Jeremiah 30
1 The word that came to Jeremiah from YHWH, saying,
Fue dirigida a Jeremías la palabra de Yahvé, que decía:
2 "Thus speaks YHWH, the God of Israel, saying, 'Write all the words that I have spoken to you in a scroll.
“Así habla Yahvé, el Dios de Israel: Escribe en un libro todas las palabras que te he dicho.
3 For, look, the days come, says YHWH, that I will turn again the captivity of my people Israel and Judah,' says YHWH; 'and I will cause them to return to the land that I gave to their fathers, and they shall possess it.'"
Porque he aquí que vendrán días, dice Yahvé, en que trocaré el cautiverio de mi pueblo, Israel y Judá, dice Yahvé, y los haré regresar al país que di a sus padres y lo poseerán.”
4 These are the words that YHWH spoke concerning Israel and concerning Judah.
Y estas son las palabras que Yahvé dirige a Israel y a Judá:
5 For thus says YHWH: "We have heard a voice of trembling, of fear, and not of peace.
“Así dice Yahvé: Hemos oído voces de terror, de espanto, y no de paz.
6 Ask now, and see whether a man does travail with child: why do I see every man with his hands on his waist, as a woman in travail, and all faces are turned into paleness?
Preguntad y ved si dan a luz los varones. ¿Cómo es que veo a todos los varones con las manos sobre sus lomos, como parturientas? ¿Y por qué se han vuelto pálidos todos los rostros?
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! porque grande es aquel día, no hay otro que le sea igual. Es el tiempo de angustia para Jacob; mas será librado de ella.
8 It shall come to pass in that day," says YHWH of hosts, "that I will break his yoke from off your neck, and will burst your bonds; and strangers shall no more make him their bondservant;
En aquel día, dice Yahvé de los ejércitos, quebraré el yugo del (enemigo) sobre tu cerviz, y romperé tus coyundas. No lo sojuzgarán más los extranjeros,
9 but they shall serve YHWH their God, and David their king, whom I will raise up to them.
pues servirá a Yahvé su Dios, y a David su rey, que Yo les suscitaré.
10 Therefore do not be afraid, O Jacob my servant, says YHWH; neither be dismayed, Israel: for, look, I will save you from afar, and your descendants from the land of their captivity; and Jacob shall return, and shall be quiet and at ease, and none shall make him afraid.
Y tú, siervo mío Jacob, no temas, dice Yahvé, ni te amedrentes, oh Israel, que Yo te sacaré de una tierra lejana, y a tus hijos del país de su cautiverio. Jacob volverá, y vivirá quieto y tranquilo, sin que nadie lo espante.
11 For I am with you, says YHWH, to save you: for I will make a full end of all the nations where I have scattered you, but I will not make a full end of you; but I will correct you in measure, and will in no way leave you unpunished."
Porque Yo estoy contigo, dice Yahvé, para librarte; acabaré con todas las naciones donde te he dispersado. A ti, empero no te exterminaré, aunque te castigaré con equidad y no te dejaré del todo impune.
12 For thus says YHWH, "Your hurt is incurable, and your wound grievous.
Porque así dice Yahvé: Tu llaga es incurable, y sin remedio tu herida.
13 There is none to plead your cause, that you may be bound up: you have no healing medicines.
No hay quien tome tu causa para (vendar) tu herida; no hay medicamentos para curarte.
14 All your lovers have forgotten you; they do not seek you: for I have wounded you with the wound of an enemy, with the chastisement of a cruel one, for the greatness of your iniquity, because your sins were increased.
Todos tus amantes te han olvidado, no preguntan ya por ti, porque yo te he herido como hiere un enemigo, con pena cruel, en castigo de tus muchas iniquidades, pues son graves tus pecados.
15 Why do you cry for your hurt? Your pain is incurable: for the greatness of your iniquity, because your sins were increased, I have done these things to you.
¿Por qué gritas a causa de tu quebranto? Es incurable tu mal; por la muchedumbre de tus iniquidades, y por la gravedad de tus pecados, te he hecho esto.
16 Therefore all those who devour you shall be devoured; and all your adversaries, everyone of them, shall go into captivity; and those who plunder you shall be plundered, and all who prey on you I will make a prey.
Mas cuantos te devoran serán devorados, y todos tus opresores serán llevados cautivos; 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 YHWH; "because they have called you an outcast, saying, 'It is Zion, whom no man seeks after.'"
Pues yo cicatrizaré tu llaga y curaré tus heridas, dice Yahvé; porque te han llamado la «Desechada»; «esta es aquella Sión, por la cual nadie ya pregunta».
18 Thus says YHWH: "Look, I will turn again the captivity of Jacob's tents, and have compassion on his dwelling places; and the city shall be built on its own hill, and the palace shall be inhabited in its own way.
Así dice Yahvé: He aquí que restableceré los tabernáculos de Jacob, y tendré compasión de sus moradas; la ciudad será reedificada sobre su monte, y el palacio se levantará en su lugar antiguo.
19 Out of them shall proceed thanksgiving and the voice of those who 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 allí saldrán alabanzas y voces de júbilo, los multiplicaré para que no sean pocos, y los honraré para que no sean despreciados.
20 Their children also shall be as before, and their congregation shall be established before me; and I will punish all who oppress them.
Serán sus hijos como al principio, su congregación tendrá estabilidad ante Mí; y castigaré a todos sus opresores.
21 Their prince shall be of themselves, and their ruler shall proceed from their midst; and I will cause him to draw near, and he shall approach to me: for who is he who has had boldness to approach to me? says YHWH.
De ella procederá su príncipe, y de en medio de ella saldrá su dominador; Yo le haré venir, y él se acercará a Mí; pues ¿quién es el que osaría acercarse a Mí?, dice Yahvé.
22 You shall be my people, and I will be your God.
Y vosotros seréis mi pueblo, y Yo seré vuestro Dios.
23 Look, the storm of YHWH, his wrath, has gone forth, a sweeping storm: it shall burst on the head of the wicked.
He aquí que se desata el torbellino de Yahvé, torbellino furioso que se precipita y descarga sobre la cabeza de los impíos.
24 The fierce anger of YHWH will not return, until he has executed, and until he has performed the intentions of his heart. In the latter days you will understand it.
No cesará el ardor de la ira de Yahvé hasta realizar y cumplir los designios de su corazón. Al fin de los tiempos entenderéis esto.
