1 Sedequías, hijo de Josías, reinó en lugar de Conías, hijo de Joacim. Nabucodonosor, rey de Babilonia, hizo rey a Sedequías en la tierra de Judá.
1 Zedekiah the son of Josiah reigned as king instead of Coniah the son of Jehoiakim, whom Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon made king in the land of Judah.
2 Ni él, ni sus siervos, ni el pueblo del país escucharon las palabras del Señor que él había dado por medio del profeta Jeremías.
2 But neither he, nor his servants, nor the people of the land, listened to Yahweh’s words, which he spoke by the prophet Jeremiah.
3 El rey Sedequías envió a Jucal, hijo de Selemías, y al sacerdote Sofonías, hijo de Maasías, a decir al profeta Jeremías: «Ora por nosotros al Señor nuestro Dios».
3 Zedekiah the king sent Jehucal the son of Shelemiah and Zephaniah the son of Maaseiah, the priest, to the prophet Jeremiah, saying, “Pray now to Yahweh our God for us.”
4 En ese tiempo Jeremías andaba entre el pueblo, pues aún no lo habían encarcelado.
4 Now Jeremiah came in and went out among the people, for they had not put him into prison.
5 El ejército del faraón había salido de Egipto. Al enterarse, los caldeos que atacaban Jerusalén se retiraron de la ciudad.
5 Pharaoh’s army had come out of Egypt; and when the Chaldeans who were besieging Jerusalem heard news of them, they withdrew from Jerusalem.
6 Vino la palabra del Señor al profeta Jeremías:
6 Then Yahweh’s word came to the prophet Jeremiah, saying,
7 El Señor, el Dios de Israel, ha dicho: Digan al rey de Judá, que los envió a consultarme: El ejército del faraón que salió para ayudarlos volverá a su tierra, Egipto.
7 “Yahweh, the God of Israel, says, ‘You shall tell the king of Judah, who sent you to me to inquire of me: “Behold, Pharaoh’s army, which has come out to help you, will return to Egypt into their own land.
8 Los caldeos volverán a luchar contra esta ciudad, la tomarán y la incendiarán.
8 The Chaldeans will come again, and fight against this city. They will take it and burn it with fire.”’
9 Esto ha dicho el Señor: No tengan falsas esperanzas diciendo: «Los caldeos se alejarán de nosotros». No se irán.
9 “Yahweh says, ‘Don’t deceive yourselves, saying, “The Chaldeans will surely depart from us;” for they will not depart.
10 Aunque vencieran a todo el ejército caldeo que lucha contra ustedes y solo quedaran hombres heridos, cada uno se levantaría en su tienda e incendiarían esta ciudad.
10 For though you had struck the whole army of the Chaldeans who fight against you, and only wounded men remained among them, they would each rise up in his tent and burn this city with fire.’”
11 Cuando el ejército caldeo que estaba fuera de Jerusalén se retiró por miedo al ejército del faraón,
11 When the army of the Chaldeans had withdrawn from Jerusalem for fear of Pharaoh’s army,
12 Jeremías salió de Jerusalén para ir a la tierra de Benjamín y recibir allí su herencia entre el pueblo.
12 then Jeremiah went out of Jerusalem to go into the land of Benjamin, to receive his portion there, in the middle of the people.
13 Cuando llegó a la puerta de Benjamín, un capitán de la guardia que estaba allí, llamado Irías, hijo de Selemías, hijo de Hananías, arrestó al profeta Jeremías y dijo: «Te vas a entregar a los caldeos».
13 When he was in Benjamin’s gate, a captain of the guard was there, whose name was Irijah, the son of Shelemiah, the son of Hananiah; and he seized Jeremiah the prophet, saying, “You are defecting to the Chaldeans!”
14 Jeremías respondió: «Eso no es verdad. No voy a los caldeos». Pero Irías no quiso escucharlo; lo hizo prisionero y lo llevó ante los gobernantes.
14 Then Jeremiah said, “That is false! I am not defecting to the Chaldeans.” But he didn’t listen to him; so Irijah seized Jeremiah, and brought him to the princes.
15 Los gobernantes se enojaron con Jeremías, lo golpearon y lo encarcelaron en la casa de Jonatán, el escriba, que habían convertido en prisión.
15 The princes were angry with Jeremiah, and struck him, and put him in prison in the house of Jonathan the scribe; for they had made that the prison.
16 Jeremías fue llevado al hoyo de la prisión, debajo de los arcos, y estuvo allí mucho tiempo.
16 When Jeremiah had come into the dungeon house and into the cells, and Jeremiah had remained there many days,
17 El rey Sedequías mandó sacarlo y le preguntó en secreto en su palacio: «¿Hay alguna palabra del Señor?» Jeremías respondió: «Sí». Y añadió: «Serás entregado al rey de Babilonia».
17 then Zedekiah the king sent and had him brought out. The king asked him secretly in his house, “Is there any word from Yahweh?” Jeremiah said, “There is.” He also said, “You will be delivered into the hand of the king of Babylon.”
18 Jeremías dijo al rey Sedequías: «¿Qué pecado he cometido contra ti, contra tus siervos o contra este pueblo, para que me hayas encarcelado?
18 Moreover Jeremiah said to King Zedekiah, “How have I sinned against you, against your servants, or against this people, that you have put me in prison?
19 ¿Dónde están tus profetas que te decían: “El rey de Babilonia no vendrá contra ti ni contra esta tierra”?
19 Now where are your prophets who prophesied to you, saying, ‘The king of Babylon will not come against you, nor against this land’?
20 Ahora, mi señor el rey, te ruego que me escuches. Acepta mi petición de ayuda y no me hagas volver a la casa de Jonatán, el escriba, pues temo morir allí».
20 Now please hear, my lord the king: please let my supplication be presented before you, that you not cause me to return to the house of Jonathan the scribe, lest I die there.”
21 Por orden del rey Sedequías, Jeremías fue puesto en el lugar de la guardia. Cada día le daban un pan de la calle de los panaderos, hasta que se acabó todo el pan de la ciudad. Así quedó Jeremías en el lugar de la guardia.
21 Then Zedekiah the king commanded, and they committed Jeremiah into the court of the guard. They gave him daily a loaf of bread out of the bakers’ street, until all the bread in the city was gone. Thus Jeremiah remained in the court of the guard.
