Jeremías 33
1 La Palabra de Yavé vino por segunda vez a Jeremías, cuando él aún estaba preso en el patio de la guardia:
Then the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah the second time, while he was still shut up in the place of the armed watchmen, saying,
2 Yavé, Quien hizo la tierra, Yavé, Quien la formó para afirmarla; Yavé es su nombre, dice:
These are the words of the Lord, who is doing it, the Lord who is forming it, to make it certain; the Lord is his name;
3 Clama a Mí y Yo te responderé y te enseñaré cosas grandes y ocultas que tú no sabes.
Let your cry come to me, and I will give you an answer, and let you see great things and secret things of which you had no knowledge.
4 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:
For this is what the Lord, the God of Israel, has said about the houses of this town and the houses of the kings of Judah, which have been broken down to make earthworks and ...;
5 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.
... and to make them full of the dead bodies of men whom I have put to death in my wrath and in my passion, and because of whose evil-doing I have kept my face covered from this town.
6 Ciertamente Yo traeré medicina y sanidad. Los sanaré y les revelaré una abundancia de paz y verdad.
See, I will make it healthy and well again, I will even make them well; I will let them see peace and good faith in full measure.
7 Regresaré a los cautivos de Judá y de Israel. Los restableceré como al principio.
And I will let the fate of Judah and of Israel be changed, building them up as at first.
8 Los limpiaré de toda su iniquidad con la cual pecaron contra Mí. Perdonaré todas sus iniquidades con las cuales pecaron y transgredieron contra mí.
And I will make them clean from all their sin, with which they have been sinning against me; I will have forgiveness for all their sins, with which they have been sinning against me, and with which they have done evil against me.
9 [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.
And this town will be to me for a name of joy, for a praise and a glory before all the nations of the earth, who, hearing of all the good which I am doing for them, will be shaking with fear because of all the good and the peace which I am doing for it.
10 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,
This is what the Lord has said: There will again be sounding in this place, of which you say, It is a waste, without man and without beast; even in the towns of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem which are waste and unpeopled, without man and without beast,
11 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.
Happy sounds, the voice of joy, the voice of the newly-married man and the voice of the bride, the voices of those who say, Give praise to the Lord of armies, for the Lord is good, for his mercy is unchanging for ever: the voices of those who go with praise into the house of the Lord. For I will let the land come back to its first condition, says the Lord.
12 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.
This is what the Lord of armies has said: Again there will be in this place, which is a waste, without man and without beast, and in all its towns, a resting-place where the keepers of sheep will make their flocks take rest.
13 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.
In the towns of the hill-country, in the towns of the lowland, and in the towns of the South and in the land of Benjamin and in the country round Jerusalem and in the towns of Judah, the flocks will again go under the hand of him who is numbering them, says the Lord.
14 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.
See, the days are coming, says the Lord, when I will give effect to the good word which I have said about the people of Israel and the people of Judah.
15 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.
In those days and at that time, I will let a Branch of righteousness come up for David; and he will be a judge in righteousness in the land.
16 En aquellos días Judá será salvado, y Jerusalén estará segura. Será llamada: Yavé, Justicia Nuestra.
In those days, Judah will have salvation and Jerusalem will be safe: and this is the name which will be given to her: The Lord is our righteousness.
17 Porque Yavé dice: No faltará a David un varón que se siente en el trono de la Casa de Israel.
For the Lord has said, David will never be without a man to take his place on the seat of the kingdom of Israel;
18 Ni a los sacerdotes y levitas faltará varón que ofrezca ofrenda quemada, ofrenda encendida y sacrificio delante de Mí, todos los días.
And the priests and the Levites will never be without a man to come before me, offering burned offerings and perfumes and meal offerings and offerings of beasts at all times.
19 Vino la Palabra de Yavé a Jeremías:
And the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah, saying,
20 Yavé dice: Si pueden anular mi Pacto con el día y la noche, de manera que no haya día ni noche a su tiempo,
The Lord has said: If it is possible for my agreement of the day and the night to be broken, so that day and night no longer come at their fixed times,
21 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.
Then my agreement with my servant David may be broken, so that he no longer has a son to take his place on the seat of the kingdom; and my agreement with the Levites, the priests, my servants.
22 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.
As it is not possible for the army of heaven to be numbered, or the sand of the sea measured, so will I make the seed of my servant David, and the Levites my servants.
23 Otra vez vino la Palabra de Yavé a Jeremías:
And the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah, saying,
24 ¿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.
Have you taken note of what these people have said, The two families, which the Lord took for himself, he has given up? This they say, looking down on my people as being, in their eyes, no longer a nation.
25 Yavé dice: Si no es cierto mi Pacto con el día y la noche, ni mis designios para el cielo y la tierra,
The Lord has said, If I have not made day and night, and if the limits of heaven and earth have not been fixed by me,
26 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.
Then I will give up caring for the seed of Jacob and of David my servant, so that I will not take of his seed to be rulers over the seed of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob: for I will let their fate be changed and will have mercy on them.
