Jeremias fica em Mispa com Gedalias
40 Palavra que veio a Jeremias, da parte do Senhor, depois que Nebuzaradã, capitão da guarda, o deixou ir de Ramá, quando o tomou, estando ele atado com cadeias no meio de todos os do cativeiro de Jerusalém e de Judá, que foram levados cativos para a Babilônia; 2 porque o capitão da guarda levou a Jeremias e lhe disse. O Senhor, teu Deus, pronunciou este mal contra este lugar; 3 e o Senhor o trouxe e fez como tinha dito, porque pecastes contra o Senhor e não obedecestes à sua voz; pelo que vos sucedeu tudo isto. 4 Agora, pois, eis que te soltei, hoje, das cadeias que estavam sobre as tuas mãos. Se te apraz vir comigo para a Babilônia, vem, e eu velarei por ti; mas, se te não apraz vir comigo para Babilônia, deixa de vir. Olha: toda a terra está diante de ti; para onde parecer bom e reto aos teus olhos que vás, para ali vai. 5 Mas, como ele ainda não tinha voltado, disse-lhe: Volta a Gedalias, filho de Aicão, filho de Safã, a quem o rei da Babilônia pôs sobre as cidades de Judá, e habita com ele no meio do povo; ou, se para qualquer outra parte te aprouver ir, vai. Deu-lhe o capitão da guarda sustento para o caminho e um presente e o deixou ir. 6 Assim, veio Jeremias a Gedalias, filho de Aicão, a Mispa e habitou com ele no meio do povo que havia ficado na terra.
7 Ouvindo, pois, todos os príncipes dos exércitos que estavam no campo, eles e os seus homens, que o rei da Babilônia tinha posto sobre a terra a Gedalias, filho de Aicão, e que lhe havia confiado os homens, e as mulheres, e os meninos, e os mais pobres da terra, que não foram levados cativos para a Babilônia, 8 vieram ter com Gedalias, a Mispa; e eram: Ismael, filho de Netanias, e Joanã e Jônatas, filhos de Careá, e Seraías, filho de Tanumete, e os filhos de Efai, o netofatita, e Jezanias, filho de um maacatita, eles e os seus homens. 9 Jurou Gedalias, filho de Aicão, filho de Safã, a eles e aos seus homens, dizendo: Não temais servir aos caldeus; ficai na terra e servi ao rei da Babilônia, e bem vos irá. 10 Eu, porém, eis que habito em Mispa, para estar às ordens dos caldeus que vierem a nós; e vós, recolhei o vinho, e as frutas de verão, e o azeite, e metei-os nas vossas vasilhas, e habitai nas cidades que tomastes. 11 Do mesmo modo, quando todos os judeus que estavam em Moabe, e entre os filhos de Amom, e em Edom, e os que havia em todas aquelas terras ouviram que o rei da Babilônia havia deixado um resto em Judá e que havia posto sobre eles a Gedalias, filho de Aicão, filho de Safã, 12 tornaram, então, todos os judeus de todos os lugares para onde foram lançados, e vieram à terra de Judá, a Gedalias, a Mispa, e recolheram vinho e frutas do verão com muita abundância.
13 Joanã, filho de Careá, e todos os príncipes dos exércitos que estavam no campo vieram a Gedalias, a Mispa. 14 E disseram-lhe: Bem sabes que Baalis, rei dos filhos de Amom, enviou a Ismael, filho de Netanias, para te tirar a vida. Mas não lhes deu crédito Gedalias, filho de Aicão. 15 Todavia, Joanã, filho de Careá, falou a Gedalias em segredo, em Mispa, dizendo: Irei, agora, e ferirei a Ismael, filho de Netanias, sem que ninguém o saiba. Por que razão te tiraria ele a vida, e todo o Judá que se tem congregado a ti seria disperso, e pereceria o resto de Judá? 16 Mas disse Gedalias, filho de Aicão, a Joanã, filho de Careá: Não faças tal coisa, porque falas falsamente contra Ismael.

Jeremiah Remains in Judah
40 The word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord (A)after Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard had let him go from (B)Ramah, when he took him (C)bound in chains along with all the captives of Jerusalem and Judah who were being exiled to Babylon. 2 The captain of the guard took Jeremiah and said to him, (D)“The Lord your God pronounced this disaster against this place. 3 The Lord has brought it about, and has done as he said. (E)Because you sinned against the Lord and did not obey his voice, this thing has come upon you. 4 Now, behold, I release you today from (F)the chains on your hands. (G)If it seems good to you to come with me to Babylon, come, and I will look after you well, (H)but if it seems wrong to you to come with me to Babylon, do not come. (I)See, the whole land is before you; go wherever you think it good and right to go. 5 If you remain,[a] then return to (J)Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, son of Shaphan, (K)whom the king of Babylon appointed governor of the cities of Judah, and dwell with him among the people. Or go wherever you think it right to go.” So the captain of the guard gave him an allowance of food and a present, and let him go. 6 Then Jeremiah went to (L)Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, at (M)Mizpah, and lived with him (N)among the people (O)who were left in the land.
7 (P)When all the captains of the forces in the open country and their men heard that (Q)the king of Babylon had appointed Gedaliah the son of Ahikam governor in the land and had committed to him men, women, and children, those of (R)the poorest of the land who had not been taken into exile to Babylon, 8 they went to Gedaliah at (S)Mizpah—(T)Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, (U)Johanan the son of Kareah, Seraiah the son of Tanhumeth, the sons of Ephai the Netophathite, (V)Jezaniah the son of the Maacathite, they and their men. 9 Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, son of Shaphan, swore to them and their men, saying, “Do not be afraid to serve the Chaldeans. Dwell in the land and serve the king of Babylon, (W)and it shall be well with you. 10 As for me, I will dwell at (X)Mizpah, to represent you before the Chaldeans who will come to us. But as for you, (Y)gather wine and summer fruits and oil, and store them in your vessels, and dwell in your cities that you have taken.” 11 Likewise, when all the Judeans who were in (Z)Moab and among (AA)the Ammonites and in (AB)Edom and in other lands heard that the king of Babylon had left a remnant in Judah and had appointed Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, son of Shaphan, as governor over them, 12 (AC)then all the Judeans returned from all the places to which they had been driven and came to the land of Judah, to Gedaliah at Mizpah. And they (AD)gathered wine and summer fruits in great abundance.
13 Now (AE)Johanan the son of Kareah and (AF)all the leaders of the forces in the open country came to Gedaliah at Mizpah 14 and said to him, “Do you know that Baalis the king of (AG)the Ammonites has sent Ishmael the son of Nethaniah to take your life?” But Gedaliah the son of Ahikam would not believe them. 15 Then Johanan the son of Kareah spoke secretly to Gedaliah at Mizpah, “Please let me go and strike down Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, and no one will know it. Why should he take your life, so that all the Judeans who are gathered about you would be scattered, (AH)and the remnant of Judah would perish?” 16 But Gedaliah the son of Ahikam said to Johanan the son of Kareah, “You shall not do this thing, for you are speaking falsely of Ishmael.”

Jeremiah Freed
40 The word came to Jeremiah from the Lord after Nebuzaradan commander of the imperial guard had released him at Ramah.(A) He had found Jeremiah bound in chains among all the captives(B) from Jerusalem and Judah who were being carried into exile to Babylon. 2 When the commander(C) of the guard found Jeremiah, he said to him, “The Lord your God decreed(D) this disaster(E) for this place.(F) 3 And now the Lord has brought it about; he has done just as he said he would. All this happened because you people sinned(G) against the Lord and did not obey(H) him. 4 But today I am freeing(I) you from the chains(J) on your wrists. Come with me to Babylon, if you like, and I will look after you; but if you do not want to, then don’t come. Look, the whole country lies before you; go wherever you please.”(K) 5 However, before Jeremiah turned to go,[a] Nebuzaradan added, “Go back to Gedaliah(L) son of Ahikam,(M) the son of Shaphan, whom the king of Babylon has appointed(N) over the towns(O) of Judah, and live with him among the people, or go anywhere else you please.”(P)
Then the commander gave him provisions and a present(Q) and let him go. 6 So Jeremiah went to Gedaliah son of Ahikam at Mizpah(R) and stayed with him among the people who were left behind in the land.
Gedaliah Assassinated(S)
7 When all the army officers and their men who were still in the open country heard that the king of Babylon had appointed Gedaliah son of Ahikam as governor(T) over the land and had put him in charge of the men, women and children who were the poorest(U) in the land and who had not been carried into exile to Babylon, 8 they came to Gedaliah at Mizpah(V)—Ishmael(W) son of Nethaniah, Johanan(X) and Jonathan the sons of Kareah, Seraiah son of Tanhumeth, the sons of Ephai the Netophathite,(Y) and Jaazaniah[b] the son of the Maakathite,(Z) and their men. 9 Gedaliah son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, took an oath to reassure them and their men. “Do not be afraid to serve(AA) the Babylonians,[c](AB)” he said. “Settle down in the land and serve the king of Babylon, and it will go well with you.(AC) 10 I myself will stay at Mizpah(AD) to represent you before the Babylonians who come to us, but you are to harvest the wine,(AE) summer fruit and olive oil, and put them in your storage jars,(AF) and live in the towns you have taken over.”(AG)
11 When all the Jews in Moab,(AH) Ammon, Edom(AI) and all the other countries(AJ) heard that the king of Babylon had left a remnant in Judah and had appointed Gedaliah son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, as governor over them, 12 they all came back to the land of Judah, to Gedaliah at Mizpah, from all the countries where they had been scattered.(AK) And they harvested an abundance of wine and summer fruit.
13 Johanan(AL) son of Kareah and all the army officers still in the open country came to Gedaliah at Mizpah(AM) 14 and said to him, “Don’t you know that Baalis king of the Ammonites(AN) has sent Ishmael(AO) son of Nethaniah to take your life?” But Gedaliah son of Ahikam did not believe them.
15 Then Johanan(AP) son of Kareah said privately to Gedaliah in Mizpah, “Let me go and kill(AQ) Ishmael son of Nethaniah, and no one will know it. Why should he take your life and cause all the Jews who are gathered around you to be scattered(AR) and the remnant(AS) of Judah to perish?”
16 But Gedaliah son of Ahikam said to Johanan(AT) son of Kareah, “Don’t do such a thing! What you are saying about Ishmael is not true.”
