1 El sacerdote Pasur, hijo de Imer, quien presidía como jefe en la Casa de Yavé, oyó a Jeremías cuando profetizaba estas cosas.
1 Now Pashhur, the son of Immer the priest, who was chief officer in Yahweh’s house, heard Jeremiah prophesying these things.
2 Pasur azotó al profeta Jeremías y lo puso en el cepo que estaba en la Puerta Superior de Benjamín, la cual estaba junto a la Casa de Yavé.
2 Then Pashhur struck Jeremiah the prophet and put him in the stocks that were in the upper gate of Benjamin, which was in Yahweh’s house.
3 En la mañana siguiente, Pasur sacó a Jeremías del cepo, y Jeremías le dijo: Yavé no te llama Pasur, sino Terror en torno.
3 On the next day, Pashhur released Jeremiah out of the stocks. Then Jeremiah said to him, “Yahweh has not called your name Pashhur, but Magormissabib.
4 Porque Yavé dice: Mira, Yo te convierto en terror para ti y para todos tus amigos. Caerán por la espada de sus enemigos, y tus ojos lo verán. Entregaré a todo Judá en mano del rey de Babilonia, quien los llevará cautivos a Babilonia y los matará a espada.
4 For Yahweh says, ‘Behold, I will make you a terror to yourself and to all your friends. They will fall by the sword of their enemies, and your eyes will see it. I will give all Judah into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he will carry them captive to Babylon, and will kill them with the sword.
5 Entregaré también todas las riquezas de esta ciudad, todo el producto de su labor y todos los tesoros de los reyes de Judá, y los saqueará. Los tomarán y los llevarán a Babilonia.
5 Moreover I will give all the riches of this city, and all its gains, and all its precious things, yes, I will give all the treasures of the kings of Judah into the hand of their enemies. They will make them captives, take them, and carry them to Babylon.
6 Y tú, Pasur, y todos los que viven en tu casa irán cautivos. Entrarás en Babilonia y allí morirás. Allí serán sepultados, tú y todos tus amigos, a los cuales profetizaste mentira.
6 You, Pashhur, and all who dwell in your house will go into captivity. You will come to Babylon, and there you will die, and there you will be buried, you, and all your friends, to whom you have prophesied falsely.’”
7 Me sedujiste, oh Yavé, y fui seducido. Fuiste más fuerte que yo, y me venciste. Cada día soy objeto de burla. Cada uno se burla de mí.
7 Yahweh, you have persuaded me, and I was persuaded. You are stronger than I, and have prevailed. I have become a laughingstock all day. Everyone mocks me.
8 Porque cuantas veces hablo, proclamo, grito: ¡Violencia y destrucción! La Palabra de Yavé resulta para mí reproche y burla todo el día.
8 For as often as I speak, I cry out; I cry, “Violence and destruction!” because Yahweh’s word has been made a reproach to me, and a derision, all day.
9 Y si digo: No lo recordaré a Él, ni hablaré más en su Nombre, entonces mi corazón es como un fuego abrasador encerrado en mis huesos. Me esfuerzo en contenerlo, pero no puedo.
9 If I say that I will not make mention of him, or speak any more in his name, then there is in my heart as it were a burning fire shut up in my bones. I am weary with holding it in. I can’t.
10 Porque oí la murmuración de muchos: ¡Terror por todas partes! ¡Denúncienlo, denunciémoslo! Todos mis amigos que esperan mi caída dicen: Quizás sea engañado. Entonces prevaleceremos contra él y tomaremos nuestra venganza.
10 For I have heard the defaming of many: “Terror on every side! Denounce, and we will denounce him!” say all my familiar friends, those who watch for my fall. “Perhaps he will be persuaded, and we will prevail against him, and we will take our revenge on him.”
11 Pero Yavé está conmigo como poderoso Gigante. Por tanto, mis perseguidores tropezarán y no prevalecerán contra mí. Sentirán perpetua confusión que nunca será olvidada.
11 But Yahweh is with me as an awesome mighty one. Therefore my persecutors will stumble, and they won’t prevail. They will be utterly disappointed because they have not dealt wisely, even with an everlasting dishonor which will never be forgotten.
12 Oh Yavé de las huestes. Tú escudriñas al justo y ves la mente y el corazón. Permite que yo vea tu venganza de ellos, pues a Ti expuse mi causa.
12 But Yahweh of Armies, who tests the righteous, who sees the heart and the mind, let me see your vengeance on them, for I have revealed my cause to you.
13 ¡Canten a Yavé, alaben a Yavé, Quien libró la vida del pobre de mano de los malhechores!
13 Sing to Yahweh! Praise Yahweh, for he has delivered the soul of the needy from the hand of evildoers.
14 Maldito el día cuando nací. No sea bendecido el día cuando mi madre me dio a luz.
14 Cursed is the day in which I was born. Don’t let the day in which my mother bore me be blessed.
15 Maldito el hombre que dio noticias a mi padre, y dijo: ¡Te nació un hijo varón! Y le causó gran alegría.
15 Cursed is the man who brought news to my father, saying, “A boy is born to you,” making him very glad.
16 Sea tal hombre como las ciudades que Yavé destruyó sin misericordia, Que oiga alarma por la mañana y gritos de guerra al mediodía.
16 Let that man be as the cities which Yahweh overthrew, and didn’t repent. Let him hear a cry in the morning, and shouting at noontime,
17 Porque no me mataste en el vientre, y mi madre sería mi sepulcro, y su vientre estaría embarazado para siempre.
17 because he didn’t kill me from the womb. So my mother would have been my grave, and her womb always great.
18 ¿Para qué salí del vientre? ¿Para ver aflicción y dolor, y que mis días se gasten en vergüenza?
18 Why did I come out of the womb to see labor and sorrow, that my days should be consumed with shame?
