Jeremiah 33
1 And the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah a second time, while he was still confined to the atrium of the prison, saying:
La Palabra de Yavé vino por segunda vez a Jeremías, cuando él aún estaba preso en el patio de la guardia:
2 “Thus says the Lord, who will prepare, and form, and accomplish it; the Lord is his name.
Yavé, Quien hizo la tierra, Yavé, Quien la formó para afirmarla; Yavé es su nombre, dice:
3 Cry out to me and I will heed you. And I will announce to you great things, things that are certain, though you do not know them.
Clama a Mí y Yo te responderé y te enseñaré cosas grandes y ocultas que tú no sabes.
4 For thus says the Lord, the God of Israel, to the houses of this city, and to the houses of the king of Judah, which have been destroyed, and to the fortifications, and to the sword
Porque Yavé ʼElohim de Israel dice esto con respecto a las casas de esta ciudad y las de los reyes de Judá, las cuales fueron derribadas para construir defensas contra las torres de asedio y la espada:
5 of those who have arrived, so that they may fight with the Chaldeans, and so that they may have their fill of the dead bodies of the men whom I have struck down in my fury and in my indignation, concealing my face from this city, because of all their wickedness:
Porque los caldeos vienen a combatir contra ella. La llenarán de cadáveres humanos, a quienes maté con mi furor y mi ira, porque oculté mi rostro de esta ciudad a causa de toda su perversidad.
6 Behold, I will lead over them scars and health, and I will cure them. And I will reveal to them an invocation of peace and truth.
Ciertamente Yo traeré medicina y sanidad. Los sanaré y les revelaré una abundancia de paz y verdad.
7 And I will convert the turning away of Judah and the turning away of Jerusalem. And I will build them up, just as from the beginning.
Regresaré a los cautivos de Judá y de Israel. Los restableceré como al principio.
8 And I will cleanse them from all their iniquity, by which they have sinned against me. And I will forgive all their iniquities, by which they have offended against me and have despised me.
Los limpiaré de toda su iniquidad con la cual pecaron contra Mí. Perdonaré todas sus iniquidades con las cuales pecaron y transgredieron contra mí.
9 And this will be for me: a name, and a joy, and a praise, and an exultation, among all the nations of the earth who will hear about all the good things that I will accomplish for them. And they will be afraid and troubled over all these good things, and over all the peace, that I will accomplish for them.
[La ciudad] será para Mí un nombre de regocijo, alabanza y gloria entre todas las naciones de la tierra, las cuales oirán de todo el bien que Yo le proveo. Temerán y temblarán a causa de todo el bien y toda la paz que les concederé.
10 Thus says the Lord: Still shall there be heard in this place, (which you say is desolate, because there is neither man nor beast, ) and in the cities of Judah and outside of Jerusalem, (which are desolate, without man, and without an inhabitant and without cattle, )
Yavé dice: En este lugar del cual ustedes dicen que está desolado, sin hombres ni animales, en las ciudades de Judá y en las calles de Jerusalén que están desoladas, sin habitante ni animal,
11 the voice of gladness and the voice of rejoicing, the voice of the groom and the voice of the bride, the voice of those who will say: ‘Confess to the Lord of hosts! For the Lord is good! For his mercy is eternal!’ and the voice of those fulfilling their vows in the house of the Lord. For I will lead back the turning away of the land, just as from the beginning, says the Lord.”
se oirá aún voz de regocijo y alegría, voz de comprometido y comprometida, voz de los que digan: Alaben a Yavé de las huestes, porque Yavé es bueno, porque para siempre es su misericordia. Voz de los que traigan ofrendas de acción de gracias a la Casa de Yavé. Porque traeré a los cautivos de la tierra como al principio, dice Yavé.
12 Thus says the Lord of hosts: “Still shall there be in this place, (which is desolate without man and without beast, ) and in all of its cities: a habitation for the shepherds giving rest to their flocks.
Yavé de las huestes dice: En este lugar que está desolado, sin hombres ni animales, y en todas sus ciudades, aún habrá prados donde los pastores recuesten sus rebaños.
13 For even in the cities on the mountains, and in the cities on the plains, and in the cities that are toward the south, and in the land of Benjamin, and all around Jerusalem, and in the cities of Judah, still shall the flocks travel by the hand of him who numbers them, says the Lord.
Otra vez pasarán rebaños bajo la mano del que los cuente en las ciudades de la tierra montañosa, de la Sefela, del Neguev, de Benjamín, los alrededores de Jerusalén y las ciudades de Judá, dice Yavé.
14 Behold, the days are approaching, says the Lord, when I will fulfill the good word that I have spoken to the house of Israel and to the house of Judah.
Ciertamente vienen días, dice Yavé, en los cuales Yo confirmaré la buena Palabra que hablé a la Casa de Israel y a la Casa de Judá.
15 In those days and at that time, I will cause the seedling of justice to spring up from David, and he will accomplish judgment and justice upon the earth.
En aquellos días y en ese tiempo haré que brote para David un Retoño de Justicia, el cual practicará juicio recto y justicia en la tierra.
16 In those days, Judah will be saved, and Jerusalem will live in confidence. And this is the name that they will call him: ‘The Lord, our Just One.’
En aquellos días Judá será salvado, y Jerusalén estará segura. Será llamada: Yavé, Justicia Nuestra.
17 For thus says the Lord: There shall not cease to be a man from David sitting upon the throne of the house of Israel.
Porque Yavé dice: No faltará a David un varón que se siente en el trono de la Casa de Israel.
18 And there shall not cease to be a man from the priests and from the Levites before my face, who offers holocausts, and burns sacrifices, and kills victims, for days without end.”
Ni a los sacerdotes y levitas faltará varón que ofrezca ofrenda quemada, ofrenda encendida y sacrificio delante de Mí, todos los días.
19 And the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah, saying:
Vino la Palabra de Yavé a Jeremías:
20 “Thus says the Lord: If my covenant with the day is able to be nullified, or my covenant with the night, such that there would be no day and no night in their time,
Yavé dice: Si pueden anular mi Pacto con el día y la noche, de manera que no haya día ni noche a su tiempo,
21 then, too, my covenant with David, my servant, may be nullified, such that he would not have a son who reigns upon his throne, with both the Levites and the priests as my ministers.
entonces también podrá ser invalidado mi Pacto con mi esclavo David, para que deje de tener un hijo que se siente en su trono, y mi Pacto con los levitas y sacerdotes, mis ministros.
22 Just as the stars of heaven are not able to be numbered, and the sand of the sea is not able to be measured, so will I multiply the offspring of David, my servant, and the Levites, my ministers.”
Como no puede ser contada la hueste del cielo, ni se puede medir la arena del mar, del mismo modo [no podrás contar] la descendencia de mi esclavo David y la de los levitas que me sirven.
23 And the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah, saying:
Otra vez vino la Palabra de Yavé a Jeremías:
24 “Have you not seen what this people has spoken? They say: ‘The two families which the Lord had chosen have been rejected.’ And so they have despised my people, as if they were no longer a nation in their sight.
¿No oyes lo que dice este pueblo? Las dos familias que Yavé escogió las desechó. Así desprecian a mi pueblo hasta el punto de no considerarlo como nación.
25 Thus says the Lord: If I have not established my covenant with the day and the night, and my laws over heaven and earth,
Yavé dice: Si no es cierto mi Pacto con el día y la noche, ni mis designios para el cielo y la tierra,
26 then truly I will also cast aside the offspring of Jacob, and of David, my servant, so that I do not take up any of his offspring to be leaders over the offspring of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. For I will lead back their turning away, and I will take pity on them.”
entonces desecharé el linaje de Jacob y de mi esclavo David para tomar de su descendencia quien gobierne sobre el linaje de Abraham, de Isaac y de Jacob. Porque los regresaré de su cautividad y tendré misericordia de ellos.
