1 This is the word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD in the tenth year of Zedekiah king of Judah, which was the eighteenth year of Nebuchadnezzar.
1 PALABRA que fué á Jeremías, de Jehová el año décimo de Sedechîas rey de Judá, que fué el año décimo octavo de Nabucodonosor.
2 At that time the army of the king of Babylon was besieging Jerusalem, and Jeremiah the prophet was imprisoned in the courtyard of the guard, which was in the palace of the king of Judah.
2 Y entonces el ejército del rey de Babilonia tenía cercada á Jerusalem; y el profeta Jeremías estaba preso en el patio de la cárcel que estaba en la casa del rey de Judá.
3 For Zedekiah king of Judah had imprisoned him, saying: “Why are you prophesying like this? You claim that the LORD says, ‘Behold, I am about to deliver this city into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he will capture it.
3 Pues Sedechîas rey de Judá lo había preso, diciendo: ¿Por qué profetizas tú diciendo: Así ha dicho Jehová: He aquí yo entrego esta ciudad en mano del rey de Babilonia, y tomarála;
4 Zedekiah king of Judah will not escape from the hands of the Chaldeans, but he will surely be delivered into the hand of the king of Babylon, and will speak with him face to face and see him eye to eye.
4 Y Sedechîas rey de Judá no escapará de la mano de los Caldeos, sino que de cierto será entregado en mano del rey de Babilonia, y hablará con él boca á boca, y sus ojos verán sus ojos;
5 He will take Zedekiah to Babylon, where he will stay until I attend to him, declares the LORD. If you fight against the Chaldeans, you will not succeed.’”
5 Y hará llevar á Sedechîas á Babilonia, y allá estará hasta que yo le visite, dice Jehová: si peleareis con los Caldeos, no os sucederá bien?
6 Jeremiah replied, “The word of the LORD came to me, saying:
6 Y dijo Jeremías: Palabra de Jehová fué á mí, diciendo:
7 Behold! Hanamel, the son of your uncle Shallum, is coming to you to say, ‘Buy for yourself my field in Anathoth, for you have the right of redemption to buy it.’
7 He aquí que Hanameel, hijo de Sallum tu tío, viene á ti, diciendo: Cómprame mi heredad que está en Anathoth; porque tú tienes derecho á ella para comprarla.
8 Then, as the LORD had said, my cousin Hanamel came to me in the courtyard of the guard and urged me, ‘Please buy my field in Anathoth in the land of Benjamin, for you own the right of inheritance and redemption. Buy it for yourself.’” Then I knew that this was the word of the LORD.
8 Y vino á mí Hanameel, hijo de mi tío, conforme á la palabra de Jehová, al patio de la cárcel, y díjome: Compra ahora mi heredad que está en Anathoth, en tierra de Benjamín, porque tuyo es el derecho de la herencia, y á ti compete la redención: cómprala para ti. Entonces conocí que era palabra de Jehová.
9 So I bought the field in Anathoth from my cousin Hanamel, and I weighed out seventeen shekels of silver.
9 Y compré la heredad de Hanameel, hijo de mi tío, la cual estaba en Anathoth, y peséle el dinero: diecisiete siclos de plata.
10 I signed and sealed the deed, called in witnesses, and weighed out the silver on the scales.
10 Y escribí la carta, y selléla, é hice atestiguar á testigos, y pesé el dinero con balanza.
11 Then I took the deed of purchase—the sealed copy with its terms and conditions, as well as the open copy—
11 Tomé luego la carta de venta, sellada [según] el derecho y costumbre, y el traslado abierto.
12 and I gave this deed to Baruch son of Neriah, the son of Mahseiah, in the sight of my cousin Hanamel and the witnesses who were signing the purchase agreement and all the Jews sitting in the courtyard of the guard.
12 Y dí la carta de venta á Baruch hijo de Nerías, hijo de Maasías, delante de Hanameel el [hijo] de mi tío, y delante de los testigos que habían suscrito en la carta de venta, delante de todos los Judíos que estaban en el patio de la cárcel.
13 In their sight I instructed Baruch,
13 Y dí orden á Baruch delante de ellos, diciendo:
14 “This is what the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, says: Take these deeds—both the sealed copy and the open copy of the deed of purchase—and put them in a clay jar to preserve them for a long time.
14 Así ha dicho Jehová de los ejércitos, Dios de Israel: Toma estas cartas, esta carta de venta, la sellada, y ésta la carta abierta, y ponlas en un vaso de barro, para que se guarden muchos días.
15 For this is what the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, says: Houses, fields, and vineyards will again be bought in this land.”
15 Porque así ha dicho Jehová de los ejércitos, Dios de Israel: Aun se comprarán casas, y heredades, y viñas en esta tierra.
16 After I had given the deed of purchase to Baruch son of Neriah, I prayed to the LORD:
16 Y después que dí la carta de venta á Baruch hijo de Nerías, oré á Jehová, diciendo:
17 “Oh, Lord GOD! You have made the heavens and the earth by Your great power and outstretched arm. Nothing is too difficult for You!
17 ¡Oh Señor Jehová! he aquí que tú hiciste el cielo y la tierra con tu gran poder, y con tu brazo extendido, ni hay nada que sea difícil para ti:
18 You show loving devotion to thousands but lay the iniquity of the fathers into the laps of their children after them, O great and mighty God whose name is the LORD of Hosts,
18 Que haces misericordia en millares, y vuelves la maldad de los padres en el seno de sus hijos después de ellos: Dios grande, poderoso, Jehová de los ejércitos es su nombre:
19 the One great in counsel and mighty in deed, whose eyes are on all the ways of the sons of men, to reward each one according to his ways and according to the fruit of his deeds.
19 Grande en consejo, y magnífico en hechos: porque tus ojos están abiertos sobre todos los caminos de los hijos de los hombres, para dar á cada uno según sus caminos, y según el fruto de sus obras:
20 You performed signs and wonders in the land of Egypt, and You do so to this very day, both in Israel and among all mankind. And You have made a name for Yourself, as is the case to this day.
20 Que pusiste señales y portentos en tierra de Egipto hasta este día, y en Israel, y entre los hombres; y te has hecho nombre cual es este día;
21 You brought Your people Israel out of the land of Egypt with signs and wonders, with a strong hand and an outstretched arm, and with great terror.
21 Y sacaste tu pueblo Israel de tierra de Egipto con señales y portentos, y con mano fuerte y brazo extendido, con terror grande;
22 You gave them this land that You had sworn to give their fathers, a land flowing with milk and honey.
22 Y dísteles esta tierra, de la cual juraste á sus padres que se la darías, tierra que mana leche y miel:
23 They came in and possessed it, but they did not obey Your voice or walk in Your law. They failed to perform all that You commanded them to do, and so You have brought upon them all this disaster.
23 Y entraron, y poseyéronla: mas no oyeron tu voz, ni anduvieron en tu ley; nada hicieron de lo que les mandaste hacer; por tanto has hecho venir sobre ellos todo este mal.
24 See how the siege ramps are mounted against the city to capture it. And by sword and famine and plague, the city has been given into the hands of the Chaldeans who are fighting against it. What You have spoken has happened, as You now see!
24 He aquí que con arietes han acometido la ciudad para tomarla; y la ciudad va á ser entregada en mano de los Caldeos que pelean contra ella, á causa de la espada, y del hambre y de la pestilencia: ha pues venido á ser lo que tú dijiste, y he aquí tú lo estás viendo.
25 Yet You, O Lord GOD, have said to me, ‘Buy for yourself the field with silver and call in witnesses, even though the city has been delivered into the hands of the Chaldeans!’”
25 ¡Oh Señor Jehová! ¿y me has tú dicho: Cómprate la heredad por dinero, y pon testigos; bien que la ciudad sea entregada en manos de los Caldeos?
26 Then the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah:
26 Y fué palabra de Jehová á Jeremías, diciendo:
27 “Behold, I am the LORD, the God of all flesh. Is anything too difficult for Me?
27 He aquí que yo soy Jehová, Dios de toda carne; ¿encubriráseme á mí alguna cosa?
28 Therefore this is what the LORD says: Behold, I am about to deliver this city into the hands of the Chaldeans and of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, who will capture it.
28 Por tanto así ha dicho Jehová: He aquí voy á entregar esta ciudad en mano de los Caldeos, y en mano de Nabucodonosor rey de Babilonia, y la tomará:
29 And the Chaldeans who are fighting against this city will come in, set it on fire, and burn it, along with the houses of those who provoked Me to anger by burning incense to Baal on their rooftops and by pouring out drink offerings to other gods.
29 Y vendrán los Caldeos que combaten esta ciudad, y la pondrán á fuego, y la abrasarán, asimismo las casas sobre cuyas azoteas ofrecieron perfumes á Baal y derramaron libaciones á dioses ajenos, para provocarme á ira.
30 For the children of Israel and of Judah have done nothing but evil in My sight from their youth; indeed, they have done nothing but provoke Me to anger by the work of their hands, declares the LORD.
30 Porque los hijos de Israel y los hijos de Judá no han hecho sino lo malo delante de mis ojos desde su juventud: porque los hijos de Israel no han hecho más que provocarme á ira con la obra de sus manos, dice Jehová.
31 For this city has aroused My wrath and fury from the day it was built until now. Therefore I will remove it from My presence
31 Por manera que para enojo mío y para ira mía me ha sido esta ciudad, desde el día que la edificaron hasta hoy, para que la haga quitar de mi presencia;
32 because of all the evil the children of Israel and of Judah have done to provoke Me to anger—they, their kings, their officials, their priests and prophets, the men of Judah, and the residents of Jerusalem.
32 Por toda la maldad de los hijos de Israel y de los hijos de Judá, que han hecho para enojarme, ellos, sus reyes, sus príncipes, sus sacerdotes, y sus profetas, y los varones de Judá, y los moradores de Jerusalem.
33 They have turned their backs to Me and not their faces. Though I taught them again and again, they would not listen or respond to discipline.
33 Y volviéronme la cerviz, y no el rostro: y cuando los enseñaba, madrugando y enseñando, no escucharon para recibir corrección:
34 They have placed their abominations in the house that bears My Name, and so have defiled it.
34 Antes asentaron sus abominaciones en la casa sobre la cual es invocado mi nombre, contaminándola.
35 They have built the high places of Baal in the Valley of Hinnom to make their sons and daughters pass through the fire to Molech—something I never commanded them, nor had it ever entered My mind, that they should commit such an abomination and cause Judah to sin.
35 Y edificaron altares á Baal, los cuales están en el valle del hijo de Hinnom, para hacer pasar [por el fuego] sus hijos y sus hijas á Moloch; lo cual no les mandé, ni me vino al pensamiento que hiciesen esta abominación, para hacer pecar á Judá.
36 Now therefore, about this city of which you say, ‘It will be delivered into the hand of the king of Babylon by sword and famine and plague,’ this is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says:
36 Y con todo, ahora así dice Jehová Dios de Israel, á esta ciudad, de la cual decís vosotros, Entregada será en mano del rey de Babilonia á cuchillo, á hambre, y á pestilencia:
37 I will surely gather My people from all the lands to which I have banished them in My furious anger and great wrath, and I will return them to this place and make them dwell in safety.
37 He aquí que yo los juntaré de todas las tierras á las cuales los eché con mi furor, y con mi enojo y saña grande; y los haré tornar á este lugar, y harélos habitar seguramente;
38 They will be My people, and I will be their God.
38 Y me serán por pueblo, y yo seré á ellos por Dios.
39 I will give them one heart and one way, so that they will always fear Me for their own good and for the good of their children after them.
39 Y daréles un corazón, y un camino, para que me teman perpetuamente, para que hayan bien ellos, y sus hijos después de ellos.
40 I will make an everlasting covenant with them: I will never turn away from doing good to them, and I will put My fear in their hearts, so that they will never turn away from Me.
40 Y haré con ellos pacto eterno, que no tornaré atrás de hacerles bien, y pondré mi temor en el corazón de ellos, para que no se aparten de mí.
41 Yes, I will rejoice in doing them good, and I will faithfully plant them in this land with all My heart and with all My soul.
41 Y alegraréme con ellos haciéndoles bien, y los plantaré en esta tierra en verdad, de todo mi corazón y de toda mi alma.
42 For this is what the LORD says: Just as I have brought all this great disaster on this people, so I will bring on them all the good I have promised them.
42 Porque así ha dicho Jehová: Como traje sobre este pueblo todo este grande mal, así traeré sobre ellos todo el bien que acerca de ellos hablo.
43 And fields will be bought in this land about which you are saying, ‘It is a desolation, without man or beast; it has been delivered into the hands of the Chaldeans.’
43 Y poseerán heredad en esta tierra de la cual vosotros decís: Está desierta, sin hombres y sin animales; es entregada en manos de los Caldeos.
44 Fields will be purchased with silver, and deeds will be signed, sealed, and witnessed in the land of Benjamin, in the areas surrounding Jerusalem, and in the cities of Judah—the cities of the hill country, the foothills, and the Negev—because I will restore them from captivity, declares the LORD.”
44 Heredades comprarán por dinero, y harán carta, y la sellarán, y pondrán testigos, en tierra de Benjamín y en los contornos de Jerusalem, y en las ciudades de Judá: y en las ciudades de las montañas, y en las ciudades de las campiñas, y en las ciudades del mediodía: porque yo haré tornar su cautividad, dice Jehová.
