1 ¡Escucha, pueblo de Israel, este lamento fúnebre que cantaré acerca de ti!
1 Listen to this word which I take up for a lamentation over you, O house of Israel:
2 ¡La doncella Israel ha caído y no volverá a levantarse! Yace allí abandonada en el suelo, y no hay quien la ayude.
2 “The virgin of Israel has fallen; She shall rise no more. She is cast down on her land; there is no one to raise her up.”
3 Esto es lo que dice el Señor: De una ciudad que envíe mil soldados, regresarán cien; de una ciudad que mande cien soldados, regresarán diez.
3 For the Lord Yahweh says: “The city that went out a thousand shall have a hundred left, and that which went out one hundred shall have ten left to the house of Israel.”
4 Esto es lo que dice el Señor: ¡Mírenme a mi para que vivan!
4 For Yahweh says to the house of Israel: “Seek me, and you will live;
5 No miren a los dioses falsos de Betel, ni vayan a los altares paganos de Guilgal, ni viajen a Beerseba. Porque Guilgal sufrirá exilio, y Betel será reducida a nada.
5 but don’t seek Bethel, nor enter into Gilgal, and don’t pass to Beersheba; for Gilgal shall surely go into captivity, and Bethel shall come to nothing.
6 ¡Miren al Señor para que vivan! O estallará como fuego contra los descendientes de José y ninguno de los habitantes de Betel podrá aplacarlo.
6 Seek Yahweh, and you will live, lest he break out like fire in the house of Joseph, and it devour, and there be no one to quench it in Bethel.
7 Ustedes distorsionan la justicia y la hacen amarga, dejando la integridad por tierra.
7 You who turn justice to wormwood, and cast down righteousness to the earth!
8 El que hizo las Pléyades y Orión, el que transforma la oscuridad en amanecer, y el día en noche; el que convoca el agua de los mares, y la derrama sobre la tierra, ¡Su nombre es El Señor!
8 Seek him who made the Pleiades and Orion, and turns the shadow of death into the morning, and makes the day dark with night; who calls for the waters of the sea, and pours them out on the surface of the earth, Yahweh is his name,
9 En un parpadear destruye al fuerte y destruye castillos.
9 who brings sudden destruction on the strong, so that destruction comes on the fortress.
10 Ustedes odian a todos aquellos que confrontan la justicia y aborrecen a los que hablan con honestidad.
10 They hate him who reproves in the gate, and they abhor him who speaks blamelessly.
11 Como pisoteas a los pobres y cobras impuesto sobre su grano para construir tus propias casas, no vivirás en ellas ni beberás vino de los espléndidos viñedos que has plantado.
11 Therefore, because you trample on the poor and take taxes from him of wheat, you have built houses of cut stone, but you will not dwell in them. You have planted pleasant vineyards, but you shall not drink their wine.
12 Porque conozco la magnitud de tu maldad y muchos pecados. Tú oprimes a los inocentes y aceptas sobornos, impidiendo que sean tratados con justicia en las cortes.
12 For I know how many are your offenses, and how great are your sins— you who afflict the just, who take a bribe, and who turn away the needy in the courts.
13 Los inteligentes guardan silencio en tiempos de maldad.
13 Therefore a prudent person keeps silent in such a time, for it is an evil time.
14 Hagan el bien y no el mal, y vivirán. Entonces el Señor Dios de poder estará con ustedes, tal como ustedes dicen.
14 Seek good, and not evil, that you may live; and so Yahweh, the God of Armies, will be with you, as you say.
15 Aborrezcan el mal y amen el bien. Asegúrense de que gane la justiciar en las cortes. Quizás el Señor Dios de poder tenga misericordia de los que quedan entre el pueblo de Jacob.
15 Hate evil, love good, and establish justice in the courts. It may be that Yahweh, the God of Armies, will be gracious to the remnant of Joseph.”
16 Porque esto es lo que el Señor, el Señor Dios de poder dice: Habrá lamento en las plazas de las ciudades y gritos de dolor en las calles. Incluso llamarán a los granjeros para hacer duelo, tal como a las plañideras profesionales.
16 Therefore Yahweh, the God of Armies, the Lord, says: “Wailing will be in all the wide ways. They will say in all the streets, ‘Alas! Alas!’ They will call the farmer to mourning, and those who are skillful in lamentation to wailing.
17 Habrá lamento en cada viñedo, porque yo pasaré en medio de ustedes, dice el Señor.
17 In all vineyards there will be wailing, for I will pass through the middle of you,” says Yahweh.
18 ¡Cuán desastroso será para ustedes los que anhelan la llegada del día del Señor! ¿Por qué desean que venga ese día? Traerá oscuridad y no luz.
18 “Woe to you who desire the day of Yahweh! Why do you long for the day of Yahweh? It is darkness, and not light.
19 Será como un hombre que huye de un león, pero termina encontrándose con un oso; o como un hombre que va a su casa y reposa su mano en la pared, pero lo muerde una serpiente.
19 As if a man fled from a lion, and a bear met him; or he went into the house and leaned his hand on the wall, and a snake bit him.
20 ¿Acaso no es el día del Señor un día de oscuridad y no de luz? Así será. Muy oscuro y sin un rayo de luz.
20 Won’t the day of Yahweh be darkness, and not light? Even very dark, and no brightness in it?
21 Aborrezco y desprecio tus festivales, y no me deleito en tus reuniones religiosas.
21 I hate, I despise your feasts, and I can’t stand your solemn assemblies.
22 Aunque me traigas ofrendas de grano, no las aceptaré. Apartaré de mi vista tus ofrendas de paz con novillos engordados.
22 Yes, though you offer me your burnt offerings and meal offerings, I will not accept them; neither will I regard the peace offerings of your fat animals.
23 Aparten de mi el ruido de sus cantos. No escucharé a melodía de sus harpas.
23 Take away from me the noise of your songs! I will not listen to the music of your harps.
24 Prefiero hagan fluir la justicia como agua, y que hacer el bien fluya como un río inagotable.
24 But let justice roll on like rivers, and righteousness like a mighty stream.
25 ¿Acaso ustedes me ofrecieron sacrificios durante los cuarenta años en el desierto, pueblo de Israel?
25 “Did you bring to me sacrifices and offerings in the wilderness forty years, house of Israel?
26 Pero ahora cargan los ídolos de Sacit y Keván, los dioses astrales que ustedes mismos han elaborado.
26 You also carried the tent of your king and the shrine of your images, the star of your god, which you made for yourselves.
27 Por eso los deportaré a la tierra que está más allá de Damasco, dice el Señor, cuyo nombre es el Dios de poder.
27 Therefore I will cause you to go into captivity beyond Damascus,” says Yahweh, whose name is the God of Armies.

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).
But God turned, and gave them up to worship the hosts of heaven; as it is written in the book of the prophets: O ye house of Israel, have ye offered to Me sacrifices and oblations for forty years in the wilderness?
I will seek Thee, that my soul may live. For my body liveth by my soul, and my soul liveth by Thee.

I am moreover restrained by the Prophet's saying, "Therefore the prudent shall keep silence in that time, for it is an evil time," a time when some trip up their neighbours' heels, some stamp on a man when he is down, and others clap their hands with joy, but there is not one to feel for the fallen and hold …

The day of the Lord is darkness and not light." A day of darkness for those who are worthy of darkness.
