Jeremiah 41
1 And it happened that, in the seventh month, Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, the son of Elishama of royal descent, with the nobles of the king, and accompanied by ten men, went to Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam, at Mizpah. And they ate bread together there, in Mizpah.
Sucedeu, porém, no mês sétimo, que veio Ishmael, filho de Nethanias, filho de Elisama, de sangue real, e os capitães do rei, a saber, dez homens com ele, a Gedalias, filho de Ahicam, a Mizpah; e comeram ali pão juntamente em Mizpah.
2 Then Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, rose up, and the ten men who were with him, and they struck down Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, with the sword, and they killed him whom the king of Babylon had made governor over the land.
E levantou-se Ishmael, filho de Nethanias, com os dez homens que estavam com ele, e feriram a Gedalias, filho de Ahicam, filho de Saphan, à espada; e matou aquele que o rei de Babilônia havia posto sobre a terra.
3 Likewise, Ishmael struck down all the Jews who were with Gedaliah at Mizpah, with the Chaldeans who were found there, and the men of war.
Também feriu Ishmael a todos os judeus que havia com ele, com Gedalias, em Mizpah, como também aos caldeus, homens de guerra, que se acharam ali.
4 Then, on the second day after he had killed Gedaliah, while no one yet knew of it,
Sucedeu pois no dia seguinte, depois que matara a Gedalias, e sem ninguém o saber,
5 men arrived from Shechem, and from Shiloh, and from Samaria, eighty men, with their beards shaved, and their garments rent, and unbathed. And they had gifts and frankincense in hand, so that they might make an offering in 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 ofertas de manjares e incenso, para levarem à casa do Senhor.
6 Therefore, Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, departing from Mizpah to meet them, went forth weeping as he was walking. And when he had met them, he said to them, “Come to Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam.”
E, saindo-lhes ao encontro Ishmael, filho de Nethanias, desde Mizpah, ia chorando; e sucedeu que, encontrando-os, lhes disse: Vinde a Gedalias, filho de Ahicam.
7 And when they had arrived at the center of the city, Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, put them to death around the public cistern, he and the men who were with him.
Sucedeu, porém, que, entrando eles até ao meio da cidade, matou-os Ishmael, filho de Nethanias, e os lançou no meio de um poço, ele e os homens que estavam com ele.
8 But ten men were found among them, who said to Ishmael: “Do not kill us! For in the field we have storehouses of grain and barley and oil and honey.” And so he ceased, and he did not put them to death with their brothers.
Mas acharam-se entre eles dez homens que disseram a Ishmael: Não nos mates a nós; porque temos no campo tesouros escondidos, trigo e cevada, e azeite e mel. E os deixou, e não os matou entre seus irmãos.
9 Now the cistern, into which Ishmael cast all the dead bodies of the men whom he had struck down because of Gedaliah, is the same one that king Asa made out of fear of Baasha, the king of Israel. This same cistern Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, filled with those who were slain.
E o poço em que Ishmael lançou todos os cadáveres 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 led away captive all the remnant of the people who were at Mizpah, the king’s daughters as well as all the people who remained at Mizpah, whom Nebuzaradan, the leader of the military, had committed to Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam. And Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, seized them and went away, so that he might go over to the sons of Ammon.
E Ishmael levou cativo 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 cativos Ishmael, filho de Nethanias, e foi-se para passar aos filhos de Ammon.
11 But Johanan, the son of Kareah, and all the leaders of the fighters who were with him, heard about all the evil that Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, had done.
Ouvindo pois Johanan, filho de Careah, e todos os príncipes dos exércitos que havia com ele, todo o mal que havia feito Ishmael, filho de Nethanias,
12 And taking all the men, they set out to make war against Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah. And they found him at the great waters that are in Gibeon.
Tomaram todos os seus homens, e foram pelejar contra Ishmael, filho de Nethanias: e acharam-no ao pé das muitas águas que há em Gibeon.
13 And when all the people who were with Ishmael had seen Johanan, the son of Kareah, and all the leaders of the fighters who were with him, they rejoiced.
E aconteceu que, vendo todo o povo, que estava com Ishmael, a Johanan filho de Careah, e a todos os príncipes dos exércitos, que vinham com ele, se alegrou.
14 And all the people whom Ishmael had seized turned back to Mizpah. And they returned and went over to Johanan, the son of Kareah.
E todo o povo que Ishmael levara cativo de Mizpah virou as costas, e voltou, e foi para Johanan, filho de Careah.
15 But Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, fled with eight men from the face of Johanan, and they went over to the sons of Ammon.
Porém Ishmael, filho de Nethanias, escapou com oito homens de diante de Johanan, e se foi para os filhos de Ammon.
16 Therefore, Johanan, the son of Kareah, and all the leaders of the fighters who were with him, took from Mizpah the entire remnant of the common people, whom they had led away from Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, after he had struck down Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam. These were strong men of battle, and women, and children, and eunuchs: those whom he had led away from Gibeon.
Então tomou Johanan, filho de Careah, e todos os príncipes dos exércitos que havia com ele, a todo o resto do povo que ele havia recobrado de Ishmael, filho de Nethanias, desde Mizpah, depois de haver ferido a Gedalias, filho de Ahicam, aos homens valentes de guerra, e às mulheres, e aos meninos, e aos eunucos que havia recobrado de Gibeon,
17 And they went away and settled as sojourners at Chimham, which is near Bethlehem, so that they might continue on and enter into Egypt,
E foram, e moraram na habitação de Geruth-chimham, que está perto de Beth-lehem, para se irem e entrarem no Egito,
18 away from the face of the Chaldeans. For they were afraid of them, because Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, had struck down Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam, whom the king of Babylon had made governor in the land of Judah.
Por causa dos caldeus; porque os temiam, por haver ferido Ishmael, filho de Nethanias, a Gedalias, filho de Ahicam, a quem o rei de Babilônia tinha posto sobre a terra.
