Jeremiah 30
1 This is the word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord, saying:
Palabra que vino a Jeremías de parte de Yahvé, diciendo:
2 “Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel, saying: You shall write in a book all the words that I have spoken to you.
“Dice Yahvé, el Dios de Israel: ‘Escribe en un libro todas las palabras que te he dicho.
3 For behold, the days are approaching, says the Lord, when I will convert the turning away of my people, Israel and Judah, says the Lord. And I will return them to the land which I gave to their fathers, and they will possess it.”
Porque he aquí que vienen días — dice Yahvé — en que haré retroceder la cautividad de mi pueblo Israel y Judá — dice Yahvé. ‘Haré que vuelvan a la tierra que di a sus padres, y la poseerán’”.
4 And these are the words which the Lord has spoken to Israel and to Judah:
Estas son las palabras que Yahvé habló sobre Israel y sobre Judá.
5 For thus says the Lord: ‘We have heard a voice of terror. There is dread, and there is no peace.’
Porque Yahvé dice: “Hemos oído una voz temblorosa; una voz de miedo, y no de paz.
6 Inquire and see, does a male give birth? Then why have I seen every man with his hand on his lower back, like a woman bearing a child? And why have all of their faces turned pale?
Preguntad ahora y ved si un hombre está de parto. Por qué veo a todos los hombres con las manos en la cintura, como una mujer de parto, y todos los rostros se vuelven pálidos?
7 Woe! For that day is great, and there is nothing like it. For it is the time of tribulation for Jacob, but he will be saved from it.
¡Ay, porque ese día es grande, de modo que no hay ninguno como él! Es incluso el tiempo de la angustia de Jacob; pero se salvará de ello.
8 And this shall be in that day, says the Lord of hosts: I will crush his yoke from your neck, and I will break open his bands. And strangers will no longer rule over him.
Sucederá en ese día, dice el Señor de los Ejércitos, que romperé su yugo de tu cuello, y romperá tus ataduras. Los extraños ya no los convertirán en sus siervos;
9 Instead, they will serve the Lord their God, and David their king, whom I will raise up for them.
sino que servirán a Yahvé, su Dios, y David su rey, a quien yo les levantaré.
10 Therefore, O my servant Jacob, you should not be afraid, says the Lord, and you should not be frightened, O Israel. For behold, I will save you from a far away land, and your offspring from the land of their captivity. And Jacob will return and have rest, and he shall flow with every good thing. And there will be no one for him to dread.
No temas, pues, siervo mío Jacob, dice Yahvé. No te desanimes, Israel. Porque, he aquí que yo te salvaré desde lejos, y salva a tu descendencia de la tierra de su cautiverio. Jacob volverá, y estará tranquilo y a gusto. Nadie le hará tener miedo.
11 For I am with you, says the Lord, so that I may save you. For I will bring about the consummation of all the nations, among which I have scattered you. But I will not bring about your consummation. Instead, I will chastise you in judgment, so that you will not seem innocent to yourself.”
Porque yo estoy con ustedes, dice Yahvé, para salvarlos; porque voy a acabar por completo con todas las naciones en las que os he dispersado, pero no haré un final completo de ti; pero te corregiré en la medida, y de ninguna manera te dejará impune”.
12 For thus says the Lord: “Your fracture is incurable; your wound is very serious.
Porque Yahvé dice, “Tu herida es incurable. Tu herida es grave.
13 There is no one who may judge your judgment, so as to bandage it; there is no useful treatment for you.
No hay nadie que defienda tu causa, para que te aten. No tienes medicinas curativas.
14 All your lovers have forgotten you, and they will not seek you. For I have wounded you with the strike of an enemy, with a cruel chastisement. Your sins have become hardened because of the multitude of your iniquities.
Todos tus amantes te han olvidado. No te buscan. Porque te he herido con la herida de un enemigo, con el castigo de un cruel, por la grandeza de tu iniquidad, porque tus pecados fueron aumentados.
15 Why do you cry out over your affliction? Your pain is incurable. I have done these things to you because of the multitude of your iniquity and because of your hardened sins.
¿Por qué lloras por tu lesión? Su dolor es incurable. Por la grandeza de tu iniquidad, porque tus pecados han aumentado, Te he hecho estas cosas.
16 Because of this, all those who devour you, will be devoured. And all your enemies will be led into captivity. And those who devastate you, will be devastated. And all those who prey upon you, I will offer as a prey.
Por lo tanto, todos los que te devoran serán devorados. Todos tus adversarios, todos ellos, irán al cautiverio. Los que te saquean serán saqueados. Haré que todos los que se aprovechan de ti se conviertan en presa.
17 For I will close up your scar, and I will heal you of your wounds, says the Lord. For they have called you an outcast, O Zion: ‘This is she who has no one asking for her.’”
Porque yo te devolveré la salud, y te curaré de tus heridas”, dice Yahvé, “porque te han llamado paria, diciendo: “Es Sión, a quien nadie busca”.
18 Thus says the Lord: “Behold, I will turn back the turning away of the tabernacles of Jacob, and I will take pity on his roofs. And the city will be built up in her heights, and the temple will be founded according to its order.
Yahvé dice: “He aquí que voy a revertir el cautiverio de las tiendas de Jacob, y ten compasión de sus moradas. La ciudad se construirá en su propia colina, y el palacio será habitado en su propio lugar.
19 And praise will go forth from them, with the voice of those who play. And I will multiply them, and they will not be lessened. And I will glorify them, and they will not be weakened.
La acción de gracias saldrá de ellos con la voz de los que se alegran. Los multiplicaré, y no serán pocos; También los glorificaré, y no serán pequeños.
20 And their sons will be as in the beginning. And their assembly will remain in my sight. And I will visit against all those who trouble them.
Sus hijos también serán como antes, y su congregación se establecerá ante mí. Castigaré a todos los que los opriman.
21 And their ruler will be one of their own. And their prince will be led forward from their midst. And I will draw him near, and he will cling to me. For who is the one who applies his heart, so that he may draw near to me, says the Lord?
Su príncipe será uno de ellos, y su gobernante saldrá de entre ellos. Haré que se acerque, y se acercará a mí; porque ¿quién es el que ha tenido la osadía de acercarse a mí?”, dice Yahvé.
22 And you shall be my people, and I will be your God.”
“Vosotros seréis mi pueblo, y yo seré tu Dios.
23 Behold the whirlwind of the Lord, his fury going forth, a destroying storm! It will rest upon the head of the impious.
He aquí que la tormenta de Yahvé, su ira, ha salido, una tormenta arrolladora; estallará en la cabeza de los malvados.
24 The Lord will not turn back the wrath of his indignation, until he has accomplished and completed the plan of his heart. In the last days, you shall understand these things.
La feroz ira de Yahvé no volverá hasta que haya cumplido, y hasta que haya realizado las intenciones de su corazón. En los últimos días lo entenderás”.
