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.

But it happened that in the seventh month Ishmael son of Nethaniah son of Elishama, from the royal family, and some officers of the king, came—ten men were with him—to Gedaliah son of Ahikam, at Mizpah. They ate food together there in Mizpah.

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.

But Ishmael son of Nethaniah, and the ten men who were with him rose up and attacked Gedaliah son of Ahikam son of Shaphan, with the sword. Ishmael killed Gedaliah, whom the king of Babylon had put in charge of 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.

Then Ishmael killed all the Judeans who were with Gedaliah in Mizpah and the Chaldean fighting men found there.

4 Sucedeu pois no dia seguinte, depois que matara a Gedalias, e sem ninguém o saber,

Then it was the second day after the killing of Gedaliah, but no one knew.

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.

Some men came from Shechem, from Shiloh, and from Samaria—eighty men who had shaved their beard, torn their clothes, and cut themselves—with food offerings and frankincense in their hands to go to Yahweh's house.

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.

So Ishmael son of Nethaniah went out from Mizpah to meet them as they went, walking and weeping. Then it happened that as he encountered them, he said to them, “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.

It came about that when they came into the city, Ishmael son of Nethaniah slaughtered them and threw them into a pit, he and the men who were with him.

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 there were ten men among them who said to Ishmael, “Do not kill us, for there are provisions of ours in a field: Wheat and barley, oil and honey.” So he did not kill them with their other companions.

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.

The cistern where Ishmael threw all the dead bodies that he had killed, was a large cistern that King Asa dug to make a defense against King Baasha of Israel. Ishmael son of Nethaniah filled it in with the dead.

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.

Next Ishmael captured all the other people who were in Mizpah, the king's daughters and all the people who were left in Mizpah whom Nebuzaradan the chief guard had assigned to Gedaliah son of Ahikam. So Ishmael son of Nethaniah captured them and went to cross over to the people of Ammon.

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,

But Johanan son of Kareah and all the army commanders with him heard of all the harm that Ishmael son of Nethaniah had done.

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.

So they took all their men and went to fight against Ishmael son of Nethaniah. They found him at the great pool of 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.

Then it happened that when all the people who were with Ishmael saw Johanan son of Kareah and all the army commanders who were with him, they were very happy.

14 E todo o povo que Ishmael levara cativo de Mizpah virou as costas, e voltou, e foi para Johanan, filho de Careah.

So all the people whom Ishmael had captured at Mizpah turned around and went 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 fled with eight men from Johanan. He went to the people of Ammon.

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,

Johanan son of Kareah and all the army commanders with him took from Mizpah all the people who had been rescued from Ishmael son of Nethaniah. This was after Ishmael had killed Gedaliah son of Ahikam. Johanan and his companions took the strong men, the fighting men, the women and children, and the eunuchs who had been rescued at Gibeon.

17 E foram, e moraram na habitação de Geruth-chimham, que está perto de Beth-lehem, para se irem e entrarem no Egito,

Then they went and stayed for a while in Geruth Kimham, which is near Bethlehem. They were going to go to 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.

because of the Chaldeans. They were afraid of them since Ishmael son of Nethaniah had killed Gedaliah son of Ahikam, whom the king of Babylon had put in charge of the land.
