1◆ Estos son los mensajes que el Señor le dio a Jeremías respecto a las naciones extranjeras. Respecto a los egipcios:
1 Yahweh’s word which came to Jeremiah the prophet concerning the nations.
2 Este mensaje se dio contra Egipto en ocasión de la batalla de Carquemis, cuando el faraón Necao, rey de Egipto, y su ejército fueron derrotados junto al río Éufrates por Nabucodonosor, rey de Babilonia, el cuarto año del reinado de Joacim, hijo de Josías, rey de Judá:
2 Of Egypt: concerning the army of Pharaoh Necoh king of Egypt, which was by the river Euphrates in Carchemish, which Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon struck in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah.
3 ¡Egipcios, cíñanse la armadura y marchen a la batalla!
3 “Prepare the buckler and shield, and draw near to battle!
4 Ensillen los caballos y prepárense para cabalgar; pónganse los yelmos, afilen las espadas y pónganse la armadura.
4 Harness the horses, and get up, you horsemen, and stand up with your helmets. Polish the spears, put on the coats of mail.
5 ¡Pero vean lo que acontece! El ejército egipcio huye atemorizado; los más valerosos de sus soldados corren sin volver la mirada. Sí, el terror los rodeará por todos lados, dice el Señor.
5 Why have I seen it? They are dismayed and are turned backward. Their mighty ones are beaten down, have fled in haste, and don’t look back. Terror is on every side,” says Yahweh.
6 No escapará ni el más veloz, ni el más fuerte de los guerreros. En el norte, junto al río Éufrates, han tropezado y caído.
6 “Don’t let the swift flee away, nor the mighty man escape. In the north by the river Euphrates they have stumbled and fallen.
7 ¿Qué es este potente ejército que se alza como el Nilo en el tiempo de la creciente, inundando toda la tierra?
7 “Who is this who rises up like the Nile, like rivers whose waters surge?
8 Es el ejército egipcio, que presume de que cubrirá la tierra como si fuera inundación, y que destruirá a todo enemigo.
8 Egypt rises up like the Nile, like rivers whose waters surge. He says, ‘I will rise up. I will cover the earth. I will destroy cities and its inhabitants.’
9 ¡Vengan pues, caballos, carrozas de guerra y fuertes guerreros de Egipto! ¡Vengan, todos los de Cus y Fut, que empuñan el escudo y preparan sus armas para entrar en la batalla!
9 Go up, you horses! Rage, you chariots! Let the mighty men go out: Cush and Put, who handle the shield; and the Ludim, who handle and bend the bow.
10 Porque hoy es el día del Señor Dios de los ejércitos, el día de venganza contra sus enemigos. La espada herirá hasta saciarse, sí, derramará sangre por todos lados, porque el Señor Dios de los ejércitos recibirá hoy un sacrificio en la tierra del norte, junto al río Éufrates.
10 For that day is of the Lord, Yahweh of Armies, a day of vengeance, that he may avenge himself of his adversaries. The sword will devour and be satiated, and will drink its fill of their blood; for the Lord, Yahweh of Armies, has a sacrifice in the north country by the river Euphrates.
11 ¡Ve a Galaad en busca de remedio, oh virgen, hija de Egipto! ¡Pero no hay remedio para tus heridas, aunque hayas usado muchas medicinas, no hay salvación para ti!
11 Go up into Gilead, and take balm, virgin daughter of Egypt. You use many medicines in vain. There is no healing for you.
12 Las naciones han oído de la vergüenza tuya. Por todas partes se escucha tu clamor de desesperación y derrota. Tus más poderosos soldados tropezarán unos con otros y caerán juntos.
12 The nations have heard of your shame, and the earth is full of your cry; for the mighty man has stumbled against the mighty, they both fall together.”
13 Entonces el Señor dio a Jeremías este mensaje respecto a la venida de Nabucodonosor, rey de Babilonia, para atacar a Egipto:
13 The word that Yahweh spoke to Jeremiah the prophet, how that Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon should come and strike the land of Egypt:
14 ¡Grítalo en Egipto, publícalo en las ciudades de Migdol, Menfis y Tafnes! Es mejor que no emprendas ninguna acción, no te movilices para la guerra, porque las armas del enemigo acabarán de cualquier modo con todo en torno tuyo.
14 “Declare in Egypt, publish in Migdol, and publish in Memphis and in Tahpanhes; say, ‘Stand up, and prepare, for the sword has devoured around you.’
15 ¿Por qué ha huido aterrorizado Apis, su dios toro? ¡Porque el Señor lo derribó ante sus enemigos!
15 Why are your strong ones swept away? They didn’t stand, because Yahweh pushed them.
16 Enormes multitudes caen amontonadas. (Entonces el grupo de sobrevivientes de los judíos dirá: «¡Vengan, regresemos a Judá en donde nacimos, y alejémonos de toda esta matanza!»).
16 He made many to stumble. Yes, they fell on one another. They said, ‘Arise! Let’s go again to our own people, and to the land of our birth, from the oppressing sword.’
17 ¡Cámbienle el nombre al faraón Hofra y llámenlo «Varón sin poder pero de mucho ruido»!
17 They cried there, ‘Pharaoh king of Egypt is but a noise; he has let the appointed time pass by.’
18 ¡Téngalo por absolutamente seguro, dice el Rey, el Señor de los ejércitos, que viene contra Egipto uno tan alto como el monte Tabor o el monte Carmelo junto al mar!
18 “As I live,” says the King, whose name is Yahweh of Armies, “surely like Tabor among the mountains, and like Carmel by the sea, so he will come.
19 ¡Alisten el equipaje, prepárense a partir al exilio, ciudadanos de Egipto, porque la ciudad de Menfis será totalmente destruida y dejada sin persona viva!
19 You daughter who dwells in Egypt, furnish yourself to go into captivity; for Memphis will become a desolation, and will be burned up, without inhabitant.
20 Egipto es hermoso como becerra pero un tábano la hace correr, ¡un tábano que viene del norte! Hasta sus famosos mercenarios se han vuelto como asustados terneros. Corren y corren porque es día de gran calamidad para Egipto, es un tiempo de tremendo castigo.
20 “Egypt is a very beautiful heifer; but destruction out of the north has come. It has come.
21 Not in this translation
21 Also her hired men in the middle of her are like calves of the stall, for they also are turned back. They have fled away together. They didn’t stand, for the day of their calamity has come on them, the time of their visitation.
22 Silencioso como serpiente que se desliza, huye Egipto. Entra el ejército invasor. Los innumerables soldados tronchan a su pueblo como si fueran leñadores que abren un claro en el bosque.
22 Its sound will go like the serpent, for they will march with an army, and come against her with axes, as wood cutters.
23 Not in this translation
23 They will cut down her forest,” says Yahweh, “though it can’t be searched; because they are more than the locusts, and are innumerable.
24 Indefensa como muchachita es Egipto ante estos hombres del norte.
24 The daughter of Egypt will be disappointed; she will be delivered into the hand of the people of the north.”
25 El Señor de los ejércitos, el Dios de Israel, dice: Castigaré a Amón, dios de Tebas, y a los demás dioses de Egipto. Castigaré también al faraón y a cuantos en él confían.
25 Yahweh of Armies, the God of Israel, says: “Behold, I will punish Amon of No, and Pharaoh, and Egypt, with her gods and her kings, even Pharaoh, and those who trust in him.
26 Los entregaré en poder de quienes quieren matarlos, en poder de Nabucodonosor, rey de Babilonia, y de su ejército. Pero luego la tierra se recuperará de los desastres de la guerra, y será repoblada.
26 I will deliver them into the hand of those who seek their lives, and into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and into the hand of his servants. Afterwards it will be inhabited, as in the days of old,” says Yahweh.
27 ¡Pero tú no temas, oh pueblo mío que regresas a tu tierra, no te desanimes, porque yo te salvaré allá lejos y te traeré a tus hijos y a tus hijas desde tierra lejana! ¡Sí, Israel retornará a su tierra y tendrá reposo y nada lo asustará!
27 “But don’t you be afraid, Jacob my servant. Don’t be dismayed, Israel; for, behold, I will save you from afar, and your offspring from the land of their captivity. Jacob will return, and will be quiet and at ease. No one will make him afraid.
28 ¡No temas, oh Jacob, siervo mío, dice el Señor, porque yo estoy contigo! Yo destruiré a todas las naciones a las cuales te he enviado cautivo, pero a ti no te destruiré. Yo te castigaré, pero únicamente lo que baste para corregirte.
28 Don’t be afraid, O Jacob my servant,” says Yahweh, “for I am with you; for I will make a full end of all the nations where I have driven you, but I will not make a full end of you, but I will correct you in measure, and will in no way leave you unpunished.”

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.
