Jeremiah 33
1 While I was still being guarded in the courtyard of the palace, Yahweh gave me this second message:
Estaba Jeremías todavía preso en el patio de la cárcel, cuando le llegó por segunda vez la palabra de Yahvé, y le dijo:
2 “This is what I, the one who made the earth, who formed/shaped it and put it in its place, say [to the people of Jerusalem]: ‘My name is Yahweh.
“Así dice Yahvé, el que hace (todo) esto, Yahvé, el que lo dispone y le da el cumplimiento. Yahvé es su Nombre.
3 Call out to me, and [then] I will tell you great and wonderful things that you have not known [before].’
Clama a Mí, y te responderé, y te mostraré cosas grandes y ocultas que tú no conoces.
4 This is what [I, ] Yahweh, the God whom [you] Israeli people [say you belong to], say: ‘[The men in this city] have torn down [some of] their houses, and [even parts of] the king’s palace, to get materials to strengthen the walls around the city, in order that [the soldiers of Babylonia will not be able to break through the walls after they climb up] the ramps that they have built against the walls, and [kill the inhabitants with] their swords.
Porque así dice Yahvé, el Dios de Israel, acerca de las casas de esta ciudad, y acerca de las casas de los reyes de Judá derribadas (para hacer fortificaciones) contra los terraplenes y contra la espada,
5 You are expecting to fight against the army from Babylonia, but [what will happen is that] the houses of this city will be filled with the corpses of the men of this city whom I will [allow to be killed] because I am extremely angry [DOU] with them. I have abandoned them because of all the wicked things that they have done.
y acerca de los que van a luchar contra los caldeos, para llenar aquellas (casas) de cadáveres de hombres, que Yo herí en mi ira y en mi indignación, porque he apartado mi rostro de esta ciudad a causa de todas sus maldades:
6 However, [there will be a time when] I will cause the people in this city to be healthy and strong again. I will enable them to be prosperous and have peace.
He aquí que Yo les cicatrizaré la llaga, les daré salud y los sanaré y les manifestaré la abundancia de paz y seguridad.
7 I will bring the people of Judah and Israel back from the lands to which they were exiled. I will enable them to rebuild their towns.
Y haré que vuelvan los cautivos de Judá, y los cautivos de Israel, y los restableceré como al principio.
8 I will get rid of their guilt for all the sins that they have committed against me, and I will forgive them for their sin of rebelling against me.
Y los limpiaré de todas sus maldades que han cometido contra Mí; y les perdonaré todas las iniquidades, con que me han ofendido y hecho rebelión contra Mí;
9 [When that happens], all the nations of the world will rejoice, and they will praise me and honor me. They will hear about all the good things that I have done for this city and, because of that, they will revere me, and they will tremble because I have caused [the people in this city] to have peace and to prosper.’
y (Jerusalén) será para Mí un nombre de gozo, la alabanza y gloria (mía) entre todas las naciones de la tierra; pues sabrán todo el bien que Yo les haré, y quedarán llenos de temor y asombro a la vista de todo el bien y de toda la prosperidad que Yo les concederé.
10 And this is also what [I], Yahweh, say: ‘You people have said that this is a land where there are no [longer] any people or animals. But in the streets of Jerusalem that are now completely empty [DOU], and in the [other] towns in Judah,
Así dice Yahvé: Todavía se oirá en este lugar, del cual decís: «Es un desierto sin hombres y sin bestias», sí, en las ciudades de Judá y en las calles de Jerusalén, desoladas, sin hombres, sin habitantes, sin bestias,
11 [some day] people will again be happy and laugh. Brides and bridegrooms will [again] sing [joyfully]. And many other people will also sing joyfully as they bring their offerings to me to thank me [for what I have done for them]. [They will sing this song]: “[We] thank you, the Commander of the armies of angels, because you are good [to us]. You faithfully love [us] forever.” [They will sing that] because I will cause [the people of] land to be as prosperous as they were before.’
(se oirá) la voz de júbilo y la voz de alegría, la voz del esposo y la voz de la esposa, la voz de gentes que dicen: «Alabad a Yahvé de los ejércitos; porque Yahvé es bueno, porque es eterna su misericordia», (la voz) de los que traen ofrendas a la Casa de Yahvé; porque Yo restituiré a los desterrados de este país, a su primer estado, dice Yahvé.
12 This land is [now] desolate. There are no people or animals living here. But [I], the Commander of the armies of angels, say this: ‘In this land there will again be pastures/fields where shepherds will lead their sheep.
Así dice Yahvé de los ejércitos: En este lugar desolado, sin hombres y sin bestias y en todas sus ciudades, habrá todavía apriscos donde los pastores harán sestear los rebaños.
13 Shepherds will again count their sheep as the sheep walk by, outside the towns in the hilly area, in the western foothills, in the southern desert area, in the land [where the descendants] of Benjamin live, around Jerusalem, and outside [all] the [other] towns in Judah.’ [That will surely happen because I], Yahweh, have said it.
En las ciudades de la Montaña, como en las ciudades de la Sefelá, en las ciudades del Négueb, como en la tierra de Benjamín, en los alrededores de Jerusalén, como en las ciudades de Judá, pasarán aún las ovejas bajo la mano del que los cuenta, dice Yahvé.
14 Listen to this! [I], Yahweh, say that there will be a time when I will do for the people of Israel and Judah [all the good things that] I promised to do [for them].
He aquí que vienen días, dice Yahvé, en que cumpliré aquella buena palabra que di a la casa de Israel y a la casa de Judá.
15 At that time [DOU] I will appoint a righteous man who will be a descendant [MET] of King David. Throughout the land, he will do what is just and right.
En aquellos días y en ese tiempo suscitaré a David un Vástago justo que hará derecho y justicia en la tierra.
16 At that time, [the people of] Judah will be rescued [from their enemies], and [the people of] Jerusalem will be safe. And people will say that the name of the city is ‘Yahweh [is the one who] vindicates/defends us’.
En aquellos días Judá será salvo, y Jerusalén habitará en paz, y será llamada: «Yahvé, justicia nuestra».
17 And this is [also] what [I], Yahweh, say: ‘There will be descendants of King David ruling [MTY] Israel forever.
Porque así dice Yahvé: Nunca faltará a David un descendiente que se siente sobre el trono de la casa de Israel;
18 And there will always be priests who are descendants of Levi who [stand] in front of me and offer sacrifices that will be completely burned [on the altar] and who will burn grain offerings and [other] sacrifices.’”
y a los sacerdotes levitas tampoco les faltará un varón que delante de Mí ofrezca los holocaustos, y queme las ofrendas y presente sacrificios todos los días.”
19 [Then] Yahweh gave me this message:
Y llegó la palabra de Yahvé a Jeremías en estos términos:
20 “This is what [I], Yahweh, say: ‘[You] certainly cannot annul my promise/agreement to cause nighttime to follow daytime each day.
“Así dice Yahvé: Si podéis romper mi pacto con el día y mi pacto con la noche, de modo que no haya día y noche a su tiempo,
21 Similarly, you cannot annul the promise/agreement [that I made] with King David, who served me [well], that there will always be descendants of his who will rule [Judah]. The same is true for my agreement with the descendants of Levi who are priests who do work for me.
entonces será roto también mi pacto con David, mi siervo, de modo que no le nazca hijo que reine sobre su trono; y (mi pacto) con los levitas sacerdotes, ministros míos.
22 No one can count the stars in the sky, and no one can count the grains of sand at the seashore. Similarly, I will cause there to be a huge number of priests who are descendants of David and descendants of Levi who will work for me.’”
Así como no puede contarse la milicia celestial, ni medirse la arena del mar; así multiplicaré a los descendientes de David, mi siervo, y a los levitas, mis ministros.”
23 Yahweh gave another message to me. He said,
Y llegó a Jeremías esta palabra de Yahvé:
24 “Have you noticed/heard that some people are saying, ‘Yahweh chose two groups, the people [of Judah] and the people [of Israel], and [later] abandoned them.’ They are despising my people and saying that Israel no longer deserves to be considered a nation.
“¿No ves lo que dice este pueblo: «Yahvé ha desechado a las dos familias que había escogido?» Y así desprecian a mi pueblo, que a sus ojos ya no es pueblo.
25 But this is what I say: ‘I will not change my laws that control the day and the night, the sky and the earth.
Esto dice Yahvé: Si no he establecido Yo mi pacto con el día y con la noche, si no he fijado las leyes del cielo y de la tierra,
26 Similarly, I will never abandon the descendants of David or the [other] descendants of Jacob, and I will always allow descendants of David to rule the descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. I will bring my people back to their land, and I will act mercifully toward them.’”
entonces sí, desecharé el linaje de Jacob y de David, mi siervo; y no tomaré de su descendencia reyes para la raza de Abrahán, de Isaac y de Jacob. Porque haré volver a sus cautivos y tendré de ellos misericordia.”
