Jeremiah 37
1 And he reigned king Zedekiah [the] son of Josiah in place of Coniah [the] son of Jehoiakim whom he made king Nebuchadnezzar [the] king of Babylon in [the] land of Judah.
En lugar de Jeconías, hijo de Joakim, subió al trono Sedecías, al cual Nabucodonosor, rey de Babilonia, había constituido rey en la tierra de Judá.
2 And not he listened he and servants his and [the] people of the land to [the] words of Yahweh which he spoke by [the] hand of Jeremiah the prophet.
Mas ni él, ni sus servidores, ni el pueblo del país escucharon las palabras que Yahvé había pronunciado por boca del profeta Jeremías.
3 And he sent the king Zedekiah Jehucal [the] son of Shelemiah and Zephaniah [the] son of Maaseiah the priest to Jeremiah the prophet saying pray please for us to Yahweh God our.
Y envió el rey Sedecías a Jucal, hijo de Selemías, y a Sofonías, hijo de Maasías, sacerdote, a decir al profeta Jeremías: “Ruega por nosotros a Yahvé, nuestro Dios.”
4 And Jeremiah [was] coming and [was] going out in among the people and not they had put him [the] house of (imprisonment. *Q(K)*)
Jeremías andaba todavía libremente entre el pueblo, pues aún no le habían encarcelado.
5 And [the] army of Pharaoh it had come forth from Egypt and they had heard the Chaldeans who were laying siege on Jerusalem report their and they had taken themselves up from on Jerusalem.
Entretanto, había salido de Egipto el ejército del Faraón; y los caldeos que sitiaban a Jerusalén, al oír esto, se habían retirado de Jerusalén.
6 And it came [the] word of Yahweh to Jeremiah the prophet saying.
Entonces llegó al profeta Jeremías esta palabra de Yahvé:
7 Thus he says Yahweh [the] God of Israel thus you will say to [the] king of Judah who sent you to me to consult me there! - [the] army of Pharaoh which was coming out to you to help [is] about to return to own land its Egypt.
“Así dice Yahvé, el Dios de Israel: Esto diréis al rey de Judá que os envió a Mí para consultarme: He aquí que el ejército del Faraón, que ha salido para socorreros, volverá a su país, a Egipto.
8 And they will return the Chaldeans and they will fight on the city this and they will capture it and they will burn it with fire.
Y vendrán de nuevo los caldeos y combatirán a esta ciudad, la tomarán y le pegarán fuego.
9 Thus - he says Yahweh may not you deceive selves your saying certainly they will go from on us the Chaldeans for not they will go.
Así dice Yahvé: No os hagáis ilusiones, diciendo: «Los caldeos se retirarán definitivamente de nosotros»; porque no se retirarán.
10 That except you struck down all [the] army of [the] Chaldeans who are fighting with you and they survived among them men pierced through everyone in tent his they will arise and they will burn the city this with fire.
Pues aun cuando derrotaseis todo el ejército de los caldeos que lucha contra vosotros, y no quedasen entre ellos sino algunos heridos, esos se levantarían cada uno en su tienda y prenderían fuego a esta ciudad.
11 And it was when had taken itself up [the] army of the Chaldeans from on Jerusalem because of [the] army of Pharaoh.
Cuando se retiró el ejército de los caldeos de Jerusalén, a causa del ejército del Faraón,
12 And he went out Jeremiah from Jerusalem to go [the] land of Benjamin to receive a portion from there in among the people.
salió Jeremías de Jerusalén para ir a tierra de Benjamín, a retirar de allí una herencia que tenía en medio de su pueblo.
13 And it was he [was] at [the] gate of Benjamin and [was] there a captain of [the] guard and name his [was] Irijah [the] son of Shelemiah [the] son of Hananiah and he arrested Jeremiah the prophet saying to the Chaldeans you [are] falling.
Pero cuando llegó a la puerta de Benjamín, allí el capitán de la guardia, que se llamaba Jerías, hijo de Selemías, hijo de Hananías, lo detuvo, diciendo: “Tú intentas pasarte a los caldeos.”
14 And he said Jeremiah a lie not I [am] falling on the Chaldeans and not he listened to him and he seized Irijah Jeremiah and he brought him to the officials.
“Es falso, respondió Jeremías; no intento pasarme a los caldeos.” Mas Jerías no le escuchó, sino que prendió a Jeremías y le condujo a los jefes,
15 And they were angry the officials towards Jeremiah and they struck him and they put him [the] house of fetter[s] [the] house of Jonathan the scribe for it they had made into [the] house of imprisonment.
los cuales, irritados contra Jeremías, le hicieron azotar y le metieron en la cárcel, en la casa de Jonatán, secretario; pues allí habían instalado una cárcel.
16 For he went Jeremiah into [the] house of the cistern and into the cell and he remained there Jeremiah days many.
Entró Jeremías en la casa de la mazmorra y en las bóvedas, y cuando había permanecido allí mucho tiempo,
17 And he sent the king Zedekiah and he took him and he asked him the king in house his in secrecy and he said ¿ [is] there a word from with Yahweh and he said Jeremiah there is and he said in [the] hand of [the] king of Babylon you will be given.
envió el rey Sedecías a sacarle; y le preguntó el rey secretamente en su casa, diciendo: “¿Hay alguna palabra de parte de Yahvé?” “Sí, la hay”, respondió Jeremías. “Tú serás entregado en poder del rey de Babilonia.”
18 And he said Jeremiah to the king Zedekiah what? have I sinned to you and to servants your and to the people this that you have put me into [the] house of imprisonment.
Y dijo Jeremías al rey Sedecías: “¿En qué he pecado contra ti, contra tus servidores y contra este pueblo, para que me hayáis metido en la cárcel?
19 (And where? *Q(K)*) [are] prophets your who they prophesied to you saying not he will come [the] king of Babylon on you and on the land this.
¿Y dónde están vuestros profetas que os profetizaban, diciendo: «El rey de Babilonia no vendrá contra vosotros, ni contra este país»?
20 And therefore listen please O lord my the king may it fall please supplication my before you and may not you make go back me [the] house of Jonathan the scribe and not I will die there.
Óyeme ahora, oh rey, señor mío; y acoge propicio mi súplica. No me vuelvas a la casa de Jonatán, secretario; sería mi muerte.”
21 And he commanded the king Zedekiah and they deposited Jeremiah in [the] courtyard of the guard and they gave to him a round loaf of bread to the day from [the] street of the bakers until was finished all the bread from the city and he remained Jeremiah in [the] courtyard of the guard.
Entonces mandó el rey Sedecías que guardasen a Jeremías en el patio de la cárcel, y que se le diese cada día un pan, de la calle de los panaderos, mientras hubiese pan en la ciudad. Así quedó Jeremías en el patio de la cárcel.
