans: for they were in fear of them because Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, had put to death Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam, whom the king of Babylon had made ruler over the land.
Por causa dos chaldeos; porque os temiam, por haver ferido Ishmael, filho de Nethanias, a Gedalias, filho de Ahicam, a quem o rei de Babylonia tinha posto sobre a terra.
