Jeremias 41

1 Sucedeu, porém, no sétimo mês, que Ismael filho de Netanias, filho de Elisama, da semente real, veio com alguns capitães do rei, dez homens com ele, até Gedalias filho de Aicã em Mispá; e comeram pão juntos ali em Mispá.

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 Então levantou-se Ismael filho de Netanias, e os dez homens que com ele estavam, e feriram à espada a Gedalias filho de Aicã, filho de Safã, matando assim a aquele a quem o rei da Babilônia tinha 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 Assim também Ismael feriu a todos os judeus que estavam com ele, com Gedalias em Mispá, e aos soldados caldeus que ali se acharam.

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

4 Aconteceu, pois, no dia seguinte, depois que havia matado a Gedalias, quando ninguém sabia ainda,

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

5 Que vieram homens de Siquém, de Siló, e de Samaria, oitenta homens, tendo a barba raspada, e as roupas rasgadas, e tendo ferido seus próprios corpos; e [traziam] em suas mãos oferta de alimentos e incenso para levar 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 Ismael filho de Netanias saiu ao encontro deles desde Mispá, chorando; e sucedeu que, quando os encontrou, disse-lhes: Vinde a Gedalias, filho de Aicã.

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 E sucedeu que, quando eles chegaram ao meio da cidade, Ismael filho de Netanias os degolou, e [os lançou] no meio de um poço, ele e os homens que com ele estavam.

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 entre aqueles se acharam dez homens que disseram a Ismael: Não nos mates; porque temos tesouros escondidos no campo, de trigos, e cevada, azeite, e mel. E ele 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 Ismael lançou todos os cadáveres dos homens que feriu por causa de Gedalias, era o mesmo que o rei Asa havia feito por causa de Baasa, rei de Israel. A este Ismael, filho de Netanias, encheu de mortos.

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 Depois Ismael levou cativo a todo o resto do povo que estava em Mispá; às filhas do rei, e a todo o povo que em Mispá tinha restado, o qual tinha Nabuzaradã capitão da guarda havia encarregado a Gedalias filho de Aicã. Então Ismael os levou cativos, e foi embora, para passar aos filhos de Amom.

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 E quando Joanã filho de Careá, e todos os comandantes dos exércitos que estavam com ele, ouviram todo o mal que Ismael filho de Netanias tinha feito,

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 a todos os homens, e foram lutar contra Ismael filho de Netanias; e o acharam junto às muitas águas que ficam em Gibeão.

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, quando todo o povo que estava com Ismael viu a Joanã filho de Careá, e a todos os comandantes dos exércitos que estavam com ele, alegraram-se.

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 Ismael tinha levado cativo de Mispá, viraram-se, e se voltaram, e foram a Joanã filho de Careá.

So all the people whom Ishmael had captured at Mizpah turned around and went to Johanan son of Kareah.

15 Porém Ismael filho de Netanias escapou com oito homens diante de Joanã, e se foi aos filhos de Amom.

But Ishmael son of Nethaniah fled with eight men from Johanan. He went to the people of Ammon.

16 Então Joanã filho de Careá, e todos os comandantes dos exércitos que com ele estavam, tomaram todo o resto do povo que tinham trazido de volta de Ismael filho de Netanias, de Mispá, depois dele ter ferido a Gedalias filho de Aicã: homens valentes de guerra, mulheres, e crianças; e os eunucos, que tinha trazido de volta de Gibeão.

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 habitaram em Gerute-Quimã, que é perto de Belém, a fim de saírem [dali] para 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; pois eles temiam por Ismael filho de Netanias ter ferido a Gedalias filho de Aicã, ao qual 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.
