1 Este es el mensaje del Señor que llegó a Jeremías:
1 The word that came to Jeremiah from Yahweh, saying,
2 Escucha los términos de este acuerdo, y luego repítelos al pueblo de Judá y de Jerusalén.
2 “Hear the words of this covenant, and speak to the men of Judah, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem;
3 Diles que esto es lo que dice el Señor, el Dios de Israel: Ustedes están malditos si no obedecen los términos de este acuerdo.
3 and say to them, Yahweh, the God of Israel says: ‘Cursed is the man who doesn’t hear the words of this covenant,
4 Yo hice este acuerdo con sus antepasados cuando los saqué de Egipto, del horno de hierro, diciendo: “Obedézcanme y hagan todo lo que les ordeno, y serán mi pueblo y yo seré su Dios”.
4 which I commanded your fathers in the day that I brought them out of the land of Egypt, out of the iron furnace,’ saying, ‘Obey my voice and do them, according to all which I command you; so you shall be my people, and I will be your God;
5 Lo hice para cumplir lo que prometí a sus antepasados: darles una tierra que mana leche y miel, como sigue siendo hoy. Amén, Señor, respondí.
5 that I may establish the oath which I swore to your fathers, to give them a land flowing with milk and honey,’ as it is today.” Then I answered, and said, “Amen, Yahweh.”
6 Entonces el Señor me dijo: Ve y anuncia públicamente todo este mensaje en las ciudades de Judá y en las calles de Jerusalén, diciendo Presta atención a los términos de este acuerdo y haz lo que dicen.
6 Yahweh said to me, “Proclaim all these words in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem, saying, ‘Hear the words of this covenant, and do them.
7 Desde que saqué a sus antepasados de Egipto hasta ahora, les advertí seriamente una y otra vez, diciendo: “¡Hagan lo que les digo!”
7 For I earnestly protested to your fathers in the day that I brought them up out of the land of Egypt, even to this day, rising early and protesting, saying, “Obey my voice.”
8 Pero se negaron a obedecer, no quisieron escuchar. En cambio, cada uno de ellos siguió su propio pensamiento obstinado y malvado. Les había ordenado que siguieran el acuerdo, pero no lo hicieron. Así que hice caer sobre ellos todas las maldiciones contenidas en el acuerdo.
8 Yet they didn’t obey, nor turn their ear, but everyone walked in the stubbornness of their evil heart. Therefore I brought on them all the words of this covenant, which I commanded them to do, but they didn’t do them.’”
9 El Señor me dijo: Está ocurriendo una rebelión entre el pueblo de Judá y los que viven en Jerusalén.
9 Yahweh said to me, “A conspiracy is found among the men of Judah, and among the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
10 Han vuelto a los pecados de sus antepasados, que se negaron a obedecer lo que yo decía. Han ido a adorar a otros dioses. El pueblo de Israel y de Judá ha roto el acuerdo que hice con sus antepasados.
10 They have turned back to the iniquities of their forefathers, who refused to hear my words. They have gone after other gods to serve them. The house of Israel and the house of Judah have broken my covenant which I made with their fathers.
11 Así que esto es lo que dice el Señor: Voy a traer sobre ellos un desastre del que no podrán escapar. Me pedirán ayuda a gritos, pero no los escucharé.
11 Therefore Yahweh says, ‘Behold, I will bring evil on them which they will not be able to escape; and they will cry to me, but I will not listen to them.
12 Entonces los habitantes de las ciudades de Judá y Jerusalén irán a pedir ayuda a los dioses a los que han estado quemando incienso, pero estos dioses no podrán hacer nada para salvarlos en su momento de angustia.
12 Then the cities of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem will go and cry to the gods to which they offer incense, but they will not save them at all in the time of their trouble.
13 ¡Ciertamente tienes tantos dioses como ciudades, Judá! Has construido altares vergonzosos, altares para quemar incienso a Baal. Tienes tantos altares como las calles de Jerusalén.
13 For according to the number of your cities are your gods, Judah; and according to the number of the streets of Jerusalem you have set up altars to the shameful thing, even altars to burn incense to Baal.’
14 Jeremías, no ores por este pueblo. No clames por ayuda ni ofrezcas una oración en su favor, porque no los escucharé cuando clamen a mí en el momento de su angustia.
14 “Therefore don’t pray for this people. Don’t lift up cry or prayer for them; for I will not hear them in the time that they cry to me because of their trouble.
15 ¿Qué derecho tienen las personas que amo a estar en mi Templo cuando han hecho tantas cosas malas? ¿Creen que la carne de los sacrificios los salvará? Cuando ocurra el desastre, ¿te alegrarás?
15 What has my beloved to do in my house, since she has behaved lewdly with many, and the holy flesh has passed from you? When you do evil, then you rejoice.”
16 En un tiempo el Señor dijo que eras un olivo sano, lleno de hojas y que daba hermosos frutos. Pero con gran ruido le prenderá fuego, destruyendo sus ramas.
16 Yahweh called your name, “A green olive tree, beautiful with goodly fruit.” With the noise of a great roar he has kindled fire on it, and its branches are broken.
17 Yo, el Señor Todopoderoso, fui quien te plantó, pero he anunciado que serás destruido a causa de la maldad que ha cometido el pueblo de Israel y de Judá, enojándome al quemar incienso a Baal.
17 For Yahweh of Armies, who planted you, has pronounced evil against you, because of the evil of the house of Israel and of the house of Judah, which they have done to themselves in provoking me to anger by offering incense to Baal.
18 El Señor me lo ha comunicado, para que lo sepa. Luego me mostró lo que realmente estaban haciendo.
18 Yahweh gave me knowledge of it, and I knew it. Then you showed me their doings.
19 Yo era como una ovejita confiada a la que llevan al matadero. No sabía que habían conspirado contra mí. Dijeron: “Destruyamos el árbol junto con todo lo que produce. Matémoslo para que nadie recuerde su nombre”.
19 But I was like a gentle lamb that is led to the slaughter. I didn’t know that they had devised plans against me, saying, “Let’s destroy the tree with its fruit, and let’s cut him off from the land of the living, that his name may be no more remembered.”
20 Apelo a ti, Señor Todopoderoso, tú que juzgas con justicia y examinas los pensamientos y sentimientos de la gente, déjame ver cómo los castigas, porque he dejado mi caso en tus manos.
20 But, Yahweh of Armies, who judges righteously, who tests the heart and the mind, I will see your vengeance on them; for to you I have revealed my cause.
21 Esto es lo que dice el Señor acerca de la gente de Anatot que trata de matarte, diciéndote: “No profetices en nombre del Señor, o te mataremos”.
21 “Therefore Yahweh says concerning the men of Anathoth, who seek your life, saying, ‘You shall not prophesy in Yahweh’s name, that you not die by our hand’—
22 Esta es la respuesta del Señor Todopoderoso: Los castigaré. Sus jóvenes morirán a espada, sus hijos e hijas morirán de hambre.
22 therefore Yahweh of Armies says, ‘Behold, I will punish them. The young men will die by the sword. Their sons and their daughters will die by famine.
23 No quedará nadie porque traeré el desastre sobre el pueblo de Anatot en el momento en que sea castigado.
23 There will be no remnant to them, for I will bring evil on the men of Anathoth, even the year of their visitation.’”

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).

    … thing it is impossible to receive, not only if themselves ask it, but although others having much confidence towards God entreat for them, like as even Jeremiah praying for the Jews did hear, "Pray not thou for this people, because I will not hear thee." But if all things are there, and thou ask things expedient, and contribute all thine …
