WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
1 ¡Corre, pueblo de Benjamín, sálvese quien pueda! ¡Huyan de Jerusalén! ¡Toquen alarma en el pueblo de Tecoa, envíen señales desde Bet Haqueren, adviertan a todos que desde el norte viene un poderoso ejército para destruir esta nación!
1 “Flee for safety, you children of Benjamin, out of the middle of Jerusalem! Blow the trumpet in Tekoa and raise up a signal on Beth Haccherem, for evil looks out from the north with a great destruction.
2 Indefensa como doncella eres Jerusalén, bella y delicada como pradera.
2 I will cut off the beautiful and delicate one, the daughter of Zion.
3 Pero malos pastores te rodearán. Acamparán en derredor de la ciudad y dividirán sus tierras de pastoreo para sus propios rebaños, ¡los rebaños en realidad son ejércitos!
3 Shepherds with their flocks will come to her. They will pitch their tents against her all around. They will feed everyone in his place.”
4 ¡Míralos preparándose para la batalla que comenzará a mediodía! Y aún al empezar a oscurecer continúa la batalla con toda intensidad.
4 “Prepare war against her! Arise! Let’s go up at noon. Woe to us! For the day declines, for the shadows of the evening are stretched out.
5 «¡Vamos!», dicen, «¡asaltémosla, no importa que haya llegado la noche, y destruyamos sus torreones defensivos!».
5 Arise! Let’s go up by night, and let’s destroy her palaces.”
6 Porque el Señor de los ejércitos les ha dicho: Corten árboles para emplearlos como arietes, y puedan escalar y tomar las murallas de Jerusalén. La ciudad está confundida y la gente anda desesperada de un lado para otro.
6 For Yahweh of Armies said, “Cut down trees, and cast up a mound against Jerusalem. This is the city to be visited. She is filled with oppression within herself.
7 En ella se ve la impiedad por todos lados, en sus calles resuena el eco de la violencia, gente gritando que le han robado o golpeado.
7 As a well produces its waters, so she produces her wickedness. Violence and destruction is heard in her. Sickness and wounds are continually before me.
8 Presta mucha atención, Jerusalén, no suceda que deje de quererte y permita que te arruines completamente.
8 Be instructed, Jerusalem, lest my soul be alienated from you, lest I make you a desolation, an uninhabited land.”
9 Por más que se escondan serán encontrados y castigados, ha dicho el Señor de los ejércitos. Porque con el mismo cuidado que el vendimiador examina la viña por si algo se le ha quedado, así serán buscados los que queden.
9 Yahweh of Armies says, “They will thoroughly glean the remnant of Israel like a vine. Turn again your hand as a grape gatherer into the baskets.”
10 Pero, ¿quién escuchará cuando yo los prevengo? Tienen los oídos tapados y se niegan a escuchar. La palabra de Dios sólo les causa molestia, para nada les gusta.
10 To whom should I speak and testify, that they may hear? Behold, their ear is uncircumcised, and they can’t listen. Behold, Yahweh’s word has become a reproach to them. They have no delight in it.
11 Por todo esto estoy lleno de la cólera, dice el Señor, y se me acabó la paciencia para seguir conteniéndola. La derramaré sobre Jerusalén, aun sobre los niños que juegan en las calles, sobre las reuniones de jóvenes, sobre los esposos y las esposas y los abuelos.
11 Therefore I am full of Yahweh’s wrath. I am weary with holding it in. “Pour it out on the children in the street, and on the assembly of young men together; for even the husband with the wife will be taken, the aged with him who is full of days.
12 Sus enemigos se adueñarán de sus casas, campos y mujeres. Pues voy a castigar al pueblo de este país, ha dicho el Señor.
12 Their houses will be turned to others, their fields and their wives together; for I will stretch out my hand on the inhabitants of the land, says Yahweh.”
13 Son estafadores y engañadores, desde el más pequeño hasta el más encumbrado. ¡Sí, hasta mis profetas y sacerdotes! Todos piensan sólo en cómo aprovecharse de los demás.
13 “For from their least even to their greatest, everyone is given to covetousness. From the prophet even to the priest, everyone deals falsely.
14 No se puede sanar una herida con sólo decir que no existe. Sin embargo, los sacerdotes y profetas dan seguridad de paz cuando todo es guerra.
14 They have healed also the hurt of my people superficially, saying, ‘Peace, peace!’ when there is no peace.
15 ¿Se avergonzaba mi pueblo cuando adoraba ídolos? ¡No, en absoluto, ni siquiera se ruborizaba! Por eso yacerán entre los muertos, morirán cuando yo los castigue, dice el Señor.
15 Were they ashamed when they had committed abomination? No, they were not at all ashamed, neither could they blush. Therefore they will fall among those who fall. When I visit them, they will be cast down,” says Yahweh.
16 El Señor les dio el mejor consejo: Pregunten dónde está el buen camino, las instrucciones justas en las que antes se orientaban, y vuelvan a vivir conforme a ellas. ¡Ya verán lo bien que se sentirán por ello! Pero responden: «¡No, estamos bien así!».
16 Yahweh says, “Stand in the ways and see, and ask for the old paths, ‘Where is the good way?’ and walk in it, and you will find rest for your souls. But they said, ‘We will not walk in it.’
17 Luego puse sobre ustedes vigías que les advirtieran: «¡Escuchen el sonido de la trompeta! Les indicará cuando una desgracia se acerque». Pero dijeron: «¡No, no pondremos atención!».
17 I set watchmen over you, saying, ‘Listen to the sound of the trumpet!’ But they said, ‘We will not listen!’
18 Por lo tanto, este es el decreto contra mi pueblo. ¡Escúchenlo, pueblos que viven lejos, escúchalo, pueblo mío de Jerusalén, escúchelo la tierra entera! Traeré desgracia sobre este pueblo; será el fruto de su pecado, pues no quieren seguir mis instrucciones, rechazan mi ley.
18 Therefore hear, you nations, and know, congregation, what is among them.
19 Not in this translation
19 Hear, earth! Behold, I will bring evil on this people, even the fruit of their thoughts, because they have not listened to my words; and as for my law, they have rejected it.
20 ¡No sirve de nada quemar en mi presencia dulce incienso de Sabá! ¡Guárdense sus caros perfumes! No voy a aceptar sus ofrendas; no me agradan en lo más mínimo.
20 To what purpose does frankincense from Sheba come to me, and the sweet cane from a far country? Your burnt offerings are not acceptable, and your sacrifices are not pleasing to me.”
21 Volveré muy difícil el camino de mi pueblo; padres e hijos se verán burlados, juntos caerán amigos y vecinos, dice el Señor.
21 Therefore Yahweh says, “Behold, I will lay stumbling blocks before this people. The fathers and the sons together will stumble against them. The neighbor and his friend will perish.”
22 El Señor dice: ¡Vean los ejércitos que marchan desde el norte, una nación poderosa se lanza contra ustedes!
22 Yahweh says, “Behold, a people comes from the north country. A great nation will be stirred up from the uttermost parts of the earth.
23 Son un pueblo cruel y despiadado, jinetes expertos y disciplinados, armado hasta los dientes, en pie de guerra. Es tan grande que su avance produce un escándalo como rugido de mar.
23 They take hold of bow and spear. They are cruel, and have no mercy. Their voice roars like the sea, and they ride on horses, everyone set in array, as a man to the battle, against you, daughter of Zion.”
24 La fama de sus ejércitos hemos oído, y el miedo nos debilita. El miedo y el dolor nos atenazan como a mujer a punto de dar a luz.
24 We have heard its report. Our hands become feeble. Anguish has taken hold of us, and pains as of a woman in labor.
25 ¡No salgan a los campos! ¡No viajen por los caminos! Porque el enemigo está rondando por todas partes, listo para la matanza. ¡Hay terror en cada rincón!
25 Don’t go out into the field or walk by the way; for the sword of the enemy and terror are on every side.
26 ¡Ay Jerusalén, orgullo de mi pueblo, vístete de luto y siéntate sobre cenizas a llorar amargamente como por la muerte de un hijo único, porque en seguida caerán sobre ti los ejércitos destructores!
26 Daughter of my people, clothe yourself with sackcloth, and wallow in ashes! Mourn, as for an only son, most bitter lamentation, for the destroyer will suddenly come on us.
27 Jeremías, te he puesto como probador de la conducta de mi pueblo, para que lo examinaras con toda atención.
27 “I have made you a tester of metals and a fortress among my people, that you may know and try their way.
28 ¿No son acaso los peores rebeldes, grandes calumniadores? Son de mala calidad, como bronce y hierro, unos degenerados.
28 They are all grievous rebels, going around to slander. They are bronze and iron. All of them deal corruptly.
29 El fuelle sopla a toda intensidad, el fuego refinador es cada vez más candente, pero no podrá purificarlos, pues de ellos no puede ya desprenderse su impureza.
29 The bellows blow fiercely. The lead is consumed in the fire. In vain they go on refining, for the wicked are not plucked away.
30 Habrá que ponerles un letrero que diga: «Impuros, plata rechazada», porque el Señor los ha rechazado.
30 Men will call them rejected silver, because Yahweh has rejected them.”

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).
Your whole burnt-offerings and sacrifices are not acceptable to Me;" He proceeds: "Hear the word of the Lord, all Judah.
