< Jeremiah 41 >

1 Now it came to pass in the seventh month, that Ishmael the son of Nethanyah the son of Elishama', of the royal seed, and the chiefs of the king, even ten men with him, came unto Gedalyahu the son of Achikam to Mizpah; and they ate there bread together in Mizpah.
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 arose Ishmael the son of Nethanyah, and the ten men that were with him, and smote Gedalyahu the son of Achikam the son of Shaphan with the sword, and put to death him, whom the king of Babylon had appointed governor over 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 And all the Jews that were with him, even with Gedalyahu, at Mizpah, and the Chaldeans that were found there, even the men of war, did Ishmael slay.
Ismael também matou todos os judeus que estavam com Gedaliah em Mizpah, e os homens caldeus de guerra que foram encontrados lá.
4 And it came to pass on the second day after he had put Gedalyahu to death, while no man knew of it,
No segundo dia depois de ter matado Gedaliah, e nenhum homem sabia disso,
5 That there came certain men from Shechem, from Shiloh, and from Samaria, eighty men [in all], having their beards shaven, and their clothes rent, and having cut themselves, with meat-offerings and frankincense in their hand, to bring the same to 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 the son of Nethanyah went forth from Mizpah to meet them, going along and weeping: and it came to pass as he met them, that he said unto them, Come to Gedalyahu the son of Achikam.
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 it happened, as they entered into the midst of the city, that Ishmael the son of Nethanyah slaughtered them, [and cast them] into the midst of the cistern, he, and the men that were with him.
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 men were found among them that said unto Ishmael, Slay us not; for we have some things hidden in the field, [such as] wheat, and barley, and oil, and honey. So he forbore, and slew them not in the midst of their brethren.
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 And the cistern wherein Ishmael cast all the corpses of the men, whom he had slain in company with Gedalyahu, is the same which king Assa had made on account of Ba'sha the king of Israel: this did Ishmael the son of Nethanyah fill with slain persons.
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 did Ishmael carry away captive all the residue of the people that were in Mizpah, the king's daughters, and all the people that were remaining in Mizpah, whom Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard had entrusted to Gedalyahu the son of Achikam: and Ishmael the son of Nethanyah carried them away captive, and went off to pass over to the children of Ammon.
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 But when Jochanan the son of Kareach, and all the captains of the armies that were with him, heard of all the evil that Ishmael the son of Nethanyah had done:
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 Then did they take all the men, and went to fight with Ishmael the son of Nethanyah, and found him by the great water[-pool] that is near Gib'on.
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 And it came to pass, when all the people who were with Ishmael saw Jochanan the son of Kareach, and all the captains of the armies that were with him, that they were 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 that Ishmael had carried away captive from Mizpah turned about and returned, and went unto Jochanan the son of Kareach.
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 the son of Nethanyah escaped with eight men from the presence of Jochanan, and he went to the children of 'Ammon.
Mas Ismael o filho de Nethaniah escapou de Johanan com oito homens, e foi para as crianças de Ammon.
16 Then took Jochanan the son of Kareach, and all the captains of the armies that were with him, all the remnant of the people whom he had recovered from Ishmael the son of Nethanyah, from Mizpah, after he had slain Gedalyah the son of Achikam, the adult males, the men of war, and the women, and the children, and the eunuchs, whom he had brought back from Gib'on;
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 remained in Geruth-Kimham, which is by Beth-lechem, to go to enter into Egypt,
Eles partiram e viveram em Geruth Chimham, que é de Belém, para entrar no Egito
18 Because of the Chaldeans; for they were afraid of them; because Ishmael the son of Nethanyah had slain Gedalyahu the son of Achikam, whom the king of Babylon had appointed governor 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.
