1 El Señor le habló a Jeremías cuando el rey Sedequías le envió a Pasur, hijo de Malquías, y al sacerdote Sofonías, hijo de Maasías, con este mensaje:
1 The word which came to Jeremiah from Yahweh, when King Zedekiah sent to him Pashhur the son of Malchijah, and Zephaniah the son of Maaseiah, the priest, saying,
2 «Consulta al Señor por nosotros, porque Nabucodonosor, rey de Babilonia, nos hace la guerra. Tal vez el Señor haga por nosotros alguna de sus maravillas y lo aleje de aquí».
2 “Please inquire of Yahweh for us; for Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon makes war against us. Perhaps Yahweh will deal with us according to all his wondrous works, that he may withdraw from us.”
3 Jeremías les respondió: «Díganle a Sedequías:
3 Then Jeremiah said to them, “Tell Zedekiah:
4 Así dice el Señor, el Dios de Israel: Haré retroceder las armas que llevan en las manos y con las que luchan contra el rey de Babilonia y los caldeos que los cercan fuera de las murallas. Los reuniré dentro de esta ciudad.
4 ‘Yahweh, the God of Israel says, “Behold, I will turn back the weapons of war that are in your hands, with which you fight against the king of Babylon, and against the Chaldeans who besiege you outside the walls; and I will gather them into the middle of this city.
5 Yo mismo lucharé contra ustedes con mano extendida y brazo fuerte, con enojo, furor y gran ira.
5 I myself will fight against you with an outstretched hand and with a strong arm, even in anger, in wrath, and in great indignation.
6 Enviaré una gran enfermedad sobre los habitantes de esta ciudad, sobre las personas y los animales, y morirán.
6 I will strike the inhabitants of this city, both man and animal. They will die of a great pestilence.
7 Después», dice el Señor, «entregaré a Sedequías, rey de Judá, a sus siervos y a su pueblo, a todos los que hayan sobrevivido en la ciudad a la enfermedad, la espada y el hambre, en manos de Nabucodonosor, rey de Babilonia, de sus enemigos y de quienes quieren matarlos. Él los matará con la espada; no dejará escapar a nadie ni tendrá piedad ni misericordia.
7 Afterward,” says Yahweh, “I will deliver Zedekiah king of Judah, his servants, and the people, even those who are left in this city from the pestilence, from the sword, and from the famine, into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and into the hand of their enemies, and into the hand of those who seek their life. He will strike them with the edge of the sword. He will not spare them, have pity, or have mercy.”’
8 A este pueblo le dirás: Así dice el Señor: Pongo ante ustedes el camino de la vida y el camino de la muerte.
8 “You shall say to this people, ‘Yahweh says: “Behold, I set before you the way of life and the way of death.
9 El que permanezca en esta ciudad morirá por la espada, el hambre o la enfermedad. Pero el que salga y se entregue a los caldeos que los cercan seguirá viviendo y salvará su vida.
9 He who remains in this city will die by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence, but he who goes out and passes over to the Chaldeans who besiege you, he will live, and he will escape with his life.
10 Me he vuelto contra esta ciudad para su mal y no para su bien», dice el Señor. «Será entregada al rey de Babilonia, que la quemará.
10 For I have set my face on this city for evil, and not for good,” says Yahweh. “It will be given into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he will burn it with fire.”’
11 Acerca de la familia del rey de Judá: Escuchen la palabra del Señor.
11 “Concerning the house of the king of Judah, hear Yahweh’s word:
12 Familia de David, así dice el Señor: Hagan justicia cada mañana y libren de las manos del opresor a quienes les han quitado sus bienes por la fuerza. De lo contrario, mi ira saldrá como un fuego que nadie podrá apagar, por la maldad de sus acciones.
12 House of David, Yahweh says, ‘Execute justice in the morning, and deliver him who is robbed out of the hand of the oppressor, lest my wrath go out like fire, and burn so that no one can quench it, because of the evil of your doings.
13 Estoy contra ti, que habitas en la roca del valle», dice el Señor. «Ustedes dicen: “¿Quién bajará contra nosotros? ¿Quién entrará en nuestras casas?”.
13 Behold, I am against you, O inhabitant of the valley, and of the rock of the plain,’ says Yahweh. ‘You that say, “Who would come down against us?” or, “Who would enter into our homes?”
14 Los castigaré según el fruto de sus acciones», dice el Señor. «Prenderé un fuego en sus bosques que consumirá todo a su alrededor».
14 I will punish you according to the fruit of your doings,’ says Yahweh; ‘and I will kindle a fire in her forest, and it will devour all that is around her.’”
