< Jeremiah 33 >

1 While I was still being guarded in the courtyard of the palace, Yahweh gave me this second message:
La Palabra de Yavé vino por segunda vez a Jeremías, cuando él aún estaba preso en el patio de la guardia:
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.
Yavé, Quien hizo la tierra, Yavé, Quien la formó para afirmarla; Yavé 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 enseñaré cosas grandes y ocultas que tú no sabes.
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 Yavé ʼElohim de Israel dice esto con respecto a las casas de esta ciudad y las de los reyes de Judá, las cuales fueron derribadas para construir defensas contra las torres de asedio y 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.
Porque los caldeos vienen a combatir contra ella. La llenarán de cadáveres humanos, a quienes maté con mi furor y mi ira, porque oculté mi rostro de esta ciudad a causa de toda su perversidad.
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.
Ciertamente Yo traeré medicina y sanidad. Los sanaré y les revelaré una abundancia de paz y 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.
Regresaré a los cautivos de Judá y de Israel. 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.
Los limpiaré de toda su iniquidad con la cual pecaron contra Mí. Perdonaré todas sus iniquidades con las cuales pecaron y transgredieron 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.’
[La ciudad] será para Mí un nombre de regocijo, alabanza y gloria entre todas las naciones de la tierra, las cuales oirán de todo el bien que Yo le proveo. Temerán y temblarán a causa de todo el bien y toda la paz que 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,
Yavé dice: En este lugar del cual ustedes dicen que está desolado, sin hombres ni animales, en las ciudades de Judá y en las calles de Jerusalén que están desoladas, sin habitante ni animal,
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 aún voz de regocijo y alegría, voz de comprometido y comprometida, voz de los que digan: Alaben a Yavé de las huestes, porque Yavé es bueno, porque para siempre es su misericordia. Voz de los que traigan ofrendas de acción de gracias a la Casa de Yavé. Porque traeré a los cautivos de la tierra como al principio, dice Yavé.
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.
Yavé de las huestes dice: En este lugar que está desolado, sin hombres ni animales, y en todas sus ciudades, aún habrá prados donde los pastores recuesten 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.
Otra vez pasarán rebaños bajo la mano del que los cuente en las ciudades de la tierra montañosa, de la Sefela, del Neguev, de Benjamín, los alrededores de Jerusalén y las ciudades de Judá, dice Yavé.
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].
Ciertamente vienen días, dice Yavé, en los cuales Yo confirmaré la buena Palabra que hablé 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 haré que brote para David un Retoño de Justicia, el cual practicará juicio recto 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 salvado, y Jerusalén estará segura. Será llamada: Yavé, Justicia Nuestra.
17 And this is [also] what [I], Yahweh, say: ‘There will be descendants of King David ruling [MTY] Israel forever.
Porque Yavé dice: No faltará a David un varón 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.’”
Ni a los sacerdotes y levitas faltará varón que ofrezca ofrenda quemada, ofrenda encendida y sacrificio delante de Mí, todos los días.
19 [Then] Yahweh gave me this message:
Vino la Palabra de Yavé a Jeremías:
20 “This is what [I], Yahweh, say: ‘[You] certainly cannot annul my promise/agreement to cause nighttime to follow daytime each day.
Yavé dice: Si pueden anular mi Pacto con el día y la noche, de manera que no haya día ni 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 también podrá ser invalidado mi Pacto con mi esclavo David, para que deje de tener un hijo que se siente en su trono, y mi Pacto con los levitas y sacerdotes, 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 no puede ser contada la hueste del cielo, ni se puede medir la arena del mar, del mismo modo [no podrás contar] la descendencia de mi esclavo David y la de los levitas que me sirven.
23 Yahweh gave another message to me. He said,
Otra vez vino la Palabra de Yavé a Jeremías:
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 oyes lo que dice este pueblo? Las dos familias que Yavé escogió las desechó. Así desprecian a mi pueblo hasta el punto de no considerarlo como nación.
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.
Yavé dice: Si no es cierto mi Pacto con el día y la noche, ni mis designios para el cielo y 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 desecharé el linaje de Jacob y de mi esclavo David para tomar de su descendencia quien gobierne sobre el linaje de Abraham, de Isaac y de Jacob. Porque los regresaré de su cautividad y tendré misericordia de ellos.
