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.

Now in the seventh month, Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, the son of Elishama, of the royal offspring and one of the chief officers of the king, and ten men with him, came to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam to Mizpah; and there they ate bread together 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.

Then Ishmael the son of Nethaniah arose, and the ten men who were with him, and struck Gedaliah the son of Ahikam the son of Shaphan with the sword and killed him, whom the king of Babylon had made governor over 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.

Ishmael also killed all the Jews who were with Gedaliah at Mizpah, and the Chaldean men of war who were found there.

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

The second day after he had killed Gedaliah, and no man knew it,

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.

men came from Shechem, from Shiloh, and from Samaria, even eighty men, having their beards shaved and their clothes torn, and having cut themselves, with meal offerings and frankincense in their hand, to bring them to the LORD’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.

Ishmael the son of Nethaniah went out from Mizpah to meet them, weeping all along as he went, and as he met them, he said to them, “Come to Gedaliah the 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 was so, when they came into the middle of the city, that Ishmael the son of Nethaniah killed them, and cast them into the middle of the 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 ten men were found amongst those who said to Ishmael, “Don’t kill us; for we have stores hidden in the field, of wheat, and of barley, and of oil, and of honey.” So he stopped, and didn’t kill them amongst their brothers.

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.

Now the pit in which Ishmael cast all the dead bodies of the men whom he had killed, by the side of Gedaliah (this was that which Asa the king had made for fear of Baasha king of Israel), Ishmael the son of Nethaniah filled it with those who were killed.

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.

Then Ishmael carried away captive all of the people who were left in Mizpah, even the king’s daughters, and all the people who remained in Mizpah, whom Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard had committed to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam. Ishmael the son of Nethaniah carried them away captive, and departed to go over to the children 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 when Yochanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces who were with him, heard of all the evil that Ishmael the 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.

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.

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.

Now when all the people who were with Ishmael saw Yochanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces who were with him, then they were glad.

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 who Ishmael had carried away captive from Mizpah turned about and came back, and went to Yochanan the 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 the son of Nethaniah escaped from Yochanan with eight men, and went to the children 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.

Then Yochanan the son of Kareah and all the captains of the forces who were with him took all the remnant of the people whom he had recovered from Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, from Mizpah, after he had killed Gedaliah the son of Ahikam—the men of war, with the women, the children, and the eunuchs, whom he had brought back from Gibeon.

17 E foram, e habitaram em Gerute-Quimã, que é perto de Belém, a fim de saírem [dali] para entrarem no Egito,

They departed and lived in Geruth Chimham, which is by Bethlehem, to go to enter into 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 Kasdim; for they were afraid of them, because Ishmael the son of Nethaniah had killed Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, whom the king of Babylon made governor over the land.
