Jeremiah 31
1 Yahweh says that at that time, he will be the God [who is worshiped by] all the clans in Israel, and they will be his people.
En aquel tiempo, dijo Jehová, yo seré por Dios a todos los linajes de Israel, y ellos me serán a mí por pueblo.
2 This is what Yahweh says: “Those [people] who remained alive and were not killed by [their enemies’] swords were blessed [by me even] in the desert; I enabled them to have peace.
Así dijo Jehová: Halló gracia en el desierto el pueblo, los que escaparon de la espada: anduvo por hacer hallar reposo a Israel.
3 Long ago [I, ] Yahweh, said to [your ancestors, ] the Israeli people, ‘I have loved you and I will continue to love you forever. By faithfully loving you, I have brought you close to myself.’
Jehová se manifestó a mí ya mucho tiempo ha, diciendo: Con amor eterno te amé: por tanto te suporté con misericordia.
4 And [now I tell you], my Israeli people whom I love [MET], that I will cause you to be a nation again. You will [joyfully] dance as you play your tambourines.
Aun te edificaré, y serás edificada, virgen de Israel: aun serás adornada con tus panderos, y saldrás en corro de danzantes.
5 Again you will plant your vineyards on the hills of Samaria, and you will eat the grapes [that grow there].
Aun plantarás viñas en los montes de Samaria: plantarán los plantadores, y profanarán.
6 There will be a time when watchmen will call out from the hills of Samaria [MTY], ‘Come, let’s go up to Jerusalem to [worship] Yahweh, our God!'”
Porque habrá día en que clamarán los guardas en el monte de Efraím: Levantáos y subamos en Sión a Jehová nuestro Dios.
7 And now Yahweh also says this: “Sing joyfully about [what I have done for] the people of Israel! Shout about [your nation, ] the greatest nation! Shout joyfully, praising me and saying, ‘Yahweh, rescue your people, the ones who are still alive!’
Porque así dijo Jehová: Alegráos en Jacob con alegría, y jubilád en la cabeza de las naciones, hacéd oír, alabád, y decíd: Salva, o! Jehová, tu pueblo, el resto de Israel.
8 Do that [because] I will bring them back from the northeast, from the most distant places on the earth. Among them will be blind people and lame people, women who are pregnant and women who are (having labor pains/about to give birth to babies). They will be a huge group of people!
He aquí que yo los torno de tierra del aquilón, y los juntaré de los fines de la tierra: habrá entre ellos ciegos y cojos, y mujeres preñadas y paridas juntamente: en grande compañía tornarán acá.
9 They will be crying as they return, and they will be praying [to me]. I will guide them along streams of water, on level paths where they will not stumble. [I will do this] because I am [like] a father to the Israeli people; [it is as though] Israel is my oldest son.”
Irán con lloro, mas con misericordias los haré volver, y hacerlos he andar junto a arroyos de aguas, por camino derecho en el cual no tropezarán; porque seré a Israel por padre, y Efraím será mi primogénito.
10 Yahweh says, “[You people in the] nations of the world, listen to this message from me. Then proclaim it to [people who live along] the coasts far away. I scattered my people, but I will gather them [again] and will take care of them like [SIM] a shepherd takes care of his sheep.
Oíd palabra de Jehová, o! naciones, y hacédlo saber en las islas que están lejos, y decíd: El que esparció a Israel, le juntará, y le guardará, como pastor a su ganado.
11 I will buy [my] Israeli people back from those who [conquered them because] they were more powerful [than my people].
Porque Jehová redimió a Jacob, redimióle de mano del más fuerte que él.
12 My people will return [to Jerusalem] and shout joyfully on the slopes of Zion Hill. They will rejoice about the things that I have abundantly given to them— grain and new wine and [olive] oil and young sheep and cattle. They themselves will be like a well-watered garden, and they will no longer be sad.
Y vendrán, y harán alabanzas en lo alto de Sión, y correrán al bien de Jehová, al pan, y al vino, y al aceite, al ganado de las ovejas y de las vacas; y su alma será como huerto de riego, ni nunca más tendrán dolor.
13 The young women will dance joyfully, and [all] the men, young ones and old ones, will join with them. I will cause them to rejoice instead of mourning; I will comfort them and cause them to be happy instead of being sad.
Entonces la virgen se holgará en la danza, los mozos y los viejos juntamente; y su lloro tornaré en gozo, y consolarlos he, y alegrarlos he de su dolor.
14 The priests will have plenty of things to eat and drink, and [all] my people will be filled with the good things that I give them. [That will certainly happen because I], Yahweh, have said it!”
Y el alma del sacerdote embriagaré de grosura, y mi pueblo será harto de mi bien, dijo Jehová.
15 Yahweh [also] says this: “Women were weeping in Ramah [town on the border between Israel and Judah]; they were mourning and crying very loudly. [The women who were the descendants of Ephraim and Manasseh, the two grandsons of] Rachel [the wife of Jacob], were weeping about their children, and no one could comfort them because their children were [all] dead.
Así dijo Jehová: Voz fue oída en lo alto, llanto, y lloro de amarguras: Raquel que lamenta por sus hijos, no quiso ser consolada de sus hijos, porque perecieron.
16 [But now] this is what [I], Yahweh, say: ‘Do not cry [any more], because I will reward you [for the good things you have done for your children]. Your children will return from the land where their enemies [have taken them].
Así dijo Jehová: Reprime tu voz del llanto, y tus ojos de las lágrimas; porque salario hay para tu obra, dice Jehová; y volverán de la tierra del enemigo.
17 [I], Yahweh, am telling you that there are things that you can confidently expect [me to do for you] in the future. Your children will return to their own land.’
Esperanza también hay para tu fin, dice Jehová, y los hijos volverán a su término.
18 I have heard [the people of] Israel grieving very much [and saying to me], ‘You punished us severely, like [SIM] calves are beaten [by their owners to train them for pulling a plow]. [So] bring us back [to obey/worship you again], because we are ready to return to you, because you [alone] are Yahweh, our God.
Oyendo oí a Efraím que se lamentaba: Azotásteme, y fui azotado como novillo no domado: tórname, y seré tornado; porque tú eres Jehová mi Dios.
19 We turned away [from you], but we repented; [after you] caused us to realize [that we were guilty]. We beat our chests to show that we were very ashamed [DOU] of the sins that we committed when we were young.’
Porque después que me convertí, tuve arrepentimiento; y después que me conocí, herí el muslo: confundíme y tuve vergüenza; porque llevé la vergüenza de mis mocedades.
20 But [I], Yahweh, say this: The Israeli people certainly are [RHQ] still my dear children [DOU]. It is often necessary for me to threaten [to punish] them, but I still love them. That is why I have not forgotten them, and I will certainly act mercifully toward them.
¿No es Efraím hijo precioso para mí? ¿no es para mí niño de placer? Con todo eso desde que hablé de él, acordándome me acordaré todavía: por tanto mis entrañas se comovieron sobre él, compadeciendo me compadeceré de él, dice Jehová.
21 [You Israeli people, ] set up road signs; put up posts [along the roads] to mark the road on which you walked [when you were taken from Jerusalem]. My precious/beloved Israeli people, come back to your towns here.
Establécete señales, pónte majanos altos, nota atentamente la calzada, el camino por donde veniste: vuélvete, virgen de Israel, vuélvete a estas tus ciudades.
22 You people who have been like [MET] daughters who have forsaken their parents, how long will you continue to wander [away from me] [RHQ]? I, Yahweh, will cause something to happen on the earth that (is new/has not happened before): The women of Israel will be protecting their husbands as they travel [back here]!”
¿Hasta cuándo andarás vagabunda, o! hija contumaz? Porque Jehová creará una cosa nueva sobre la tierra: Una hembra rodeará al Varón.
23 This is what the Commander of the armies of angels, the God whom [we] Israeli people [worship], says: “When I bring them back from the countries to which they have been exiled, all the people from the towns in Judah will again say, [‘I hope that] Yahweh will bless this my home, the holy place where righteous [people will live]!’
Así dijo Jehová de los ejércitos, Dios de Israel: Aun dirán esta palabra en la tierra de Judá, y en sus ciudades, cuando yo convertiré su cautividad: Jehová te bendiga, o! morada de justicia, o! monte santo.
24 [The people of] Judah [who live in] the towns, including the farmers and the shepherds, will all live together [peacefully].
Y morarán en ella Judá, y todas sus ciudades, también labradores, y los que van con rebaño.
25 I will enable weary people to rest, and enable people who are very exhausted to become strong again.”
Porque embriagué el alma cansada, y toda alma entristecida henchí.
26 I, [Jeremiah], woke up [after dreaming all those things], and I looked [around]. I had slept [very] delightfully!
Por esto me desperté, y ví, y mi sueño me fue sabroso.
27 [Then] Yahweh said [to me], “There will be a time when I will greatly increase [MET] the number of people and the number of livestock here in Israel and Judah.
He aquí que vienen días, dijo Jehová, y sembraré la casa de Israel, y la casa de Judá de simiente de hombre, y de simiente de animal.
28 [Previously], I caused [their enemies to] remove the people from their land and to destroy their land and to cause them to experience many disasters [DOU]. But in the future, I will enable them to build houses and to plant crops [here in Israel again]. [That will surely happen because I], Yahweh, have said it.
Y será que como tuve cuidado de ellos para arrancar, y derribar, y trastornar, y perder, y afligir; así tendré cuidado de ellos para edificar, y plantar, dijo Jehová.
29 [Previously the people often said, ] ‘The parents have eaten sour grapes, but it is the children’s teeth that ache.’ [They meant that it was not fair for them to be punished for their ancestors’ sins]. But [when I bring them back to their land], they will no longer say that.
En aquellos días no dirán más: Los padres comieron las uvas acedas, y los dientes de los hijos tienen la dentera.
30 But now all people will die because of the sins that they themselves have committed.
Mas cada cual morirá por su maldad: los dientes de todo hombre que comiere las uvas acedas tendrán la dentera.
31 [I], Yahweh, say this: ‘There will be a time when I will make a new agreement with the people of Israel and Judah.
He aquí que vienen días, dijo Jehová, en los cuales haré nuevo concierto con la casa de Jacob, y con la casa de Judá:
32 [This new agreement will] not be like the agreement that I made with their ancestors when I took them by their hands and led them out of Egypt. They broke that agreement, even though I [loved them like] [MET] husbands love their wives.’
No como el concierto que hice con sus padres el día que tomé su mano para sacarlos de tierra de Egipto; porque ellos invalidaron mi concierto, y yo me enseñoreé de ellos, dijo Jehová.
33 This is what I, Yahweh, say: ‘This is the new agreement that I will make with the people of Israel some day: I will put my laws in their minds and write them on their inner beings. I will be their God, and they will be my people.
Mas este es el concierto que haré con la casa de Israel después de aquellos días, dijo Jehová: Daré mi ley dentro de ellos, y escribirla he en su corazón; y seré yo a ellos por Dios, y ellos me serán a mí por pueblo.
34 And it will not be [necessary] for them to teach their neighbors or their relatives and say, “[You need to] know Yahweh,” because everyone, including unimportant people and very important people, will [already] know me. And I will forgive them for having been very wicked, and I will never think again about the sins that they have committed.’”
Y no enseñará más ninguno a su prójimo, ni ninguno a su hermano, diciendo: Conocéd a Jehová; porque todos me conocerán desde el más chiquito de ellos hasta el más grande, dijo Jehová; porque perdonaré su maldad, y no me acordaré más de su pecado.
35 Yahweh is the one who causes the sun to give light during the day, and who causes the moon and the stars to give light during the night. He stirs up the seas, with the result that waves roar. His name is the Commander of the armies of angels, and this is what he says:
Así dijo Jehová, que da el sol para luz del día, las leyes de la luna y de las estrellas para luz de la noche; que parte la mar, y sus ondas braman; Jehová de los ejércitos es su nombre.
36 “I will not reject my Israeli people any more than I will get rid of the laws [that control the universe].
Si estas leyes faltaren delante de mí, dijo Jehová, también la simiente de Israel faltará para no ser nación delante de mí todos los días.
37 And this is what I say: ‘No one can measure the sky, and no one can find out what is supporting the earth. Similarly, I cannot reject forever the descendants of Jacob because of all the [evil] things that they have done.’ [That is certain, because] I, Yahweh, have said it!
Así dijo Jehová: Si los cielos arriba se pueden medir, y abajo buscarse los fundamentos de la tierra, también yo desecharé toda la simiente de Israel por todo lo que hicieron, dijo Jehová.
38 [I], Yahweh, also say that there will be a time when [everything in] Jerusalem will be rebuilt for me, from the tower of Hananel [at the northeast corner, west] to [the gate named] the Corner Gate.
He aquí que vienen días, dijo Jehová y la ciudad será edificada a Jehová, desde la torre de Jananeel hasta la puerta del rincón.
39 [Workers] will stretch a measuring line/string over Gareb Hill all the way [southwest] to Goah.
Y saldrá más adelante el cordel de la medida delante de él sobre el collado de Gareb, y cercará a Goata:
40 And the whole area, including the place where corpses and ashes are thrown in the [Kidron] Valley, and all the fields to the east as far as the Horse Gate, will become set apart for me. And the city [of Jerusalem] will never again be captured or destroyed.”
Y a todo el valle de los cuerpos muertos, y de la ceniza, y todas las llanuras hasta el arroyo de Cedrón, hasta la esquina de la puerta de los caballos al oriente, santo a Jehová: no será arrancado, ni destruido más para siempre.
