< Jeremias 41 >

1 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.
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.
2 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.
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.
3 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.
Ishmael also killed all the Jews who were with Gedaliah at Mizpah, as well as the Chaldean soldiers who were there.
4 Sucedeu pois no dia seguinte, depois que matara a Gedalias, e sem ninguém o saber,
On the second day after the murder of Gedaliah, when no one yet knew about it,
5 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.
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.
6 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.
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.”
7 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.
And when they came into the city, Ishmael son of Nethaniah and the men with him slaughtered them and threw them into a cistern.
8 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.
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.
9 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.
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.
10 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.
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.
11 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,
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,
12 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.
they took all their men and went to fight Ishmael son of Nethaniah. And they found him near the great pool in Gibeon.
13 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.
When all the people with Ishmael saw Johanan son of Kareah and all the commanders of the army with him, they rejoiced,
14 E todo o povo que Ishmael levara cativo de Mizpah virou as costas, e voltou, e foi para Johanan, filho de Careah.
and all the people whom Ishmael had taken captive at Mizpah turned and went over to Johanan son of Kareah.
15 Porém Ishmael, filho de Nethanias, escapou com oito homens de diante de Johanan, e se foi para os filhos de Ammon.
But Ishmael son of Nethaniah and eight of his men escaped from Johanan and went to the Ammonites.
16 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,
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.
17 E foram, e moraram na habitação de Geruth-chimham, que está perto de Beth-lehem, para se irem e entrarem no Egito,
And they went and stayed in Geruth Chimham, near Bethlehem, in order to proceed into Egypt
18 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.
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.
