< 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
4 And it came to pass on the second day after he had put Gedalyahu to death, while no man knew of it,
Sucedeu pois no dia seguinte, depois que matara a Gedalias, e sem ninguém o saber,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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:
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
E todo o povo que Ishmael levara cativo de Mizpah virou as costas, e voltou, e foi para Johanan, filho de Careah.
15 But Ishmael the son of Nethanyah escaped with eight men from the presence of Jochanan, and he went to the children of 'Ammon.
Porém Ishmael, filho de Nethanias, escapou com oito homens de diante de Johanan, e se foi para os filhos 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 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,
17 And they went, and remained in Geruth-Kimham, which is by Beth-lechem, to go to enter into Egypt,
E foram, e moraram na habitação de Geruth-chimham, que está perto de Beth-lehem, para se irem e entrarem 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; 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.
