WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
1 Entonces, cuando Pasur, hijo de Imer, sacerdote encargado del templo del Señor, oyó lo que Jeremías decía,
1 Now Pashhur, the son of Immer the priest, who was chief officer in Yahweh’s house, heard Jeremiah prophesying these things.
2 lo prendió y ordenó que le dieran una paliza y que lo pusieran en un calabozo, en la cárcel que está en la puerta de la ciudad conocida como de Benjamín, cerca del templo.
2 Then Pashhur struck Jeremiah the prophet and put him in the stocks that were in the upper gate of Benjamin, which was in Yahweh’s house.
3 Al día siguiente, cuando por fin Pasur lo soltó, Jeremías dijo: Pasur, el Señor te ha cambiado de nombre. Él ordena que de ahora en adelante se te llame «Varón que vive en el terror».
3 On the next day, Pashhur released Jeremiah out of the stocks. Then Jeremiah said to him, “Yahweh has not called your name Pashhur, but Magormissabib.
4 Porque el Señor enviará terror sobre ti y todos tus amigos, y los verás morir por herida de espada, traspasados por sus enemigos. Dejaré a Judá en manos del rey de Babilonia, dice el Señor, y él se llevará a los de este pueblo como esclavos a Babilonia y dejará que los acuchillen.
4 For Yahweh says, ‘Behold, I will make you a terror to yourself and to all your friends. They will fall by the sword of their enemies, and your eyes will see it. I will give all Judah into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he will carry them captive to Babylon, and will kill them with the sword.
5 Y yo dejaré que tus enemigos saqueen a Jerusalén. Todos los famosos tesoros de la ciudad, con las piedras preciosas, el oro y la plata de los reyes, serán llevados a Babilonia.
5 Moreover I will give all the riches of this city, and all its gains, and all its precious things, yes, I will give all the treasures of the kings of Judah into the hand of their enemies. They will make them captives, take them, and carry them to Babylon.
6 En cuanto a ti, Pasur, todos los de tu casa y parentela serán esclavos en Babilonia y allí morirán; tú y aquellos a quienes engañaste profetizando que todo saldría bien.
6 You, Pashhur, and all who dwell in your house will go into captivity. You will come to Babylon, and there you will die, and there you will be buried, you, and all your friends, to whom you have prophesied falsely.’”
7 Entonces dije: ¡Oh Señor, me sedujiste y no puse resistencia! Me veo forzado a darles tus mensajes porque tú eres más fuerte que yo, pero ahora soy el hazmerreír de la ciudad, todo el mundo se burla de mí.
7 Yahweh, you have persuaded me, and I was persuaded. You are stronger than I, and have prevailed. I have become a laughingstock all day. Everyone mocks me.
8 Ni una sola vez me has permitido decirles siquiera una palabra bondadosa, todo el tiempo he tenido que anunciarles desastre, horror y destrucción. Con razón se ríen y burlan de mí y convierten mi nombre en chiste de la familia.
8 For as often as I speak, I cry out; I cry, “Violence and destruction!” because Yahweh’s word has been made a reproach to me, and a derision, all day.
9 ¡Y no puedo renunciar! Porque si digo que nunca más volveré a mencionar al Señor, que nunca más hablaré en su representación, empiezo a sentir tu palabra como si fuera lumbre que me quema por dentro y no lo puedo resistir más.
9 If I say that I will not make mention of him, or speak any more in his name, then there is in my heart as it were a burning fire shut up in my bones. I am weary with holding it in. I can’t.
10 Sin embargo, por todos lados los oigo murmurar sus amenazas y tengo miedo. «Te vamos a acusar», dicen. Hasta los que eran mis amigos me vigilan, esperando que cometa un error fatal. «Él solo se meterá en la trampa», dicen, «y entonces lo atraparemos y nos vengaremos de él».
10 For I have heard the defaming of many: “Terror on every side! Denounce, and we will denounce him!” say all my familiar friends, those who watch for my fall. “Perhaps he will be persuaded, and we will prevail against him, and we will take our revenge on him.”
11 Pero el Señor está junto a mí como gran guerrero, y delante de él, el Poderoso, el Terrible, ellos no pueden hacer nada. No pueden derrotarme; serán avergonzados y completamente humillados, y sobre ellos caerá un castigo muy duro.
11 But Yahweh is with me as an awesome mighty one. Therefore my persecutors will stumble, and they won’t prevail. They will be utterly disappointed because they have not dealt wisely, even with an everlasting dishonor which will never be forgotten.
12 ¡Oh Señor de los ejércitos, que conoces a los que son justos y examinas los más profundos pensamientos del corazón y la mente, permíteme ver tu venganza contra ellos! Porque en ti he confiado mis asuntos.
12 But Yahweh of Armies, who tests the righteous, who sees the heart and the mind, let me see your vengeance on them, for I have revealed my cause to you.
13 Con esta confianza que me inspiras, cantaré de alegría y agradecimiento al Señor. ¡Cantemos, pues pobre y menesteroso como yo era, él me ha liberado de mis perseguidores!
13 Sing to Yahweh! Praise Yahweh, for he has delivered the soul of the needy from the hand of evildoers.
14 ¡Maldito el día en que nací! ¡Para nada sea recordado con alegría el día que mi madre me dio a luz!
14 Cursed is the day in which I was born. Don’t let the day in which my mother bore me be blessed.
15 ¡Maldito sea aquel mensajero que le avisó a mi padre de mi nacimiento!
15 Cursed is the man who brought news to my father, saying, “A boy is born to you,” making him very glad.
16 ¡Que a ese mensajero le pase como a las ciudades de la antigüedad que Dios destruyó sin misericordia.
16 Let that man be as the cities which Yahweh overthrew, and didn’t repent. Let him hear a cry in the morning, and shouting at noontime,
17 Ahora deseo haber nacido muerto, siendo el vientre de mi madre mi tumba y así no haber tenido que pasar por todo lo que he pasado.
17 because he didn’t kill me from the womb. So my mother would have been my grave, and her womb always great.
18 ¿Pues para qué nací? Porque mi vida sólo ha sido angustia, dolor y vergüenza.
18 Why did I come out of the womb to see labor and sorrow, that my days should be consumed with shame?
