1 Luego volvió el Señor a hablarle a Jeremías:
1 The word that came to Jeremiah from Yahweh, saying,
2 Recuérdales a los habitantes de Judá y a todo el pueblo de Jerusalén que yo firmé un contrato con sus antepasados, ¡y maldito sea quien no lo respete!
2 “Hear the words of this covenant, and speak to the men of Judah, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem;
3 Not in this translation
3 and say to them, Yahweh, the God of Israel says: ‘Cursed is the man who doesn’t hear the words of this covenant,
4 Pues cuando los liberé de la esclavitud de Egipto les dije que si me obedecían y hacían cuanto yo les mandara, ellos y sus descendientes me pertenecerían y yo sería su Dios.
4 which I commanded your fathers in the day that I brought them out of the land of Egypt, out of the iron furnace,’ saying, ‘Obey my voice and do them, according to all which I command you; so you shall be my people, and I will be your God;
5 Ahora pues, Israel, obedéceme, dice el Señor, para que pueda hacer por ti también las admirables obras que juré realizar por ti si me obedecías. Quiero darte una tierra de la que «fluye leche y miel», es decir, muy próspera, tal como es hoy día. Entonces respondí: «¡Así sea, Señor!».
5 that I may establish the oath which I swore to your fathers, to give them a land flowing with milk and honey,’ as it is today.” Then I answered, and said, “Amen, Yahweh.”
6 Luego el Señor dijo: Comunica este mensaje por las calles de Jerusalén; ve de ciudad en ciudad por todo el país y diles: Acuérdense de este convenio que sus antepasados establecieron con Dios, y hagan todo lo que ellos le prometieron.
6 Yahweh said to me, “Proclaim all these words in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem, saying, ‘Hear the words of this covenant, and do them.
7 Porque solemnemente dije a sus antepasados cuando los saqué de Egipto, y he continuado repitiéndolo hasta este día: ¡Obedezcan todas mis instrucciones establecidas en el convenio!
7 For I earnestly protested to your fathers in the day that I brought them up out of the land of Egypt, even to this day, rising early and protesting, saying, “Obey my voice.”
8 Pero sus antepasados no lo hicieron, ni siquiera se dignaron poner atención a lo que les decía. Cada uno hizo lo que le dio la gana, guiado por su terquedad. Y como se negaron a obedecer, les apliqué los castigos estipulados en el convenio.
8 Yet they didn’t obey, nor turn their ear, but everyone walked in the stubbornness of their evil heart. Therefore I brought on them all the words of this covenant, which I commanded them to do, but they didn’t do them.’”
9 Volvió a hablarme el Señor y dijo: He descubierto entre los hombres de Judá y Jerusalén una conspiración contra mí.
9 Yahweh said to me, “A conspiracy is found among the men of Judah, and among the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
10 Han vuelto a cometer las mismas faltas de sus antepasados, se niegan a seguir mis instrucciones y ofrecen homenaje a los ídolos. El convenio que establecí con sus antepasados queda roto y sin validez.
10 They have turned back to the iniquities of their forefathers, who refused to hear my words. They have gone after other gods to serve them. The house of Israel and the house of Judah have broken my covenant which I made with their fathers.
11 Por lo tanto, dice el Señor, dejaré que caigan desgracias sobre ellos y no escaparán. Por más que se quejen de su mal, no atenderé sus súplicas.
11 Therefore Yahweh says, ‘Behold, I will bring evil on them which they will not be able to escape; and they will cry to me, but I will not listen to them.
12 ¡Que vayan a rogarles a sus ídolos y a quedar bien con ellos ofreciéndoles agradables perfumes! ¡Entonces se darán cuenta de lo incapaces que son esos ídolos de salvarlos!
12 Then the cities of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem will go and cry to the gods to which they offer incense, but they will not save them at all in the time of their trouble.
13 ¡Oh pueblo mío, tienen tantos ídolos como ciudades, y sus altares de vergüenza! ¡Hay altares para rendirle homenaje al ídolo Baal por todas las calles de Jerusalén!
13 For according to the number of your cities are your gods, Judah; and according to the number of the streets of Jerusalem you have set up altars to the shameful thing, even altars to burn incense to Baal.’
14 Por tanto, Jeremías, no intercedas más por este pueblo, ni llores ni supliques por ellos, porque no los escucharé cuando finalmente en su desesperación clamen pidiéndome ayuda.
14 “Therefore don’t pray for this people. Don’t lift up cry or prayer for them; for I will not hear them in the time that they cry to me because of their trouble.
15 ¿Qué derecho tiene mi pueblo para seguir acudiendo a mi templo? Porque han sido infieles adorando otros dioses. ¿Podrán ahora las promesas y los sacrificios desviar el castigo que les espera y volver a contar con vida y alegría?
15 What has my beloved to do in my house, since she has behaved lewdly with many, and the holy flesh has passed from you? When you do evil, then you rejoice.”
16 Eran como lozanos olivos para el Señor, se veían muy hermosos y estaban siempre llenos de buen fruto. Pero ahora el Señor ha enviado contra ellos la furia de sus enemigos para prenderles fuego y dejarlos convertidos en ramajes humeantes.
16 Yahweh called your name, “A green olive tree, beautiful with goodly fruit.” With the noise of a great roar he has kindled fire on it, and its branches are broken.
17 Por la maldad de Israel y Judá al ofrecerle agradables perfumes como homenaje a Baal es que el Señor de los ejércitos, quien plantó el olivo, también ha determinado su ruina.
17 For Yahweh of Armies, who planted you, has pronounced evil against you, because of the evil of the house of Israel and of the house of Judah, which they have done to themselves in provoking me to anger by offering incense to Baal.
18 Lo sé porque el Señor me contó los planes de ellos y me mostró sus intrigas.
18 Yahweh gave me knowledge of it, and I knew it. Then you showed me their doings.
19 Yo había estado tan confiado como oveja o buey camino del matadero, que no sabe lo que le espera. ¡No sabía que tramaban mi muerte! «Acabemos con este hombre y todos sus mensajes», decían, «matémoslo para que de él no quede ni el recuerdo».
19 But I was like a gentle lamb that is led to the slaughter. I didn’t know that they had devised plans against me, saying, “Let’s destroy the tree with its fruit, and let’s cut him off from the land of the living, that his name may be no more remembered.”
20 ¡Oh Señor de los ejércitos, tú eres justo, tú conoces los pensamientos e intenciones de la gente! Fíjate en el corazón y los móviles de estos hombres. Dales su merecido por todos sus planes. De ti espero justicia.
20 But, Yahweh of Armies, who judges righteously, who tests the heart and the mind, I will see your vengeance on them; for to you I have revealed my cause.
21 Y el Señor respondió: Los hombres de la ciudad de Anatot serán castigados por planear tu muerte. Bajo amenaza de muerte te ordenarán que no profetices en el nombre de Dios. Por ello, sus muchachos morirán en batalla, sus niños y niñas morirán de hambre.
21 “Therefore Yahweh says concerning the men of Anathoth, who seek your life, saying, ‘You shall not prophesy in Yahweh’s name, that you not die by our hand’—
22 Not in this translation
22 therefore Yahweh of Armies says, ‘Behold, I will punish them. The young men will die by the sword. Their sons and their daughters will die by famine.
23 ¡Ni uno de estos conspiradores de Anatot escapará con vida, porque sobre ellos traeré una desgracia espantosa! ¡Ya les llegará su hora!
23 There will be no remnant to them, for I will bring evil on the men of Anathoth, even the year of their visitation.’”

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).
Hear, for example, what God saith unto this last, "Pray not thou for this people, for I will not hear thee." And why marvellest thou if I hear not thee?
