WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
1 Και έγεινε λόγος Κυρίου προς εμέ, λέγων,
1 Y FUÉ á mí palabra de Jehová, diciendo:
1 Then Yahweh’s word came to me, saying,
2 Μη λάβης εις σεαυτόν γυναίκα μηδέ να γείνωσιν εις σε υιοί μηδέ θυγατέρες εν τω τόπω τούτω.
2 No tomarás para ti mujer, ni tendrás hijos ni hijas en este lugar.
2 “You shall not take a wife, neither shall you have sons or daughters, in this place.”
3 Διότι ούτω λέγει Κύριος περί των υιών και περί των θυγατέρων των γεννωμένων εν τω τόπω τούτω και περί των μητέρων αυτών, αίτινες εγέννησαν αυτούς, και περί των πατέρων αυτών, οίτινες ετεκνοποίησαν αυτούς εν τη γη ταύτη·
3 Porque así ha dicho Jehová acerca de los hijos y de las hijas que nacieren en este lugar, y de sus madres que los parieren, y de los padres que los engendraren en esta tierra.
3 For Yahweh says concerning the sons and concerning the daughters who are born in this place, and concerning their mothers who bore them, and concerning their fathers who became their father in this land:
4 θέλουσιν αποθάνει με οδυνηρόν θάνατον· δεν θέλουσι κλαυθή ουδέ θέλουσι ταφή· θέλουσιν είσθαι διά κοπρίαν επί το πρόσωπον της γης, και θέλουσιν αφανισθή υπό μαχαίρας και υπό πείνης, και τα πτώματα αυτών θέλουσιν είσθαι τροφή εις τα πετεινά του ουρανού και εις τα θηρία της γης.
4 De dolorosas enfermedades morirán; no serán plañidos ni enterrados: serán por muladar sobre la haz de la tierra: y con cuchillo y con hambre serán consumidos, y sus cuerpos serán para comida de las aves del cielo y de las bestias de la tierra.
4 “They will die grievous deaths. They will not be lamented, neither will they be buried. They will be as dung on the surface of the ground. They will be consumed by the sword and by famine. Their dead bodies will be food for the birds of the sky and for the animals of the earth.”
5 Διότι ούτω λέγει Κύριος· Μη εισέλθης εις οίκον πένθους και μη υπάγης να πενθήσης μηδέ να συγκλαύσης αυτούς· διότι αφήρεσα την ειρήνην μου από του λαού τούτου, λέγει Κύριος, το έλεος και τους οικτιρμούς.
5 Porque así ha dicho Jehová: No entres en casa de luto, ni vayas á lamentar, ni los consueles: porque yo he quitado mi paz de este pueblo, dice Jehová, [mi] misericordia y piedades.
5 For Yahweh says, “Don’t enter into the house of mourning. Don’t go to lament. Don’t bemoan them, for I have taken away my peace from this people,” says Yahweh, “even loving kindness and tender mercies.
6 Και θέλουσιν αποθάνει μεγάλοι και μικροί εν τη γη ταύτη· δεν θέλουσι ταφή ουδέ θέλουσι κλαύσει αυτούς ουδέ θέλουσι κάμει εντομάς εις τα σώματα αυτών ουδέ θέλουσι ξυρισθή δι' αυτούς·
6 Y morirán en esta tierra grandes y chicos: no se enterrarán, ni los plañirán, ni se arañarán, ni se mesarán por ellos;
6 Both great and small will die in this land. They will not be buried. Men won’t lament for them, cut themselves, or make themselves bald for them.
7 ουδέ θέλουσι διαμοιράσει άρτον εις το πένθος προς παρηγορίαν αυτών διά τον τεθνεώτα, ουδέ θέλουσι ποτίσει αυτούς το ποτήριον της παρηγορίας διά τον πατέρα αυτών ή διά την μητέρα αυτών.
7 Ni por ellos partirán [pan] por luto, para consolarlos de [sus] muertos; ni les darán á beber vaso de consolaciones por su padre ó por su madre.
7 Men won’t break bread for them in mourning, to comfort them for the dead. Men won’t give them the cup of consolation to drink for their father or for their mother.
8 Και δεν θέλεις εισέλθει εις οίκον συμποσίου, διά να συγκαθήσης μετ' αυτών διά να φάγης και να πίης.
8 Asimismo no entres en casa de convite, para sentarte con ellos á comer ó á beber.
8 “You shall not go into the house of feasting to sit with them, to eat and to drink.”
9 Διότι ούτω λέγει ο Κύριος των δυνάμεων, ο Θεός του Ισραήλ Ιδού, εγώ θέλω παύσει από του τόπου τούτου, ενώπιον των οφθαλμών υμών και εν ταις ημέραις υμών, την φωνήν της χαράς και την φωνήν της ευφροσύνης, την φωνήν του νυμφίου και την φωνήν της νύμφης.
9 Porque así ha dicho Jehová de los ejércitos, Dios de Israel; He aquí que yo haré cesar en este lugar, delante de vuestros ojos y en vuestros días, toda voz de gozo y toda voz de alegría, toda voz de esposo y toda voz de esposa.
9 For Yahweh of Armies, the God of Israel says: “Behold, I will cause to cease out of this place, before your eyes and in your days, the voice of mirth and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride.
10 Και όταν αναγγείλης προς τον λαόν τούτον πάντας τούτους τους λόγους, και είπωσι προς σε, Διά τι ο Κύριος επρόφερεν άπαν τούτο το μέγα κακόν εναντίον ημών; και τις η ανομία ημών; και τις η αμαρτία ημών, την οποίαν ημαρτήσαμεν εις Κύριον τον Θεόν ημών;
10 Y acontecerá que cuando anunciares á este pueblo todas estas cosas, te dirán ellos: ¿Por qué habló Jehová sobre nosotros todo este mal tan grande? ¿y qué maldad es la nuestra, ó qué pecado [es] el nuestro, que cometiéramos contra Jehová nuestro Dios?
10 It will happen, when you tell this people all these words, and they ask you, ‘Why has Yahweh pronounced all this great evil against us?’ or ‘What is our iniquity?’ or ‘What is our sin that we have committed against Yahweh our God?’
11 Τότε θέλεις ειπεί προς αυτούς, Επειδή με εγκατέλιπον οι πατέρες υμών, λέγει Κύριος, και υπήγαν οπίσω άλλων θεών και ελάτρευσαν αυτούς και προσεκύνησαν αυτούς και εγκατέλιπον εμέ και τον νόμον μου δεν εφύλαξαν·
11 Entonces les dirás: Porque vuestros padres me dejaron, dice Jehová, y anduvieron en pos de dioses ajenos, y los sirvieron, y á ellos se encorvaron, y me dejaron á mí, y no guardaron mi ley;
11 then you shall tell them, ‘Because your fathers have forsaken me,’ says Yahweh, ‘and have walked after other gods, have served them, have worshiped them, have forsaken me, and have not kept my law.
12 και επειδή σεις επράξατε χειρότερα παρά τους πατέρας υμών, και ιδού, περιπατείτε έκαστος οπίσω της ορέξεως της πονηράς αυτού καρδίας, ώστε να μη υπακούητε εις εμέ·
12 Y vosotros habéis hecho peor que vuestros padres; porque he aquí que vosotros camináis cada uno tras la imaginación de su malvado corazón, no oyéndome á mí.
12 You have done evil more than your fathers, for behold, you each walk after the stubbornness of his evil heart, so that you don’t listen to me.
13 διά τούτο θέλω απορρίψει υμάς από της γης ταύτης, εις την γην, την οποίαν δεν εγνωρίσατε, υμείς και οι πατέρες υμών· και εκεί θέλετε λατρεύσει άλλους θεούς ημέραν και νύκτα· διότι δεν θέλω κάμει έλεος προς υμάς.
13 Por tanto, yo os haré echar de esta tierra á tierra que ni vosotros ni vuestros padres habéis conocido, y allá serviréis á dioses ajenos de día y de noche; porque no os mostraré clemencia.
13 Therefore I will cast you out of this land into the land that you have not known, neither you nor your fathers. There you will serve other gods day and night, for I will show you no favor.’
14 Διά τούτο ιδού, έρχονται ημέραι, λέγει Κύριος, και δεν θέλουσιν ειπεί πλέον, Ζη Κύριος, όστις ανήγαγε τους υιούς Ισραήλ εκ γης Αιγύπτου,
14 Empero he aquí, vienen días, dice Jehová, que no se dirá más: Vive Jehová, que hizo subir á los hijos de Israel de tierra de Egipto;
14 “Therefore behold, the days come,” says Yahweh, “that it will no more be said, ‘As Yahweh lives, who brought up the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt;’
15 αλλά, Ζη Κύριος, όστις ανήγαγε τους υιούς Ισραήλ εκ της γης του βορρά και εκ πάντων των τόπων όπου είχε διώξει αυτούς· και θέλω επαναφέρει αυτούς πάλιν εις την γην αυτών, την οποίαν έδωκα εις τους πατέρας αυτών.
15 Sino: Vive Jehová, que hizo subir á los hijos de Israel de la tierra del aquilón, y de todas las tierras á donde los había arrojado: y volverélos á su tierra, la cual dí á sus padres.
15 but, ‘As Yahweh lives, who brought up the children of Israel from the land of the north, and from all the countries where he had driven them.’ I will bring them again into their land that I gave to their fathers.
16 Ιδού, θέλω αποστείλει πολλούς αλιείς, λέγει Κύριος, και θέλουσιν αλιεύσει αυτούς· και μετά ταύτα θέλω αποστείλει πολλούς κυνηγούς και θέλουσι θηρεύσει αυτούς από παντός όρους και από παντός λόφου και από των σχισμών των βράχων.
16 He aquí que yo envío muchos pescadores, dice Jehová, y los pescarán; y después enviaré muchos cazadores, y los cazarán de todo monte, y de todo collado, y de las cavernas de los peñascos.
16 “Behold, I will send for many fishermen,” says Yahweh, “and they will fish them up. Afterward I will send for many hunters, and they will hunt them from every mountain, from every hill, and out of the clefts of the rocks.
17 Διότι οι οφθαλμοί μου είναι επί πάσας τας οδούς αυτών· δεν είναι κεκρυμμέναι από του προσώπου μου ουδέ η ανομία αυτών είναι κεκρυμμένη απ' έμπροσθεν των οφθαλμών μου.
17 Porque mis ojos están sobre todos sus caminos, los cuales no se me ocultaron, ni su maldad se esconde de la presencia de mis ojos.
17 For my eyes are on all their ways. They are not hidden from my face. Their iniquity isn’t concealed from my eyes.
18 Και πρώτον θέλω ανταποδώσει διπλά την ανομίαν αυτών και την αμαρτίαν αυτών· διότι εμίαναν την γην μου με τα πτώματα των βδελυγμάτων αυτών και ενέπλησαν την κληρονομίαν μου από των μιασμάτων αυτών.
18 Mas primero pagaré al doble su iniquidad y su pecado; porque contaminaron mi tierra con los cuerpos muertos de sus abominaciones, y de sus abominaciones llenaron mi heredad.
18 First I will recompense their iniquity and their sin double, because they have polluted my land with the carcasses of their detestable things, and have filled my inheritance with their abominations.”
19 Κύριε, δύναμίς μου και φρούριόν μου και καταφυγή μου εν ημέρα θλίψεως, τα έθνη θέλουσιν ελθεί προς σε από των περάτων της γης και θέλουσιν ειπεί, Βεβαίως οι πατέρες ημών εκληρονόμησαν ψεύδος, ματαιότητα και τα ανωφελή.
19 Oh Jehová, fortaleza mía, y fuerza mía, y refugio mío en el tiempo de la aflicción; á ti vendrán gentes desde los extremos de la tierra, y dirán: Ciertamente mentira poseyeron nuestros padres, vanidad, y no hay en ellos provecho.
19 Yahweh, my strength, my stronghold, and my refuge in the day of affliction, the nations will come to you from the ends of the earth, and will say, “Our fathers have inherited nothing but lies, vanity and things in which there is no profit.
20 Θέλει κάμει άνθρωπος εις εαυτόν θεούς τους μη όντας θεούς;
20 ¿Ha de hacer el hombre dioses para sí? mas ellos no son dioses.
20 Should a man make to himself gods which yet are no gods?”
21 Διά τούτο, ιδού, θέλω κάμει αυτούς ταύτην την φοράν να γνωρίσωσι, θέλω κάμει αυτούς να γνωρίσωσι την χείρα μου και την δύναμίν μου, και θέλουσι γνωρίσει ότι το όνομά μου είναι ο Κύριος.
21 Por tanto, he aquí, les enseñaré de esta vez, enseñarles he mi mano y mi fortaleza, y sabrán que mi nombre es Jehová.
21 “Therefore behold, I will cause them to know, this once I will cause them to know my hand and my might. Then they will know that my name is Yahweh.”

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).
… we now see fulfilled, he thus spoke: "O Lord my God, and my refuge in the day of evils, to Thee shall the nations come from the utmost end of the earth, saying, Truly our fathers have worshipped lying images, wherein there is no profit." But that the Jews, by whom He behoved even to be slain, were not going …

Therefore nations that are converted to Christ afterwards, and taking to heart the impieties of their parents, and saying now what the prophet Jeremias himself said, "Truly a lie our fathers have worshipped, vanity which hath not profited them" --when, I say, they now say this, they renounce the opinions and blasphemies of their unjust parents....There have led us away …

… if the heathen who came from the ends of the earth, in the words of Jeremias, "The Gentiles shall come unto Thee from the ends of the earth, and shall say, Surely our forefathers have inherited lies, vanity, and things wherein there is no profit:" if the heathen forsook their idols, to come to the God of Israel; ought Israel …
