Jeremiah 30
1 Yahweh gave me another message. He said,
Palabra que vino a Jeremías de parte de Yahvé, diciendo:
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.
“Dice 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 vienen días — dice Yahvé — en que haré retroceder la cautividad de mi pueblo Israel y Judá — dice Yahvé. ‘Haré que vuelvan a la tierra que di a sus padres, y la poseerán’”.
4 Yahweh gave [to me] another message concerning [the people of] Israel and Judah.
Estas son las palabras que Yahvé habló sobre Israel y sobre Judá.
5 This is what he said: “I hear people screaming because they are terrified [DOU]; there is no peace [in the land].
Porque Yahvé dice: “Hemos oído una voz temblorosa; una voz de miedo, 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 ahora y ved si un hombre está de parto. Por qué veo a todos los hombres con las manos en la cintura, como una mujer de parto, y todos los rostros se vuelven pálidos?
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 ese día es grande, de modo que no hay ninguno como él! Es incluso el tiempo de la angustia de Jacob; pero se salvará de ello.
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.
Sucederá en ese día, dice el Señor de los Ejércitos, que romperé su yugo de tu cuello, y romperá tus ataduras. Los extraños ya no los convertirán en sus siervos;
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.
sino que servirán a Yahvé, su Dios, y David su rey, a quien yo les levantaré.
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.
No temas, pues, siervo mío Jacob, dice Yahvé. No te desanimes, Israel. Porque, he aquí que yo te salvaré desde lejos, y salva a tu descendencia de la tierra de su cautiverio. Jacob volverá, y estará tranquilo y a gusto. Nadie le hará tener miedo.
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 con ustedes, dice Yahvé, para salvarlos; porque voy a acabar por completo con todas las naciones en las que os he dispersado, pero no haré un final completo de ti; pero te corregiré en la medida, y de ninguna manera te dejará 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 Yahvé dice, “Tu herida es incurable. Tu herida es grave.
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 nadie que defienda tu causa, para que te aten. No tienes medicinas curativas.
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 te buscan. Porque te he herido con la herida de un enemigo, con el castigo de un cruel, por la grandeza de tu iniquidad, porque tus pecados fueron aumentados.
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 lloras por tu lesión? Su dolor es incurable. Por la grandeza de tu iniquidad, porque tus pecados han aumentado, Te he hecho estas cosas.
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.
Por lo tanto, todos los que te devoran serán devorados. Todos tus adversarios, todos ellos, irán al cautiverio. Los que te saquean serán saqueados. Haré que todos los que se aprovechan de ti se conviertan en presa.
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.”
Porque yo te devolveré la salud, y te curaré de tus heridas”, dice Yahvé, “porque te han llamado paria, diciendo: “Es Sión, a quien nadie busca”.
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.
Yahvé dice: “He aquí que voy a revertir el cautiverio de las tiendas de Jacob, y ten compasión de sus moradas. La ciudad se construirá en su propia colina, y el palacio será habitado en su propio lugar.
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.
La acción de gracias saldrá de ellos con la voz de los que se alegran. Los multiplicaré, y no serán pocos; También los glorificaré, y no serán pequeños.
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.
Sus hijos también serán como antes, y su congregación se establecerá ante mí. Castigaré a todos los que los opriman.
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].
Su príncipe será uno de ellos, y su gobernante saldrá de entre ellos. Haré que se acerque, y se acercará a mí; porque ¿quién es el que ha tenido la osadía de acercarse a mí?”, dice Yahvé.
22 You [Israeli people] will be my people, and I will be your God.”
“Vosotros seréis mi pueblo, y yo seré tu 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 la tormenta de Yahvé, su ira, ha salido, una tormenta arrolladora; estallará en la cabeza de los malvados.
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].
La feroz ira de Yahvé no volverá hasta que haya cumplido, y hasta que haya realizado las intenciones de su corazón. En los últimos días lo entenderás”.
