Jeremiah 20
1 And Pashhur, the son of Immer, the priest who had been appointed leader in the house of the Lord, heard Jeremiah prophesying these words.
Cuando el sacerdote Fasur, hijo de Imer, superintendente de la Casa de Yahvé, oyó a Jeremías que profetizaba estas cosas,
2 And Pashhur struck the prophet Jeremiah, and he sent him to the stocks, which were at the upper gate of Benjamin at the house of the Lord.
mandó azotar al profeta Jeremías, y le puso en el cepo que hay a la puerta superior de Benjamín, en la Casa de Yahvé.
3 And when it had become light on the next day, Pashhur led Jeremiah from the stocks. And Jeremiah said to him: “The Lord has not called your name: ‘Pashhur,’ but instead: ‘Fear all around.’”
Cuando al día siguiente Fasur sacó a Jeremías del cepo, le dijo Jeremías: “Yahvé no te llama más Fasur, sino «Terror por doquier»,
4 For thus says the Lord: “Behold, I will give you over to fear, you and all your friends, and they will fall by the sword of their enemies, and your eyes will see it. And I will give all of Judah into the hand of the king of Babylon. And he will lead them away to Babylon, and he will strike them with the sword.
porque así dice Yahvé: He aquí que Yo haré que seas un terror para ti y para todos tus amigos, los cuales caerán por la espada de sus enemigos, viéndolo tus mismos ojos; y entregaré todo Judá en manos del rey de Babilonia, quien los transportará a Babilonia y los pasara a filo de espada.
5 And I will give away the entire substance of this city, and all its labor, and every precious thing. And I will give all the treasures of the kings of Judah into the hands of their enemies. And they will plunder them, and take them away, and lead them into Babylon.
Y todas las riquezas de esta ciudad, todos sus productos y todos sus objetos preciosos, y todos los tesoros de los reyes de Judá los entregaré en manos de sus enemigos, quienes los saquearán y se apoderarán de ellos para llevarlos a Babilonia.
6 But you, Pashhur, and all the inhabitants of your house, will go into captivity. And you will go to Babylon. And there you shall die. And there you shall be buried, you and all your friends, to whom you have prophesied a lie.”
Y tú, Fasur, y todos los que habitan en tu casa, iréis a la cautividad; llegarás a Babilonia, donde morirás, y donde serás sepultado, tú y todos tus amigos, a quienes profetizaste mentiras.”
7 “You have led me away, O Lord, and I have been led away. You have been stronger than I, and you have prevailed. I have become a derision all day long; everyone mocks me.
Tú me sedujiste, Yahvé, y yo me dejé seducir; Tú fuiste más fuerte que yo, y prevaleciste; por eso soy todo el día objeto de burla, todos se mofan de mí.
8 For I speak now as I have long spoken: crying out against iniquity and proclaiming devastation. And the word of the Lord has been made into a reproach against me and a derision, all day long.
Porque siempre que hablo, tengo que gritar, y clamar: “¡Ruina y devastación!”, porque la palabra de Yahvé es para mí un oprobio, una afrenta todo el día.
9 Then I said: I will not call him to mind, nor will I speak any longer in his name. And my heart became like a raging fire, enclosed within my bones. And I became weary of continuing to bear it.
Por eso me dije: “No me acordaré ya de Él ni hablaré más en su Nombre”, pero luego sentí en mi corazón como un fuego abrasador, encerrado en mis huesos; y me esforcé por contenerlo, pero no pude.
10 For I heard the insults of many, and terror all around: ‘Persecute him!’ and, ‘Let us persecute him!’ from all the men who had been at peace with me and who had kept watch by my side. ‘If only there were some way that he might be deceived, and we might prevail against him and obtain vengeance from him!’
Oí cómo muchos decían: “Atemoricémosle por todos lados, delatadle; sí, le delataremos.” Todos los que yo trataba como amigos, espían mis pasos. “Quizás se deje engañar y prevaleceremos contra él; y tomaremos de él venganza.”
11 But the Lord is with me, like a strong warrior. For this reason, those who persecute me will fall, and they will be ineffective. They will be greatly confounded. For they have not understood the everlasting disgrace that will never be wiped away.
Pero Yahvé está conmigo como un fuerte guerrero; por eso tropezarán los que me persiguen, y no prevalecerán; quedaran sumamente avergonzados al ver frustrados sus planes; será una afrenta eterna que nunca se borrará.
12 And you, O Lord of hosts, the Tester of the just, who sees the temperament and the heart: I beg you to let me see your vengeance upon them. For I have revealed my case to you.
Oh Yahvé de los ejércitos, que pruebas al justo, que escudriñas los riñones y el corazón, vea yo la venganza qué tomarás de ellos, porque a Ti confío mi causa.
13 Sing to the Lord! Praise the Lord! For he has freed the soul of the poor from the hand of the wicked.
Cantad a Yahvé, alabad a Yahvé, porque Él libra la vida del pobre de la mano de los malvados.
14 Cursed is the day on which I was born! The day on which my mother gave birth to me: let it not be blessed!
¡Maldito el día en que nací! ¡No sea bendito el día en que me dio a luz mi madre!
15 Cursed is the man who announced it to my father, saying, ‘A male child has been born to you,’ causing him to rejoice with gladness.
¡Maldito el hombre que dio a mi padre la noticia: “Te ha nacido un hijo varón”, colmándole así de alegría!
16 Let that man be like the cities that the Lord has overthrown without regret. Let him hear an outcry in the morning, and wailing at the time of midday!
¡Sea aquel hombre como las ciudades que destruye Yahvé sin compasión! ¡Oiga él gritos por la mañana, y el estruendo (de la guerra) al mediodía!
17 So let him be, who did not put me to death from the womb, so that my mother would have been my sepulcher, and her womb would have been my eternal resting place!
¿Por qué no me hizo morir en el seno materno, de modo que mi madre fuese mi sepulcro, y su seno una eterna preñez?
18 Why did I depart from the womb, so that I would see hardship and sorrow, and so that my days would be consumed by trouble?”
¿Por qué salí del seno para ver dolor y aflicción y consumir mis días en ignominia?
