WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)

1 La Palabra de Yavé que vino a Jeremías:

1 The word that came to Jeremiah from Yahweh, saying,

2 Ponte en pie en la puerta de la Casa de Yavé y proclama allí esta Palabra. Dí: Escuchen la Palabra de Yavé todos ustedes los de Judá que entran por estas puertas para adorar a Yavé.

2 “Stand in the gate of Yahweh’s house, and proclaim this word there, and say, ‘Hear Yahweh’s word, all you of Judah, who enter in at these gates to worship Yahweh.’”

3 Yavé de las huestes, ʼElohim de Israel, dice: Enmienden sus caminos y sus obras, y los dejaré habitar en este lugar.

3 Yahweh of Armies, the God of Israel says, “Amend your ways and your doings, and I will cause you to dwell in this place.

4 No confíen en palabras engañosas que dicen: ¡Casa de Yavé, Casa de Yavé, ésta es la Casa de Yavé!

4 Don’t trust in lying words, saying, ‘Yahweh’s temple, Yahweh’s temple, Yahweh’s temple, are these.’

5 Pero si realmente mejoran sus caminos y sus obras, si en verdad administran justicia entre un hombre y su prójimo,

5 For if you thoroughly amend your ways and your doings, if you thoroughly execute justice between a man and his neighbor;

6 y no oprimen al extranjero, al huérfano y a la viuda, ni derraman sangre inocente en este lugar, ni andan tras otros ʼelohim para su propia ruina,

6 if you don’t oppress the foreigner, the fatherless, and the widow, and don’t shed innocent blood in this place, and don’t walk after other gods to your own hurt,

7 entonces los dejaré habitar en este lugar, en la tierra que di a sus antepasados para siempre jamás.

7 then I will cause you to dwell in this place, in the land that I gave to your fathers, from of old even forever more.

8 Ciertamente ustedes confían en palabras engañosas que no aprovechan.

8 Behold, you trust in lying words that can’t profit.

9 Roban, asesinan, adulteran, juran en falso, queman incienso a baal y andan tras otros ʼelohim que no conocieron.

9 Will you steal, murder, commit adultery, swear falsely, burn incense to Baal, and walk after other gods that you have not known,

10 ¿Vendrán y los pondrán delante de Mí en esta Casa, sobre la cual es invocado mi Nombre, y dirán: Somos libres para hacer todas estas repugnancias?

10 then come and stand before me in this house, which is called by my name, and say, ‘We are delivered,’ that you may do all these abominations?

11 ¿Esta Casa, sobre la cual es invocado mi Nombre, es una cueva de ladrones ante los ojos de ustedes? Ciertamente Yo mismo lo veo, dice Yavé.

11 Has this house, which is called by my name, become a den of robbers in your eyes? Behold, I myself have seen it,” says Yahweh.

12 Ahora pues, vayan a mi lugar que estaba en Silo, donde establecí mi Nombre al principio, y vean lo que hice a causa de la maldad de mi pueblo Israel.

12 “But go now to my place which was in Shiloh, where I caused my name to dwell at the first, and see what I did to it for the wickedness of my people Israel.

13 Ahora pues, porque cometieron tales acciones, dice Yavé, porque les hablé de madrugada sin cesar y no quisieron escuchar, y los llamé y no respondieron,

13 Now, because you have done all these works,” says Yahweh, “and I spoke to you, rising up early and speaking, but you didn’t hear; and I called you, but you didn’t answer;

14 haré también a esta Casa, sobre la cual es invocado mi Nombre, en la cual ustedes confían, y a este lugar que les di a ustedes y a sus antepasados, lo mismo que hice a Silo.

14 therefore I will do to the house which is called by my name, in which you trust, and to the place which I gave to you and to your fathers, as I did to Shiloh.

15 Los echaré de mi Presencia, como eché a todos sus hermanos, a toda la descendencia de Efraín.

15 I will cast you out of my sight, as I have cast out all your brothers, even the whole offspring of Ephraim.

16 Tú, pues, no intercedas por este pueblo, ni levantes clamor por ellos, ni me ruegues, porque no te escucharé.

16 “Therefore don’t pray for this people. Don’t lift up a cry or prayer for them or make intercession to me; for I will not hear you.

17 ¿No ves lo que hacen éstos en las ciudades de Judá y en las calles de Jerusalén?

17 Don’t you see what they do in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem?

18 Los hijos recogen la leña, los padres encienden fuego, las mujeres preparan la masa para hacer tortas en honor a la reina del cielo, y dan ofrendas a ʼelohim extraños para provocarme a ira.

18 The children gather wood, and the fathers kindle the fire, and the women knead the dough, to make cakes to the queen of the sky, and to pour out drink offerings to other gods, that they may provoke me to anger.

19 ¿A Mí me provocan a ira? dice Yavé. ¿No actúan ellos mismos para su propia vergüenza?

19 Do they provoke me to anger?” says Yahweh. “Don’t they provoke themselves, to the confusion of their own faces?”

20 Por tanto, ʼAdonay Yavé dice: Ciertamente mi ira y mi ardiente furor serán derramados sobre este lugar, hombres y bestias, los árboles del campo y el fruto de la tierra. Arderá y no será extinguido.

20 Therefore the Lord Yahweh says: “Behold, my anger and my wrath will be poured out on this place, on man, on animal, on the trees of the field, and on the fruit of the ground; and it will burn and will not be quenched.”

21 Yavé de las huestes, ʼElohim de Israel, dice: Reúnan sus holocaustos con sus sacrificios y coman la carne.

21 Yahweh of Armies, the God of Israel says: “Add your burnt offerings to your sacrifices and eat meat.

22 Porque nada dije a sus antepasados. Nada les mandé el día cuando los saqué de la tierra de Egipto con respecto a holocaustos y sacrificios,

22 For I didn’t speak to your fathers or command them in the day that I brought them out of the land of Egypt concerning burnt offerings or sacrifices;

23 sino les mandé: Escuchen mi voz y Yo seré su ʼElohim y ustedes serán mi pueblo. Anden en todo el camino que les ordené para que les vaya bien.

23 but this thing I commanded them, saying, ‘Listen to my voice, and I will be your God, and you shall be my people. Walk in all the way that I command you, that it may be well with you.’

24 Pero no escucharon ni inclinaron su oído, sino anduvieron con la dureza de su terco corazón, según su propio designio. Fueron hacia atrás y no hacia delante.

24 But they didn’t listen or turn their ear, but walked in their own counsels and in the stubbornness of their evil heart, and went backward, and not forward.

25 Les envié a todos mis esclavos profetas. Los envié desde temprano y sin cesar desde el día cuando sus antepasados salieron de la tierra de Egipto hasta hoy.

25 Since the day that your fathers came out of the land of Egypt to this day, I have sent to you all my servants the prophets, daily rising up early and sending them.

26 Pero no me escucharon ni inclinaron su oído. Más bien se volvieron indómitos, y fueron peores que sus antepasados.

26 Yet they didn’t listen to me or incline their ear, but made their neck stiff. They did worse than their fathers.

27 Tú pues, les dirás todas estas palabras, pero no te escucharán. Los llamarás, pero no te responderán.

27 “You shall speak all these words to them, but they will not listen to you. You shall also call to them, but they will not answer you.

28 Por tanto les dirás: Ésta es la nación que no escucha la voz de Yavé su ʼElohim, ni admite corrección. Pereció la verdad. Fue cortada de la boca de ellos.

28 You shall tell them, ‘This is the nation that has not listened to Yahweh their God’s voice, nor received instruction. Truth has perished, and is cut off from their mouth.’

29 Corta tu cabello y tíralo. Levanta llanto en las alturas, porque Yavé desechó y abandonó a la generación que es objeto de su ira.

29 Cut off your hair, and throw it away, and take up a lamentation on the bare heights; for Yahweh has rejected and forsaken the generation of his wrath.

30 Porque los hijos de Judá hicieron lo malo ante mis ojos, dice Yavé. Pusieron sus ídolos repugnantes en la Casa sobre la cual es invocado mi Nombre, y así la profanaron.

30 “For the children of Judah have done that which is evil in my sight,” says Yahweh. “They have set their abominations in the house which is called by my name, to defile it.

31 Edificaron los lugares altos de Tófet, que están en el Valle de hijo de Hinom, para quemar a sus hijos y a sus hijas en el fuego, cosa que Yo no les mandé, ni me vino a la mente.

31 They have built the high places of Topheth, which is in the valley of the son of Hinnom, to burn their sons and their daughters in the fire, which I didn’t command, nor did it come into my mind.

32 Por tanto, ciertamente vienen días, dice Yavé, cuando ya no será llamado Tófet ni Valle del hijo de Hinom, sino Valle de la Matanza, porque sepultarán en Tófet hasta que no quede lugar.

32 Therefore behold, the days come”, says Yahweh, “that it will no more be called ‘Topheth’ or ‘The valley of the son of Hinnom’, but ‘The valley of Slaughter’; for they will bury in Topheth until there is no place to bury.

33 Los cadáveres de este pueblo servirán de alimento a las aves del cielo y a las bestias de la tierra. No habrá quien las espante.

33 The dead bodies of this people will be food for the birds of the sky, and for the animals of the earth. No one will frighten them away.

34 En las ciudades de Judá y en las calles de Jerusalén ordenaré cesar la voz de gozo y de alegría, la voz del novio y de la novia, porque esta tierra será asolada.

34 Then I will cause to cease from the cities of Judah and from the streets of Jerusalem the voice of mirth and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride; for the land will become a waste.”

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).

Quotes verse 7:29 Irenaeus of Lyons, Against Heresies (Book IV, Chapter XXXVI)
This is in accordance with what Jeremiah says, "The Lord hath rejected and cast off the nation which does these things; for the children of Judah have done evil in my sight, saith the Lord." And again in like manner does Jeremiah speak: "I set watchmen over you; hearken to the sound of the trumpet; and they said, We will …
