1 La palabra que el Señor dijo acerca de Babilonia, de la tierra de los caldeos, por medio del profeta Jeremías.
1 The word that Yahweh spoke concerning Babylon, concerning the land of the Chaldeans, by Jeremiah the prophet.
2 Anúncienla entre las naciones, háganla pública y levanten la bandera. Den la noticia sin ocultar nada. Digan: «Babilonia ha sido tomada. Bel ha sido avergonzado y Merodac ha sido quebrado. Sus imágenes han sido avergonzadas y sus dioses han sido quebrados».
2 “Declare among the nations and publish, and set up a standard; publish, and don’t conceal; say, ‘Babylon has been taken, Bel is disappointed, Merodach is dismayed! Her images are disappointed. Her idols are dismayed.’
3 Una nación del norte sube contra ella y dejará su tierra desolada y sin habitantes. Huyen; se van los seres humanos y los animales.
3 For a nation comes up out of the north against her, which will make her land desolate, and no one will dwell in it. They have fled. They are gone, both man and animal.
4 En esos días y en ese tiempo, dice el Señor, los israelitas y los de Judá vendrán juntos. Irán llorando por el camino y orando al Señor su Dios.
4 “In those days, and in that time,” says Yahweh, “the children of Israel will come, they and the children of Judah together; they will go on their way weeping, and will seek Yahweh their God.
5 Preguntarán por el camino a Sión y se dirigirán hacia ella. Dirán: «Vengan, unámonos al Señor con un pacto eterno que nunca se olvidará».
5 They will inquire concerning Zion with their faces turned toward it, saying, ‘Come, and join yourselves to Yahweh in an everlasting covenant that will not be forgotten.’
6 Mi pueblo ha sido un rebaño de ovejas errantes. Sus pastores las desviaron del buen camino y las dejaron sueltas en las montañas. Fueron de montaña en colina y olvidaron su lugar de descanso.
6 My people have been lost sheep. Their shepherds have caused them to go astray. They have turned them away on the mountains. They have gone from mountain to hill. They have forgotten their resting place.
7 Todos los que las encontraron las atacaron. Sus atacantes dijeron: «No hacemos nada malo, porque ellas pecaron contra el Señor, en quien está la justicia, contra el Señor, la esperanza de sus antepasados».
7 All who found them have devoured them. Their adversaries said, ‘We are not guilty, because they have sinned against Yahweh, the habitation of righteousness, even Yahweh, the hope of their fathers.’
8 Huyan de Babilonia y salgan de la tierra de los caldeos. Sean como los machos cabríos que van delante de los rebaños.
8 “Flee out of the middle of Babylon! Go out of the land of the Chaldeans, and be as the male goats before the flocks.
9 Estoy movilizando y enviando contra Babilonia un grupo de grandes naciones de la tierra del norte. Pondrán sus ejércitos en posición contra ella y desde allí la tomarán. Sus flechas serán como las de un guerrero experto; ninguna dejará de dar en el blanco.
9 For, behold, I will stir up and cause to come up against Babylon a company of great nations from the north country; and they will set themselves in array against her. She will be taken from there. Their arrows will be as of an expert mighty man. None of them will return in vain.
10 Las riquezas de Caldea caerán en manos de sus atacantes. Todos los que las tomen tendrán suficiente, dice el Señor.
10 Chaldea will be a prey. All who prey on her will be satisfied,” says Yahweh.
11 Ustedes que destruyen mi herencia se alegran y se llenan de orgullo. Juegan como una ternera suelta en el pasto y relinchan como caballos fuertes.
11 “Because you are glad, because you rejoice, O you who plunder my heritage, because you are wanton as a heifer that treads out the grain, and neigh as strong horses,
12 Su madre será avergonzada y despreciarán a la que los dio a luz. Será la última de las naciones: un lugar desolado, una tierra seca y sin agua.
12 your mother will be utterly disappointed. She who bore you will be confounded. Behold, she will be the least of the nations, a wilderness, a dry land, and a desert.
13 Por la ira del Señor, nadie vivirá allí y quedará completamente despoblada. Todos los que pasen por Babilonia se asombrarán y harán sonidos de miedo por todos sus castigos.
13 Because of Yahweh’s wrath she won’t be inhabited, but she will be wholly desolate. Everyone who goes by Babylon will be astonished, and hiss at all her plagues.
14 Todos ustedes, arqueros, pongan sus ejércitos en posición alrededor de Babilonia. Disparen sus flechas contra ella sin guardar ninguna, porque ha pecado contra el Señor.
14 Set yourselves in array against Babylon all around, all you who bend the bow; shoot at her. Spare no arrows, for she has sinned against Yahweh.
15 Griten contra ella por todos lados. Se ha rendido; sus apoyos han caído y sus muros han sido derribados. Es el castigo que hace pagar el Señor. Háganle pagar; hagan con ella lo que ella hizo.
15 Shout against her all around. She has submitted herself. Her bulwarks have fallen. Her walls have been thrown down, for it is the vengeance of Yahweh. Take vengeance on her. As she has done, do to her.
16 Acaben con los sembradores de Babilonia y con todos los que usan la hoz en la cosecha. Por miedo a la espada cruel, cada uno volverá a su pueblo y huirá a su tierra.
16 Cut off the sower from Babylon, and him who handles the sickle in the time of harvest. For fear of the oppressing sword, they will each return to their own people, and they will each flee to their own land.
17 Israel es una oveja errante a la que han ahuyentado los leones. Primero la atacó el rey de Asiria; ahora Nabucodonosor, rey de Babilonia, le ha quebrado los huesos.
17 “Israel is a hunted sheep. The lions have driven him away. First, the king of Assyria devoured him, and now at last Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon has broken his bones.”
18 Por eso ha dicho el Señor de los ejércitos, el Dios de Israel: Castigaré al rey de Babilonia y a su tierra como castigué al rey de Asiria.
18 Therefore Yahweh of Armies, the God of Israel, says: “Behold, I will punish the king of Babylon and his land, as I have punished the king of Assyria.
19 Haré volver a Israel a su lugar de descanso. Se alimentará en el Carmelo y en Basán, y quedará satisfecho en las colinas de Efraín y en Galaad.
19 I will bring Israel again to his pasture, and he will feed on Carmel and Bashan. His soul will be satisfied on the hills of Ephraim and in Gilead.
20 En esos días y en ese tiempo, dice el Señor, buscarán la maldad de Israel y no encontrarán nada. En Judá no se verán pecados, porque perdonaré a los que mantenga a salvo.
20 In those days, and in that time,” says Yahweh, “the iniquity of Israel will be sought for, and there will be none, also the sins of Judah, and they won’t be found; for I will pardon them whom I leave as a remnant.
21 Sube contra la tierra de Merataim y contra los habitantes de Pecod. Mátalos y destrúyelos, dice el Señor. Haz todo lo que te he ordenado.
21 “Go up against the land of Merathaim, even against it, and against the inhabitants of Pekod. Kill and utterly destroy after them,” says Yahweh, “and do according to all that I have commanded you.
22 Se oye guerra en la tierra y gran destrucción.
22 A sound of battle is in the land, and of great destruction.
23 ¡Cómo ha sido cortado en dos y quebrado el martillo de toda la tierra! ¡Cómo ha quedado desolada Babilonia entre las naciones!
23 How the hammer of the whole earth is cut apart and broken! How Babylon has become a desolation among the nations!
24 Te puse una red y has sido atrapada sin saberlo, Babilonia. Te descubrieron y capturaron porque luchabas contra el Señor.
24 I have laid a snare for you, and you are also taken, Babylon, and you weren’t aware. You are found, and also caught, because you have fought against Yahweh.
25 El Señor ha sacado de su almacén los instrumentos de su ira. El Señor, el Señor de los ejércitos, tiene una obra que hacer en la tierra de los caldeos.
25 Yahweh has opened his armory, and has brought out the weapons of his indignation; for the Lord, Yahweh of Armies, has a work to do in the land of the Chaldeans.
26 Suban todos contra ella y abran por la fuerza sus almacenes. Conviértanla en un montón de piedras y destrúyanla por completo, hasta que no quede nada de ella.
26 Come against her from the farthest border. Open her storehouses. Cast her up as heaps. Destroy her utterly. Let nothing of her be left.
27 Maten a espada a todos sus bueyes. Que desciendan a la muerte. ¡Ay de ellos! Ha llegado su día, el tiempo de su castigo.
27 Kill all her bulls. Let them go down to the slaughter. Woe to them! For their day has come, the time of their visitation.
28 Se oye la voz de los que huyen, de los que han escapado de Babilonia, para anunciar en Sión el castigo del Señor nuestro Dios, el pago por su templo.
28 Listen to those who flee and escape out of the land of Babylon, to declare in Zion the vengeance of Yahweh our God, the vengeance of his temple.
29 Llamen a todos los arqueros para que se reúnan contra Babilonia. Acampen contra ella por todos lados y no dejen escapar a nadie. Háganle pagar por sus acciones; hagan con ella lo que ella hizo, porque se ha enorgullecido contra el Señor, contra el Santo de Israel.
29 “Call together the archers against Babylon, all those who bend the bow. Encamp against her all around. Let none of it escape. Pay her back according to her work. According to all that she has done, do to her; for she has been proud against Yahweh, against the Holy One of Israel.
30 Por eso sus jóvenes caerán en sus calles y todos sus guerreros morirán ese día, dice el Señor.
30 Therefore her young men will fall in her streets. All her men of war will be brought to silence in that day,” says Yahweh.
31 Estoy contra ti, Orgullo, dice el Señor, el Señor de los ejércitos. Ha llegado tu día, el tiempo en que te castigaré.
31 “Behold, I am against you, you proud one,” says the Lord, Yahweh of Armies; “for your day has come, the time that I will visit you.
32 El Orgullo tropezará y caerá, y nadie lo ayudará. Incendiaré sus ciudades y quemaré todo lo que lo rodea.
32 The proud one will stumble and fall, and no one will raise him up. I will kindle a fire in his cities, and it will devour all who are around him.”
33 Esto ha dicho el Señor de los ejércitos: Los israelitas y los de Judá están oprimidos juntos. Todos los que los hicieron prisioneros los sujetan con fuerza y no los dejan ir.
33 Yahweh of Armies says: “The children of Israel and the children of Judah are oppressed together. All who took them captive hold them fast. They refuse to let them go.
34 Su salvador es fuerte; su nombre es el Señor de los ejércitos. Sin duda defenderá su causa para dar descanso a la tierra y angustia a los habitantes de Babilonia.
34 Their Redeemer is strong. Yahweh of Armies is his name. He will thoroughly plead their cause, that he may give rest to the earth, and disquiet the inhabitants of Babylon.
35 Hay una espada contra los caldeos, dice el Señor, contra los habitantes de Babilonia, sus gobernantes y sus sabios.
35 “A sword is on the Chaldeans,” says Yahweh, “and on the inhabitants of Babylon, on her princes, and on her wise men.
36 Hay una espada contra los orgullosos y se volverán necios; una espada contra sus guerreros y serán quebrantados.
36 A sword is on the boasters, and they will become fools. A sword is on her mighty men, and they will be dismayed.
37 Hay una espada contra toda la población de distintos orígenes que hay en ella, y serán como mujeres; una espada contra sus almacenes, y sus atacantes los tomarán.
37 A sword is on their horses, on their chariots, and on all the mixed people who are in the middle of her; and they will become as women. A sword is on her treasures, and they will be robbed.
38 Hay una espada contra sus aguas y las secará. Es una tierra de imágenes, y sus pensamientos están puestos en dioses falsos.
38 A drought is on her waters, and they will be dried up; for it is a land of engraved images, and they are mad over idols.
39 Por eso los animales del desierto y los lobos harán allí sus guaridas, y los avestruces vivirán allí. Nunca más vivirán seres humanos; quedará despoblada de generación en generación.
39 Therefore the wild animals of the desert with the wolves will dwell there. The ostriches will dwell therein. It will be inhabited no more forever, neither will it be lived in from generation to generation.
40 Como cuando Dios destruyó Sodoma, Gomorra y sus ciudades vecinas, dice el Señor, nadie vivirá allí ni tendrá un lugar de descanso.
40 As when God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah and its neighbor cities,” says Yahweh, “so no man will dwell there, neither will any son of man live therein.
41 Viene un pueblo del norte. Una gran nación y muchos reyes serán movilizados desde los lugares más lejanos de la tierra.
41 “Behold, a people comes from the north. A great nation and many kings will be stirred up from the uttermost parts of the earth.
42 Llevan arcos y lanzas. Son crueles y no tienen misericordia. Su voz es como el estruendo del mar y montan a caballo. Cada uno ocupa su puesto como guerreros que van a luchar contra ti, hija de Babilonia.
42 They take up bow and spear. They are cruel, and have no mercy. Their voice roars like the sea. They ride on horses, everyone set in array, as a man to the battle, against you, daughter of Babylon.
43 El rey de Babilonia ha oído noticias de ellos y sus manos se han debilitado. Le han llegado angustia y dolor, como a una mujer que da a luz.
43 The king of Babylon has heard the news of them, and his hands become feeble. Anguish has taken hold of him, pains as of a woman in labor.
44 Subirá como un león de los matorrales del Jordán contra el lugar de descanso de Temán. Pero de pronto los haré huir de ella y pondré sobre ella al hombre que yo escoja. ¿Quién es como yo? ¿Quién presentará su causa contra mí? ¿Qué pastor podrá mantenerse en pie ante mí?
44 Behold, the enemy will come up like a lion from the thickets of the Jordan against the strong habitation; for I will suddenly make them run away from it. Whoever is chosen, I will appoint him over it, for who is like me? Who will appoint me a time? Who is the shepherd who can stand before me?”
45 Escuchen la decisión del Señor contra Babilonia y sus propósitos contra la tierra de los caldeos. Los más pequeños del rebaño los arrastrarán. Él dejará sus campos desolados junto con ellos.
45 Therefore hear the counsel of Yahweh that he has taken against Babylon; and his purposes that he has purposed against the land of the Chaldeans: Surely they will drag them away, even the little ones of the flock. Surely he will make their habitation desolate over them.
46 Al grito de «¡Babilonia ha sido tomada!», la tierra tiembla y las naciones oyen el clamor.
46 The earth trembles at the noise of the taking of Babylon. The cry is heard among the nations.

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).
I am to speak against persons who pride themselves on their eloquence; so, to begin with a text of Scripture, "Behold, I am against thee, O thou proud one," not only in thy system of teaching, but also in thy hearing, and in thy tone of mind.
