Jeremiah 30
1 Yahweh gave me another message. He said,
Fue dirigida a Jeremías la palabra de Yahvé, que decía:
2 “[I], Yahweh, the God whom the Israeli people [say they belong to], am telling you that you should write down everything that I have said to you.
“Así habla Yahvé, el Dios de Israel: Escribe en un libro todas las palabras que te he dicho.
3 [I want you to know that] some day I will free my people, [the people of] Israel and Judah, from being slaves [in Babylon]. I will bring them back to this land that I gave to their ancestors, and this land will belong to them again. [That will surely happen because] I, Yahweh, have said 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 Yahweh gave [to me] another message concerning [the people of] Israel and Judah.
Y estas son las palabras que Yahvé dirige a Israel y a Judá:
5 This is what he said: “I hear people screaming because they are terrified [DOU]; there is no peace [in the land].
“Así dice Yahvé: Hemos oído voces de terror, de espanto, y no de paz.
6 But think about this: Men certainly do not [RHQ] give birth to babies. Therefore, why do strong men stand there, with their faces very white/pale, with their hands pressed against their stomachs, like women who are about to give birth to babies?
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 [Terrible things will soon happen]; that will be a terrible day! There has never been such a time. It will be a time when [my] Israeli people will experience great trouble, but [finally] they will be saved [from their sufferings].”
¡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 The Commander of the armies of angels says this: “At that time [it will be as though] I will sever/cut the ropes [that are around my people], and I will free them from being (slaves/forced to do what the King of Babylon wants them to do) [MET]. People in other countries will no longer be their bosses.
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 My people will [again] serve me, Yahweh, their God, and [they will serve a king who is a descendant of] King David; [they will serve the king] whom I will appoint for them.
pues servirá a Yahvé su Dios, y a David su rey, que Yo les suscitaré.
10 So, [you people of] Israel who serve me, do not be dismayed/worried [now], because [some day] I will bring you back from distant places; I will bring your descendants [back home] from the land to which they were exiled. [Then you] Israeli people will [again] live peacefully and safely, and there will not be any [nation] that will cause you to be terrified.
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 I, Yahweh, say that I will be with you and will rescue you; I will completely destroy the nations to which I have scattered you. But I will not completely destroy you. I will punish you [for your many sins], but I will punish you [only] as severely as you deserve: I would be doing wrong if I did not punish you at all.”
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 Yahweh [also] says this: “[You have (suffered very much/endured many disasters)]; [it is as though] you have a terrible wound that cannot be cured.
Porque así dice Yahvé: Tu llaga es incurable, y sin remedio tu herida.
13 There is no one to help you, no one to put a bandage on your wound. There is no [medicine that will] heal you.
No hay quien tome tu causa para (vendar) tu herida; no hay medicamentos para curarte.
14 All your allies [MET] have deserted you and they do not want to help you [any more]. [It is true that] I have punished you severely, [like your] enemies would wound you, because you have committed many sins and you are very guilty.
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 [Because that is true], why do you protest about my punishing you, [as though I had caused] a wound that could not be cured [RHQ]? It was necessary for me to punish you, because you had committed many sins and you were very guilty.
¿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 But [some day] all those who [are trying to] destroy you will be destroyed; all your enemies will be exiled [to other nations]. All those who have stolen things from you will have their [valuable] possessions stolen, and all those who attack you will be attacked.
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 [Everyone] says that you are (outcasts/people that they no longer associate with), and that [you live in] Jerusalem, a city that no one cares about.” But Yahweh says, “I will heal your injuries/wounds and cause you to be healthy again.”
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 This is what Yahweh says: “I will bring the people of Israel back from the lands to which they were taken and enable them to possess their land and their houses again. [When that happens], Jerusalem will be rebuilt on top of its ruins, and the [king’s] palace will be rebuilt to be like it was before.
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 People will [again] sing joyfully to thank [me], and I will cause there to be more people [in Jerusalem], not fewer; I will cause them to be honored, not despised.
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 will [prosper] like they did before. I will cause them to be a group of people [who worship] me, and I will punish any [nation] that oppresses them.
Serán sus hijos como al principio, su congregación tendrá estabilidad ante Mí; y castigaré a todos sus opresores.
21 One of their own people will be their king, and I will invite him to come close to me [to worship me], because no one [RHQ] would (dare/have courage) to come close to me [if I did not invite him].
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 [Israeli people] will be my people, and I will be your God.”
Y vosotros seréis mi pueblo, y Yo seré vuestro Dios.
23 Yahweh will punish [MTY] [your enemies]; [it will be like a great] storm; it will come down [like] a whirlwind, swirling around the heads of wicked people.
He aquí que se desata el torbellino de Yahvé, torbellino furioso que se precipita y descarga sobre la cabeza de los impíos.
24 He will not stop being angry until he completely accomplishes [all] that he has planned. In the future, you will understand [all] of this [clearly].
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.
