1 This is the message that came to Jeremiah regarding all the people of Judah living in Egypt—in Migdol, Tahpanhes, and Memphis—and in Upper Egypt.
1 PALABRA que fué á Jeremías acerca de todos los Judíos que moraban en la tierra de Egipto, que moraban en Migdol, y en Taphnes, y en Noph, y en tierra de Pathros, diciendo:
1 The word that came to Jeremiah concerning all the Jews who lived in the land of Egypt, who lived at Migdol, and at Tahpanhes, and at Memphis, and in the country of Pathros, saying,
2 This is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: You saw the complete disaster that I brought down on Jerusalem and all the towns of Judah. You can see how today they're ruined and abandoned
2 Así ha dicho Jehová de los ejércitos, Dios de Israel: Vosotros habéis visto todo el mal que traje sobre Jerusalem y sobre todas las ciudades de Judá: y he aquí que ellas están el día de hoy asoladas, ni hay en ellas morador;
2 “Yahweh of Armies, the God of Israel, says: ‘You have seen all the evil that I have brought on Jerusalem, and on all the cities of Judah. Behold, today they are a desolation, and no man dwells in them,
3 because of the evil they did. They made me angry by burning incense and serving other gods that they hadn't ever known, and you and your forefathers hadn't known either.
3 A causa de la maldad de ellos que cometieron para hacerme enojar, yendo á ofrecer sahumerios, honrando dioses ajenos que ellos no habían conocido, vosotros, ni vuestros padres.
3 because of their wickedness which they have committed to provoke me to anger, in that they went to burn incense, to serve other gods that they didn’t know, neither they, nor you, nor your fathers.
4 I sent you all my servants the prophets time and again to warn you: “Don't do these offensive things that I hate.”
4 Y envié á vosotros á todos mis siervos los profetas, madrugando y enviándolos, diciendo: No hagáis ahora esta cosa abominable que yo aborrezco.
4 However I sent to you all my servants the prophets, rising up early and sending them, saying, “Oh, don’t do this abominable thing that I hate.”
5 But you refused to listen or to pay attention. You didn't stop their wickedness or burning incense in worship of other gods.
5 Mas no oyeron ni inclinaron su oído para convertirse de su maldad, para no ofrecer sahumerios á dioses ajenos.
5 But they didn’t listen and didn’t incline their ear. They didn’t turn from their wickedness, to stop burning incense to other gods.
6 That's why my furious anger poured out and set fire to the towns of Judah and burned in the streets of Jerusalem, making them the abandoned ruins they still are today.
6 Derramóse por tanto mi saña y mi furor, y encendióse en las ciudades de Judá y en las calles de Jerusalem, y tornáronse en soledad y en destrucción, como hoy.
6 Therefore my wrath and my anger was poured out, and was kindled in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem; and they are wasted and desolate, as it is today.’
7 So this is what the Lord God Almighty, the God of Israel, says: Why are you hurting yourselves so badly by removing from Judah every man, woman, child, infant, so you don't have anyone left?
7 Ahora pues, así ha dicho Jehová de los ejércitos, Dios de Israel: ¿Por qué hacéis tan grande mal contra vuestras almas, para ser talados varón y mujer, niño y mamante, de en medio de Judá, sin que os quede residuo alguno;
7 “Therefore now Yahweh, the God of Armies, the God of Israel, says: ‘Why do you commit great evil against your own souls, to cut off from yourselves man and woman, infant and nursing child out of the middle of Judah, to leave yourselves no one remaining,
8 Why are you making me angry by what you do, burning incense to other gods in Egypt where you have come to live? Because of this you will be destroyed, and you will become a curse word, an expression of condemnation among all the nations on earth.
8 Haciéndome enojar con las obras de vuestras manos, ofreciendo sahumerios á dioses ajenos en la tierra de Egipto, adonde habéis entrado para morar, de suerte que os acabéis, y seáis por maldición y por oprobio á todas las gentes de la tierra?
8 in that you provoke me to anger with the works of your hands, burning incense to other gods in the land of Egypt where you have gone to live, that you may be cut off, and that you may be a curse and a reproach among all the nations of the earth?
9 Have you forgotten the evil of your forefathers and the evil of the kings of Judah and the evil of their wives, as well as your own evil and the evil your wives, all practiced in the country of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem?
9 ¿Os habéis olvidado de las maldades de vuestros padres, y de las maldades de los reyes de Judá, y de las maldades de sus mujeres, y de vuestras maldades, y de las maldades de vuestras mujeres, que hicieron en tierra de Judá y en las calles de Jerusalem?
9 Have you forgotten the wickedness of your fathers, the wickedness of the kings of Judah, the wickedness of their wives, your own wickedness, and the wickedness of your wives which they committed in the land of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem?
10 Even up to now you haven't shown any remorse or reverence. You haven't followed my rules and regulations I gave you and your forefathers.
10 No se han morigerado hasta el día de hoy, ni han tenido temor, ni han caminado en mi ley, ni en mis estatutos que puse delante de vosotros y delante de vuestros padres.
10 They are not humbled even to this day, neither have they feared, nor walked in my law, nor in my statutes, that I set before you and before your fathers.’
11 So this is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: I am determined to bring disaster and to wipe out everyone from Judah.
11 Por tanto, así ha dicho Jehová de los ejércitos, Dios de Israel: He aquí que yo pongo mi rostro en vosotros para mal, y para destruir á todo Judá.
11 “Therefore Yahweh of Armies, the God of Israel, says: ‘Behold, I will set my face against you for evil, even to cut off all Judah.
12 I'm going to destroy you who are left who decided to go to Egypt to live there. You will die there, killed by the sword or by famine. Whoever you are, from the least to the most important, you're going to die by sword or by famine; and you will become a curse word, something horrible, an insult, an expression of condemnation.
12 Y tomaré el resto de Judá que pusieron sus rostros para entrar en tierra de Egipto para morar allí, y en tierra de Egipto serán todos consumidos, caerán á cuchillo, serán consumidos de hambre, á cuchillo y hambre morirán desde el más pequeño hasta el mayor; y serán por juramento, y por espanto, y por maldición, y por oprobio.
12 I will take the remnant of Judah that have set their faces to go into the land of Egypt to live there, and they will all be consumed. They will fall in the land of Egypt. They will be consumed by the sword and by the famine. They will die, from the least even to the greatest, by the sword and by the famine. They will be an object of horror, an astonishment, a curse, and a reproach.
13 I'm going to punish you who live in Egypt like I punished Jerusalem, by war and famine and disease.
13 Pues visitaré á los que moran en tierra de Egipto, como visité á Jerusalem, con cuchillo, y con hambre, y con pestilencia.
13 For I will punish those who dwell in the land of Egypt, as I have punished Jerusalem, by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence;
14 Nobody who is left from Judah who has gone to live in Egypt will escape or survive to return to the country of Judah. You long to go back and live there, but nobody will return except a few stragglers.
14 Y del resto de Judá que entraron en tierra de Egipto para morar allí, no habrá quien escape, ni quien quede vivo, para volver á la tierra de Judá, por la cual suspiran ellos por volver para habitar allí: porque no volverán sino los que escaparen.
14 so that none of the remnant of Judah, who have gone into the land of Egypt to live there, will escape or be left to return into the land of Judah, to which they have a desire to return to dwell there; for no one will return except those who will escape.’”
15 All the men who knew that their wives were burning incense to other gods, and all the women who were there, a great crowd of people, those living in Egypt and Upper Egypt all told Jeremiah,
15 Entonces todos los que sabían que sus mujeres habían ofrecido sahumerios á dioses ajenos, y todas las mujeres que estaban presentes, una gran concurrencia, y todo el pueblo que habitaba en tierra de Egipto, en Pathros, respondieron á Jeremías, diciendo:
15 Then all the men who knew that their wives burned incense to other gods, and all the women who stood by, a great assembly, even all the people who lived in the land of Egypt, in Pathros, answered Jeremiah, saying,
16 “Even though you say this message is from the Lord, we're not going to listen to you.
16 La palabra que nos has hablado en nombre de Jehová, no oímos de ti:
16 “As for the word that you have spoken to us in Yahweh’s name, we will not listen to you.
17 In fact we're going to do everything we said we would. We'll burn incense to the Queen of Heaven and offer drink offerings to worship her as we did before, just like our fathers, our kings, and our officials who did the same things in the towns of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem. Back then we had plenty of food and we were well off and nothing bad happened to us.
17 Antes pondremos ciertamente por obra toda palabra que ha salido de nuestra boca, para ofrecer sahumerios á la reina del cielo, y derramándole libaciones, como hemos hecho nosotros y nuestros padres, nuestros reyes y nuestros príncipes, en las ciudades de Judá y en las plazas de Jerusalem, y fuimos hartos de pan, y estuvimos alegres, y no vimos mal alguno.
17 But we will certainly perform every word that has gone out of our mouth, to burn incense to the queen of the sky and to pour out drink offerings to her, as we have done, we and our fathers, our kings and our princes, in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem; for then we had plenty of food, and were well, and saw no evil.
18 But ever since we stopped burning incense to the Queen of Heaven and pouring out drink offerings to worship her, we've lost everything and have been dying as a result of war and famine.”
18 Mas desde que cesamos de ofrecer sahumerios á la reina del cielo, y de derramarle libaciones, nos falta todo, y á cuchillo y á hambre somos consumidos.
18 But since we stopped burning incense to the queen of the sky, and pouring out drink offerings to her, we have lacked all things, and have been consumed by the sword and by the famine.”
19 “On top of that,” the women added, “when we burned incense to the Queen of Heaven and poured out drink offerings to worship her, did we do this without our husbands knowing about it, that we baked cakes stamped with her image and poured out drink offerings to worship her?”
19 Y cuando ofrecimos sahumerios á la reina del cielo, y le derramamos libaciones, ¿hicímosle nosotras tortas para tributarle culto, y le derramamos libaciones, sin nuestros maridos?
19 The women said, “When we burned incense to the queen of the sky and poured out drink offerings to her, did we make her cakes to worship her, and pour out drink offerings to her, without our husbands?”
20 Jeremiah replied to all the people, both men and women, who were responding to him,
20 Y habló Jeremías á todo el pueblo, á los hombres y á las mujeres, y á todo el vulgo que le había respondido esto, diciendo:
20 Then Jeremiah said to all the people—to the men and to the women, even to all the people who had given him an answer, saying,
21 “About that incense you burned to other gods in the towns of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem, as well as your fathers, your kings, your officials, and the ordinary people—don't you think the Lord wouldn't remember and think about it?
21 ¿No se ha acordado Jehová, y no ha venido á su memoria el sahumerio que ofrecisteis en las ciudades de Judá, y en las plazas de Jerusalem, vosotros y vuestros padres, vuestros reyes y vuestros príncipes, y el pueblo de la tierra?
21 “The incense that you burned in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem, you and your fathers, your kings and your princes, and the people of the land, didn’t Yahweh remember them, and didn’t it come into his mind?
22 The Lord couldn't take it anymore—the evil things you did and your disgusting acts—so your country was turned into an uninhabited wasteland, a place of horror and a curse word to others, as it still is today.
22 Y no pudo sufrir más Jehová á causa de la maldad de vuestras obras, á causa de las abominaciones que habíais hecho: por tanto vuestra tierra fué en asolamiento, y en espanto, y en maldición, hasta no quedar morador, como hoy.
22 Thus Yahweh could no longer bear it, because of the evil of your doings and because of the abominations which you have committed. Therefore your land has become a desolation, an astonishment, and a curse, without inhabitant, as it is today.
23 As you can see today, the disaster you've experienced happened because you burned incense to other gods and sinned against the Lord, refusing to listen to the Lord or to follow his instructions, his rules, and his regulations.”
23 Porque ofrecisteis sahumerios, y pecasteis contra Jehová, y no obedecisteis á la voz de Jehová, ni anduvisteis en su ley, ni en sus estatutos, ni en sus testimonios: por tanto ha venido sobre vosotros este mal, como hoy.
23 Because you have burned incense and because you have sinned against Yahweh, and have not obeyed Yahweh’s voice, nor walked in his law, nor in his statutes, nor in his testimonies; therefore this evil has happened to you, as it is today.”
24 Then Jeremiah told everyone, including all the women, “Listen to the Lord's message, all you people from Judah living here in Egypt.
24 Y dijo Jeremías á todo el pueblo, y á todas las mujeres: Oid palabra de Jehová, todos los de Judá que estáis en tierra de Egipto:
24 Moreover Jeremiah said to all the people, including all the women, “Hear Yahweh’s word, all Judah who are in the land of Egypt!
25 This is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: You and your wives, you've said what you're going to do, and you've done what you said! You said, ‘We're going to keep our promise to burn incense to the Queen of Heaven and to pour out drink offerings to worship her.’ So go ahead! Do what you've said! Keep your promises!
25 Así ha hablado Jehová de los ejércitos, Dios de Israel, diciendo: Vosotros y vuestras mujeres proferisteis con vuestras bocas, y con vuestras manos lo ejecutasteis, diciendo: Cumpliremos efectivamente nuestros votos que hicimos, de ofrecer sahumerios á la reina del cielo y de derramarle libaciones: confirmáis á la verdad vuestros votos, y ponéis vuestros votos por obra.
25 Yahweh of Armies, the God of Israel, says, ‘You and your wives have both spoken with your mouths, and with your hands have fulfilled it, saying, “We will surely perform our vows that we have vowed, to burn incense to the queen of the sky, and to pour out drink offerings to her.” “‘Establish then your vows, and perform your vows.’
26 But even so, listen to what the Lord says, all you people from Judah living here in Egypt: I guarantee by all that I am, says the Lord, that none of you living in Egypt will ever use my name or swear, ‘As the Lord God lives.’
26 Por tanto, oid palabra de Jehová, todo Judá que habitáis en tierra de Egipto: He aquí he jurado por mi grande nombre, dice Jehová, que mi nombre no será más invocado en toda la tierra de Egipto por boca de ningún hombre Judío, diciendo: Vive el Señor Jehová.
26 “Therefore hear Yahweh’s word, all Judah who dwell in the land of Egypt: ‘Behold, I have sworn by my great name,’ says Yahweh, ‘that my name will no more be named in the mouth of any man of Judah in all the land of Egypt, saying, “As the Lord Yahweh lives.”
27 I will take care of them in the bad sense, and not in the good sense. All the people from Judah who are in Egypt will die by sword or famine, until they are wiped out.
27 He aquí que yo velo sobre ellos para mal, y no para bien; y todos los hombres de Judá que están en tierra de Egipto, serán consumidos á cuchillo y de hambre, hasta que perezcan del todo.
27 Behold, I watch over them for evil, and not for good; and all the men of Judah who are in the land of Egypt will be consumed by the sword and by the famine, until they are all gone.
28 Those who manage to avoid being killed by the sword will go back to Judah from Egypt. But there will only be a few of them, and then all who were left from Judah and went to live in Egypt will know who's telling the truth—me or them!
28 Y los que escaparen del cuchillo, volverán de tierra de Egipto á tierra de Judá, pocos hombres; sabrán pues todas las reliquias de Judá, que han entrado en Egipto á morar allí la palabra de quién ha de permanecer, si la mía, ó la suya.
28 Those who escape the sword will return out of the land of Egypt into the land of Judah few in number. All the remnant of Judah, who have gone into the land of Egypt to live there, will know whose word will stand, mine or theirs.
29 This is your sign to prove that I'm going to punish you here, declares the Lord, so that you'll know for certain that my threats against you will really happen.
29 Y esto tendréis por señal, dice Jehová, de que en este lugar os visito, para que sepáis que de cierto permanecerán mis palabras para mal sobre vosotros.
29 “‘This will be the sign to you,’ says Yahweh, ‘that I will punish you in this place, that you may know that my words will surely stand against you for evil.’
30 This is what the Lord says: Look! I'm going to hand over Pharaoh Hophra king of Egypt to his enemies who are trying to kill him, in the same way that I handed over Zedekiah king of Judah to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, his enemy who was trying to kill him.”
30 Así ha dicho Jehová: He aquí que yo entrego á Faraón Hophra rey de Egipto en mano de sus enemigos, y en mano de los que buscan su alma, como entregué á Sedechîas rey de Judá en mano de Nabucodonosor rey de Babilonia, su enemigo, y que buscaba su alma.
30 Yahweh says, ‘Behold, I will give Pharaoh Hophra king of Egypt into the hand of his enemies and into the hand of those who seek his life, just as I gave Zedekiah king of Judah into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, who was his enemy and sought his life.’”
