1 At the same time, saith the LORD, I will be the God of all the families of Israel, and they shall be my people.
1 EN aquel tiempo, dice Jehová, yo seré por Dios á todos los linajes de Israel, y ellos me serán á mí por pueblo.
2 Thus saith the LORD, The people [who were] left by the sword found grace in the wilderness; [even] Israel, when I went to cause him to rest.
2 Así ha dicho Jehová: Halló gracia en el desierto el pueblo, los que escaparon del cuchillo, yendo [yo] para hacer hallar reposo á Israel.
3 The LORD appeared of old to me, [saying] , I have loved thee with an everlasting love: therefore with loving-kindness have I drawn thee.
3 Jehová se manifestó á mí ya mucho tiempo há, [diciendo]: Con amor eterno te he amado; por tanto te soporté con misericordia.
4 Again I will build thee, and thou shalt be built, O virgin of Israel; thou shalt again be adorned with thy tabrets, and shalt go forth in the dances of them that make merry.
4 Aun te edificaré, y serás edificada, oh virgen de Israel: todavía serás adornada con tus panderos, y saldrás en corro de danzantes.
5 Thou shalt yet plant vines upon the mountains of Samaria: the planters shall plant, and shall eat [them] as common things.
5 Aun plantarás viñas en los montes de Samaria: plantarán los plantadores, y harán común uso [de ellas].
6 For there shall be a day, [that] the watchmen upon the mount Ephraim shall cry, Arise ye, and let us go up to Zion to the LORD our God.
6 Porque habrá día en que clamarán los guardas en el monte de Ephraim: Levantaos, y subamos á Sión, á Jehová nuestro Dios.
7 For thus saith the LORD; Sing with gladness for Jacob, and shout among the chief of the nations: publish ye, praise ye, and say, O LORD, save thy people, the remnant of Israel.
7 Porque así ha dicho Jehová: Regocijaos en Jacob con alegría, y dad voces de júbilo á la cabeza de gentes; haced oir, alabad, y decid: Oh Jehová, salva tu pueblo, el resto de Israel.
8 Behold, I will bring them from the north country, and gather them from the borders of the earth, [and] with them the blind and the lame, the woman with child and her that travaileth with child together: a great company shall return thither.
8 He aquí yo los vuelvo de tierra del aquilón, y los juntaré de los fines de la tierra, y entre ellos ciegos y cojos, la mujer preñada y la parida juntamente; en grande compañía tornarán acá.
9 They shall come with weeping, and with supplications will I lead them: I will cause them to walk by the rivers of waters in a straight way, wherein they shall not stumble: for I am a father to Israel, and Ephraim [is] my first-born.
9 Irán con lloro, mas con misericordias los haré volver, y harélos andar junto á arroyos de aguas, por camino derecho en el cual no tropezarán: porque soy á Israel por padre, y Ephraim es mi primogénito.
10 Hear the word of the LORD, O ye nations, and declare [it] in the isles afar off, and say, He that scattered Israel will gather him, and keep him, as a shepherd [doth] his flock.
10 Oid palabra de Jehová, oh gentes, y hacedlo saber en las islas que están lejos, y decid: El que esparció á Israel lo juntará y guardará, como pastor á su ganado.
11 For the LORD hath redeemed Jacob, and ransomed him from the hand of [him that was] stronger than he.
11 Porque Jehová redimió á Jacob, redimiólo de mano del más fuerte que él.
12 Therefore they shall come and sing in the hight of Zion, and shall flow together to the goodness of the LORD, for wheat, and for wine, and for oil, and for the young of the flock and of the herd: and their soul shall be as a watered garden; and they shall not sorrow any more at all.
12 Y vendrán, y harán alabanzas en lo alto de Sión, y correrán al bien de Jehová, al pan, y al vino, y al aceite, y al ganado de las ovejas y de las vacas; y su alma será como huerto de riego, ni nunca más tendrán dolor.
13 Then shall the virgin rejoice in the dance, both young men and old together: for I will turn their mourning into joy, and will comfort them, and make them rejoice from their sorrow.
13 Entonces la virgen se holgará en la danza, los mozos y los viejos juntamente; y su lloro tornaré en gozo, y los consolaré, y los alegraré de su dolor.
14 And I will satiate the soul of the priests with fatness, and my people shall be satisfied with my goodness, saith the LORD.
14 Y el alma del sacerdote embriagaré de grosura, y será mi pueblo saciado de mi bien, dice Jehová.
15 Thus saith the LORD; A voice was heard in Ramah, lamentation, [and] bitter weeping; Rachel weeping for her children refused to be comforted for her children, because they [were] not.
15 Así ha dicho Jehová: Voz fué oída en Ramá, llanto y lloro amargo: Rachêl que lamenta por sus hijos, no quiso ser consolada acerca de sus hijos, porque perecieron.
16 Thus saith the LORD; Refrain thy voice from weeping, and thy eyes from tears: for thy work shall be rewarded, saith the LORD; and they shall come again from the land of the enemy.
16 Así ha dicho Jehová: Reprime tu voz del llanto, y tus ojos de las lágrimas; porque salario hay para tu obra, dice Jehová, y volverán de la tierra del enemigo.
17 And there is hope in thy end, saith the LORD, that thy children shall come again to their own border.
17 Esperanza también hay para tu fin, dice Jehová, y los hijos volverán á su término.
18 I have surely heard Ephraim bemoaning himself [thus] ; Thou hast chastised me, and I was chastised, as a bullock unaccustomed [to the yoke] : turn thou me, and I shall be turned; for thou [art] the LORD my God.
18 Escuchando, he oído á Ephraim que se lamentaba: Azotásteme, y fuí castigado como novillo indómito: conviérteme y seré convertido; porque tú eres Jehová mi Dios.
19 Surely after I was turned, I repented; and after I was instructed, I smote upon [my] thigh: I was ashamed, and even confounded, because I bore the reproach of my youth.
19 Porque después que me convertí, tuve arrepentimiento, y después que me conocí, herí el muslo: avergoncéme, y confundíme, porque llevé la afrenta de mis mocedades.
20 [Is] Ephraim my dear son? [is he] a pleasant child? for since I spoke against him, I do earnestly remember him still: therefore my bowels are troubled for him; I will surely have mercy upon him, saith the LORD.
20 ¿No es Ephraim hijo precioso para mí? ¿no es niño delicioso? pues desde que hablé de él, heme acordado de él constantemente. Por eso mis entrañas se conmovieron por él: apiadado, tendré de él misericordia, dice Jehová.
21 Set thee up way-marks, make thee high heaps: set thy heart towards the highway, [even] the way [which] thou wentest; turn again, O virgin of Israel, turn again to these thy cities.
21 Establécete señales, ponte majanos altos; nota atentamente la calzada, el camino por donde viniste: vuélvete, virgen de Israel, vuélvete á estas tus ciudades.
22 How long wilt thou wander about, O thou backsliding daughter? for the LORD hath created a new thing in the earth, A woman shall compass a man.
22 ¿Hasta cuándo andarás errante, oh hija contumaz? porque Jehová criará una cosa nueva sobre la tierra: una hembra rodeará al varón.
23 Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; As yet they shall use this speech in the land of Judah and in her cities, when I shall bring again their captivity; The LORD bless thee, O habitation of justice, mountain of holiness.
23 Así ha dicho Jehová de los ejércitos, Dios de Israel: Aun dirán esta palabra en la tierra de Judá y en sus ciudades, cuando yo convertiré su cautiverio: Jehová te bendiga, oh morada de justicia, oh monte santo.
24 And there shall dwell in Judah itself, and in all her cities together, husbandmen, and they [that] go forth with flocks.
24 Y morarán allí Judá, y también en todas sus ciudades labradores, y los que van con rebaño.
25 For I have satiated the weary soul, and I have replenished every sorrowful soul.
25 Porque habré embriagado el alma cansada, y henchido toda alma entristecida.
26 Upon this I awaked, and beheld; and my sleep was sweet to me.
26 En esto me desperté, y vi, y mi sueño me fué sabroso.
27 Behold, the days come saith the LORD, that I will sow the house of Israel and the house of Judah with the seed of man, and with the seed of beast.
27 He aquí vienen días, dice Jehová, en que sembraré la casa de Israel y la casa de Judá de simiente de hombre y de simiente de animal.
28 And it shall come to pass, [that] as I have watched over them, to pluck up, and to break down, and to throw down, and to destroy, and to afflict; so will I watch over them, to build and to plant, saith the LORD.
28 Y será que, como tuve cuidado de ellos para arrancar y derribar, y trastornar y perder, y afligir, así tendré cuidado de ellos para edificar y plantar, dice Jehová.
29 In those days they shall say no more, The fathers have eaten a sour grape, and the children's teeth are set on edge.
29 En aquellos días no dirán más: Los padres comieron las uvas agraces, y los dientes de los hijos tienen la dentera.
30 But every one shall die for his own iniquity: every man that eateth the sour grape, his teeth shall be set on edge.
30 Sino que cada cual morirá por su maldad; los dientes de todo hombre que comiere las uvas agraces, tendrán la dentera.
31 Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah:
31 He aquí que vienen días, dice Jehová, en los cuales haré nuevo pacto con la casa de Jacob y con la casa de Judá:
32 Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day [that] I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; which my covenant they broke, although I was a husband to them, saith the LORD:
32 No como el pacto que hice con sus padres el día que tomé su mano para sacarlos de tierra de Egipto; porque ellos invalidaron mi pacto, bien que fuí yo un marido para ellos, dice Jehová:
33 But this [shall be] the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the LORD, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people.
33 Mas éste es el pacto que haré con la casa de Israel después de aquellos días, dice Jehová: Daré mi ley en sus entrañas, y escribiréla en sus corazones; y seré yo á ellos por Dios, y ellos me serán por pueblo.
34 And they shall teach no more every man his neighbor, and every man his brother, saying, Know the LORD: for they shall all know me, from the least of them to the greatest of them, saith the LORD: for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.
34 Y no enseñará más ninguno á su prójimo, ni ninguno á su hermano, diciendo: Conoce á Jehová: porque todos me conocerán, desde el más pequeño de ellos hasta el más grande, dice Jehová: porque perdonaré la maldad de ellos, y no me acordaré más de su pecado.
35 Thus saith the LORD, who giveth the sun for a light by day, [and] the ordinances of the moon and of the stars for a light by night, who divideth the sea when its waves roar; The LORD of hosts [is] his name:
35 Así ha dicho Jehová, que da el sol para luz del día, las leyes de la luna y de las estrellas para luz de la noche; que parte la mar y braman sus ondas; Jehová de los ejércitos es su nombre:
36 If those ordinances depart from before me, saith the LORD, [then] the seed of Israel also shall cease from being a nation before me for ever.
36 Si estas leyes faltaren delante de mí, dice Jehová, también la simiente de Israel faltará para no ser nación delante de mí todos los días.
37 Thus saith the LORD; If heaven above can be measured, and the foundations of the earth searched out beneath, I will also cast off all the seed of Israel for all that they have done, saith the LORD.
37 Así ha dicho Jehová: Si los cielos arriba se pueden medir, y buscarse abajo los fundamentos de la tierra, también yo desecharé toda la simiente de Israel por todo lo que hicieron, dice Jehová.
38 Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that the city shall be built to the LORD from the tower of Hananeel to the gate of the corner.
38 He aquí que vienen días, dice Jehová, y la ciudad será edificada á Jehová, desde la torre de Hananeel hasta la puerta del rincón.
39 And the measuring line shall yet go forth over against it upon the hill Gareb, and shall compass about to Goath.
39 Y saldrá más adelante el cordel de la medida delante de él sobre el collado de Hareb, y rodeará á Goa.
40 And the whole valley of the dead bodies, and of the ashes, and all the fields to the brook of Kidron, to the corner of the horse-gate towards the east, [shall be] holy to the LORD; it shall not be plucked up, nor thrown down any more for ever.
40 Y todo el valle de los cuerpos muertos y de la ceniza, y todas las llanuras hasta el arroyo de Cedrón, hasta la esquina de la puerta de los caballos al oriente, será santo á Jehová: no será arrancada, ni destruída más para siempre.

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).
As also Jeremiah declares, "The Lord hath redeemed Jacob, and has snatched him from the hand of him that was stronger than he." If, then, he had not pointed out Him who binds and spoils his goods, but had merely spoken of him as being strong, the strong man should have been unconquered.
For Jeremiah himself says, "Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that I will complete over the house of Jacob a new testament," and the rest, which may be read there. For the present I shall put down those predictions about Christ by the prophet Zephaniah, who prophesied with Jeremiah.

"Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremy the prophet, saying, In Rama was there a voice heard, Rachel weeping for her children, and would not be comforted, because they are not."

As He does Himself say in David, "I slept, and took repose." And because He used thus to act while He dwelt and lived among us, He says again, "And my sleep became sweet unto me." Now this whole matter was indicated through Lot, that the seed of the Father of all--that is, of the Spirit of God, by whom …
