Jeremias 41

SAGRADA BIBLIA	KING JAMES BIBLE
1 Decorria o sétimo mês. Ismael, filho de Natanias, filho de Elisama, de linhagem real e um dos grandes do rei, apresentou-se, acompanhado de dez homens, diante de Godolias, filho de Aicão, em Masfa, e juntos comeram.	1 Now it came to pass in the seventh month, that Ishmael the son of Nethaniah the son of Elishama, of the seed royal, and the princes of the king, even ten men with him, came unto Gedaliah the son of Ahikam to Mizpah; and there they did eat bread together in Mizpah.
2 Então Ismael, filho de Natanias, e seus dez companheiros, a golpes de espada, atentaram contra a vida de Godolias, filho de Aicão, filho de Safã. E assim mataram aquele que o rei de Babilônia nomeara governador da terra,	2 Then arose Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, and the ten men that were with him, and smote Gedaliah the son of Ahikam the son of Shaphan with the sword, and slew him, whom the king of Babylon had made governor over the land.
3 bem como todos os judeus que estavam com ele. Ismael matou, igualmente, todos os guerreiros caldeus que lá se encontravam.	3 Ishmael also slew all the Jews that were with him, even with Gedaliah, at Mizpah, and the Chaldeans that were found there, and the men of war.
4 Dois dias depois da morte de Godolias, quando ainda todos a ignoravam,	4 And it came to pass the second day after he had slain Gedaliah, and no man knew it,
5 chegou a Siquém, de Silo e de Samaria um grupo de oitenta homens, de barba raspada, vestes rasgadas e o rosto desfigurado. Traziam oferendas e incenso para a casa do Senhor.	5 That there came certain from Shechem, from Shiloh, and from Samaria, even fourscore men, having their beards shaven, and their clothes rent, and having cut themselves, with offerings and incense in their hand, to bring them to the house of the LORD.
6 Ismael, filho de Natanias, saiu de Masfa ao encontro deles, banhado em lágrimas. Quando, afinal, os encontrou, disse-lhes: Vinde a Godolias, filho de Aicão.	6 And Ishmael the son of Nethaniah went forth from Mizpah to meet them, weeping all along as he went: and it came to pass, as he met them, he said unto them, Come to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam.
7 Apenas, porém, chegaram ao meio da cidade, mandou Ismael decapitá-los, e lançar seus corpos em uma cisterna.	7 And it was so, when they came into the midst of the city, that Ishmael the son of Nethaniah slew them, and cast them into the midst of the pit, he, and the men that were with him.
8 Entre as vítimas, contudo, encontravam-se dez homens que disseram a Ismael: Não nos mates. Temos no campo provisões escondidas de trigo, cevada, azeite e mel. Diante disso, suspendeu Ismael o massacre e não os matou como os demais, seus irmãos.	8 But ten men were found among them that said unto Ishmael, Slay us not: for we have treasures in the field, of wheat, and of barley, and of oil, and of honey. So he forbare, and slew them not among their brethren.
9 A cisterna em que Ismael lançara os cadáveres dos homens que matara era imensa e fora perfurada pelo rei Asa, quando se defendia contra Baasa, rei de Israel. Foi essa cisterna que Ismael encheu de cadáveres.	9 Now the pit wherein Ishmael had cast all the dead bodies of the men, whom he had slain because of Gedaliah, was it which Asa the king had made for fear of Baasha king of Israel: and Ishmael the son of Nethaniah filled it with them that were slain.
10 Em seguida, aprisionou quantos ainda restavam em Masfa, as princesas reais e toda a população que lá ficara, entregue por Nabuzardã, chefe dos guardas, aos cuidados de Godolias, filho de Aicão. Conduzindo seus cativos, pôs-se Ismael a caminho das terras dos filhos de Amon.	10 Then Ishmael carried away captive all the residue of the people that were in Mizpah, even the king's daughters, and all the people that remained in Mizpah, whom Nebuzar-adan the captain of the guard had committed to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam: and Ishmael the son of Nethaniah carried them away captive, and departed to go over to the Ammonites.
11 Ante a notícia de todo o mal que cometera Ismael, filho de Natanias, Joanã, filho de Carée e os oficiais de guerra que o acompanhavam	11 But when Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces that were with him, heard of all the evil that Ishmael the son of Nethaniah had done,
12 reuniram todos os seus homens a fim de atacar Ismael, filho de Natanias. Alcançaram-no perto da piscina de Gabaon.	12 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 Quando todo o povo que estava com Ismael avistou Joanã, filho de Carée, e todos os oficiais de guerra que vinham com ele, encheu-se de alegria.	13 Now it came to pass, that when all the people which were with Ishmael saw Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces that were with him, then they were glad.
14 E a multidão que Ismael trouxera de Masfa abandonou-o e foi unir-se a Joanã, filho de Carée.	14 So all the people that Ishmael had carried away captive from Mizpah cast about and returned, and went unto Johanan the son of Kareah.
15 Entretanto, Ismael, filho de Natanias, conseguiu escapar de Joanã, com mais oito homens, fugindo para a terra dos filhos de Amon.	15 But Ishmael the son of Nethaniah escaped from Johanan with eight men, and went to the Ammonites.
16 Então, Joanã, filho de Carée, e os oficiais que o acompanhavam, puseram-se à testa da tropa de sobreviventes de que Ismael, filho de Natanias, se apoderara em Masfa, após o assassínio de Godolias, filho de Aicão. Guerreiros, mulheres, crianças e eunucos, fê-los todos regressar de Gabaon.	16 Then took Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces that were with him, all the remnant of the people whom he had recovered from Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, from Mizpah, after that he had slain Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, even mighty men of war, and the women, and the children, and the eunuchs, whom he had brought again from Gibeon:
17 Puseram-se então a caminho, detendo-se em Camaã, nas proximidades de Belém, para de lá se retirarem para o Egito.	17 And they departed, and dwelt in the habitation of Chimham, which is by Bethlehem, to go to enter into Egypt,
18 Queriam assim furtar-se aos caldeus, dos quais receavam represálias, dado que Ismael, filho de Natanias, assassinara Godolias, filho de Aicão, nomeado para governar a terra pelo rei de Babilônia.	18 Because of the Chaldeans: for they were afraid of them, because Ishmael the son of Nethaniah had slain Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, whom the king of Babylon made governor in the land.
