1 At that time, an affirmation of Jehovah, I am for God to all families of Israel, And they — they are to Me for a 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 said Jehovah: Found grace in the wilderness Hath a people remaining from the sword Going to cause it to rest — Israel.
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 From afar Jehovah hath appeared to me, With love age-during I have loved thee, Therefore I have drawn thee [with] kindness.
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 do I build thee, And thou hast been built, O virgin of Israel, Again thou puttest on thy tabrets, And hast gone out in the chorus of the playful.
4 Aun te edificaré, y serás edificada, oh virgen de Israel: todavía serás adornada con tus panderos, y saldrás en corro de danzantes.
5 Again thou dost plant vineyards In mountains of Samaria, Planters have planted, and made common.
5 Aun plantarás viñas en los montes de Samaria: plantarán los plantadores, y harán común uso [de ellas].
6 For there is a day, Cried have watchmen on mount Ephraim, 'Rise, and we go up to Zion, unto Jehovah 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 said Jehovah: Sing, O ye to Jacob, [with] joy, And cry aloud at the head of the nations, Sound ye, praise ye, and say, Save, O Jehovah, 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 Lo, I am bringing them in from the north country, And have gathered them from the sides of the earth, Among them [are] blind and lame, Conceiving and travailing one — together, A great assembly — they turn back hither.
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 With weeping they come in, And with supplications I bring them, I cause them to go unto streams of waters, In a right way — they stumble not in it, For I have been to Israel for a father, And Ephraim — My first-born [is] he.
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 a word of Jehovah, O nations, And declare ye among isles afar off, and say: He who is scattering Israel doth gather him, And hath kept 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 Jehovah hath ransomed Jacob, And redeemed him from a hand stronger than he.
11 Porque Jehová redimió á Jacob, redimiólo de mano del más fuerte que él.
12 And they have come in, And have sung in the high place of Zion, And flowed unto the goodness of Jehovah, For wheat, and for new wine, and for oil, And for the young of the flock and herd, And their soul hath been as a watered garden, And they add not to grieve any more.
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 rejoice doth a virgin in a chorus, Both young men and old men — together, And I have turned their mourning to joy, And have comforted them, And gladdened them above 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 satisfied the soul of the priests [with] fatness, And My people with My goodness are satisfied, An affirmation of Jehovah.
14 Y el alma del sacerdote embriagaré de grosura, y será mi pueblo saciado de mi bien, dice Jehová.
15 Thus said Jehovah, A voice in Ramah is heard, wailing, weeping most bitter, Rachel is weeping for her sons, She hath refused to be comforted for her sons, because they are 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 said Jehovah: Withhold thy voice from weeping, and thine eyes from tears, For there is a reward for thy work, An affirmation of Jehovah, And they have turned back 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 for thy latter end, An affirmation of Jehovah, And the sons have turned back [to] their 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, 'Thou hast chastised me, And I am chastised, as a heifer not taught, Turn me back, and I turn back, For thou [art] Jehovah 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 For after my turning back I repented, And after my being instructed I struck on the thigh, I have been ashamed, I have also blushed, For I have borne 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 A precious son is Ephraim to Me? A child of delights? For since My speaking against him, I do thoroughly remember him still, Therefore have My bowels been moved for him, I do greatly love him, An affirmation of Jehovah.
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 up for thee signs, make for thee heaps, Set thy heart to the highway, the way thou wentest, Turn back, O virgin of Israel, Turn back unto 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 Till when dost thou withdraw thyself, O backsliding daughter? For Jehovah hath prepared a new thing in the land, Woman doth compass 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 said Jehovah of Hosts, God of Israel, Still they say this word in the land of Judah, And in its cities, In My turning back [to] their captivity, Jehovah doth bless thee, habitation of righteousness, 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 dwelt in Judah have husbandmen, and in all its cities together, And they have journeyed in order.
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 every grieved soul I have filled.'
25 Porque habré embriagado el alma cansada, y henchido toda alma entristecida.
26 On this I have awaked, and I behold, and my sleep hath been sweet to me.
26 En esto me desperté, y vi, y mi sueño me fué sabroso.
27 Lo, days are coming, an affirmation of Jehovah, And I have sown the house of Israel, And the house of Judah, With seed of man, and 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 hath been, as I watched over them to pluck up, And to break down, and to throw down, And to destroy, and to afflict; So do I watch over them to build, and to plant, An affirmation of Jehovah.
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 do not say any more: Fathers have eaten unripe fruit, And the sons' teeth are blunted.
29 En aquellos días no dirán más: Los padres comieron las uvas agraces, y los dientes de los hijos tienen la dentera.
30 But — each for his own iniquity doth die, Every man who is eating the unripe fruit, Blunted are his teeth.
30 Sino que cada cual morirá por su maldad; los dientes de todo hombre que comiere las uvas agraces, tendrán la dentera.
31 Lo, days are coming, an affirmation of Jehovah, And I have made with the house of Israel And with the house of Judah a new covenant,
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 like the covenant that I made with their fathers, In the day of My laying hold on their hand, To bring them out of the land of Egypt, In that they made void My covenant, And I ruled over them — an affirmation of Jehovah.
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 For this [is] the covenant that I make, With the house of Israel, after those days, An affirmation of Jehovah, I have given My law in their inward part, And on their heart I do write it, And I have been to them for God, And they are to me for a 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 do not teach any more Each his neighbour, and each his brother, Saying, Know ye Jehovah, For they all know Me, from their least unto their greatest, An affirmation of Jehovah; For I pardon their iniquity, And of their sin I make mention 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 said Jehovah, Who is giving the sun for a light by day, The statutes of moon and stars for a light by night, Quieting the sea when its billows roar, Jehovah 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 these statutes depart from before Me, An affirmation of Jehovah, Even the seed of Israel doth cease From being a nation before Me all the days.
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 said Jehovah: If the heavens above be measured, And the foundations of earth below searched, Even I kick against all the seed of Israel, For all that they have done, An affirmation of Jehovah.
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 Lo, days [are coming], an affirmation of Jehovah, And the city hath been built to Jehovah, 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 gone out again hath the measuring line Over-against it, unto the height of Gareb, And it hath compassed to Goah.
39 Y saldrá más adelante el cordel de la medida delante de él sobre el collado de Hareb, y rodeará á Goa.
40 And all the valley of the carcases and of the ashes, And all the fields unto the brook Kidron, Unto the corner of the horse-gate eastward, [Are] holy to Jehovah, it is not plucked up, Nor is it thrown down any more to the age!
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.

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."
