Jeremías 34

1 Palabra que fue a Jeremías de Jehová, (cuando Nabucodonosor, rey de Babilonia, y todo su ejército, y todos los reinos de la tierra del señorío de su mano, y todos los pueblos, peleaban contra Jerusalem, y contra todas sus ciudades, ) diciendo.

The word which came unto Jeremiah from the Lord, when Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, and all his army, and all the kingdoms of the country ruled by his power, and all the people, fought against Jerusalem, and against all its cities, saying,

2 Así dijo Jehová Dios de Israel: Vé, y habla, a Sedecías, rey de Judá, y díle: Así dijo Jehová: He aquí que yo entrego esta ciudad en mano del rey de Babilonia, y encenderla ha a fuego.

Thus hath said the Lord, the God of Israel, Go and speak to Zedekiah the king of Judah, and say to him, Thus hath said the Lord, Behold, I will give up this city into the hand of the king of Babylon, that he may burn it with fire:

3 Y tú no escaparás de su mano, mas de cierto serás preso, y en su mano serás entregado, y tus ojos verán los ojos del rey de Babilonia, y su boca hablará a tu boca, y en Babilonia entrarás.

And thou thyself shalt not escape out of his hand; but thou shalt surely be caught, and be delivered into his hand; and thy eyes shall see the eyes of the king of Babylon, and his mouth shall speak with thy mouth, and to Babylon shalt thou go.

4 Con todo eso oye palabra de Jehová, Sedecías, rey de Judá: Así dijo Jehová de ti: No morirás a cuchillo:

Yet hear the word of the Lord, O Zedekiah king of Judah, Thus hath said the Lord respecting thee, Thou shalt not die by the sword:

5 En paz morirás, y conforme las quemas de tus padres, los reyes primeros, que fueron antes de ti, así quemarán por ti, y ¡Ay Señor! te endecharán; porque yo hablé palabra, dijo Jehová.

In peace shalt thou die; and as burnings were made for thy fathers, the former kings who were before thee, so shall they make burnings for thee; and “Ah lord” shall they lament for thee; for I have spoken the word, saith the Lord.

6 Y habló Jeremías profeta a Sedecías, rey de Judá, todas estas palabras en Jerusalem.

And Jeremiah the prophet spoke unto Zedekiah the king of Judah all these words in Jerusalem,

7 Y el ejército del rey de Babilonia peleaba contra Jerusalem, y contra todas las ciudades de Judá que habían quedado, contra Laquis, y contra Azeca; porque de las ciudades fuertes de Judá estas habían quedado.

When the army of the king of Babylon was fighting against Jerusalem, and against all the cities of Judah that were left, against Lachish, and against 'Azekah; for these had been left of the cities of Judah as fortified cities.

8 Palabra que fue a Jeremías de Jehová, después que Sedecías hizo concierto con todo el pueblo en Jerusalem, para denunciarles libertad:

The word which came unto Jeremiah from the Lord, after king Zedekiah had made a covenant with all the people who were at Jerusalem, to proclaim among themselves freedom;

9 Que cada uno dejase su siervo, y cada uno su sierva, Hebreo y Hebrea, libres, que ninguno usase de los Judíos sus hermanos como de siervos.

That every man should dismiss his man-servant, and every man his maid-servant, being a Hebrew man or a Hebrew woman, free; so that no man among them should exact labor of a Jew, his brother.

10 Y oyeron todos los príncipes, y todo el pueblo, que habían venido en el concierto, para dejar cada uno su siervo, y cada uno su sierva libres, que ninguno usase más de ellos como de siervos: oyeron, y dejáronlos.

And all the princes had hearkened, with all the people, who had entered into the covenant, that every one should dismiss his man-servant, and every one his maid-servant, free, that no one should exact labor of them any more: and they had obeyed, and dismissed them.

11 Mas después se arrepintieron, y tornaron los siervos y las siervas que habían dejado libres, y sujetáronlos por siervos y por siervas.

But they had turned afterward, and they had brought back the men-servants and the maid-servants whom they had dismissed as free, and had subjected them to become men-servants and maid-servants.

12 Y fue palabra de Jehová a Jeremías de por Jehová, diciendo:

And the word of the Lord [then] came to Jeremiah from the Lord, saying,

13 Así dice Jehová Dios de Israel: Yo hice concierto con vuestros padres el día que los saqué de tierra de Egipto, de casa de siervos, diciendo:

Thus hath said the Lord, the God of Israel, —I myself made a covenant with your fathers on the day that I brought them forth out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondmen, saying,

14 Al cabo de siete años dejaréis cada uno su hermano Hebreo, que te fuere vendido; y servirte ha seis años, y enviarle has de ti libre; y vuestros padres no me oyeron, ni abajaron su oreja.

At the end of seven years shall ye dismiss every man his brother the Hebrew, who may have been sold unto thee; and when he hath served thee six years, then shalt thou dismiss him from thee; but your fathers hearkened not unto me, and inclined not their ear.

15 Y os habíais convertido hoy, y habíais hecho lo recto delante de mis ojos, pregonando cada uno libertad a su prójimo, y habíais hecho concierto en mi presencia, en la casa sobre la cual es llamado mi nombre.

And ye had turned this day, and done what is right in my eyes, to proclaim freedom every man to his neighbor; and ye had made a covenant before me in the house over which my name is called;

16 Y os tornasteis, y contaminasteis mi nombre, y tornasteis a tomar cada uno su siervo, y cada uno su sierva, que habíais dejado libres a su voluntad; y los sujetasteis para que os sean siervos, y siervas.

But ye have turned again, and profaned my name, and ye have brought back every man his man-servant, and every man his woman-servant, whom ye had dismissed as free at their pleasure, and have subjected them to be unto you for men-servants and for women-servants.

17 Por tanto así dijo Jehová: Vosotros no me oísteis a mí, para que pregonaseis libertad cada uno a su hermano, y cada uno a su compañero: he aquí que yo os pregono libertad, dijo Jehová, a espada, y a pestilencia, y a hambre; y poneros he por espanto a todos los reinos de la tierra.

Therefore thus hath said the Lord, Ye indeed have not hearkened unto me, to proclaim freedom, every one to his brother, and every one to his neighbor: behold, I proclaim a freedom over you, saith the Lord, to the sword, to the pestilence, and to the famine; and I will make you a horror unto all the kingdoms of the earth.

18 Y entregaré a los hombres que traspasaron mi concierto, que no hicieron firmes las palabras del concierto que celebraron en mi presencia, con el becerro que partieron en dos partes, y pasaron por medio de sus partes;

And I will give up the men that have transgressed my covenant, who have not fulfilled the words of the covenant which they had made before me, at the calf which they cut in twain, and between the parts whereof they passed,

19 A los príncipes de Judá, y a los príncipes de Jerusalem, a los de palacio, y a los sacerdotes, y a todo el pueblo de la tierra, que pasaron entre las partes del becerro:

The princes of Judah, and the princes of Jerusalem, the court-servants, and the priests, and all the people of the land, who have passed between the parts of the calf;

20 Entregarlos he en mano de sus enemigos, y en mano de los que buscan su alma; y sus cuerpos muertos serán para comida de las aves del cielo, y de las bestias de la tierra.

[Yea] I will give them up into the hand of their enemies, and into the hand of those that seek their life; and their dead bodies shall become food unto the fowls of the heavens, and to the beasts of the earth.

21 Y a Sedecías, rey de Judá, y a sus príncipes, entregaré en mano de sus enemigos, y en mano de los que buscan su alma, y en mano del ejército del rey de Babilonia, que se fueron de vosotros.

And Zedekiah the king of Judah and his princes will I give up into the hand of their enemies, and into the hand of those that seek their life, and into the hand of the army of the king of Babylon, that are [now] gone away from you.

22 He aquí que yo mando, dijo Jehová, y hacerlos he volver a esta ciudad, y pelearán contra ella, y tomarla han, y encenderla han a fuego; y daré las ciudades de Judá en soledad, hasta no quedar morador.

Behold, I will command, speaketh the Lord, and I will bring them back to this city; and they shall fight against it, and capture it, and burn it with fire: and the cities of Judah will I make a desert without an inhabitant.
