1 Pasur, hijo de Imer, sacerdote y principal encargado del templo del Señor, oyó que Jeremías decía estas cosas.
1 Now Pashhur, the son of Immer the priest, who was chief officer in Yahweh’s house, heard Jeremiah prophesying these things.
2 Pasur golpeó a Jeremías y le sujetó los pies en un cepo de madera que estaba en la puerta superior de Benjamín, en el templo del Señor.
2 Then Pashhur struck Jeremiah the prophet and put him in the stocks that were in the upper gate of Benjamin, which was in Yahweh’s house.
3 Al día siguiente, Pasur soltó a Jeremías. Entonces Jeremías le dijo: «El Señor te ha dado el nombre de Magor-misabib (Causa de temor por todas partes), y no Pasur.
3 On the next day, Pashhur released Jeremiah out of the stocks. Then Jeremiah said to him, “Yahweh has not called your name Pashhur, but Magormissabib.
4 Así dice el Señor: Haré que seas motivo de terror para ti mismo y para todos tus amigos. Ellos morirán por la espada de sus enemigos, y tú lo verás. Entregaré a todo Judá en manos del rey de Babilonia, que los llevará cautivos a Babilonia y los matará con la espada.
4 For Yahweh says, ‘Behold, I will make you a terror to yourself and to all your friends. They will fall by the sword of their enemies, and your eyes will see it. I will give all Judah into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he will carry them captive to Babylon, and will kill them with the sword.
5 También entregaré a sus enemigos todas las riquezas, las ganancias y las cosas de valor de esta ciudad, y todos los tesoros de los reyes de Judá. Los saquearán y los llevarán a Babilonia.
5 Moreover I will give all the riches of this city, and all its gains, and all its precious things, yes, I will give all the treasures of the kings of Judah into the hand of their enemies. They will make them captives, take them, and carry them to Babylon.
6 Tú, Pasur, y todos los de tu casa irán al cautiverio. Llegarás a Babilonia y allí serás enterrado, tú y todos los amigos a quienes dijiste palabras falsas».
6 You, Pashhur, and all who dwell in your house will go into captivity. You will come to Babylon, and there you will die, and there you will be buried, you, and all your friends, to whom you have prophesied falsely.’”
7 Señor, tú me engañaste y yo caí en el engaño. Eres más fuerte que yo y me has vencido. Todo el día soy motivo de risa; todos se burlan de mí.
7 Yahweh, you have persuaded me, and I was persuaded. You are stronger than I, and have prevailed. I have become a laughingstock all day. Everyone mocks me.
8 Cada palabra que digo es un grito de auxilio. Grito: «¡Violencia y destrucción!», porque la palabra del Señor me causa vergüenza y burlas todo el día.
8 For as often as I speak, I cry out; I cry, “Violence and destruction!” because Yahweh’s word has been made a reproach to me, and a derision, all day.
9 Si digo: «No lo recordaré ni volveré a hablar en su nombre», su palabra es en mi corazón como un fuego ardiente encerrado en mis huesos. Me canso de contenerlo y no puedo hacerlo.
9 If I say that I will not make mention of him, or speak any more in his name, then there is in my heart as it were a burning fire shut up in my bones. I am weary with holding it in. I can’t.
10 Oigo a muchos hablar mal de mí en secreto (hay terror por todas partes). Dicen: «¡Vengan, acusémoslo!». Mis amigos más cercanos esperan que caiga y dicen: «Tal vez sea engañado; entonces lo venceremos y lo castigaremos».
10 For I have heard the defaming of many: “Terror on every side! Denounce, and we will denounce him!” say all my familiar friends, those who watch for my fall. “Perhaps he will be persuaded, and we will prevail against him, and we will take our revenge on him.”
11 Pero el Señor está conmigo como alguien poderoso y muy temible. Por eso mis atacantes caerán y no me vencerán. Quedarán muy avergonzados por no haber actuado con sabiduría; su vergüenza será eterna y nunca se olvidará.
11 But Yahweh is with me as an awesome mighty one. Therefore my persecutors will stumble, and they won’t prevail. They will be utterly disappointed because they have not dealt wisely, even with an everlasting dishonor which will never be forgotten.
12 Señor de los ejércitos, tú pones a prueba al justo y ves los pensamientos y el corazón. Déjame ver cómo los castigas, porque te he confiado mi causa.
12 But Yahweh of Armies, who tests the righteous, who sees the heart and the mind, let me see your vengeance on them, for I have revealed my cause to you.
13 Canten al Señor y alábenlo, porque ha librado la vida del pobre de las manos de los malvados.
13 Sing to Yahweh! Praise Yahweh, for he has delivered the soul of the needy from the hand of evildoers.
14 ¡Maldito sea el día en que nací! Que no sea bendecido el día en que mi madre me dio a luz.
14 Cursed is the day in which I was born. Don’t let the day in which my mother bore me be blessed.
15 ¡Maldito sea el hombre que anunció a mi padre: «Te ha nacido un hijo varón», y lo llenó de alegría!
15 Cursed is the man who brought news to my father, saying, “A boy is born to you,” making him very glad.
16 Que ese hombre sea como las ciudades que el Señor destruyó sin piedad. Que oiga gritos de auxilio por la mañana y sonidos de guerra al mediodía,
16 Let that man be as the cities which Yahweh overthrew, and didn’t repent. Let him hear a cry in the morning, and shouting at noontime,
17 porque no me mató antes de que naciera. Así mi madre habría sido mi tumba y habría seguido embarazada para siempre.
17 because he didn’t kill me from the womb. So my mother would have been my grave, and her womb always great.
18 ¿Por qué salí del vientre de mi madre para ver dolor y tristeza y terminar mis días consumido por la vergüenza?
18 Why did I come out of the womb to see labor and sorrow, that my days should be consumed with shame?
