1 S ucedeu, porém, no mês sétimo, que veio Ismael, filho de Netanias, filho de Elisama, de sangue real, e um dos nobres do rei, e dez homens com ele, a Gedalias, filho de Aicão, a Mizpá; e eles comeram pão juntos ali em Mizpá.

In the seventh month, Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, the son of Elishama, of the king’s family, came to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam at Mizpah. He came with one of the head captains of the king, and ten other men. While they were eating bread together there in Mizpah,

2 E levantou-se Ismael, filho de Netanias, com os dez homens que estavam com ele, e feriram a Gedalias, filho de Aicão, filho de Safã, ã espada, matando assim aquele que o rei de Babilônia havia posto por governador sobre a terra.

Ishmael the son of Nethaniah and the ten men who were with him rose up and killed Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, with the sword. They killed the one whom the king of Babylon had chosen to rule the land.

3 M atou também Ismael a todos os judeus que estavam com Gedalias, em Mizpá, como também aos soldados caldeus que se achavam ali.

Ishmael also killed all the Jews who were with Gedaliah at Mizpah, and the Babylonian soldiers who were found there.

4 S ucedeu pois no dia seguinte, depois que ele matara a Gedalias, sem ninguém o saber,

The next day, before anyone knew that Gedaliah had been killed,

5 q ue vieram de Siquém, de Siló e de Samária, oitenta homens, com a barba rapada, e os vestidos rasgados e tendo as carnes retalhadas, trazendo nas mãos ofertas de cereais e incenso, para os levarem ã casa do Senhor.

eighty men came from Shechem, from Shiloh, and from Samaria. Their hair was cut from their faces, their clothes were torn, and their bodies were cut. They came with grain gifts and special perfume in their hands to bring to the house of the Lord.

6 E , saindo-lhes ao encontro Ismael, filho de Netanias, desde Mizpá, ia chorando; e sucedeu que, encontrando-os, lhes disse: Vinde a Gedalias, filho de Aicão.

Then Ishmael the son of Nethaniah went out from Mizpah to meet them, crying as he went. As he met them he said, “Come to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam.”

7 C hegando eles, porém, até o meio da cidade, Ismael, filho de Netanias, e os homens que estavam com ele mataram-nos e os lançaram num poço.

When they came inside the city, Ishmael the son of Nethaniah and the men who were with him killed them, and threw them into the well.

8 M as entre eles se acharam dez homens que disseram a Ismael: Não nos mates a nós, porque temos escondidos no campo depósitos de trigo, cevada, azeite e mel. E ele por isso 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 we have stores of grain, barley, oil and honey hidden in the field.” So he did not kill them with their friends.

9 E o poço em que Ismael lançou todos os cadáveres dos homens que matara por causa de Gedalias é o mesmo que fez o rei Asa, por causa de Baasa, rei de Israel; foi esse mesmo que Ismael, filho de Netanias, encheu de mortos.

The well where Ishmael had thrown all the bodies of the men he had killed because of Gedaliah was the one that King Asa had made because of his fear of Baasha, king of Israel. Ishmael the son the Nethaniah filled it with the dead.

10 E Ismael levou cativo a todo o resto do povo que estava em Mizpá: as filhas do rei, e todo o povo que ficara em Mizpá, que Nebuzaradão, capitão da guarda, havia confiado a Gedalias, filho de Aicão; e levou-os cativos Ismael, filho de Netanias, e se foi para passar aos filhos de Amom.

Then he put all the rest of the Jews in chains who were in Mizpah, the king’s daughters and all the people left in Mizpah, whom Nebuzaradan, the captain of the prison soldiers, had put under the rule of Gedaliah the son of Ahikam. Then Ishmael the son of Nethaniah took them and started to cross over to the sons of Ammon.

11 O uvindo, porém, Joanã, filho de Careá, e todos os chefes das forças que estavam com ele, todo o mal que havia feito Ismael, filho de Netanias,

But Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the armies that were with him, heard about all the bad things that Ishmael the son of Nethaniah had done.

12 t omaram todos os seus homens e foram pelejar contra Ismael, filho de Netanias; e o acharam ao pé das grandes águas que há em Gibeão.

So they took all the men and went to fight with Ishmael the son of Nethaniah. They found him by the large pool in Gibeon.

13 E todo o povo que estava com Ismael se alegrou quando viu a Joanã, filho de Careá, e a todos os chefes das forças, que vinham com ele.

When all the people who were with Ishmael saw Johanan the son of Kareah and the captains of the armies with him, they were glad.

14 E todo o povo que Ismael levara cativo de Mizpá virou as costas, e voltou, e foi para Joanã, filho de Careá.

So all the people Ishmael had taken from Mizpah turned around and came back, and went to Johanan the son of Kareah.

15 M as Ismael, filho de Netanias, com oito homens, escapou de Joanã e se foi para os filhos de Amom.

But Ishmael the son of Nethaniah got away from Johanan with eight men and went to the sons of Ammon.

16 E ntão Joanã, filho de Careá, e todos os chefes das forças que estavam com ele, tomaram a todo o resto do povo que Ismael, filho de Netanias, tinha levado cativo de Mizpá, depois que matara Gedalias, filho de Aicão, a saber, aos soldados, as mulheres, aos meninos e aos eunucos, que Joanã havia recobrado de Gibeão,

Then Johanan the son of Kareah and all the captains of the armies that were with him took all the rest of the people whom Ishmael the son of Nethaniah had taken away from Mizpah after he had killed Gedaliah the son of Ahikam. They took the soldiers, the women, the children, and the servants, whom Johanan had brought back from Gibeon,

17 e partiram, indo habitar Gerute-Quimã, que está perto de Belém, para dali entrarem no Egito,

and they went and stayed in GeruthChimham near Bethlehem. They were on their way to Egypt

18 p or causa dos caldeus; pois os temiam, por ter Ismael, filho de Netanias, matado a Gedalias, filho de Aicão, a quem o rei de Babilônia tinha posto por governador sobre a terra.

because of the Babylonians. For they were afraid of them, because Ishmael the son of Nethaniah had killed Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, whom the king of Babylon had chosen to rule the land.
