Jeremiah 30
1 The word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord, saying,
Palabra de Yavé que vino a Jeremías:
2 Thus hath said the Lord the God of Israel, saying, Write thee all the words that I have spoken unto thee in a book.
Yavé ʼElohim de Israel dice: Escribe en un rollo todas las Palabras que te hablé.
3 For, behold, days are coming, saith the Lord, when I will bring back again the captivity of my people Israel and Judah, saith the Lord; and I will cause them to return to the land that I have given 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 hath said the Lord, A voice of terror have we heard, dread, and no peace.
Porque Yavé dice: Oí un ruido de terror y espanto y no de paz.
6 Ask ye now, and see whether a male doth give birth to a child? wherefore do I see every man with his hands on his loins, as a woman in giving birth? and why are all faces turned pale?
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, there is none like it; and a time of distress it is unto Jacob; yet out of it shall he be saved.
¡Ay, cuán grande es aquel día! No hay otro semejante a él. Tiempo de angustia para Jacob. Pero de ella será librado.
8 And it shall come to pass on that day, saith the Lord of hosts, that I will break his yoke from off thy neck, and thy bands will I burst asunder; and strangers shall not make him serve any more;
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 unto them.
sino servirán a Yavé su ʼElohim y a David su rey, a quien Yo levantaré para ellos.
10 And thou—do not fear, O my servant Jacob, saith the Lord; and be not dismayed, O Israel; for, behold, I will save thee from afar, and thy seed from the land of their captivity: and Jacob shall return, and shall be at rest, and be secure, with none to terrify him.
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 with thee am I, saith the Lord, to save thee: though I make a full end of all the nations whither I have scattered thee, yet of thee will I not make a full end; but I will correct thee in moderation, and will not leave thee 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 hath said the Lord, Incurable is thy bruise, and painful, thy wound.
Porque Yavé dice: Tu quebranto es incurable, y tu herida dolorosa.
13 There is no one to plead thy cause, to bind up [thy wound]: useful remedies there are none for thee.
No hay quien defienda tu causa para vendar tu herida. No hay remedios eficaces.
14 All thy lovers have forgotten thee; thee they seek not; for with the blow of an enemy have I smitten thee, with cruel chastisement, for the multitude of thy iniquity, because thy sins were so numerous.
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 wilt thou cry out because of thy breach? for thy pain which is incurable? because of the multitude of thy iniquity, because thy sins were so numerous, have I done these things unto thee.
¿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 Nevertheless all they that devour thee shall be devoured; and all thy adversaries, all of them, shall go into captivity; and they that plunder thee shall be [given up] to plunder, and all that prey upon thee will I give up 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 place a healing plaster on thy bruise, and of thy wounds will I cure thee, saith the Lord; because they called thee “an Outcast.” “This is Zion, whom no one seeketh 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 hath said the Lord, Behold, I will bring back again the captivity of the tents of Jacob, and on his dwelling-places will I have mercy; and the city shall be rebuilt upon her own heap of ruins, and the palace shall be inhabited after its [ancient] manner.
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 there shall proceed out of them thanksgiving, and the voice of those that make merry: and I will multiply them, and they shall not be diminished; I will also make them numerous, and they shall not be made few in number.
De ellos saldrán acciones de gracias y la voz de los que se regocijan. Los multiplicaré y no los disminuiré. No serán despreciados.
20 And their children shall be as aforetimes, and their congregation shall be firmly 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 leader shall be of themselves, and their ruler shall proceed from the midst of them; and I will cause him to draw near, and he shall approach unto me; for who is this that will venture of his own heart to approach unto me? saith 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 ye shall be unto me for a people, and I will be unto you for a God.
Y me serán pueblo y Yo seré su ʼElohim.
23 Behold, the storm-wind of the Lord goeth forth with fury, an abiding storm-wind: upon the head of the wicked shall it fall.
Miren: La tempestad de Yavé sale con furor, tempestad arrebatadora que cae en la cabeza de los perversos.
24 The fierceness of the anger of the Lord will not turn back, until he have done, and until he have fulfilled the purposes of his heart: in the latter days shall ye understand this.
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.
