1 Luego el Señor me dijo: Ve a hablarle directamente al rey de Judá y dile:
1 Yahweh said, “Go down to the house of the king of Judah, and speak this word there:
2 Oye este mensaje del Señor, rey de Judá, tú que ocupas el trono de David, y escuchen también tus servidores y tu pueblo.
2 ‘Hear Yahweh’s word, king of Judah, who sits on David’s throne—you, your servants, and your people who enter in by these gates.
3 El Señor dice: Sean justos. Procedan con rectitud. Ayuden a los que requieren justicia. Deténganse en sus maldades. Protejan los derechos de los extranjeros e inmigrantes, de los huérfanos y las viudas; ¡dejen de matar inocentes!
3 Yahweh says: “Execute justice and righteousness, and deliver him who is robbed out of the hand of the oppressor. Do no wrong. Do no violence to the foreigner, the fatherless, or the widow. Don’t shed innocent blood in this place.
4 Si dejan las terribles acciones que están cometiendo, yo libraré a esta nación y otra vez le daré reyes que ocupen el trono de David, y habrá prosperidad para todos.
4 For if you do this thing indeed, then kings sitting on David’s throne will enter in by the gates of this house, riding in chariots and on horses—they, their servants, and their people.
5 Pero si no atienden esta advertencia, juro por mi gran fama, dice el Señor, que este palacio lo convertiré en ruinas y la familia real acabada.
5 But if you will not hear these words, I swear by myself,” says Yahweh, “that this house will become a desolation.”’”
6 Porque este es el mensaje del Señor respecto a la familia real: Te quiero tanto como a la fructífera Galaad y a los verdes bosques del Líbano, pero te destruiré y te dejaré desierta y deshabitada.
6 For Yahweh says concerning the house of the king of Judah: “You are Gilead to me, the head of Lebanon. Yet surely I will make you a wilderness, cities which are not inhabited.
7 Llamaré a una cuadrilla de demoledores que traigan sus herramientas y te desmantelen. Arrancarán todas tus magníficas vigas de cedro y las echarán al fuego.
7 I will prepare destroyers against you, everyone with his weapons, and they will cut down your choice cedars, and cast them into the fire.
8 Hombres de muchas naciones pasarán junto a las ruinas de esta ciudad y se dirán uno al otro: «¿Por qué hizo esto el Señor? ¿Por qué destruyó esta gran ciudad?».
8 “Many nations will pass by this city, and they will each ask his neighbor, ‘Why has Yahweh done this to this great city?’
9 Y su respuesta será: «Porque el pueblo que la habitaba olvidó al Señor su Dios y violó el convenio que habían firmado con él, y le rindieron homenaje a ídolos».
9 Then they will answer, ‘Because they abandoned the covenant of Yahweh their God, worshiped other gods, and served them.’”
10 ¡No lloren la muerte de Josías! ¡Lloren más bien por los que son llevados cautivos! Porque jamás volverán a ver su país natal.
10 Don’t weep for the dead. Don’t bemoan him; but weep bitterly for him who goes away, for he will return no more, and not see his native country.
11 Esto dice el Señor respecto a Salún, que reinó después de su padre el rey Josías, y fue llevado cautivo:
11 For Yahweh says touching Shallum the son of Josiah, king of Judah, who reigned instead of Josiah his father, and who went out of this place: “He won’t return there any more.
12 Morirá en tierra lejana, y jamás volverá a ver su patria.
12 But he will die in the place where they have led him captive. He will see this land no more.”
13 ¡Ay de ti, rey Joacim, porque estás edificando tu gran palacio con trabajo forzado! Al no pagar los salarios a los trabajadores, es como si estuvieras edificando los muros con materiales de injusticia y con opresión haces los marcos de las puertas y los cielos rasos.
13 “Woe to him who builds his house by unrighteousness, and his rooms by injustice; who uses his neighbor’s service without wages, and doesn’t give him his hire;
14 Tú dices: «Construiré un magnífico palacio con grandes cámaras y muchas ventanas, con artesonados de fragante cedro y pintado de atractivo color rojo».
14 who says, ‘I will build myself a wide house and spacious rooms,’ and cuts out windows for himself, with a cedar ceiling, and painted with red.
15 ¡Pero no es la belleza del palacio lo que hace la grandeza del rey! ¿Por qué reinó tanto tiempo tu padre Josías? Porque fue justo e imparcial en todos sus actos. Por eso lo bendijo Dios.
15 “Should you reign because you strive to excel in cedar? Didn’t your father eat and drink, and do justice and righteousness? Then it was well with him.
16 Él se encargó de que a los pobres y menesterosos se les hiciera justicia y se les ayudara, y todo le salió bien. Esa es la manera de vivir de acuerdo a mi voluntad, dice el Señor.
16 He judged the cause of the poor and needy; so then it was well. Wasn’t this to know me?” says Yahweh.
17 Pero tú, ¡tú estás lleno de codicia y fraude! Matas a los inocentes, oprimes a los pobres y reinas despiadadamente.
17 But your eyes and your heart are only for your covetousness, for shedding innocent blood, for oppression, and for doing violence.”
18 Por lo tanto, esta es la condena del Señor contra el rey Joacim, quien reinó después de su padre Josías: Su familia no lo llorará cuando muera. A sus súbditos ni siquiera les importará que haya muerto. ¡Que tristeza ser echado al olvido de esa manera!
18 Therefore Yahweh says concerning Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah: “They won’t lament for him, saying, ‘Ah my brother!’ or, ‘Ah sister!’ They won’t lament for him, saying ‘Ah lord!’ or, ‘Ah his glory!’
19 Lo enterrarán como si fuera un burro: lo sacarán de Jerusalén a rastras y lo echarán en el muladar más allá de los límites de la ciudad.
19 He will be buried with the burial of a donkey, drawn and cast out beyond the gates of Jerusalem.”
20 Llora, porque se han ido tus aliados. Búscalos en el Líbano, llámalos a gritos en Basán, búscalos en los vados del Jordán. Mira, todos han muerto, no quedó ni uno que te ayude.
20 “Go up to Lebanon, and cry out. Lift up your voice in Bashan, and cry from Abarim; for all your lovers have been destroyed.
21 Cuando todo te iba bien te lo advertí, pero tú respondiste: «No me molestes». Así fuiste desde tu niñez; ¡de plano te niegas a escuchar!
21 I spoke to you in your prosperity, but you said, ‘I will not listen.’ This has been your way from your youth, that you didn’t obey my voice.
22 Y ahora todos tus aliados han desaparecido con un soplo del viento. A todos tus amigos se los llevaron como esclavos. Sin duda por fin comprenderás tu maldad y tendrás vergüenza.
22 The wind will feed all your shepherds, and your lovers will go into captivity. Surely then you will be ashamed and confounded for all your wickedness.
23 Seguro que es muy bonito vivir con elegancia en un hermoso palacio construido con madera de cedro del Líbano, pero pronto llorarás y gemirás angustiado como mujer a punto de dar a luz.
23 Inhabitant of Lebanon, who makes your nest in the cedars, how greatly to be pitied you will be when pangs come on you, the pain as of a woman in travail!
24 Y respecto a ti, Jeconías, hijo de Joacim rey de Judá, aunque tú fueras el anillo del sello en mi mano derecha, yo te sacaría y te entregaría en manos de quienes buscan tu muerte, de quienes tienes tanto miedo: Nabucodonosor rey de Babilonia y su poderoso ejército.
24 “As I live,” says Yahweh, “though Coniah the son of Jehoiakim king of Judah were the signet on my right hand, I would still pluck you from there.
25 Not in this translation
25 I would give you into the hand of those who seek your life, and into the hand of them of whom you are afraid, even into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and into the hand of the Chaldeans.
26 A ti y a tu madre los echaré de este país, y morirán en país lejano.
26 I will cast you out with your mother who bore you into another country, where you were not born; and there you will die.
27 Jamás retornarán a la tierra que tanto aman.
27 But to the land to which their soul longs to return, there they will not return.”
28 Este Jeconías es como plato quebrado y desechado. Él y sus hijos irán desterrados a tierras lejanas, igual como se desecha un plato quebrado.
28 Is this man Coniah a despised broken vessel? Is he a vessel in which no one delights? Why are they cast out, he and his offspring, and cast into a land which they don’t know?
29 ¡Ay tierra, tierra, tierra! ¡Escucha el mensaje del Señor!
29 O earth, earth, earth, hear Yahweh’s word!
30 El Señor dice: Haz constar que este Jeconías no tendrá descendencia, pues ninguno de sus hijos ocupará el trono de David ni gobernará en Judá. Su vida no tendrá ninguna importancia.
30 Yahweh says, “Record this man as childless, a man who will not prosper in his days; for no more will a man of his offspring prosper, sitting on David’s throne and ruling in Judah.”

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).
… the kingdom; Jeremiah thus declaring, "As I live, saith the Lord, if Jechoniah the son of Joachim king of Judah had been made the signet of my right hand, I would pluck him thence, and deliver him into the hand of those seeking thy life." And again: "Jechoniah is dishonoured as a useless vessel, for he has been cast into …
For Jeremiah says, "Behold, neither thine eyes nor thy heart are good; but [they are turned] to thy covetousness, and to shed innocent blood, and for injustice, and for man-slaying, that thou mayest do it." And again Isaiah saith, "Ye have taken counsel, but not of Me; and made covenants, [but] not by My Spirit." In order, therefore, that their …
