< Jeremiah 41 >

1 Now it came to pass in the seventh month, [that] Ishmael the son of Nethaniah the son of Elishama, of the seed royal, and the princes of the king, even ten men with him, came to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam to Mizpah; and there they ate 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 Nethaniah, and the ten men that were with him, and smote Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan with the sword, and slew him, whom the king of Babylon had made 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 Ishmael also slew all the Jews that were with him, [even] with Gedaliah, at Mizpah, and the Chaldeans that were found there, [and] the men of war.
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 the second day after he had slain Gedaliah, and no man knew [it],
No segundo dia depois de ter matado Gedaliah, e nenhum homem sabia disso,
5 That there came men from Shechem, from Shiloh, and from Samaria, [even] eighty men, having their beards shaven, and their clothes rent, and having cut themselves, with offerings and incense in their hand, to bring [them] 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 Nethaniah went forth from Mizpah to meet them, weeping all along as he went: and it came to pass, as he met them, he said to them, Come to Gedaliah the 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 it was [so], when they came into the midst of the city, that Ishmael the son of Nethaniah slew them, [and cast them] into the midst of the pit, 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 to Ishmael, Slay us not: for we have treasures in the field, of wheat, and of barley, and of oil, and of honey. So he forbore, and slew them not among 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 Now the pit into which Ishmael had cast all the dead bodies of the men, whom he had slain because of Gedaliah, [was] that which Asa the king had made for fear of Baasha king of Israel: [and] Ishmael the son of Nethaniah filled it with [them that were] 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 carried away captive all the residue of the people that [were] in Mizpah, [even] the king's daughters, and all the people that remained in Mizpah, whom Nebuzar-adan the captain of the guard had committed to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam: and Ishmael the son of Nethaniah carried them away captive, and departed to go 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 But when Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces that [were] with him, heard of all the evil that Ishmael the son of Nethaniah 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 they took all the men, and went to fight with Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, and found him by the great waters that [are] 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 Now it came to pass, [that] when all the people who [were] with Ishmael saw Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces that [were] with him, then they were glad.
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 So all the people that Ishmael had carried away captive from Mizpah cast about and returned, and went to Johanan the 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 the son of Nethaniah escaped from Johanan with eight men, 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 the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces that [were] with him, took all the remnant of the people whom he had recovered from Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, from Mizpeh, after [that] he had slain Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, [even] mighty men of war, and the women, and the children, and the eunuchs, whom he had brought again 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 departed, and dwelt in the habitation of Chimham, which [is] by Beth-lehem, 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 Nethaniah had slain Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, whom the king of Babylon made governor in 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.
