1 Vino a Jeremías este mensaje de parte del Señor durante el primer año del reinado de Joacim, hijo de Josías, rey de Judá:
1 In the beginning of the reign of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, this word came from Yahweh:
2 Ponte frente al templo del Señor y dale un anuncio a todo el pueblo que desde muchos sitios de Judá se ha congregado allí para ofrecer culto. Dales el mensaje completo, no descartes ni una sola de las palabras que tengo para que las escuchen.
2 “Yahweh says: ‘Stand in the court of Yahweh’s house, and speak to all the cities of Judah which come to worship in Yahweh’s house, all the words that I command you to speak to them. Don’t omit a word.
3 Porque tal vez escuchen y se detengan de hacer tantas maldades y entonces pueda yo aguantarme de darles el castigo que se merecen por sus malas acciones.
3 It may be they will listen, and every man turn from his evil way, that I may relent from the evil which I intend to do to them because of the evil of their doings.’”
4 Diles de parte del Señor: Si no escuchan y obedecen las instrucciones que les he dado,
4 You shall tell them, “Yahweh says: ‘If you will not listen to me, to walk in my law which I have set before you,
5 y si no ponen atención a lo que les dicen mis servidores los profetas —pues una y otra vez los he enviado para prevenirlos, pero no han querido hacerles caso—,
5 to listen to the words of my servants the prophets whom I send to you, even rising up early and sending them—but you have not listened—
6 destruiré este templo, como destruí el templo de Siló, y haré que sobre Jerusalén se digan toda clase de tristes historias, como ciudad maldecida.
6 then I will make this house like Shiloh, and will make this city a curse to all the nations of the earth.’”
7 Cuando Jeremías terminó su mensaje, luego que dijo todo cuanto el Señor le había ordenado, los sacerdotes, los falsos profetas y todo el pueblo reunido en el templo se le echaron encima gritando: ―¡Muera! ¡Muera!
7 The priests and the prophets and all the people heard Jeremiah speaking these words in Yahweh’s house.
8 Not in this translation
8 When Jeremiah had finished speaking all that Yahweh had commanded him to speak to all the people, the priests and the prophets and all the people seized him, saying, “You shall surely die!
9 ¿Qué derecho tienes para decir que el Señor destruirá este templo como hizo con el de Siló? ¿Qué es eso de que Jerusalén será destruida y nadie se salvará?
9 Why have you prophesied in Yahweh’s name, saying, ‘This house will be like Shiloh, and this city will be desolate, without inhabitant’?” All the people were crowded around Jeremiah in Yahweh’s house.
10 Cuando los altos dignatarios de Judá oyeron lo que ocurría, acudieron aprisa desde el palacio y se sentaron a la entrada principal del templo para entablar un juicio.
10 When the princes of Judah heard these things, they came up from the king’s house to Yahweh’s house; and they sat in the entry of the new gate of Yahweh’s house.
11 Los sacerdotes y los falsos profetas presentaron sus cargos contra Jeremías ante los dignatarios y el pueblo: ―Este hombre merece morir —decían—. Con sus propios oídos han oído su traición, pues ha declarado que esta ciudad será destruida.
11 Then the priests and the prophets spoke to the princes and to all the people, saying, “This man is worthy of death, for he has prophesied against this city, as you have heard with your ears.”
12 Jeremías habló en defensa propia: ―Ha sido el Señor quien me ha enviado para anunciar la destrucción de este templo y esta ciudad. Él me dio cada una de las palabras que he pronunciado.
12 Then Jeremiah spoke to all the princes and to all the people, saying, “Yahweh sent me to prophesy against this house and against this city all the words that you have heard.
13 Pero si dejan de cometer tantas maldades y comienzan a seguir las instrucciones del Señor su Dios, él revocará todo el castigo que ha anunciado contra ustedes.
13 Now therefore amend your ways and your doings, and obey Yahweh your God’s voice; then Yahweh will relent from the evil that he has pronounced against you.
14 En lo que a mí toca, indefenso estoy en poder de ustedes, hagan de mí lo que quieran.
14 But as for me, behold, I am in your hand. Do with me what is good and right in your eyes.
15 Pero una cosa sí les digo: Si me matan serán culpables de la muerte de un inocente, y la responsabilidad recaerá sobre esta ciudad y cuantos en ella viven, porque es absolutamente cierto que el Señor fue quien me envió a decir cada una de las palabras que de mí han oído.
15 Only know for certain that if you put me to death, you will bring innocent blood on yourselves, on this city, and on its inhabitants; for in truth Yahweh has sent me to you to speak all these words in your ears.”
16 Los dignatarios y el pueblo dijeron al sacerdote y a los falsos profetas: ―Este hombre no es digno de muerte, pues nos ha hablado en nombre del Señor nuestro Dios.
16 Then the princes and all the people said to the priests and to the prophets: “This man is not worthy of death; for he has spoken to us in the name of Yahweh our God.”
17 Entonces uno de los sabios ancianos se puso de pie y habló a todo el pueblo que lo rodeaba:
17 Then certain of the elders of the land rose up, and spoke to all the assembly of the people, saying,
18 ―Esa es una decisión correcta, pues ya en el pasado, cuando Miqueas, el de Moréset, profetizó en tiempo del reinado de Ezequías de Judá, y comunicó al pueblo que Dios decía: “Este monte será arado como si fuera un campo de labranza y esta ciudad de Jerusalén será convertida en montones de piedra, y en su cumbre habrá sólo un matorral, en donde hoy está el gran templo”.
18 “Micah the Morashtite prophesied in the days of Hezekiah king of Judah; and he spoke to all the people of Judah, saying, ‘Yahweh of Armies says: “‘Zion will be plowed as a field, and Jerusalem will become heaps, and the mountain of the house as the high places of a forest.’
19 Pero, ¿lo mataron acaso el rey Ezequías y el pueblo por decir eso? No, sino que dejaron sus actos malvados y rindieron homenaje al Señor y le suplicaron que tuviera misericordia de ellos. Y el Señor no les envió el terrible castigo que les había preparado. Si por comunicarnos los mensajes de Dios matamos a Jeremías, ¡quién sabe qué nos hará el Señor!
19 Did Hezekiah king of Judah and all Judah put him to death? Didn’t he fear Yahweh, and entreat the favor of Yahweh, and Yahweh relented of the disaster which he had pronounced against them? We would commit great evil against our own souls that way!”
20 Urías, hijo de Semaías, de Quiriat Yearín, otro verdadero mensajero del Señor, denunciaba a la ciudad y al pueblo al mismo tiempo que Jeremías.
20 There was also a man who prophesied in Yahweh’s name, Uriah the son of Shemaiah of Kiriath Jearim; and he prophesied against this city and against this land according to all the words of Jeremiah.
21 Pero cuando el rey Joacim, los oficiales del ejército y los dignatarios oyeron lo que decía, el rey envió a matarlo. Urías se enteró de la orden y huyó a Egipto.
21 When Jehoiakim the king, with all his mighty men and all the princes heard his words, the king sought to put him to death; but when Uriah heard it, he was afraid, and fled, and went into Egypt.
22 Para capturar a Urías, el rey Joacim envió a Egipto a Elnatán, hijo de Acbor, con varios hombres más.
22 Then Jehoiakim the king sent Elnathan the son of Achbor and certain men with him into Egypt.
23 Lo apresaron y lo llevaron de regreso ante el rey Joacim, el cual lo hizo atravesar con una espada y luego mandó que lo enterraran en un sepulcro desconocido.
23 They fetched Uriah out of Egypt and brought him to Jehoiakim the king, who killed him with the sword and cast his dead body into the graves of the common people.
24 Entonces Ajicán, hijo de Safán, secretario del rey, estuvo a favor de Jeremías y persuadió al tribunal para que no lo entregara a la muerte en manos del populacho.
24 But the hand of Ahikam the son of Shaphan was with Jeremiah, so that they didn’t give him into the hand of the people to put him to death.
