1 El siguiente mensaje del Señor para todo el pueblo de Judá le fue dado a Jeremías en el cuarto año del reinado del rey Joacim de Judá, hijo de Josías. Este fue el año que comenzó a reinar Nabucodonosor como rey de Babilonia.
1 The word that came to Jeremiah concerning all the people of Judah, in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah (this was the first year of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon),
2 Desde hace veintitrés años, dijo Jeremías, desde el año decimotercero del reinado de Josías, hijo de Amón, rey de Judá, hasta el presente, el Señor ha estado enviándoles sus mensajes. Fielmente se los he transmitido, pero ustedes no han querido escucharlos.
2 which Jeremiah the prophet spoke to all the people of Judah, and to all the inhabitants of Jerusalem:
3 Not in this translation
3 From the thirteenth year of Josiah the son of Amon, king of Judah, even to this day, these twenty-three years, Yahweh’s word has come to me, and I have spoken to you, rising up early and speaking; but you have not listened.
4 Durante mucho tiempo el Señor les ha enviado sus profetas, pero ustedes se han negado a oír.
4 Yahweh has sent to you all his servants the prophets, rising up early and sending them (but you have not listened or inclined your ear to hear),
5 En cada ocasión el mensaje fue: Dejen sus malas conductas y abandonen las maldades que están cometiendo. Sólo así pueden seguir viviendo aquí en esta tierra que el Señor les dio a ustedes y a sus antepasados para siempre.
5 saying, “Return now everyone from his evil way, and from the evil of your doings, and dwell in the land that Yahweh has given to you and to your fathers, from of old and even forever more.
6 No me hagan enojar rindiéndole homenaje a ídolos; pero si me son leales no les haré daño.
6 Don’t go after other gods to serve them or worship them, and don’t provoke me to anger with the work of your hands; then I will do you no harm.”
7 Pero no quieren escuchar; tercos, me han enfurecido con sus ídolos. Así se han hecho merecedores de todo el mal que se les ha venido encima.
7 “Yet you have not listened to me,” says Yahweh, “that you may provoke me to anger with the work of your hands to your own hurt.”
8 Y ahora el Señor de los ejércitos dice: Como no me han escuchado, reuniré todos los ejércitos del norte al mando de Nabucodonosor, rey de Babilonia, a quien he nombrado mi representante, y los traeré a todos contra este país y su pueblo y contra las demás naciones cercanas a ustedes. Los destruiré totalmente y los convertiré en refrán burlesco para siempre.
8 Therefore Yahweh of Armies says: “Because you have not heard my words,
9 Not in this translation
9 behold, I will send and take all the families of the north,” says Yahweh, “and I will send to Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, my servant, and will bring them against this land, and against its inhabitants, and against all these nations around. I will utterly destroy them, and make them an astonishment, and a hissing, and perpetual desolations.
10 Los despojaré de su gozo, su alegría y sus fiestas nupciales. Fracasarán sus empresas y todas sus casas estarán tristes y sin luz.
10 Moreover I will take from them the voice of mirth and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride, the sound of the millstones, and the light of the lamp.
11 Todo este país se convertirá en un arenal desolado; todo mundo quedará con la boca abierta de asombro ante el desastre que les llegará. Durante setenta años Israel y las naciones vecinas servirán al rey de Babilonia.
11 This whole land will be a desolation, and an astonishment; and these nations will serve the king of Babylon seventy years.
12 Después, pasados los setenta años de esclavitud, castigaré al rey de Babilonia y a su pueblo por sus maldades. En eternas ruinas convertiré el país de Caldea, mejor conocido como Babilonia.
12 “It will happen, when seventy years are accomplished, that I will punish the king of Babylon and that nation,” says Yahweh, “for their iniquity. I will make the land of the Chaldeans desolate forever.
13◆ Traeré sobre ellos todos los terrores que he prometido en este rollo, todas las penas anunciadas por Jeremías contra las naciones.
13 I will bring on that land all my words which I have pronounced against it, even all that is written in this book, which Jeremiah has prophesied against all the nations.
14 Porque muchas naciones y grandes reyes esclavizarán a los caldeos así como ellos esclavizaron a mi pueblo; los castigaré en proporción al trato que ellos le dieron a mi pueblo.
14 For many nations and great kings will make bondservants of them, even of them. I will recompense them according to their deeds, and according to the work of their hands.”
15 Porque el Señor, el Dios de Israel, me dijo: Toma de mi mano esta copa en que rebosa mi gran cólera y haz que de ella beban todas las naciones a quienes te envío.
15 For Yahweh, the God of Israel, says to me: “Take this cup of the wine of wrath from my hand, and cause all the nations to whom I send you to drink it.
16 Al beber de ella se tambalearán como borrachas, enloquecidas por los golpes mortales que haré caer sobre ellas.
16 They will drink, and reel back and forth, and be insane, because of the sword that I will send among them.”
17 Tomé entonces la copa de cólera que el Señor me daba e hice que bebieran de ella todas las naciones, cada nación a la que el Señor me envió.
17 Then I took the cup at Yahweh’s hand, and made all the nations to drink, to whom Yahweh had sent me:
18 Fui a Jerusalén y a las ciudades de Judá, y sus reyes y príncipes bebieron de la copa, de modo que desde entonces han estado en desolación, detestados y maldecidos, hasta el día de hoy.
18 Jerusalem, and the cities of Judah, with its kings and its princes, to make them a desolation, an astonishment, a hissing, and a curse, as it is today;
19 Fui a Egipto, y el faraón y sus siervos, los príncipes y el pueblo, bebieron también de la terrible copa, junto con los extranjeros que habitaban su país. Igual hicieron los reyes de la tierra de Uz y los reyes de las ciudades filisteas Ascalón, Gaza, Ecrón y lo que de Asdod quedaba.
19 Pharaoh king of Egypt, with his servants, his princes, and all his people;
20 Not in this translation
20 and all the mixed people, and all the kings of the land of Uz, all the kings of the Philistines, Ashkelon, Gaza, Ekron, and the remnant of Ashdod;
21 Visité también las naciones de Edom, Moab y Amón;
21 Edom, Moab, and the children of Ammon;
22 a los reyes de Tiro y de Sidón; a los reyes de las regiones que están al otro lado del mar;
22 and all the kings of Tyre, all the kings of Sidon, and the kings of the isle which is beyond the sea;
23 a Dedán, a Temá y a Buz, y a los otros que están allí;
23 Dedan, Tema, Buz, and all who have the corners of their beard cut off;
24 a los reyes de Arabia y a los de las tribus nómadas del desierto;
24 and all the kings of Arabia, all the kings of the mixed people who dwell in the wilderness;
25 a los reyes de Zimri, Elam y Media;
25 and all the kings of Zimri, all the kings of Elam, and all the kings of the Medes;
26 y a todos los reyes de los países del norte, lejanos y cercanos, unos tras otros; y a todos los reinos del mundo. Y finalmente el propio rey de Babilonia bebió de esta copa de la cólera del Señor.
26 and all the kings of the north, far and near, one with another; and all the kingdoms of the world, which are on the surface of the earth. The king of Sheshach will drink after them.
27 Diles: El Señor de los ejércitos, el Dios de Israel, dice: Beban de esta copa de mi cólera hasta que estén borrachos; vomiten y caigan para no levantarse más, porque envío terribles guerras sobre ustedes.
27 “You shall tell them, ‘Yahweh of Armies, the God of Israel says: “Drink, and be drunk, vomit, fall, and rise no more, because of the sword which I will send among you.”’
28 Y si rechazan la copa, diles: El Señor de los ejércitos dice que tienen que beber. ¡No pueden rehuirla!
28 It shall be, if they refuse to take the cup at your hand to drink, then you shall tell them, ‘Yahweh of Armies says: “You shall surely drink.
29 A mi propio pueblo he comenzado a castigarlo. ¿Habrían de escapar ustedes? ¡No, no evadirán el castigo! Lanzaré a guerra contra todos los pueblos de la tierra, dice el Señor de los ejércitos.
29 For, behold, I begin to work evil at the city which is called by my name; and should you be utterly unpunished? You will not be unpunished; for I will call for a sword on all the inhabitants of the earth, says Yahweh of Armies.”’
30 Por lo tanto, profetiza contra ellos. Diles que desde su santo templo tronará el Señor contra los suyos y contra todos los habitantes de la tierra. Gritará de coraje, y tan fuerte como lo hacen los que en la vendimia exprimen el jugo de las uvas bajo sus pies.
30 “Therefore prophesy against them all these words, and tell them, “‘Yahweh will roar from on high, and utter his voice from his holy habitation. He will mightily roar against his fold. He will give a shout, as those who tread grapes, against all the inhabitants of the earth.
31 Aquel grito que anuncia el castigo retumbará hasta los últimos rincones más apartados de la tierra, porque el Señor echa pleito contra las naciones, contra toda la humanidad. A todos los malvados los hace caer en la guerra, dice el Señor.
31 A noise will come even to the end of the earth; for Yahweh has a controversy with the nations. He will enter into judgment with all flesh. As for the wicked, he will give them to the sword,”’ says Yahweh.”
32 ¡Miren, dice el Señor de los ejércitos, mi castigo irá de nación en nación; un gran torbellino destructor alcanzará los límites más alejados de la tierra!
32 Yahweh of Armies says, “Behold, evil will go out from nation to nation, and a great storm will be raised up from the uttermost parts of the earth.”
33 Aquel día los muertos a manos del Señor llenarán la tierra de cabo a cabo. Nadie los llorará ni recogerá los cadáveres para enterrarlos; serán abono para la tierra.
33 The slain of Yahweh will be at that day from one end of the earth even to the other end of the earth. They won’t be lamented. They won’t be gathered or buried. They will be dung on the surface of the ground.
34 Lloren y giman, malos pastores; golpéense la cabeza contra las piedras los líderes de las naciones, porque ha llegado el tiempo de su destrucción y dispersión. Caerán como frágiles objetos destinados a ser destruidos.
34 Wail, you shepherds, and cry. Wallow in dust, you leader of the flock; for the days of your slaughter and of your dispersions have fully come, and you will fall like fine pottery.
35 Los pastores y demás líderes no hallarán dónde esconderse ni por dónde escapar.
35 The shepherds will have no way to flee. The leader of the flock will have no escape.
36 Escuchen los frenéticos gritos de los pastores y de los otros líderes que claman desesperados porque el Señor ha arruinado sus pastos.
36 A voice of the cry of the shepherds, and the wailing of the leader of the flock, for Yahweh destroys their pasture.
37 Los que ahora viven a sus anchas serán truncados por la ferocidad de la cólera del Señor.
37 The peaceful folds are brought to silence because of the fierce anger of Yahweh.
38 El Señor ha salido como león que sale de su cubil en busca de presa. Su tierra ha sido asolada por ejércitos en guerra, provocados por la tremenda cólera del Señor.
38 He has left his covert, as the lion; for their land has become an astonishment because of the fierceness of the oppression, and because of his fierce anger.

Why does my Bible say something different?
- Jeremiah: a shorter book in a different order
The Greek Septuagint of Jeremiah is markedly shorter than the Hebrew text and arranges the book differently: the oracles against the nations come in the middle, after 25:13, not at the end. Hebrew fragments from Qumran show that a shorter Hebrew form of Jeremiah really existed. Many scholars think Jeremiah circulated in two editions.
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).
… mouth." And their force is exactly the same, either when multiplied by ten, as seventy and seven hundred (whence the seventy years mentioned in Jeremiah may be taken in a spiritual sense for the whole time during which the Church is a sojourner among aliens); or when multiplied into themselves, as ten into ten gives one hundred, and twelve into …
