1 La Palabra de Yavé que vino a Jeremías, cuando el rey Sedequías le envió a Pasur, hijo de Malquías y al sacerdote Sofonías, hijo de Maasías, para que le dijeran:
1 The word which came to Jeremiah from Yahweh, when King Zedekiah sent to him Pashhur the son of Malchijah, and Zephaniah the son of Maaseiah, the priest, saying,
2 Te ruego que consultes a Yavé por nosotros, porque Nabucodonosor, rey de Babilonia, guerrea contra nosotros. Tal vez Yavé nos trate según todas sus maravillosas obras, a fin de que aquél se retire de nosotros.
2 “Please inquire of Yahweh for us; for Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon makes war against us. Perhaps Yahweh will deal with us according to all his wondrous works, that he may withdraw from us.”
3 Y Jeremías les respondió: Digan así a Sedequías:
3 Then Jeremiah said to them, “Tell Zedekiah:
4 Yavé ʼElohim de Israel dice: Miren, Yo devuelvo las armas de guerra que están en manos de ustedes, con las cuales combaten contra el rey de Babilonia a los caldeos, quienes los tienen sitiados por fuera del muro. A ellos los reuniré en medio de esta ciudad.
4 ‘Yahweh, the God of Israel says, “Behold, I will turn back the weapons of war that are in your hands, with which you fight against the king of Babylon, and against the Chaldeans who besiege you outside the walls; and I will gather them into the middle of this city.
5 Yo mismo pelearé contra ustedes con mano extendida y brazo fuerte, con furor, ira y ardiente indignación.
5 I myself will fight against you with an outstretched hand and with a strong arm, even in anger, in wrath, and in great indignation.
6 Heriré a los que viven en la ciudad, tanto al hombre como a la bestia, los cuales morirán de gran pestilencia.
6 I will strike the inhabitants of this city, both man and animal. They will die of a great pestilence.
7 Después de esto, dice Yavé, entregaré a Sedequías, rey de Judá, a sus esclavos y al pueblo, a los que escapen en esta ciudad de la pestilencia, la espada y el hambre, en mano de Nabucodonosor, rey de Babilonia, de los demás enemigos y de los que buscan sus vidas. Él los matará a filo de espada. No tendrá compasión de ellos, ni perdonará, ni tendrá misericordia.
7 Afterward,” says Yahweh, “I will deliver Zedekiah king of Judah, his servants, and the people, even those who are left in this city from the pestilence, from the sword, and from the famine, into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and into the hand of their enemies, and into the hand of those who seek their life. He will strike them with the edge of the sword. He will not spare them, have pity, or have mercy.”’
8 Y a este pueblo le dirás: Yavé dice: Ciertamente Yo pongo delante de ustedes el camino de la vida y el de la muerte.
8 “You shall say to this people, ‘Yahweh says: “Behold, I set before you the way of life and the way of death.
9 El que permanezca en esta ciudad morirá a espada, de hambre y de pestilencia. Pero el que salga y se entregue a los caldeos que los asedian, vivirá. Su vida le será como despojo.
9 He who remains in this city will die by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence, but he who goes out and passes over to the Chaldeans who besiege you, he will live, and he will escape with his life.
10 Porque levanté mi rostro contra esta ciudad para mal y no para bien, dice Yavé. Será entregada en mano del rey de Babilonia, quien la destruirá con fuego.
10 For I have set my face on this city for evil, and not for good,” says Yahweh. “It will be given into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he will burn it with fire.”’
11 Y a la casa del rey de Judá dirás: Oigan la Palabra de Yavé:
11 “Concerning the house of the king of Judah, hear Yahweh’s word:
12 Oh casa de David, Yavé dice: Vayan pronto a administrar justicia. Libren al oprimido de la mano del opresor. Para que mi ira no salga como fuego, se encienda, y no haya quien la extinga a causa de la maldad de sus obras.
12 House of David, Yahweh says, ‘Execute justice in the morning, and deliver him who is robbed out of the hand of the oppressor, lest my wrath go out like fire, and burn so that no one can quench it, because of the evil of your doings.
13 Aquí estoy contra ti, oh habitante del valle y de la roca de la llanura, dice Yavé. Ustedes que dicen: ¿Quién bajará contra nosotros? ¿Quién entrará en nuestras habitaciones?
13 Behold, I am against you, O inhabitant of the valley, and of the rock of the plain,’ says Yahweh. ‘You that say, “Who would come down against us?” or, “Who would enter into our homes?”
14 Los castigaré según el fruto de sus obras, dice Yavé. Encenderé un fuego en su bosque que devorará todo alrededor de él.
14 I will punish you according to the fruit of your doings,’ says Yahweh; ‘and I will kindle a fire in her forest, and it will devour all that is around her.’”
