Jeremías 27
1 En el principio del reinado de Zedequías, hijo de Josías, rey de Judá, vino esta Palabra de Yavé a Jeremías:
In the beginning of the reign of Jehoiakim son of Josiah, king of Judah, this word has been to Jeremiah from YHWH, saying,
2 Yavé me dice: Haz correas y yugos, y ponlos sobre tu nuca.
“Thus said YHWH to me: Make bands and yokes for yourself,
3 Los enviarás al rey de Edom, al rey de Moab, al rey de los hijos de Amón, al rey de Tiro y al rey de Sidón, por medio de los mensajeros que llegan a Jerusalén a consulta con Sedequías, rey de Judá.
and you have put them on your neck, and have sent them to the king of Edom, and to the king of Moab, and to the king of the sons of Ammon, and to the king of Tyre, and to the king of Sidon, by the hand of messengers who are coming to Jerusalem, to Zedekiah king of Judah;
4 Les encargarás que digan a sus jefes: Yavé de las huestes, el ʼElohim de Israel, dice: Digan a sus jefes:
and you have commanded them for their lords, saying, Thus said YHWH of Hosts, God of Israel:
5 Yo hice la tierra, al hombre y las bestias que están sobre la superficie de la tierra con mi gran poder y con mi brazo extendido, y doy [la tierra] al que me place.
Thus you say to your lords, I have made the earth with man, and the livestock that [are] on the face of the earth, by My great power, and by My outstretched arm, and I have given it to whom it has been right in My eyes.
6 Ahora Yo entregué todas estas tierras en mano de Nabucodonosor, rey de Babilonia, esclavo mío. Aun le entregué los animales del campo para que le sirvan.
And now, I have given all these lands into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, My servant, and I have also given the beast of the field to him to serve him;
7 Todas las naciones le servirán a él, a su hijo y a su nieto, hasta que también llegue el tiempo [de destrucción] de su propia tierra, y muchas naciones y grandes reyes la reduzcan a esclavitud.
and all the nations have served him, and his son, and his son’s son, until the coming in of the time of his land, also it; and many nations and great kings have made him serve them.
8 La nación o el reino que no sirva a Nabucodonosor, rey de Babilonia, y que no se someta al yugo del rey de Babilonia, la castigaré con espada, con hambre y pestilencia, dice Yavé, hasta que destruya a esa nación por medio de él.
And it has come to pass, the nation and the kingdom that does not serve him—Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon—and that which does not put its neck into the yoke of the king of Babylon, with sword, and with famine, and with pestilence, I lay a charge on that nation—a declaration of YHWH—until I consume them by his hand.
9 Ustedes no escuchen a sus profetas, a sus adivinos, a sus soñadores, a sus agoreros, ni a sus hechiceros que les hablan. No servirán al rey de Babilonia.
And you, you do not listen to your prophets, and to your diviners, and to your dreamers, and to your observers of clouds, and to your sorcerers who are speaking to you, saying, You do not serve the king of Babylon—
10 Porque les profetizan mentira a fin de que los remuevan lejos de su tierra, para que Yo los eche fuera y perezcan.
For they are prophesying falsehood to you, so as to remove you far from your ground, and I have driven you out, and you have perished.
11 Pero la nación que se someta al yugo del rey de Babilonia y le sirva, permanecerá en su propia tierra, la labrará y vivirá en ella, dice Yavé.
And the nation that causes its neck to enter into the yoke of the king of Babylon, and has served him—I have left it on its ground—a declaration of YHWH—and it has tilled it, and dwelt in it.”
12 Hablé a Sedequías, rey de Judá, todas estas palabras: Sométanse al yugo del rey de Babilonia. Sírvanle a él y a su pueblo, y vivirán.
And I have spoken to Zedekiah king of Judah according to all these words, saying, “Cause your necks to enter into the yoke of the king of Babylon, and serve him and his people, and live.
13 ¿Por qué deben morir tú y tu pueblo por la espada, el hambre y la pestilencia? como Yavé dijo con respecto a la nación que no sirva al rey de Babilonia.
Why do you die, you and your people, by sword, by famine, and by pestilence, as YHWH has spoken concerning the nation that does not serve the king of Babylon?
14 No escuchen las palabras de los profetas que les hablan y dicen: No sirvan al rey de Babilonia. Porque les profetizan mentira.
And you do not listen to the words of the prophets who are speaking to you, saying, You do not serve the king of Babylon—for they are prophesying falsehood to you.
15 Porque Yavé dice: Yo no los envié. Sin embargo, ellos profetizan falsamente en mi Nombre, de modo que Yo los expulse y perezcan ustedes y los profetas que les profetizan.
For I have not sent them—a declaration of YHWH—and they are prophesying falsely in My Name, so as to drive you out, and you have perished, you and the prophets who are prophesying to you.”
16 También hablé a los sacerdotes y a todo este pueblo: Así dice Yavé: No escuchen las palabras de sus profetas, quienes les profetizan: En verdad, los utensilios de la Casa de Yavé serán traídos pronto de Babilonia, porque les profetizan mentira.
And to the priests, and to all this people, I have spoken, saying, “Thus said YHWH: You do not listen to the words of your prophets, who are prophesying to you, saying, Behold, the vessels of the house of YHWH are now brought back from Babylon in haste, for they are prophesying falsehood to you.
17 No los escuchen. Sirvan al rey de Babilonia y vivan. ¿Por qué debe ser desolada esta ciudad?
You do not listen to them; serve the king of Babylon and live! Why is this city a ruin?
18 Si ellos son profetas, y si la Palabra de Yavé está con ellos, intercedan ahora ante Yavé de las huestes para que los utensilios que quedan de la Casa de Yavé, en el palacio del rey de Judá y en Jerusalén no vayan a Babilonia.
And if they are prophets, and if a word of YHWH is with them, let them now intercede with YHWH of Hosts, so that the vessels that are left in the house of YHWH, and [in] the house of the king of Judah, and in Jerusalem, have not gone into Babylon.
19 Porque Yavé de las huestes dice esto con respecto a las columnas, del mar, de las basas y del resto de los utensilios que quedan en esta ciudad,
For thus said YHWH of Hosts concerning the pillars, and concerning the sea, and concerning the bases, and concerning the rest of the vessels that are left in this city,
20 que Nabucodonosor, rey de Babilonia, no tomó cuando llevó cautivos de Jerusalén a Babilonia, a Jeconías, hijo de Joacim, rey de Judá, y a todos los nobles de Judá y de Jerusalén.
that Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon has not taken, in his removing Jeconiah son of Jehoiakim king of Judah from Jerusalem to Babylon with all the nobles of Judah and Jerusalem,
21 Con respecto a los utensilios que quedan en la Casa de Yavé, en el palacio del rey de Judá y en Jerusalén, Yavé de las huestes, ʼElohim de Israel, dice:
surely thus said YHWH of Hosts, God of Israel, concerning the vessels that are left of the house of YHWH, and of the house of the king of Judah, and [in] Jerusalem:
22 Serán llevados a Babilonia, y allí estarán hasta el día cuando me acuerde de ellos, dice Yavé. Entonces los traeré y los restituiré a este lugar.
They are brought to Babylon, and there they are until the day of My inspecting them—a declaration of YHWH; then I have brought them up, and have brought them back to this place.”
