PDT God's Word for You (Latin American Textual Bible)
WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
1 Baja, siéntate en el polvo, oh virgen hija de Babilonia. Siéntate en el suelo sin trono, oh hija de los caldeos, porque ya no serás llamada tierna y delicada.
1 “Come down and sit in the dust, virgin daughter of Babylon. Sit on the ground without a throne, daughter of the Chaldeans. For you will no longer be called tender and delicate.
2 Toma las piedras del molino y muele el grano. Quítate tu velo y despójate de tu ropa larga. Descubre piernas y cruza los ríos.
2 Take the millstones and grind flour. Remove your veil, lift up your skirt, uncover your legs, and wade through the rivers.
3 Que se descubra tu desnudez y se vea tu vergüenza. Tomaré venganza y no habrá quien interceda.
3 Your nakedness will be uncovered. Yes, your shame will be seen. I will take vengeance, and will spare no one.”
4 Nuestro Redentor, cuyo Nombre es Yavé de las huestes, el Santo de Israel, dice:
4 Our Redeemer, Yahweh of Armies is his name, is the Holy One of Israel.
5 Siéntate y calla. Entra en la oscuridad, oh hija de los caldeos, porque nunca más te volverán a llamar soberana de reinos.
5 “Sit in silence, and go into darkness, daughter of the Chaldeans. For you shall no longer be called the mistress of kingdoms.
6 Airado contra mi pueblo, profané mi heredad y la entregué en tu mano. No tuviste compasión de ellos. Pusiste un yugo muy pesado sobre los ancianos
6 I was angry with my people. I profaned my inheritance and gave them into your hand. You showed them no mercy. You laid a very heavy yoke on the aged.
7 y dijiste: Seré una reina para siempre. Estas cosas hiciste sin considerar ni recordar el posterior resultado de ellas.
7 You said, ‘I will be a princess forever,’ so that you didn’t lay these things to your heart, nor did you remember the results.
8 Ahora pues, escucha esto, oh mujer sensual que vives confiadamente y dices en tu corazón: Yo soy y ninguno hay además de mí. No quedaré viuda, ni experimentaré la pérdida de hijos.
8 “Now therefore hear this, you who are given to pleasures, who sit securely, who say in your heart, ‘I am, and there is no one else besides me. I won’t sit as a widow, neither will I know the loss of children.’
9 Estas dos cosas te vendrán de repente en un mismo día: viudez y pérdida de hijos, a pesar de la multitud de tus hechicerías y de tus numerosos encantamientos.
9 But these two things will come to you in a moment in one day: the loss of children and widowhood. They will come on you in their full measure, in the multitude of your sorceries, and the great abundance of your enchantments.
10 Porque te confiaste en tu maldad y dijiste: Nadie me ve. Tu sabiduría y tu misma ciencia te engañaron. Dijiste en tu corazón: Yo y nadie más.
10 For you have trusted in your wickedness. You have said, ‘No one sees me.’ Your wisdom and your knowledge has perverted you. You have said in your heart, ‘I am, and there is no one else besides me.’
11 Vendrá sobre ti un mal que no podrás conjurar. De repente caerá sobre ti una destrucción de la cual no sabes.
11 Therefore disaster will come on you. You won’t know when it dawns. Mischief will fall on you. You won’t be able to put it away. Desolation will come on you suddenly, which you don’t understand.
12 Persiste ahora en tus encantamientos y en tus numerosas hechicerías, con las cuales te desvelaste desde tu juventud. Quizás puedas sacar algún provecho, quizás puedas ocasionar terror.
12 “Stand now with your enchantments and with the multitude of your sorceries, in which you have labored from your youth, as if you might profit, as if you might prevail.
13 Estás agotada con tus numerosos consejos. ¡Que se levanten los astrónomos, los que observan las estrellas y los pronosticadores mensuales, y que te salven de lo que vendrá sobre ti!
13 You are wearied in the multitude of your counsels. Now let the astrologers, the stargazers, and the monthly prognosticators stand up and save you from the things that will happen to you.
14 Ciertamente serán como pasto seco, y el fuego los consumirá. No podrán librar su vida del poder de las llamas. No quedarán brasas para calentarse, ni lumbre ante la cual se sienten.
14 Behold, they are like stubble. The fire will burn them. They won’t deliver themselves from the power of the flame. It won’t be a coal to warm at or a fire to sit by.
15 Así fueron para ti aquellos con quienes te afanaste, aquellos con quienes trataste desde tu juventud. Andarán errantes, cada uno vagará por su lado. No habrá quien te salve.
15 The things that you labored in will be like this: those who have trafficked with you from your youth will each wander in his own way. There will be no one to save you.

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).
… heed, pray, to astrologers; for of these the divine Scripture saith, Let the stargazers of the heaven stand up and save thee, and what follows: Behold, they all shall be consumed as stubble on the fire, and shall not deliver their soul from the flame.
