1 Pasur, hijo de Imer, era un sacerdote y el funcionario encargado del Templo del Señor. Cuando oyó que Jeremías profetizaba estas cosas,
1 Now Pashhur, the son of Immer the priest, who was chief officer in Yahweh’s house, heard Jeremiah prophesying these things.
2 golpeó al profeta Jeremías y lo hizo poner en el calabozo de la Puerta Superior de Benjamín, cerca del Templo del Señor.
2 Then Pashhur struck Jeremiah the prophet and put him in the stocks that were in the upper gate of Benjamin, which was in Yahweh’s house.
3 Al día siguiente, cuando Pasur hizo que soltaran a Jeremías del cepo, éste le dijo: “El Señor no te llama Pasur (despedazar), sino Magor-misabib (el terror está en todas partes).
3 On the next day, Pashhur released Jeremiah out of the stocks. Then Jeremiah said to him, “Yahweh has not called your name Pashhur, but Magormissabib.
4 Porque esto es lo que dice el Señor: Voy a aterrorizarte a ti y a todos los que amas. Los enemigos los matarán mientras tú miras. Entregaré a Judá al rey de Babilonia. Matará a algunos, y al resto se lo llevará al exilio en Babilonia.
4 For Yahweh says, ‘Behold, I will make you a terror to yourself and to all your friends. They will fall by the sword of their enemies, and your eyes will see it. I will give all Judah into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he will carry them captive to Babylon, and will kill them with the sword.
5 “Lo entregaré todo. Todas las riquezas de esta ciudad, todos los resultados del trabajo duro, todos los objetos de valor, todas las joyas de la corona de los reyes de Judá: voy a entregárselas a sus enemigos, que las tomarán como botín y se las llevarán a Babilonia.
5 Moreover I will give all the riches of this city, and all its gains, and all its precious things, yes, I will give all the treasures of the kings of Judah into the hand of their enemies. They will make them captives, take them, and carry them to Babylon.
6 “Tú, Pasur, y todos los que viven contigo, irán al cautiverio. Irás a Babilonia. Morirás allí y serás enterrado, tú y todos los que amas, aquellos a los que les profetizaste mentiras”.
6 You, Pashhur, and all who dwell in your house will go into captivity. You will come to Babylon, and there you will die, and there you will be buried, you, and all your friends, to whom you have prophesied falsely.’”
7 Me engañaste, Señor, y me dejé engañar! Eres más fuerte que yo: ¡has ganado! Me he convertido en un chiste del que la gente se ríe todo el día. Todo el mundo se burla de mí.
7 Yahweh, you have persuaded me, and I was persuaded. You are stronger than I, and have prevailed. I have become a laughingstock all day. Everyone mocks me.
8 Esto se debe a que cada vez que abro la boca tengo que gritar amenazas de violencia y destrucción. El mensaje del Señor se ha convertido en la razón por la que la gente me critica y me ridiculiza todo el tiempo.
8 For as often as I speak, I cry out; I cry, “Violence and destruction!” because Yahweh’s word has been made a reproach to me, and a derision, all day.
9 Si me digo a mí mismo: “No hablaré más de él, ni siquiera mencionaré su nombre”, entonces su mensaje es como un fuego atrapado dentro de mí, que me quema por dentro. Me estoy cansando de aguantar. Simplemente no puedo ganar.
9 If I say that I will not make mention of him, or speak any more in his name, then there is in my heart as it were a burning fire shut up in my bones. I am weary with holding it in. I can’t.
10 He oído a mucha gente murmurar: “¡Él es el que dice que el terror está en todas partes! ¡Hay que denunciarle! Denunciar lo que hace!” Todos mis buenos amigos están esperando que cometa un error. “Tal vez cometa un error para que podamos derrotarlo y vengarnos de él”, dicen.
10 For I have heard the defaming of many: “Terror on every side! Denounce, and we will denounce him!” say all my familiar friends, those who watch for my fall. “Perhaps he will be persuaded, and we will prevail against him, and we will take our revenge on him.”
11 Pero el Señor está a mi lado como un poderoso guerrero. Por eso, los que me atacan caerán. No ganarán. Al no tener éxito quedarán totalmente deshonrados. Su vergüenza no se olvidará jamás.
11 But Yahweh is with me as an awesome mighty one. Therefore my persecutors will stumble, and they won’t prevail. They will be utterly disappointed because they have not dealt wisely, even with an everlasting dishonor which will never be forgotten.
12 Señor Todopoderoso, tú sabes sin lugar a dudas quién vive bien. Tú examinas los pensamientos y sentimientos de la gente. Así que deja que tu castigo caiga sobre ellos, porque he confiado en ti para que juzgues mi caso.
12 But Yahweh of Armies, who tests the righteous, who sees the heart and the mind, let me see your vengeance on them, for I have revealed my cause to you.
13 ¡Canten al Señor! ¡Alaben al Señor! Porque él salva a los pobres del poder de los malvados.
13 Sing to Yahweh! Praise Yahweh, for he has delivered the soul of the needy from the hand of evildoers.
14 ¡Que se maldiga el día en que nací! ¡Que el día en que mi madre me dio a luz nunca sea bendecido!
14 Cursed is the day in which I was born. Don’t let the day in which my mother bore me be blessed.
15 Que sea maldito el hombre que le trajo a mi padre la noticia que lo alegró mucho, diciendo: “Tienes un hijo”.
15 Cursed is the man who brought news to my father, saying, “A boy is born to you,” making him very glad.
16 Que ese hombre sea como las ciudades que el Señor destruyó sin piedad. Que oiga gritos de alarma por la mañana y gritos de guerra al mediodía,
16 Let that man be as the cities which Yahweh overthrew, and didn’t repent. Let him hear a cry in the morning, and shouting at noontime,
17 porque debió matarme en el vientre para que mi madre fuera mi tumba, quedando embarazada para siempre.
17 because he didn’t kill me from the womb. So my mother would have been my grave, and her womb always great.
18 ¿Por qué nací sólo para ver problemas y tristeza, y para terminar mi vida en la vergüenza?
18 Why did I come out of the womb to see labor and sorrow, that my days should be consumed with shame?
