Jeremiah 33
1 While I was still being guarded in the courtyard of the palace, Yahweh gave me this second message:
Además, la palabra de Yahvé vino a Jeremías por segunda vez, mientras aún estaba encerrado en el patio de la guardia, diciendo:
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.
“Yahvé que lo hace, Yahvé que lo forma para establecerlo — Yahvé es su nombre —, dice:
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 yo te responderé, y te mostraré cosas grandes y difíciles, 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 Yahvé, el Dios de Israel, dice acerca de las casas de esta ciudad y de las casas de los reyes de Judá, que están derribadas para hacer una defensa contra los montículos 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.
‘Mientras los hombres vienen a luchar con los caldeos y a llenarlas de cadáveres de hombres, a quienes he matado en mi cólera y en mi ira, y por toda su maldad he ocultado mi rostro de esta ciudad,
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 le traeré salud y curación, y los curaré; y les revelaré abundancia de paz y de verdad.
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.
Restableceré la fortuna de Judá e Israel, y los edificaré 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.
Los limpiaré de toda su iniquidad con la que han pecado contra mí. Perdonaré todas sus iniquidades con las que han pecado contra mí y con las que se han rebelado 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.’
Esta ciudad será para mí un nombre de alegría, de alabanza y de gloria ante todas las naciones de la tierra, que oirán todo el bien que les hago, y temerán y temblarán por todo el bien y por toda la paz que les proporciono”.
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,
Dice el Señor: “Pero otra vez se oirá en este lugar, del que decís: ‘Está desolado, sin hombres y sin animales, en las ciudades de Judá y en las calles de Jerusalén, que están desoladas, sin hombres y sin habitantes y sin animales’,
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.’
la voz de la alegría y la voz del gozo, la voz del novio y la voz de la novia, la voz de los que dicen: ‘Dad gracias a Yahvé de los Ejércitos, porque Yahvé es bueno, porque su bondad es eterna; que traen la acción de gracias a la casa de Yahvé. Porque haré que el cautiverio de la tierra se revierta como al principio”, 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.
El Señor de los Ejércitos dice: “Volverá a haber en este lugar, que es un desierto, sin hombres y sin animales, y en todas sus ciudades, una morada de pastores que hagan descansar sus 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 región montañosa, en las ciudades de la llanura, en las ciudades del sur, en la tierra de Benjamín, en los lugares que rodean a Jerusalén y en las ciudades de Judá, los rebaños volverán a pasar bajo las manos del que los cuenta”, dice el Señor.
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 la buena palabra que he dicho sobre la casa de Israel y sobre 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 aquella época, Haré que crezca una rama de justicia hasta David. Hará justicia y rectitud 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 esos días Judá se salvará, y Jerusalén habitará con seguridad. Este es el nombre por el que será llamada: Yahvé nuestra justicia”.
17 And this is [also] what [I], Yahweh, say: ‘There will be descendants of King David ruling [MTY] Israel forever.
Porque Yahvé dice: “Nunca le faltará a David un hombre que se siente en 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.’”
A los sacerdotes levitas no les faltará un hombre delante de mí para ofrecer holocaustos, quemar ofrendas y hacer sacrificios continuamente.”
19 [Then] Yahweh gave me this message:
La palabra de Yahvé vino a Jeremías, diciendo:
20 “This is what [I], Yahweh, say: ‘[You] certainly cannot annul my promise/agreement to cause nighttime to follow daytime each day.
“Dice Yahvé: ‘Si puedes romper mi pacto del día y mi pacto de la noche, de modo que no haya día ni noche en 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 también podría romperse mi pacto con David mi siervo, para que no tenga un hijo que reine en su trono; y con los sacerdotes levitas, mis ministros.
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.’”
Como el ejército del cielo no se puede contar y la arena del mar no se puede medir, así multiplicaré la descendencia de mi siervo David y de los levitas que me sirven”.
23 Yahweh gave another message to me. He said,
La palabra de Yahvé vino a Jeremías, diciendo:
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 consideres lo que ha dicho este pueblo, diciendo: “¿Acaso Yahvé ha desechado a las dos familias que eligió?”. Así desprecian a mi pueblo, para que no sea más una nación ante ellos”.
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.
Dice Yahvé: “Si mi pacto del día y de la noche falla, si no he establecido las ordenanzas 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 también desecharé a la descendencia de Jacob y de David, mi siervo, para no tomar de su descendencia a los gobernantes de la descendencia de Abraham, de Isaac y de Jacob; porque haré que su cautiverio sea revertido y tendré misericordia de ellos.”
