1 ◆ That which hath been the word of Jehovah unto Jeremiah the prophet concerning the nations,

1 PALABRA de Jehová que fué á Jeremías profeta, contra las gentes.

1 Yahweh’s word which came to Jeremiah the prophet concerning the nations.

2 For Egypt, concerning the force of Pharaoh-Necho king of Egypt, that hath been by the river Phrat, in Carchemish, that Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon hath smitten, in the fourth year of Jehoiakim son of Josiah king of Judah:

2 En orden á Egipto: contra el ejército de Faraón Nechâo rey de Egipto, que estaba cerca del río Eufrates en Carchêmis, al cual hirió Nabucodonosor rey de Babilonia el año cuarto de Joacim hijo de Josías, rey de Judá.

2 Of Egypt: concerning the army of Pharaoh Necoh king of Egypt, which was by the river Euphrates in Carchemish, which Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon struck in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah.

3 'Set ye in array shield and buckler, And draw nigh to battle.

3 Aparejad escudo y pavés, y venid á la guerra.

3 “Prepare the buckler and shield, and draw near to battle!

4 Gird the horses, and go up, ye horsemen, And station yourselves with helmets, Polish the javelins, put on the coats of mail.

4 Uncid caballos, y subid, vosotros los caballeros, y poneos con capacetes; limpiad las lanzas, vestíos de lorigas.

4 Harness the horses, and get up, you horsemen, and stand up with your helmets. Polish the spears, put on the coats of mail.

5 Wherefore have I seen them dismayed — They are turned backward, And their mighty ones are beaten down, And [to] a refuge they have fled, and not turned the face? Fear [is] round about — an affirmation of Jehovah.

5 ¿Por qué los vi medrosos, tornando atrás? y sus valientes fueron deshechos, y huyeron á más huir sin volver á mirar atrás: miedo de todas partes, dice Jehová.

5 Why have I seen it? They are dismayed and are turned backward. Their mighty ones are beaten down, have fled in haste, and don’t look back. Terror is on every side,” says Yahweh.

6 The swift do not flee, nor do the mighty escape, Northward, by the side of the river Phrat, They have stumbled and fallen.

6 No huya el ligero, ni el valiente escape; al aquilón junto á la ribera del Eufrates tropezaron y cayeron.

6 “Don’t let the swift flee away, nor the mighty man escape. In the north by the river Euphrates they have stumbled and fallen.

7 Who is this? as a flood he cometh up, As rivers do his waters shake themselves!

7 ¿Quién es éste que como río sube, y cuyas aguas se mueven como ríos?

7 “Who is this who rises up like the Nile, like rivers whose waters surge?

8 Egypt, as a flood cometh up, And as rivers the waters shake themselves. And he saith, I go up; I cover the land, I destroy the city and the inhabitants in it.

8 Egipto como río se hincha, y las aguas se mueven como ríos, y dijo: Subiré, cubriré la tierra, destruiré la ciudad y los que en ella moran.

8 Egypt rises up like the Nile, like rivers whose waters surge. He says, ‘I will rise up. I will cover the earth. I will destroy cities and its inhabitants.’

9 Go up, ye horses; and boast yourselves, ye chariots, And go forth, ye mighty, Cush and Phut handling the shield, And Lud handling — treading the bow.

9 Subid, caballos, y alborotaos, carros; y salgan los valientes: los de Cus y los de Phut que toman escudo, y los de Lut que toman y entesan arco.

9 Go up, you horses! Rage, you chariots! Let the mighty men go out: Cush and Put, who handle the shield; and the Ludim, who handle and bend the bow.

10 And that day [is] to the Lord Jehovah of Hosts A day of vengeance, To be avenged of His adversaries, And the sword hath devoured, and been satisfied, And it hath been watered from their blood, For a sacrifice [is] to the Lord Jehovah of Hosts, In the land of the north, by the river Phrat.

10 Mas ese día será á Jehová Dios de los ejércitos día de venganza, para vengarse de sus enemigos: y la espada devorará y se hartará, y se embriagará de la sangre de ellos: porque matanza será á Jehová, Dios de los ejércitos, en tierra del aquilón junto al río Eufrates.

10 For that day is of the Lord, Yahweh of Armies, a day of vengeance, that he may avenge himself of his adversaries. The sword will devour and be satiated, and will drink its fill of their blood; for the Lord, Yahweh of Armies, has a sacrifice in the north country by the river Euphrates.

11 Go up to Gilead, and take balm, O virgin daughter of Egypt, In vain thou hast multiplied medicines, Healing there is none for thee.

11 Sube á Galaad, y toma bálsamo, virgen hija de Egipto: por demás multiplicarás medicinas; no hay cura para ti.

11 Go up into Gilead, and take balm, virgin daughter of Egypt. You use many medicines in vain. There is no healing for you.

12 Nations have heard of thy shame, And thy cry hath filled the land, For the mighty on the mighty did stumble, Together they have fallen — both of them!'

12 Las gentes oyeron tu afrenta, y tu clamor hinchió la tierra: porque fuerte se encontró con fuerte, y cayeron ambos juntos.

12 The nations have heard of your shame, and the earth is full of your cry; for the mighty man has stumbled against the mighty, they both fall together.”

13 The word that Jehovah hath spoken unto Jeremiah the prophet concerning the coming in of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, to smite the land of Egypt:

13 Palabra que habló Jehová á Jeremías profeta acerca de la venida de Nabucodonosor, rey de Babilonia, para herir la tierra de Egipto:

13 The word that Yahweh spoke to Jeremiah the prophet, how that Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon should come and strike the land of Egypt:

14 'Declare ye in Egypt, and sound in Migdol, Yea, sound in Noph, and in Tahpanhes say: Station thyself, yea, prepare for thee, For a sword hath devoured around thee,

14 Denunciad en Egipto, y haced saber en Migdol: haced saber también en Noph y en Taphnes; decid: Para, y apercíbete; porque espada ha de devorar tu comarca.

14 “Declare in Egypt, publish in Migdol, and publish in Memphis and in Tahpanhes; say, ‘Stand up, and prepare, for the sword has devoured around you.’

15 Wherefore hath thy bull been swept away? He hath not stood, because Jehovah thrust him away.

15 ¿Por qué ha sido derribado tu fuerte? no se pudo tener, porque Jehová lo rempujó.

15 Why are your strong ones swept away? They didn’t stand, because Yahweh pushed them.

16 He hath multiplied the stumbling, Yea one hath fallen upon his neighbour, And they say: Rise, and we turn back to our people, And unto the land of our birth, Because of the oppressing sword.

16 Multiplicó los caídos, y cada uno cayó sobre su compañero, y dijeron: Levántate y volvámonos á nuestro pueblo, y á la tierra de nuestro nacimiento, de delante de la espada vencedora.

16 He made many to stumble. Yes, they fell on one another. They said, ‘Arise! Let’s go again to our own people, and to the land of our birth, from the oppressing sword.’

17 They have cried there: Pharaoh king of Egypt [is] a desolation, Passed by hath the appointed time.

17 Allí gritaron: Faraón rey de Egipto, [rey de] revuelta: dejó pasar el tiempo señalado.

17 They cried there, ‘Pharaoh king of Egypt is but a noise; he has let the appointed time pass by.’

18 I live — an affirmation of the King, Jehovah of Hosts [is] His name, Surely as Tabor [is] among mountains, And as Carmel by the sea — he cometh in,

18 Vivo yo, dice el Rey, cuyo nombre es Jehová de los ejércitos, que como Tabor entre los montes, y como Carmelo en la mar, así vendrá.

18 “As I live,” says the King, whose name is Yahweh of Armies, “surely like Tabor among the mountains, and like Carmel by the sea, so he will come.

19 Goods for removal make for thee, O inhabitant, daughter of Egypt, For Noph becometh a desolation, And hath been burnt up, without inhabitant.

19 Hazte vasos de transmigración, moradora hija de Egipto; porque Noph será por yermo, y será asolada hasta no quedar morador.

19 You daughter who dwells in Egypt, furnish yourself to go into captivity; for Memphis will become a desolation, and will be burned up, without inhabitant.

20 A heifer very fair [is] Egypt, Rending from the north doth come into her.

20 Becerra hermosa Egipto; [mas] viene destrucción, del aquilón viene.

20 “Egypt is a very beautiful heifer; but destruction out of the north has come. It has come.

21 Even her hired ones in her midst [are] as calves of the stall, For even they have turned, They have fled together, they have not stood, For the day of their calamity hath come on them, The time of their inspection.

21 Sus soldados también en medio de ella como engordados becerros: que también ellos se volvieron, huyeron todos sin pararse: porque vino sobre ellos el día de su quebrantamiento, el tiempo de su visitación.

21 Also her hired men in the middle of her are like calves of the stall, for they also are turned back. They have fled away together. They didn’t stand, for the day of their calamity has come on them, the time of their visitation.

22 Its voice as a serpent goeth on, For with a force they go, And with axes they have come in to her, As hewers of trees.

22 Su voz saldrá como de serpiente; porque con ejército vendrán, y con hachas vienen á ella como cortadores de leña.

22 Its sound will go like the serpent, for they will march with an army, and come against her with axes, as wood cutters.

23 They have cut down her forest, An affirmation of Jehovah — for it is not searched, For they have been more than the grasshopper, And they have no numbering.

23 Cortaron su bosque, dice Jehová, porque no podrán ser contados; porque serán más que langostas, ni tendrán número.

23 They will cut down her forest,” says Yahweh, “though it can’t be searched; because they are more than the locusts, and are innumerable.

24 Ashamed hath been the daughter of Egypt, She hath been given into the hand of the people of the north.

24 Avergonzóse la hija de Egipto; entregada será en mano del pueblo del aquilón.

24 The daughter of Egypt will be disappointed; she will be delivered into the hand of the people of the north.”

25 Said hath Jehovah of Hosts, God of Israel: Lo, I am seeing after Amon of No, And after Pharaoh, and after Egypt, And after her gods, and after her kings, And after Pharaoh, and after those trusting in him,

25 Jehová de los ejércitos, Dios de Israel, ha dicho: He aquí que yo visito el pueblo de Amón de No, y á Faraón y á Egipto, y á sus dioses y á sus reyes; así á Faraón como á los que en él confían.

25 Yahweh of Armies, the God of Israel, says: “Behold, I will punish Amon of No, and Pharaoh, and Egypt, with her gods and her kings, even Pharaoh, and those who trust in him.

26 And I have given them into the hand of those seeking their life, And into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, And into the hand of his servants, And afterwards it is inhabited, As [in] days of old — an affirmation of Jehovah.

26 Y entregarélos en mano de los que buscan su alma, y en mano de Nabucodonosor rey de Babilonia, y en mano de sus siervos: mas después será habitada como en los días pasados, dice Jehová.

26 I will deliver them into the hand of those who seek their lives, and into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and into the hand of his servants. Afterwards it will be inhabited, as in the days of old,” says Yahweh.

27 And thou, thou dost not fear, my servant Jacob, Nor [art] thou dismayed, O Israel, For lo, I am saving thee from afar, And thy seed from the land of their captivity, And Jacob hath turned back, And hath been at rest, and been at ease, And there is none disturbing.

27 Y tú no temas, siervo mío Jacob, y no desmayes, Israel; porque he aquí que yo te salvo de lejos, y á tu simiente de la tierra de su cautividad. Y volverá Jacob, y descansará y será prosperado, y no habrá quien lo espante.

27 “But don’t you be afraid, Jacob my servant. Don’t be dismayed, Israel; for, behold, I will save you from afar, and your offspring from the land of their captivity. Jacob will return, and will be quiet and at ease. No one will make him afraid.

28 Thou, thou dost not fear, My servant Jacob, An affirmation of Jehovah — for with thee I [am], For I make an end of all the nations Whither I have driven thee, And of thee I do not make an end, And I have reproved thee in judgment, And do not entirely acquit thee!'

28 Tú, siervo mío Jacob, no temas, dice Jehová; porque yo soy contigo: porque haré consumación en todas las gentes á las cuales te habré echado; mas en ti no haré consumación, sino que te castigaré con juicio, y no te talaré del todo.

28 Don’t be afraid, O Jacob my servant,” says Yahweh, “for I am with you; for I will make a full end of all the nations where I have driven you, but I will not make a full end of you, but I will correct you in measure, and will in no way leave you unpunished.”

Why does my Bible say something different?

Jeremiah: a shorter book in a different order
The Greek Septuagint of Jeremiah is markedly shorter than the Hebrew text and arranges the book differently: the oracles against the nations come in the middle, after 25:13, not at the end. Hebrew fragments from Qumran show that a shorter Hebrew form of Jeremiah really existed. Many scholars think Jeremiah circulated in two editions.
