1 Estas son las palabras de la carta que el profeta Jeremías envió desde Jerusalén a los hombres responsables de los desterrados, a los sacerdotes, a los profetas y a todo el resto del pueblo que Nabucodonosor había llevado prisionero de Jerusalén a Babilonia.
1 Now these are the words of the letter that Jeremiah the prophet sent from Jerusalem to the residue of the elders of the captivity, and to the priests, to the prophets, and to all the people whom Nebuchadnezzar had carried away captive from Jerusalem to Babylon,
2 Esto fue después de que el rey Jeconías, la reina madre, los eunucos, los gobernantes de Judá y Jerusalén, los artesanos y los trabajadores del metal salieron de Jerusalén.
2 (after Jeconiah the king, the queen mother, the eunuchs, the princes of Judah and Jerusalem, the craftsmen, and the smiths had departed from Jerusalem),
3 La carta fue llevada por Elasa, hijo de Safán, y Gemarías, hijo de Hilcías, a quienes Sedequías, rey de Judá, había enviado a Babilonia, a Nabucodonosor, rey de Babilonia. Decía:
3 by the hand of Elasah the son of Shaphan and Gemariah the son of Hilkiah, (whom Zedekiah king of Judah sent to Babylon to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon). It said:
4 Esto ha dicho el Señor de los ejércitos, el Dios de Israel, a todos los que he llevado prisioneros de Jerusalén a Babilonia:
4 Yahweh of Armies, the God of Israel, says to all the captives whom I have caused to be carried away captive from Jerusalem to Babylon:
5 Sigan construyendo casas y viviendo en ellas. Planten huertos y aprovechen sus frutos.
5 “Build houses and dwell in them. Plant gardens and eat their fruit.
6 Tomen esposas y tengan hijos e hijas. Busquen esposas para sus hijos y den a sus hijas en matrimonio, para que tengan hijos e hijas. Aumenten allí en número, y no disminuyan.
6 Take wives and father sons and daughters. Take wives for your sons, and give your daughters to husbands, that they may bear sons and daughters. Multiply there, and don’t be diminished.
7 Trabajen por la paz de la tierra a la que los he llevado prisioneros, y oren al Señor por ella, porque en su paz ustedes tendrán paz.
7 Seek the peace of the city where I have caused you to be carried away captive, and pray to Yahweh for it; for in its peace you will have peace.”
8 Pues esto ha dicho el Señor de los ejércitos, el Dios de Israel: No se dejen engañar por los profetas que están entre ustedes ni por los que interpretan señales. No presten atención a los sueños que ellos tengan.
8 For Yahweh of Armies, the God of Israel says: “Don’t let your prophets who are among you and your diviners deceive you. Don’t listen to your dreams which you cause to be dreamed.
9 Les dicen mentiras en mi nombre. Yo no los envié, dice el Señor.
9 For they prophesy falsely to you in my name. I have not sent them,” says Yahweh.
10 Esto ha dicho el Señor: Cuando se cumplan setenta años para Babilonia, tendré compasión de ustedes y cumpliré mi buen propósito para ustedes, haciéndolos volver a este lugar.
10 For Yahweh says, “After seventy years are accomplished for Babylon, I will visit you and perform my good word toward you, in causing you to return to this place.
11 Yo conozco mis pensamientos acerca de ustedes, dice el Señor. Son pensamientos de paz y no de desgracia, para darles esperanza al final.
11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you,” says Yahweh, “thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you hope and a future.
12 Seguirán clamando a mí y orando a mí, y yo los escucharé.
12 You shall call on me, and you shall go and pray to me, and I will listen to you.
13 Me buscarán y yo estaré allí, cuando me busquen con todo su corazón.
13 You shall seek me and find me, when you search for me with all your heart.
14 Volveré a estar cerca de ustedes, dice el Señor, y cambiaré su destino. Los reuniré de todas las naciones y de todos los lugares a donde los expulsé, dice el Señor, y los haré volver al lugar de donde los llevé prisioneros.
14 I will be found by you,” says Yahweh, “and I will turn again your captivity, and I will gather you from all the nations, and from all the places where I have driven you,” says Yahweh. “I will bring you again to the place from where I caused you to be carried away captive.”
15 Ustedes han dicho: «El Señor nos ha dado profetas en Babilonia».
15 Because you have said, “Yahweh has raised us up prophets in Babylon,”
16 Pues esto ha dicho el Señor acerca del rey que ocupa el trono del reino de David y de todos los que viven en esta ciudad, sus compatriotas que no salieron prisioneros con ustedes:
16 Yahweh says concerning the king who sits on David’s throne, and concerning all the people who dwell in this city, your brothers who haven’t gone with you into captivity,
17 Esto ha dicho el Señor de los ejércitos: Les enviaré la espada, el hambre y la enfermedad. Los haré como higos tan malos que no sirven para comer.
17 Yahweh of Armies says: “Behold, I will send on them the sword, the famine, and the pestilence, and will make them like rotten figs that can’t be eaten, they are so bad.
18 Los perseguiré con la espada, el hambre y la enfermedad. Haré que causen miedo a todos los reinos de la tierra; serán una maldición, un motivo de asombro, de sorpresa y de vergüenza entre todas las naciones a las que los expulse.
18 I will pursue after them with the sword, with the famine, and with the pestilence, and will deliver them to be tossed back and forth among all the kingdoms of the earth, to be an object of horror, an astonishment, a hissing, and a reproach among all the nations where I have driven them,
19 Porque no escucharon mis palabras, dice el Señor, cuando les envié a mis siervos los profetas una y otra vez. Pero ustedes no escucharon, dice el Señor.
19 because they have not listened to my words,” says Yahweh, “with which I sent to them my servants the prophets, rising up early and sending them; but you would not hear,” says Yahweh.
20 Ahora escuchen la palabra del Señor, todos los que he llevado prisioneros de Jerusalén a Babilonia.
20 Hear therefore Yahweh’s word, all you captives whom I have sent away from Jerusalem to Babylon.
21 Esto ha dicho el Señor de los ejércitos, el Dios de Israel, acerca de Acab, hijo de Colaías, y de Sedequías, hijo de Maasías, que les dicen mentiras en mi nombre: Los entregaré a Nabucodonosor, rey de Babilonia, y él los matará ante sus ojos.
21 Yahweh of Armies, the God of Israel, says concerning Ahab the son of Kolaiah, and concerning Zedekiah the son of Maaseiah, who prophesy a lie to you in my name: “Behold, I will deliver them into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon; and he will kill them before your eyes.
22 Todos los prisioneros de Judá que están en Babilonia usarán su destino como maldición. Dirán: «Que el Señor te haga como Sedequías y Acab, a quienes el rey de Babilonia quemó en el fuego».
22 A curse will be taken up about them by all the captives of Judah who are in Babylon, saying, ‘Yahweh make you like Zedekiah and like Ahab, whom the king of Babylon roasted in the fire;’
23 Porque han cometido actos vergonzosos en Israel, han tomado a las esposas de sus vecinos y han dicho en mi nombre mentiras que yo no les ordené decir. Yo mismo soy testigo, dice el Señor.
23 because they have done foolish things in Israel, and have committed adultery with their neighbors’ wives, and have spoken words in my name falsely, which I didn’t command them. I am he who knows, and am witness,” says Yahweh.
24 Acerca de Semaías de Nehelam.
24 Concerning Shemaiah the Nehelamite you shall speak, saying,
25 Semaías de Nehelam envió una carta en su propio nombre al sacerdote Sofonías, hijo de Maasías. Decía:
25 “Yahweh of Armies, the God of Israel, says, ‘Because you have sent letters in your own name to all the people who are at Jerusalem, and to Zephaniah the son of Maaseiah, the priest, and to all the priests, saying,
26 «El Señor te ha hecho sacerdote en lugar del sacerdote Joiada, para que vigiles en el templo del Señor a todo hombre que esté loco y actúe como profeta, y lo pongas en prisión y en cadenas.
26 “Yahweh has made you priest in the place of Jehoiada the priest, that there may be officers in Yahweh’s house, for every man who is crazy and makes himself a prophet, that you should put him in the stocks and in shackles.
27 ¿Por qué no has reprendido a Jeremías de Anatot, que actúa como profeta ante ustedes?
27 Now therefore, why have you not rebuked Jeremiah of Anathoth, who makes himself a prophet to you,
28 Él nos ha enviado un mensaje a Babilonia que dice: “Pasará mucho tiempo. Sigan construyendo casas y viviendo en ellas. Planten huertos y aprovechen sus frutos”».
28 because he has sent to us in Babylon, saying, The captivity is long. Build houses, and dwell in them. Plant gardens, and eat their fruit?”’”
29 El sacerdote Sofonías leyó la carta al profeta Jeremías y le explicó lo que decía.
29 Zephaniah the priest read this letter in the hearing of Jeremiah the prophet.
30 Entonces vino la palabra del Señor al profeta Jeremías:
30 Then Yahweh’s word came to Jeremiah, saying,
31 Envía este mensaje a todos los desterrados: Esto ha dicho el Señor acerca de Semaías de Nehelam: Semaías ha actuado como profeta ante ustedes sin que yo lo enviara, y les ha hecho confiar en mentiras.
31 “Send to all of the captives, saying, ‘Yahweh says concerning Shemaiah the Nehelamite: “Because Shemaiah has prophesied to you, and I didn’t send him, and he has caused you to trust in a lie,”
32 Por eso ha dicho el Señor: Castigaré a Semaías y a sus descendientes. Ningún hombre de su familia tendrá lugar entre este pueblo, y él no verá el bien que voy a hacer a mi pueblo, dice el Señor, porque ha hablado contra el Señor.
32 therefore Yahweh says, “Behold, I will punish Shemaiah the Nehelamite and his offspring. He will not have a man to dwell among this people. He won’t see the good that I will do to my people,” says Yahweh, “because he has spoken rebellion against Yahweh.”’”

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
… when predicting the captivity that was to befall the ancient people of God, and giving them the divine command to go obediently to Babylonia, and thus serve their God, counselled them also to pray for Babylonia, saying, "In the peace thereof shall ye have peace," --the temporal peace which the good and the wicked together enjoy.
