1 Se acercaron todos los capitanes de las tropas, Johanán, hijo de Carea, Jezanías, hijo de Osaías, y todo el pueblo, desde el más pequeño hasta el más grande.
1 Then all the captains of the forces, and Johanan the son of Kareah, and Jezaniah the son of Hoshaiah, and all the people from the least even to the greatest, came near,
2 Dijeron al profeta Jeremías: «Acepta nuestra petición y ora por nosotros al Señor tu Dios, por este pequeño grupo. Éramos muchos y quedamos pocos, como tú mismo puedes ver.
2 and said to Jeremiah the prophet, “Please let our supplication be presented before you, and pray for us to Yahweh your God, even for all this remnant, for we are left but a few of many, as your eyes see us,
3 Que el Señor tu Dios nos muestre el camino que debemos seguir y lo que debemos hacer».
3 that Yahweh your God may show us the way in which we should walk, and the things that we should do.”
4 El profeta Jeremías respondió: «Los he escuchado. Oraré al Señor su Dios como han pedido. Les diré todo lo que el Señor les responda, sin ocultar nada».
4 Then Jeremiah the prophet said to them, “I have heard you. Behold, I will pray to Yahweh your God according to your words; and it will happen that whatever thing Yahweh answers you, I will declare it to you. I will keep nothing back from you.”
5 Dijeron a Jeremías: «Que el Señor sea un testigo fiel y verdadero contra nosotros si no hacemos todo lo que el Señor tu Dios te envíe a decirnos.
5 Then they said to Jeremiah, “May Yahweh be a true and faithful witness among us, if we don’t do according to all the word with which Yahweh your God sends you to tell us.
6 Sea bueno o malo, obedeceremos la voz del Señor nuestro Dios, a quien te enviamos. Así nos irá bien al escuchar la voz del Señor nuestro Dios».
6 Whether it is good, or whether it is bad, we will obey the voice of Yahweh our God, to whom we send you; that it may be well with us, when we obey the voice of Yahweh our God.”
7 Después de diez días vino la palabra del Señor a Jeremías.
7 After ten days, Yahweh’s word came to Jeremiah.
8 Él llamó a Johanán, hijo de Carea, a todos los capitanes de las tropas que seguían con él y a todo el pueblo, desde el más pequeño hasta el más grande.
8 Then he called Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces who were with him, and all the people from the least even to the greatest,
9 Les dijo: «Estas son las palabras del Señor, el Dios de Israel, a quien me enviaron para presentar su petición:
9 and said to them, “Yahweh, the God of Israel, to whom you sent me to present your supplication before him, says:
10 Si siguen viviendo en esta tierra, los edificaré y no los derribaré; los plantaré y no los arrancaré. He cambiado mi decisión de enviarles desgracias.
10 ‘If you will still live in this land, then I will build you, and not pull you down, and I will plant you, and not pluck you up; for I grieve over the distress that I have brought on you.
11 No teman al rey de Babilonia, a quien ahora temen. No le tengan miedo, dice el Señor, porque yo estoy con ustedes para protegerlos y salvarlos de sus manos.
11 Don’t be afraid of the king of Babylon, of whom you are afraid. Don’t be afraid of him,’ says Yahweh, ‘for I am with you to save you, and to deliver you from his hand.
12 Tendré misericordia de ustedes, para que él tenga misericordia de ustedes y los deje volver a su tierra.
12 I will grant you mercy, that he may have mercy on you, and cause you to return to your own land.
13 Pero si dicen: “No queremos seguir viviendo en esta tierra”, y no escuchan la voz del Señor su Dios,
13 “‘But if you say, “We will not dwell in this land,” so that you don’t obey Yahweh your God’s voice,
14 si dicen: “Iremos a Egipto, donde no veremos guerra, no oiremos el cuerno de guerra ni pasaremos hambre. Allí viviremos”,
14 saying, “No, but we will go into the land of Egypt, where we will see no war, nor hear the sound of the trumpet, nor have hunger of bread; and there we will dwell;”’
15 entonces escuchen la palabra del Señor, ustedes que quedan de Judá. El Señor de los ejércitos, el Dios de Israel, ha dicho: Si están decididos a ir a Egipto y quedarse allí,
15 now therefore hear Yahweh’s word, O remnant of Judah! Yahweh of Armies, the God of Israel, says, ‘If you indeed set your faces to enter into Egypt, and go to live there,
16 la espada que temen los alcanzará en Egipto y el hambre que temen los perseguirá allí. Allí morirán.
16 then it will happen that the sword, which you fear, will overtake you there in the land of Egypt; and the famine, about which you are afraid, will follow close behind you there in Egypt; and you will die there.
17 Ese será el destino de todos los que estén decididos a ir a Egipto y quedarse allí. Morirán por la espada, el hambre y la enfermedad. Ninguno sobrevivirá ni escapará de las desgracias que les enviaré.
17 So will it be with all the men who set their faces to go into Egypt to live there. They will die by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence. None of them will remain or escape from the evil that I will bring on them.’
18 Esto ha dicho el Señor de los ejércitos, el Dios de Israel: Así como desaté mi ira y mi enojo sobre los habitantes de Jerusalén, desataré mi enojo sobre ustedes cuando vayan a Egipto. Serán usados en juramentos, causarán asombro y serán una maldición y un nombre de vergüenza. Nunca volverán a ver este lugar».
18 For Yahweh of Armies, the God of Israel, says: ‘As my anger and my wrath has been poured out on the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so my wrath will be poured out on you, when you enter into Egypt; and you will be an object of horror, an astonishment, a curse, and a reproach; and you will see this place no more.’
19 El Señor les ha dicho, ustedes que quedan de Judá: No vayan a Egipto. Sepan bien que hoy les he dado esta advertencia.
19 “Yahweh has spoken concerning you, remnant of Judah, ‘Don’t go into Egypt!’ Know certainly that I have testified to you today.
20 Han actuado con engaño en sus corazones. Me enviaron al Señor su Dios y dijeron: «Ora por nosotros al Señor nuestro Dios. Dinos todo lo que diga y lo haremos».
20 For you have dealt deceitfully against your own souls; for you sent me to Yahweh your God, saying, ‘Pray for us to Yahweh our God; and according to all that Yahweh our God says, so declare to us, and we will do it.’
21 Hoy se lo he dicho, pero ustedes no han escuchado la voz del Señor su Dios en nada de lo que me envió a decirles.
21 I have declared it to you today; but you have not obeyed Yahweh your God’s voice in anything for which he has sent me to you.
22 Ahora sepan bien que morirán por la espada, el hambre y la enfermedad en el lugar donde desean ir a vivir.
22 Now therefore know certainly that you will die by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence in the place where you desire to go to live.”
