Jeremiah 30
1 The word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying,
Palabra de Yavé que vino a Jeremías:
2 Thus speaks the LORD God of Israel, saying, Write you all the words that I have spoken to you in a book.
Yavé ʼElohim de Israel dice: Escribe en un rollo todas las Palabras que te hablé.
3 For, see, the days come, says the LORD, that I will bring again the captivity of my people Israel and Judah, said the LORD: and I will cause them to return to the land that I gave to their fathers, and they shall possess it.
Porque ciertamente vienen días, dice Yavé, en los cuales devolveré de la cautividad a mi pueblo Israel y Judá. Los devolveré a la tierra que di a sus antepasados, y tomarán posesión de ella.
4 And these are the words that the LORD spoke concerning Israel and concerning Judah.
Éstas son las Palabras que Yavé habló con respecto a Israel y Judá:
5 For thus says the LORD; We have heard a voice of trembling, of fear, and not of peace.
Porque Yavé dice: Oí un ruido de terror y espanto y no de paz.
6 Ask you now, and see whether a man does travail with child? why do I see every man with his hands on his loins, as a woman in travail, and all faces are turned into paleness?
Pregunten y averigüen: ¿Da a luz el varón? ¿Por qué veo a todo varón como parturienta con las manos en las caderas y todas las caras palidecieron?
7 Alas! for that day is great, so that none is like it: it is even the time of Jacob’s trouble, but he shall be saved out of it.
¡Ay, cuán grande es aquel día! No hay otro semejante a él. Tiempo de angustia para Jacob. Pero de ella será librado.
8 For it shall come to pass in that day, says the LORD of hosts, that I will break his yoke from off your neck, and will burst your bonds, and strangers shall no more serve themselves of him:
Aquel día, dice Yavé de las huestes, Yo quebraré el yugo de su nuca y romperé sus correas. Los extranjeros no volverán a someterlo a esclavitud,
9 But they shall serve the LORD their God, and David their king, whom I will raise up to them.
sino servirán a Yavé su ʼElohim y a David su rey, a quien Yo levantaré para ellos.
10 Therefore fear you not, O my servant Jacob, says the LORD; neither be dismayed, O Israel: for, see, I will save you from afar, and your seed from the land of their captivity; and Jacob shall return, and shall be in rest, and be quiet, and none shall make him afraid.
Tú pues, esclavo mío Jacob, no temas, dice Yavé, ni te atemorices, Israel. Porque ciertamente Yo te salvo del país remoto, a ti y a tu descendencia, de la tierra de cautividad. Jacob regresará, descansará y vivirá tranquilo, y no habrá quien lo espante.
11 For I am with you, says the LORD, to save you: though I make a full end of all nations where I have scattered you, yet I will not make a full end of you: but I will correct you in measure, and will not leave you altogether unpunished.
Porque Yo estoy contigo para salvarte, dice Yavé. Destruiré a todas las naciones en las cuales te dispersé, pero a ti no te destruiré. Te corregiré con justicia. De ninguna manera te dejaré impune.
12 For thus says the LORD, Your bruise is incurable, and your wound is grievous.
Porque Yavé dice: Tu quebranto es incurable, y tu herida dolorosa.
13 There is none to plead your cause, that you may be bound up: you have no healing medicines.
No hay quien defienda tu causa para vendar tu herida. No hay remedios eficaces.
14 All your lovers have forgotten you; they seek you not; for I have wounded you with the wound of an enemy, with the chastisement of a cruel one, for the multitude of your iniquity; because your sins were increased.
Todos tus amantes te olvidaron. Ya no te buscan, porque te herí como a un enemigo con castigo de hombre cruel, a causa de tus numerosas maldades y tus numerosos pecados.
15 Why cry you for your affliction? your sorrow is incurable for the multitude of your iniquity: because your sins were increased, I have done these things to you.
¿Por qué clamas a causa de tu quebranto? Incurable es tu dolor. Porque por lo enorme de tu iniquidad y por tus muchos pecados te apliqué esto.
16 Therefore all they that devour you shall be devoured; and all your adversaries, every one of them, shall go into captivity; and they that spoil you shall be a spoil, and all that prey on you will I give for a prey.
Pero todos los que te devoran serán devorados. Todos tus adversarios, cada uno de ellos, irán al cautiverio. Todos los que te despojan serán despojados y todos los que te saquean serán saqueados.
17 For I will restore health to you, and I will heal you of your wounds, says the LORD; because they called you an Outcast, saying, This is Zion, whom no man seeks after.
Porque Yo te restauraré la salud y sanaré tus heridas, dice Yavé, porque te llamaron la repudiada y dijeron: Ésta es Sion. Nadie la cuida.
18 Thus says the LORD; Behold, I will bring again the captivity of Jacob’s tents, and have mercy on his dwelling places; and the city shall be built on her own heap, and the palace shall remain after the manner thereof.
Yavé dice: En verdad, Yo restauro de la cautividad las tiendas de Jacob. De sus tiendas tendré misericordia. La ciudad será edificada sobre su colina, y el palacio estará en el lugar que le corresponde.
19 And out of them shall proceed thanksgiving and the voice of them that make merry: and I will multiply them, and they shall not be few; I will also glorify them, and they shall not be small.
De ellos saldrán acciones de gracias y la voz de los que se regocijan. Los multiplicaré y no los disminuiré. No serán despreciados.
20 Their children also shall be as aforetime, and their congregation shall be established before me, and I will punish all that oppress them.
Sus hijos serán como antes. Su congregación se mantendrá delante de mi Presencia. Castigaré a todos sus opresores.
21 And their nobles shall be of themselves, and their governor shall proceed from the middle of them; and I will cause him to draw near, and he shall approach to me: for who is this that engaged his heart to approach to me? says the LORD.
De ella saldrá su soberano, su caudillo. Yo lo acercaré a Mí y él se acercará a Mí. ¿Porque quién se atrevería, dice Yavé, a arriesgar su vida para acercarse a Mí?
22 And you shall be my people, and I will be your God.
Y me serán pueblo y Yo seré su ʼElohim.
23 Behold, the whirlwind of the LORD goes forth with fury, a continuing whirlwind: it shall fall with pain on the head of the wicked.
Miren: La tempestad de Yavé sale con furor, tempestad arrebatadora que cae en la cabeza de los perversos.
24 The fierce anger of the LORD shall not return, until he has done it, and until he have performed the intents of his heart: in the latter days you shall consider it.
No se calmará el ardor de la ira de Yavé hasta que ejecute y cumpla los propósitos de su corazón. Al final de los días entenderán esto.
