WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
1 Entonces el Señor me dijo: Aun si Moisés y Samuel vinieran ante mí a rogarme por este pueblo, yo no les ayudaría. ¡Fuera con ellos! ¡Échalos de mi presencia!
1 Then Yahweh said to me, “Though Moses and Samuel stood before me, yet my mind would not turn toward this people. Cast them out of my sight, and let them go out!
2 Y si te preguntan: ¿A dónde podemos ir?, infórmales que el Señor dice: Los destinados a morir, a la muerte; los destinados a morir en la guerra, a la guerra; los que han de morir de hambre, al hambre; y los del cautiverio, al cautiverio.
2 It will happen when they ask you, ‘Where shall we go out?’ then you shall tell them, ‘Yahweh says: “Such as are for death, to death; such as are for the sword, to the sword; such as are for the famine, to the famine; and such as are for captivity, to captivity.”’
3 Cuatro clases de destructores les echaré encima: la espada que mata, los perros que destrozan, y los buitres y bestias salvajes que acaben con el resto.
3 “I will appoint over them four kinds,” says Yahweh: “the sword to kill, the dogs to tear, the birds of the sky, and the animals of the earth, to devour and to destroy.
4 Por las maldades que en Jerusalén hizo Manasés, hijo de Ezequías, rey de Judá, los castigaré tan terriblemente que quedarán tan malparados que los demás pueblos se horrorizarán.
4 I will cause them to be tossed back and forth among all the kingdoms of the earth, because of Manasseh, the son of Hezekiah, king of Judah, for that which he did in Jerusalem.
5 ¿Quién tendrá lástima de ti, Jerusalén? ¿Quién llorará por ti? ¿Quién preguntará siquiera cómo estás?
5 For who will have pity on you, Jerusalem? Who will mourn you? Who will come to ask of your welfare?
6 Me abandonaste y me volviste la espalda, dice el Señor. Por lo tanto, yo utilizaré mi fuerza para destruirte. Ya estoy harto de darte oportunidad tras oportunidad de que te arrepientas.
6 You have rejected me,” says Yahweh. “You have gone backward. Therefore I have stretched out my hand against you and destroyed you. I am weary of showing compassion.
7 Te voy a zarandear a las puertas de tus ciudades y te quitaré todo lo que tienes por valioso y arruinaré a mi propio pueblo porque se niegan a volverse a mí dejando sus conductas perversas.
7 I have winnowed them with a fan in the gates of the land. I have bereaved them of children. I have destroyed my people. They didn’t return from their ways.
8 Entonces habrá innumerables viudas; a mediodía traeré muerte a los muchachos y dolor a sus madres. Haré que de repente caigan sobre ellos angustia y miedo.
8 Their widows are increased more than the sand of the seas. I have brought on them against the mother of the young men a destroyer at noonday. I have caused anguish and terrors to fall on her suddenly.
9 La madre de siete hijos flaqueará y se desmayará de dolor porque se los mataron a todos. Ella sentirá que todo se vuelve negro por el dolor que la embarga, a pesar de ser de pleno día. Allí está Jerusalén sentada como estéril, avergonzada, porque a los sobrevivientes los rematarán los enemigos, dice el Señor.
9 She who has borne seven languishes. She has given up the spirit. Her sun has gone down while it was yet day. She has been disappointed and confounded. I will deliver their residue to the sword before their enemies,” says Yahweh.
10 Entonces Jeremías dijo: «¡Qué tristeza tengo, madre mía! ¡Parece que nací sólo para sufrir y ser criticado por toda la gente! Porque donde quiera que voy me detestan. No soy ni acreedor pronto a cobrar una hipoteca ni deudor moroso, y sin embargo, todos me maldicen.
10 Woe is me, my mother, that you have borne me, a man of strife, and a man of contention to the whole earth! I have not lent, neither have men lent to me; yet every one of them curses me.
11 ¡Tú sabes, Señor, cómo ante ti he intercedido por ellos, cómo te he suplicado que libres a estos enemigos míos cuando estaban en apuros!».
11 Yahweh said, “Most certainly I will strengthen you for good. Most certainly I will cause the enemy to make supplication to you in the time of evil and in the time of affliction.
12 ¿Podrá alguien ser capaz de romper barras de hierro o de bronce del norte? ¡Claro que no! Así pues, por todas sus malas acciones en mi contra, entregaré a su enemigo como botín su riqueza y tesoros.
12 Can one break iron, even iron from the north, and bronze?
13 Not in this translation
13 I will give your substance and your treasures for a plunder without price, and that for all your sins, even in all your borders.
14 Haré que sus enemigos se los lleven como esclavos a una tierra donde nunca han estado, porque han hecho explotar mi cólera y ahora sufrirán las consecuencias.
14 I will make them to pass with your enemies into a land which you don’t know; for a fire is kindled in my anger, which will burn on you.”
15 Entonces Jeremías respondió: «¡Señor, tú sabes que es por amor a ti que padezco! Me persiguen porque les he comunicado tus mensajes. ¡No dejes que me maten! ¡Líbrame de sus garras y dales su merecido!
15 Yahweh, you know. Remember me, visit me, and avenge me of my persecutors. You are patient, so don’t take me away. Know that for your sake I have suffered reproach.
16 Son tus palabras las que me dan ánimo y consuelo; ellas son como alimento para mi vida desesperada, traen alegría a mi corazón triste y me deleitan. ¡Qué orgulloso estoy de contribuir para que tu nombre se vuelva más famoso, oh Señor de los ejércitos!
16 Your words were found, and I ate them. Your words were to me a joy and the rejoicing of my heart, for I am called by your name, Yahweh, God of Armies.
17 No he participado de los alegres festines del pueblo, más bien me he apartado de ellos enojado por sus malas conductas, lleno de indignación. ¿No dejarán jamás de perseguirme? ¡Es que a veces siento que no hay remedio para mis males y en ocasiones te siento indiferente a mi dolor!».
17 I didn’t sit in the assembly of those who make merry and rejoice. I sat alone because of your hand, for you have filled me with indignation.
18 Not in this translation
18 Why is my pain perpetual, and my wound incurable, which refuses to be healed? Will you indeed be to me as a deceitful brook, like waters that fail?
19 El Señor respondió: ¡Déjate de necedades y habla con algo de inteligencia! Sólo si pones en mí tu confianza te dejaré continuar como mi portavoz. Tienes que ser tú quien influya en ellos y no al revés.
19 Therefore Yahweh says, “If you return, then I will bring you again, that you may stand before me; and if you take out the precious from the vile, you will be as my mouth. They will return to you, but you will not return to them.
20 Lucharán contra ti como ejército sitiador contra una alta muralla. Pero no te vencerán porque yo estoy contigo para protegerte y librarte, dice el Señor.
20 I will make you to this people a fortified bronze wall. They will fight against you, but they will not prevail against you; for I am with you to save you and to deliver you,” says Yahweh.
21 Sí, sin falta te libraré de estos malvados y te rescataré de sus despiadadas manos.
21 “I will deliver you out of the hand of the wicked, and I will redeem you out of the hand of the terrible.”

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).
… Jerusalem: "She that hath born [seven] languisheth; her soul hath become weary; her sun hath gone down while it was yet noon; she hath been confounded, and suffered reproach: the remainder of them will I give to the sword in the sight of their enemies."
For ye, who "take forth the precious from the vile," have been made the mouth of God, through which He saith, "Let the waters bring forth," not the living creature which the earth bringeth forth, but the moving creature having life, and the fowls that fly above the earth.

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? "Though Moses himself and Samuel stood before me," I would not receive their supplication for these men." Yea, if it be Ezekiel who entreats, he will be told, "Though Noah …
