1 Huyan de Jerusalén y pónganse a salvo, hijos de Benjamín. Toquen el cuerno en Tecoa y levanten una bandera en Bet-haquerem, porque del norte se acerca una desgracia, una gran destrucción.
1 “Flee for safety, you children of Benjamin, out of the middle of Jerusalem! Blow the trumpet in Tekoa and raise up a signal on Beth Haccherem, for evil looks out from the north with a great destruction.
2 «Voy a destruir a la hermosa y delicada hija de Sión.
2 I will cut off the beautiful and delicate one, the daughter of Zion.
3 Vendrán a ella pastores con sus rebaños; pondrán sus tiendas a su alrededor y cada uno se alimentará en su lugar».
3 Shepherds with their flocks will come to her. They will pitch their tents against her all around. They will feed everyone in his place.”
4 «¡Preparen la guerra contra ella! ¡Vamos, ataquémosla al mediodía! ¡Ay de nosotros! El día se acaba y se alargan las sombras de la tarde.
4 “Prepare war against her! Arise! Let’s go up at noon. Woe to us! For the day declines, for the shadows of the evening are stretched out.
5 ¡Vamos, ataquémosla de noche y destruyamos sus palacios!».
5 Arise! Let’s go up by night, and let’s destroy her palaces.”
6 Así dice el Señor de los ejércitos: «Corten árboles y levanten una rampa de tierra contra Jerusalén. ¡Ay de esa ciudad falsa! En ella no hay más que crueldad.
6 For Yahweh of Armies said, “Cut down trees, and cast up a mound against Jerusalem. This is the city to be visited. She is filled with oppression within herself.
7 Como un manantial mantiene fría su agua, ella mantiene su maldad. Allí se oyen crueldad y violencia; ante mí siempre hay enfermedades y heridas.
7 As a well produces its waters, so she produces her wickedness. Violence and destruction is heard in her. Sickness and wounds are continually before me.
8 Acepta la corrección, Jerusalén, o me apartaré de ti y te dejaré desolada, como una tierra sin habitantes».
8 Be instructed, Jerusalem, lest my soul be alienated from you, lest I make you a desolation, an uninhabited land.”
9 Así dice el Señor de los ejércitos: «A los que queden de Israel les quitarán todo, como se recogen las últimas uvas de una vid. Vuelve a pasar la mano por las ramas pequeñas, como quien recoge uvas».
9 Yahweh of Armies says, “They will thoroughly glean the remnant of Israel like a vine. Turn again your hand as a grape gatherer into the baskets.”
10 ¿A quién hablaré y advertiré para que escuche? Tienen los oídos cerrados y no pueden prestar atención. La palabra del Señor les causa vergüenza y no encuentran placer en ella.
10 To whom should I speak and testify, that they may hear? Behold, their ear is uncircumcised, and they can’t listen. Behold, Yahweh’s word has become a reproach to them. They have no delight in it.
11 Estoy lleno de la ira del Señor y cansado de contenerla. Que se derrame sobre los niños en la calle y sobre los grupos de jóvenes. Serán apresados el marido con su esposa, el anciano con el que está muy avanzado en años.
11 Therefore I am full of Yahweh’s wrath. I am weary with holding it in. “Pour it out on the children in the street, and on the assembly of young men together; for even the husband with the wife will be taken, the aged with him who is full of days.
12 «Sus casas, sus campos y sus esposas serán entregados a otros, porque extenderé mi mano contra los habitantes de esta tierra», dice el Señor.
12 Their houses will be turned to others, their fields and their wives together; for I will stretch out my hand on the inhabitants of the land, says Yahweh.”
13 «Desde el menor hasta el mayor, todos buscan enriquecerse; desde el profeta hasta el sacerdote, todos practican el engaño.
13 “For from their least even to their greatest, everyone is given to covetousness. From the prophet even to the priest, everyone deals falsely.
14 No dan importancia a las heridas de mi pueblo. Dicen: “¡Paz, paz!”, cuando no hay paz.
14 They have healed also the hurt of my people superficially, saying, ‘Peace, peace!’ when there is no peace.
15 Que sientan vergüenza por sus acciones repugnantes. Pero no sienten vergüenza ni saben sonrojarse. Por eso caerán con los que caen; cuando los castigue, serán humillados», dice el Señor.
15 Were they ashamed when they had committed abomination? No, they were not at all ashamed, neither could they blush. Therefore they will fall among those who fall. When I visit them, they will be cast down,” says Yahweh.
16 Así dice el Señor: «Deténganse y observen los caminos. Busquen las sendas antiguas y pregunten dónde está el buen camino. Síganlo y encontrarán descanso para su alma». Pero dijeron: «No lo seguiremos».
16 Yahweh says, “Stand in the ways and see, and ask for the old paths, ‘Where is the good way?’ and walk in it, and you will find rest for your souls. But they said, ‘We will not walk in it.’
17 «Puse vigilantes sobre ustedes y les dije: “Presten atención al sonido del cuerno”. Pero dijeron: “No prestaremos atención”.
17 I set watchmen over you, saying, ‘Listen to the sound of the trumpet!’ But they said, ‘We will not listen!’
18 Por eso, escuchen, naciones; asamblea, conoce lo que ocurre entre ellos.
18 Therefore hear, you nations, and know, congregation, what is among them.
19 Escucha, tierra: voy a traer una desgracia sobre este pueblo, el fruto de sus pensamientos, porque no escucharon mis palabras y rechazaron mi ley.
19 Hear, earth! Behold, I will bring evil on this people, even the fruit of their thoughts, because they have not listened to my words; and as for my law, they have rejected it.
20 ¿De qué me sirve el incienso que viene de Sabá y las especias de una tierra lejana? Sus holocaustos no me agradan ni me complacen sus sacrificios de animales».
20 To what purpose does frankincense from Sheba come to me, and the sweet cane from a far country? Your burnt offerings are not acceptable, and your sacrifices are not pleasing to me.”
21 Por eso dice el Señor: «Voy a poner piedras en el camino de este pueblo. Padres e hijos tropezarán juntos con ellas; el vecino y su amigo serán destruidos».
21 Therefore Yahweh says, “Behold, I will lay stumbling blocks before this people. The fathers and the sons together will stumble against them. The neighbor and his friend will perish.”
22 Así dice el Señor: «Viene un pueblo de la tierra del norte; una gran nación se pone en marcha desde los confines de la tierra.
22 Yahweh says, “Behold, a people comes from the north country. A great nation will be stirred up from the uttermost parts of the earth.
23 Llevan arcos y lanzas; son crueles y no tienen piedad. Su voz ruge como el mar. Vienen a caballo, cada uno en su puesto, como guerreros listos para luchar contra ti, hija de Sión».
23 They take hold of bow and spear. They are cruel, and have no mercy. Their voice roars like the sea, and they ride on horses, everyone set in array, as a man to the battle, against you, daughter of Zion.”
24 Hemos oído la noticia y nuestras manos han perdido las fuerzas. Nos invaden la angustia y el dolor, como a una mujer que da a luz.
24 We have heard its report. Our hands become feeble. Anguish has taken hold of us, and pains as of a woman in labor.
25 No salgan al campo ni al camino, porque allí está la espada del atacante y hay terror por todas partes.
25 Don’t go out into the field or walk by the way; for the sword of the enemy and terror are on every side.
26 Hija de mi pueblo, vístete de tela áspera y revuélcate en el polvo. Llora como por un hijo único, con amargos gritos de dolor, porque el destructor vendrá de repente contra nosotros.
26 Daughter of my people, clothe yourself with sackcloth, and wallow in ashes! Mourn, as for an only son, most bitter lamentation, for the destroyer will suddenly come on us.
27 «Te he puesto como examinador entre mi pueblo para que conozcas su conducta y la pongas a prueba.
27 “I have made you a tester of metals and a fortress among my people, that you may know and try their way.
28 Todos se han apartado de mí y van de un lado a otro contando mentiras. Son bronce y hierro; todos practican el engaño.
28 They are all grievous rebels, going around to slander. They are bronze and iron. All of them deal corruptly.
29 El fuelle sopla con fuerza y el plomo se consume en el fuego. En vano siguen calentando el metal, porque no logran separar a los malvados.
29 The bellows blow fiercely. The lead is consumed in the fire. In vain they go on refining, for the wicked are not plucked away.
30 Los llamarán plata de desecho, porque el Señor los ha rechazado».
30 Men will call them rejected silver, because Yahweh has rejected them.”

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).
Your whole burnt-offerings and sacrifices are not acceptable to Me;" He proceeds: "Hear the word of the Lord, all Judah.
