Jeremiah 20
1 Pashhur, the son of Immer, was a priest who supervised the temple guards. He heard those things that I had prophesied.
Llegó a oídos de Pasur, el hijo del sacerdote Imer, jefe de autoridad en la casa del Señor, que Jeremías estaba diciendo estas cosas;
2 [So he arrested me]. Then he [commanded guards to] whip me and fasten my feet in (stocks/a wooden frame) at the Benjamin Gate of Yahweh’s temple.
Y Pasur le hizo azotar a Jeremías y le encadenaron los pies en un marco de madera en la entrada superior de Benjamín, que estaba en la casa del Señor.
3 The next day, when Pashhur released me, I said to him, “Pashhur, Yahweh is giving you a new name. From now on, your name will be ‘Surrounded by Terror’,
Y al día siguiente, Pasur soltó a Jeremías. Entonces Jeremías le dijo: El Señor te ha dado el nombre de Magor-misabib (Causa del miedo en todas partes), no Pasur.
4 because Yahweh says this [to you]: ‘I will cause you and your friends to be terrified. You will watch them being killed by your enemies’ swords. I will enable the [army of the] king of Babylon to capture the people of Judah. Those soldiers will take some of the people to Babylon, and they will kill others with their swords.
Porque el Señor ha dicho: Mira, te haré una causa de temor para ti y para todos tus amigos: ellos morirán por la espada de sus enemigos, y tus ojos lo verán; y entregaré a todo Judá en manos del rey de Babilonia, y él los llevará a los prisioneros a Babilonia y los pondrá a la espada.
5 And I will enable their soldiers to take away [other things in] Jerusalem. They will take to Babylon all the very valuable things that belonged to your kings.
Y más que esto, daré toda la riqueza de esta ciudad y todos sus beneficios y todas sus cosas de valor, incluso todas las tiendas de los reyes de Judá entregaré en manos de sus enemigos, quienes los tomarán y llevarán a Babilonia.
6 And [as for] you, Pashhur, they will take you and all your family to Babylon. You and your family and all your friends who have prophesied things that are lies will die there and be buried there.’”
Y tú, Pasur, y todos los que están en tu casa, se irán prisioneros; vendrás a Babilonia y allí morirás y serás enterrado, tú y todos tus amigos, a quienes has profetizado palabras falsas.
7 [One day I said this to Yahweh]: “Yahweh, [when you chose me to be a prophet, ] deceived me, and I allowed you to deceive me. You insisted that I [become a prophet] and you are stronger than I am. And now everyone [HYP] ridicules me. They make fun of me all the day.
Señor, tú me has persuadido, y me deje persuadir; eres más fuerte que yo, y me has superado; me he vuelto objeto de risa todo el día, todos me hacen burla.
8 When I tell [people your messages], I shout saying, ‘[Yahweh is going to cause you to experience] violence and destruction!’ So because I tell them those messages from you, they insult me and scoff at me all day long.
Porque cada palabra que digo; Digo con voz fuerte: violencia y destrucción; porque la palabra del Señor ha venido a ser una afrenta para mí y una causa de burla todo el día.
9 But if I would say, ‘I will never mention Yahweh or say anything about him, [MTY]’ [it would be as though] your message would burn in my inner being like [SIM] a fire; it would be like a fire in my bones. Sometimes I try to remain silent and not proclaim your messages, but I am not able to do that.
Y si digo, no lo tendré en cuenta, no diré otra palabra en su nombre; entonces está en mi corazón como un fuego ardiente encerrado en mis huesos, trato de contenerla dentro, y no puedo hacerlo.
10 I hear many people whispering [about me], saying ‘[He is the man who proclaims that there will be things that cause us to] be terrified everywhere. We must tell [the authorities what he is saying]! We must denounce him!’ [Even] my best friends are waiting for me to say something that is wrong. [They are saying], ‘Perhaps we can cause him to say something wrong, and if he does, we will be able to discredit him.’
Porque muchos de ellos dicen mal en secreto a mis oídos (hay temor por todos lados): dicen: Vengan, vamos acusarlo; todos mis amigos más cercanos, que están a la espera de mi caída, dicen: Puede ser que lo engañen, y lo sacaremos de encima y le daremos un castigo.
11 But [you], Yahweh, are helping me like [SIM] a strong warrior, so [it is as though] you will cause those who persecute me to stumble, and they will not defeat me. They will be completely disgraced because of being unable to defeat me; and other people will never forget that they were disgraced.
Pero el Señor está conmigo como un guerrero invencible, para ser temido grandemente; así mis atacantes caerán, y no me vencerán; serán avergonzados grandemente, pues no han triunfado, con afrenta perpetua porque nunca será olvidada.
12 Commander of the armies of angels, you examine [all] those who are righteous; you know [all that is in] their inner beings and what they think. Allow me to see you getting revenge on those [who want to harm me], because I trust that you will do for me what is right.”
Pero, oh Señor de los ejércitos, probando a los rectos y viendo los pensamientos y el corazón, déjame ver que tu castigo venga sobre ellos; porque yo he puesto mi causa delante de ti.
13 Sing to Yahweh! Praise Yahweh! He rescues [poor and] needy people, from those [SYN] who are wicked.
Haz melodía al Señor, alaba al Señor, porque ha liberado el alma del pobre de las manos de los malvados.
14 But I hope/desire that the day that I was born will be cursed. I do not want [anyone to] celebrate that day.
Una maldición el día de mi nacimiento; que no haya bendiciones el día en que mi madre me tuvo.
15 And [as for] that man who brought to my father the news, and caused him to be very happy, by saying “[You wife] has given birth to a son for you”, I hope/desire that he [also] will be cursed.
Una maldición sobre el hombre que le dio la noticia a mi padre, diciendo: Tú tienes un hijo varón; haciéndolo muy alegre.
16 Allow him to be destroyed like the cities that Yahweh destroyed [long ago], without acting mercifully [toward them]. Cause that man to hear the people wailing in the morning, and [to hear the enemy soldiers shout their] battle cries at noon.
Que ese hombre sea como las ciudades derrocadas por el Señor sin piedad; que a la mañana llegue a sus oídos un clamor de auxilio, y alaridos al medio del día;
17 [I want that to happen to him] because he did not kill me before I was born. I wish that I had died in my mother’s womb, and that my mother’s body would have been [like] [MET] my grave.
Porque no me mató antes de que naciera, así, el cuerpo de mi madre habría sido mi tumba y ella habría estado embarazada para siempre.
18 I have continually experienced much trouble and sorrow, and I am disgraced now when I am about to die; why was it necessary [RHQ] for me to me born?
¿Por qué salí del cuerpo de mi madre para ver aflicción y problemas, para que mis días se desperdicien en vergüenza?
