Jeremias 41

SAGRADA BIBLIA	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
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 And it happened that, in the seventh month, Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, the son of Elishama of royal descent, with the nobles of the king, and accompanied by ten men, went to Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam, at Mizpah. And they ate bread together there, 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 Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, rose up, and the ten men who were with him, and they struck down Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, with the sword, and they killed 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 Likewise, Ishmael struck down all the Jews who were with Gedaliah at Mizpah, with the Chaldeans who were found there, and the men of war.
4 Dois dias depois da morte de Godolias, quando ainda todos a ignoravam,	4 Then, on the second day after he had killed Gedaliah, while no one yet knew of 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 men arrived from Shechem, and from Shiloh, and from Samaria, eighty men, with their beards shaved, and their garments rent, and unbathed. And they had gifts and frankincense in hand, so that they might make an offering in 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 Therefore, Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, departing from Mizpah to meet them, went forth weeping as he was walking. And when he had met them, he said to 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 when they had arrived at the center of the city, Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, put them to death around the public cistern, he and the men who 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, who said to Ishmael: “Do not kill us! For in the field we have storehouses of grain and barley and oil and honey.” And so he ceased, and he did not put them to death with their brothers.
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 cistern, into which Ishmael cast all the dead bodies of the men whom he had struck down because of Gedaliah, is the same one that king Asa made out of fear of Baasha, the king of Israel. This same cistern Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, filled with those who 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 led away captive all the remnant of the people who were at Mizpah, the king’s daughters as well as all the people who remained at Mizpah, whom Nebuzaradan, the leader of the military, had committed to Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam. And Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, seized them and went away, so that he might go over to the sons of Ammon.
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 Johanan, the son of Kareah, and all the leaders of the fighters who were with him, heard about 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 And taking all the men, they set out to make war against Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah. And they found him at 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 And when all the people who were with Ishmael had seen Johanan, the son of Kareah, and all the leaders of the fighters who were with him, they rejoiced.
14 E a multidão que Ismael trouxera de Masfa abandonou-o e foi unir-se a Joanã, filho de Carée.	14 And all the people whom Ishmael had seized turned back to Mizpah. And they returned and went over to 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, fled with eight men from the face of Johanan, and they went over to the sons of Ammon.
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 Therefore, Johanan, the son of Kareah, and all the leaders of the fighters who were with him, took from Mizpah the entire remnant of the common people, whom they had led away from Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, after he had struck down Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam. These were strong men of battle, and women, and children, and eunuchs: those whom he had led away 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 went away and settled as sojourners at Chimham, which is near Bethlehem, so that they might continue on and 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 away from the face of the Chaldeans. For they were afraid of them, because Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, had struck down Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam, whom the king of Babylon had made governor in the land of Judah.
