WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
1 Yavé me dijo: Vé, cómprate un cinturón de lino y átalo a tu cintura, pero no lo metas en agua.
1 Yahweh said to me, “Go, and buy yourself a linen belt, and put it on your waist, and don’t put it in water.”
2 Compré el cinturón, conforme a la Palabra de Yavé, y lo até a mi cintura.
2 So I bought a belt according to Yahweh’s word, and put it on my waist.
3 Entonces la Palabra de Yavé vino a mí por segunda vez:
3 Yahweh’s word came to me the second time, saying,
4 Toma el cinturón que compraste, que está en tu cintura, y levántate, vé al Éufrates. Escóndelo allí en la hendidura de una peña.
4 “Take the belt that you have bought, which is on your waist, and arise, go to the Euphrates, and hide it there in a cleft of the rock.”
5 Fui y lo escondí junto al Éufrates, como Yavé me ordenó.
5 So I went and hid it by the Euphrates, as Yahweh commanded me.
6 Y después de muchos días Yavé me dijo: Levántate, vé al Éufrates y toma de allí el cinturón que te mandé que escondieras allá.
6 After many days, Yahweh said to me, “Arise, go to the Euphrates, and take the belt from there, which I commanded you to hide there.”
7 Fui al Éufrates y cavé. Tomé el cinturón del lugar donde lo escondí. Ciertamente el cinturón se pudrió y no servía para algo.
7 Then I went to the Euphrates, and dug, and took the belt from the place where I had hidden it; and behold, the belt was ruined. It was profitable for nothing.
8 Entonces la Palabra de Yavé vino a mí:
8 Then Yahweh’s word came to me, saying,
9 Yavé dice: Así ordené que se pudra la soberbia de Judá y la gran soberbia de Jerusalén.
9 “Yahweh says, ‘In this way I will ruin the pride of Judah, and the great pride of Jerusalem.
10 Este pueblo perverso que rehúsa escuchar mis Palabras, que anda en la terquedad de su corazón y va tras otros ʼelohim para servirles y postrarse ante ellos, será como este cinturón que es completamente inútil.
10 This evil people, who refuse to hear my words, who walk in the stubbornness of their heart, and have gone after other gods to serve them and to worship them, will even be as this belt, which is profitable for nothing.
11 Porque como el cinturón se adhiere a la cintura de un hombre, así establecí que se adhiera a Mí toda la Casa de Israel y toda la Casa de Judá, dice Yavé, para que fuera mi pueblo, mi renombre, mi alabanza y mi gloria. Pero ellos no escucharon.
11 For as the belt clings to the waist of a man, so I have caused the whole house of Israel and the whole house of Judah to cling to me,’ says Yahweh; ‘that they may be to me for a people, for a name, for praise, and for glory; but they would not hear.’
12 Entonces les dirás esta Palabra: Yavé, el ʼElohim de Israel dice: Todo cántaro será llenado con vino. Y ellos te preguntarán: ¿No sabemos ciertamente que todo cántaro será llenado con vino?
12 “Therefore you shall speak to them this word: ‘Yahweh, the God of Israel says, “Every container should be filled with wine.”’ They will tell you, ‘Do we not certainly know that every container should be filled with wine?’
13 Entonces les contestarás: Yavé dice: Miren, Yo lleno de embriaguez a todos los habitantes de esta tierra, a los reyes de la descendencia de David que se sientan sobre el trono, a los sacerdotes, a los profetas y a todos los habitantes de Jerusalén.
13 Then tell them, ‘Yahweh says, “Behold, I will fill all the inhabitants of this land, even the kings who sit on David’s throne, the priests, the prophets, and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, with drunkenness.
14 Los quebrantaré unos contra otros, padres contra hijos a la vez, dice Yavé. No perdonaré ni tendré compasión, ni misericordia para no destruirlos.
14 I will dash them one against another, even the fathers and the sons together,” says Yahweh: “I will not pity, spare, or have compassion, that I should not destroy them.”’”
15 Oigan y presten atención. No sean altivos, porque Yavé habló.
15 Hear, and give ear. Don’t be proud, for Yahweh has spoken.
16 Den gloria a Yavé su ʼElohim antes que Él traiga oscuridad, antes que sus pies tropiecen contra montañas de oscuridad, y Él convierta la luz que esperan en densa oscuridad.
16 Give glory to Yahweh your God, before he causes darkness, and before your feet stumble on the dark mountains, and while you look for light, he turns it into the shadow of death, and makes it deep darkness.
17 Pero si no escuchan esto, mi alma llorará en secreto a causa de la soberbia de ustedes. Mis ojos llorarán amargamente porque el rebaño de Yavé será llevado cautivo.
17 But if you will not hear it, my soul will weep in secret for your pride. My eye will weep bitterly, and run down with tears, because Yahweh’s flock has been taken captive.
18 Dí al rey y a la reina madre: Humíllense. Siéntense en la tierra, porque la corona de su gloria cayó de sus cabezas.
18 Say to the king and to the queen mother, “Humble yourselves. Sit down, for your crowns have come down, even the crown of your glory.
19 Las ciudades del Neguev fueron cerradas, y no hay quien las abra. Todo Judá es llevado al exilio, totalmente llevado en cautiverio.
19 The cities of the South are shut up, and there is no one to open them. Judah is carried away captive: all of them. They are wholly carried away captive.
20 Levanta tus ojos y mira a los que vienen del norte. ¿Dónde está el rebaño que te fue dado, tu bello rebaño?
20 Lift up your eyes, and see those who come from the north. Where is the flock that was given to you, your beautiful flock?
21 ¿Qué dirás cuando él designe como jefes a aquellos a quienes tú enseñaste? ¿No se apoderarán de ti dolores como de parturienta?
21 What will you say when he sets over you as head those whom you have yourself taught to be friends to you? Won’t sorrows take hold of you, as of a woman in travail?
22 Cuando digas en tu corazón: ¿Por qué me sucede esto? Por tu gran iniquidad fueron levantadas tus faldas y desnudados tus talones.
22 If you say in your heart, “Why have these things come on me?” Your skirts are uncovered because of the greatness of your iniquity, and your heels suffer violence.
23 ¿Cambiará el etíope su piel, o el leopardo sus manchas? Así también ustedes no podrán hacer lo bueno, por estar acostumbrados a hacer lo malo.
23 Can the Ethiopian change his skin, or the leopard his spots? Then may you also do good, who are accustomed to do evil.
24 Por tanto Yo los esparciré como el pasto seco que pasa con el viento del desierto.
24 “Therefore I will scatter them as the stubble that passes away by the wind of the wilderness.
25 Ésta es tu parte, la cantidad que medí para ti, dice Yavé, porque te olvidaste de Mí y confiaste en la mentira.
25 This is your lot, the portion measured to you from me,” says Yahweh, “because you have forgotten me, and trusted in falsehood.”
26 Por tanto Yo también levantaré tus faldas y las alzaré sobre tu cara, para que sea vista tu vergüenza,
26 Therefore I will also uncover your skirts on your face, and your shame will appear.
27 tus adulterios, tus lujuriosos relinchos, y la perversidad de tu fornicación. Vi todas tus repugnancias sobre las colinas y en el campo. ¡Ay de ti, Jerusalén! ¿Hasta cuándo no te purificas?
27 I have seen your abominations, even your adulteries and your neighing, the lewdness of your prostitution, on the hills in the field. Woe to you, Jerusalem! You will not be made clean. How long will it yet be?”

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).
For Jeremiah too calls the people "a girdle," and makes mention again of "bottles" and of "wine." Thus, the discourse being about gluttony and a table, He takes His illustrations from the same.
