Jeremiah 32

1 This is the word that came to Jeremiah from Yahweh in the tenth year of Zedekiah king of Judah, the eighteenth year of Nebuchadnezzar.

Palabra de Yavé que vino a Jeremías el año 10 de Sedequías, rey de Judá, año 18 de Nabucodonosor.

2 At that time, the army of the king of Babylon was besieging Jerusalem, and Jeremiah the prophet was imprisoned in the courtyard of the guard at the house of the king of Judah.

En aquel tiempo el ejército del rey de Babilonia tenía sitiada a Jerusalén y el profeta Jeremías estaba preso en el patio de la guardia de la casa del rey de Judá.

3 Zedekiah king of Judah had imprisoned him and said, “Why do you prophesy and say, 'Yahweh says this: Look, I am about to give over this city into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he will capture it.

Sedequías, rey de Judá, lo encarceló y lo acusó: Tú profetizaste y dijiste: Yavé dice: Yo entregaré esta ciudad en mano del rey de Babilonia, quien la tomará.

4 Zedekiah king of Judah will not escape from the hand of the Chaldeans, for he will certainly be given into the hand of the king of Babylon. His mouth will speak to the king's mouth, and his eyes will see the king's eyes.

Sedequías, rey de Judá, no escapará de la mano de los caldeos, sino será entregado sin falta en mano del rey de Babilonia, quien le hablará cara a cara, y sus ojos verán tus ojos.

5 He will take Zekediah to Babylon, and he will remain there until I have dealt with him—this is Yahweh's declaration. Though you fight against the Chaldeans, you will not succeed.'”

Llevará a Sedequías a Babilonia y allá estará hasta que Yo lo visite. Si combaten a los caldeos, no saldrán bien, dice Yavé.

6 Jeremiah said, “The word of Yahweh came to me, saying,

Jeremías dijo: La Palabra de Yavé vino a mí:

7 'Look, Hanamel son of Shallum your uncle is coming to you and will say, “Buy my field that is in Anathoth for yourself, for the right to buy it belongs to you.”'”

Mira, Hanameel, hijo de tu tío Salum, viene para decirte: Cómprame mi heredad que está en Anatot, porque tú tienes el derecho de redención para comprarla.

8 Then, as Yahweh had declared, Hanamel, the son of my uncle, came to me in the courtyard of the guard, and he said to me, “Buy my field that is in Anathoth in the land of Benjamin, for the right of inheritance is yours, and the right to buy it belongs to you. Buy it for yourself.” Then I knew that this was Yahweh's word.

Según la Palabra de Yavé, Hanameel, hijo de mi tío, vino a mí al patio de la guardia, y me dijo: Cómprame mi propiedad que está en Anatot en tierra de Benjamín, porque el derecho de adquirirla es tuyo. El rescate te corresponde. Cómprala para ti. Entonces entendí que era la Palabra de Yavé.

9 So I bought the field in Anathoth from Hanamel, the son of my uncle, and I weighed out for him the silver, seventeen shekels in weight.

Compré la heredad de Hanameel, hijo de mi tío, que estaba en Anatot, y le pesé el dinero: 3,2 kilogramos de plata.

10 Then I wrote in a scroll and sealed it, and had witnesses witness it. Then I weighed the silver in the scales.

Escribí el documento, ordené certificarlo con testigos y le pesé el dinero en balanza.

11 Next I took the deed of purchase that was sealed, following the command and the statutes, as well as the unsealed deed.

Tomé luego el documento de venta, tanto el sellado según el derecho y la costumbre, como la copia abierta.

12 I gave the sealed scroll to Baruch son of Neriah son of Mahseiah in front of Hanamel, the son of my uncle, and the witnesses who had written in the sealed scroll, and in front of all the Judeans who sat in the courtyard of the guard.

Di el documento de propiedad a Baruc, hijo de Nerías, hijo de Maasías, delante de Hanameel, el hijo de mi tío, y delante de los testigos que suscribieron el documento de la compra, delante de todos los judíos que estaban en el patio de la cárcel.

13 So I gave a command to Baruch before them. I said,

Lo encargué a Baruc delante de ellos:

14 “Yahweh of hosts, God of Israel, says this: Take these documents, both this receipt of purchase that is sealed and the unsealed copies of the deed of purchase, and put them in a clay jar so they will last for a long time.

Yavé de las huestes, ʼElohim de Israel, dice: Toma estos documentos, el documento de compra sellado y la copia abierta. Ponlos en una vasija de arcilla para que se conserven muchos días.

15 For Yahweh of hosts, God of Israel, says this: Houses, fields, and vineyards will again be bought in this land.”

Porque Yavé de las huestes, ʼElohim de Israel, dice: Aún se comprarán casas, heredades y viñas en esta tierra.

16 After I gave the receipt of purchase to Baruch son of Neriah, I prayed to Yahweh and said,

Después que di el documento de venta a Baruc, hijo de Nerías, oré a Yavé:

17 “Woe, Lord Yahweh! Look! You alone have made the heavens and the earth by your great strength and with your raised arm. Nothing you say is too difficult for you to do.

Oh ʼAdonay Yavé, en verdad Tú hiciste el cielo y la tierra con tu gran poder y con tu brazo extendido. Nada es imposible para Ti.

18 You show covenant faithfulness to thousands and pour the guilt of men into the laps of their children after them. You are the great and mighty God; Yahweh of hosts is your name.

Tú muestras misericordia a millares y castigas la maldad de los padres, después de ellos, a sus hijos. ʼElohim grande, poderoso, Yavé de las huestes es tu Nombre.

19 You are great in wisdom and mighty in deeds, for your eyes are open to all the ways of people, to give to each man what his conduct and deeds deserve.

Grande en consejo, y poderoso en obra. Porque tus ojos están abiertos sobre todos los caminos de los hijos de [los] hombres, para dar a cada uno según sus procedimientos y el fruto de sus obras.

20 You did signs and wonders in the land of Egypt. To this present day here in Israel and among all mankind, you have made your name famous.

Tú hiciste señales y portentos en la tierra de Egipto, en Israel y entre los hombres hasta hoy. Te hiciste un Nombre, como se ve hoy.

21 For you brought your people Israel out from the land of Egypt with signs and wonders, with a strong hand, with a raised arm, and with great terror.

Sacaste a tu pueblo Israel de la tierra de Egipto con señales y portentos, mano fuerte y brazo extendido, y gran terror.

22 Then you gave them this land—which you had sworn to their ancestors to give to them—a land flowing with milk and honey.

Les diste esta tierra de la cual juraste a sus antepasados que se la darías, una tierra que fluye leche y miel.

23 So they entered and took possession of it. But they did not obey your voice or live in obedience to your law. They did nothing of what you had commanded them to do, so you brought all this disaster on them.

Entraron y la disfrutaron. Pero no escucharon tu voz, ni anduvieron en tu Ley. Nada hicieron de lo que les mandaste hacer. Por tanto enviaste sobre ellos todo este mal.

24 Look! The siege mounds have reached up to the city to capture it. For because of sword, famine, and plague, the city has been given into the hand of the Chaldeans who are fighting against it. For what you have said would happen is happening, and see, you are watching.

Ciertamente con arietes atacaron la ciudad para tomarla. La ciudad será entregada en mano de los caldeos que pelean contra ella a causa de la espada, del hambre y de la pestilencia. Sucedió lo que Tú dijiste y aquí lo ves.

25 Then you yourself said to me, “Purchase a field for yourself with silver and have witnesses witness it, even though this city is being given into the hand of the Chaldeans.”

Oh ʼAdonay Yavé. ¿Tú me dijiste: Compra la heredad por dinero y llama testigos, aunque la ciudad sea entregada en la mano de los caldeos?

26 The word of Yahweh came to Jeremiah, saying,

Y la Palabra de Yavé vino a Jeremías:

27 “Look! I am Yahweh, God of all mankind. Is anything too difficult for me to do?

Ciertamente Yo soy Yavé, ʼElohim de todo ser humano. Nada hay imposible para Mí.

28 Therefore Yahweh says this, 'See, I am about to give this city into the hand of the Chaldeans and Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon. He will capture it.

Por tanto Yavé dice: Ciertamente entregaré esta ciudad en mano de los caldeos y de Nabucodonosor, rey de Babilonia. La tomará.

29 The Chaldeans who are fighting against this city will come and set fire to this city and burn it, along with the houses on the roofs of which the people worshiped Baal and poured out drink offerings to other gods in order to provoke me.

Los caldeos que atacan esta ciudad entrarán y la incendiarán. La quemarán, como las casas en cuyas azoteas ofrecían incienso a baal y derramaban libaciones a ʼelohim extraños para provocarme a ira.

30 For the people of Israel and Judah have certainly been people who have been doing evil before my eyes since their youth. The people of Israel have certainly offended me with the practices of their hands—this is Yahweh's declaration.

Porque los hijos de Israel y los hijos de Judá no hicieron sino lo malo ante mis ojos desde su juventud. Ciertamente los hijos de Israel no hicieron otra cosa que provocarme a ira con la obra de sus manos, dice Yavé.

31 Yahweh declares that this city has been a provocation of my wrath and fury since the day that they built it. It has been that right up to this present day. So I will remove it from before my face

Porque desde el día cuando edificaron esta ciudad hasta hoy, fueron para Mí causa de ira y furor, para que la quite de mi Presencia

32 because of all the wickedness of the people of Israel and Judah, the things that they have done to provoke me—they, their kings, princes, priests, prophets, and every person in Judah and inhabitant of Jerusalem.

por toda la maldad que cometieron los hijos de Israel y los hijos de Judá. Me provocaron a ira junto con sus reyes y magistrados, sus sacerdotes y profetas, los hombres de Judá y los habitantes de Jerusalén.

33 They turned their backs to me instead of their faces, though I had eagerly taught them. I tried to teach them, but not one of them listened in order to receive correction.

Me dieron la espalda y no la cara. Aunque les enseñaba de madrugada y sin cesar, no escucharon para recibir instrucción.

34 They set up their abominable idols in the house that is called by my name, to defile it.

Más bien emplazaron sus repugnancias en la Casa en la cual es invocado mi Nombre, y la contaminaron.

35 They built high places for Baal in the Valley of Ben Hinnom in order to put their sons and daughters in the fire for Molech. I did not command them. It never entered my mind that they should do this detestable thing and so cause Judah to sin.'

Edificaron lugares altos a baal en el Valle del Hijo de Hinom. Allí pasaron a sus hijos e hijas por el fuego en honor a Moloc, cosa que Yo no les mandé, ni me vino a la mente que podrían hacer tal repugnancia para que Judá pecara.

36 So now therefore, I, Yahweh, the God of Israel, say this concerning this city, the city about which you are saying, 'It is given into the hand of the king of Babylon by sword, famine, and plague.'

Ahora pues, Yavé ʼElohim de Israel, dice a esta ciudad de la cual dicen ustedes: Será entregada en mano del rey de Babilonia, a espada, hambre y pestilencia:

37 See, I am about to gather them from every land where I had driven them in my wrath, fury, and great anger. I am about to bring them back to this place and enable them to live in security.

Ciertamente Yo los reuniré de todas las tierras a las cuales los eché en mi furor, mi ira y en mi gran indignación. Los devolveré a este lugar y vivirán seguros.

38 Then they will be my people, and I will be their God.

Ellos serán mi pueblo y Yo seré su ʼElohim.

39 I will give them one heart and one way to honor me every day so it will be good for them and their descendants after them.

Les daré un solo corazón y un solo camino a fin de que me teman perpetuamente, para bien de ellos y de sus hijos, después de ellos.

40 Then I will make with them an everlasting covenant, that I will not turn away from doing good to them. I will set honor for me in their hearts, so that they will never turn away from me.

Haré un Pacto eterno con ellos: No desistiré de hacerles bien, y fijaré mi temor en el corazón de ellos para que no se aparten de Mí.

41 Then I will rejoice in doing good to them. I will faithfully plant them in this land with all my heart and all my life.

Me regocijaré con ellos al hacerles el bien. Los plantaré fielmente en esta tierra, con todo mi corazón y toda mi alma.

42 For Yahweh says this, 'Just as I have brought all this great disaster on this people, so I will bring on them all the good things that I have said I would do for them.

Porque Yavé dice: De la manera como traje sobre este pueblo todo este gran mal, traeré sobre ellos todo el bien que prometo con respecto a ellos.

43 Then fields will be bought in this land, about which you are saying, “This is a ruined land, which has neither man nor beast. It has been given into the hand of the Chaldeans.”

Se comprarán campos en esta tierra de la cual dicen ustedes que está desolada, sin hombres ni animales, y entregada en manos de los caldeos.

44 They will buy fields with silver and write in sealed scrolls. They will assemble witnesses in the land of Benjamin, all around Jerusalem and the cities of Judah, in the cities in the hill country and in the lowlands, and in the cities of the Negev. For I will bring back their fortunes—this is Yahweh's declaration.'”

Hombres comprarán campos por dinero, firmarán y sellarán documentos. Llamarán testigos en tierra de Benjamín, en los alrededores de Jerusalén, en las ciudades de Judá, de la región montañosa, de la Sefela y del Neguev, porque Yo regresaré a sus cautivos, dice Yavé.
