Jeremías 30
1 Palabra que vino a Jeremías del SEÑOR, diciendo:
The word which came to Jeremiah from the Lord, saying,
2 Así habló el SEÑOR Dios de Israel, diciendo: Escríbete en un libro todas las palabras que te he hablado.
The Lord, the God of Israel, has said, Put down in a book all the words which I have said to you.
3 Porque he aquí que vienen días, dijo el SEÑOR, en que tornaré la cautividad de mi pueblo Israel y Judá, dijo el SEÑOR, y los haré volver a la tierra que di a sus padres, y la poseerán.
For see, the days are coming, says the Lord, when I will let the fate of my people Israel and Judah be changed, says the Lord: and I will make them come back to the land which I gave to their fathers, so that they may take it for their heritage.
4 Estas, pues, son las palabras que habló el SEÑOR acerca de Israel y de Judá.
And these are the words which the Lord said about Israel and about Judah.
5 Porque así dijo el SEÑOR: Hemos oído voz de temblor; espanto, y no paz.
This is what the Lord has said: A voice of shaking fear has come to our ears, of fear and not of peace.
6 Preguntad ahora, y mirad si da a luz el varón; porque he visto que todo hombre tenía las manos sobre sus lomos, como mujer de parto, y se han tornado pálidos todos los rostros.
Put the question and see if it is possible for a man to have birth-pains: why do I see every man with his hands gripping his sides, as a woman does when the pains of birth are on her, and all faces are turned green?
7 ¡Ah, cuán grande es aquel día! Tanto, que no hay otro semejante a él; y tiempo de angustia para Jacob; mas de ella será librado.
Ha! for that day is so great that there is no day like it: it is the time of Jacob's trouble: but he will get salvation from it.
8 Y será en aquel día, dice el SEÑOR de los ejércitos, que yo quebraré su yugo de tu cuello, y romperé tus coyundas, y extraños no lo volverán más a poner en servidumbre,
For it will come about on that day, says the Lord of armies, that his yoke will be broken off his neck, and his bands will be burst; and men of strange lands will no longer make use of him as their servant:
9 sino que servirán al SEÑOR su Dios, y a David su rey, el cual les levantaré.
But they will be servants to the Lord their God and to David their king, whom I will give back to them.
10 Tú, pues, siervo mío Jacob, no temas, dice el SEÑOR, ni te atemorices, Israel; porque he aquí que yo soy el que te salvo de lejos, y a tu simiente de la tierra de su cautividad; y Jacob tornará, y descansará y sosegará, y no habrá quien le espante.
So have no fear, O Jacob, my servant, says the Lord; and do not be troubled, O Israel: for see, I will make you come back from far away, and your seed from the land where they are prisoners; and Jacob will come back, and will be quiet and at peace, and no one will give him cause for fear.
11 Porque yo seré contigo, dice el SEÑOR, para salvarte: y haré consumación en todos los gentiles entre los cuales te esparcí; pero en ti no haré consumación, sino que te castigaré con juicio, y no te talaré del todo.
For I am with you, says the Lord, to be your saviour: for I will put an end to all the nations where I have sent you wandering, but I will not put an end to you completely: though with wise purpose I will put right your errors, and will not let you go quite without punishment.
12 Porque así dijo el SEÑOR: Desahuciado es tu quebrantamiento, y dificultosa tu llaga.
For the Lord has said, Your disease may not be made well and your wound is bitter.
13 No hay quien juzgue tu causa para salud; no hay para ti cura ni medicinas.
There is no help for your wound, there is nothing to make you well.
14 Todos tus enamorados te olvidaron; no te buscan; porque de herida de enemigo te herí, con azote de cruel, a causa de la muchedumbre de tu maldad, y de la multitud de tus pecados.
Your lovers have no more thought for you, they go after you no longer; for I have given you the wound of a hater, even cruel punishment;
15 ¿Por qué gritas a causa de tu quebrantamiento? Desahuciado es tu dolor; porque por la grandeza de tu iniquidad, y de tus muchos pecados te he hecho esto.
Why are you crying for help because of your wound? for your pain may never be taken away: because your evil-doing was so great and because your sins were increased, I have done these things to you.
16 Por tanto todos los que te consumen serán consumidos; y todos tus afligidores, todos irán en cautiverio; y los que te hollaron serán hollados, y a todos los que hicieron presa de ti daré en presa.
For this cause, all those who take you for their food will themselves become your food; and all your attackers, every one of them, will be taken prisoners; and those who send destruction on you will come to destruction; and all those who take away your goods by force will undergo the same themselves.
17 Porque yo haré venir sanidad para ti, y te sanaré de tus heridas, dijo el SEÑOR; porque Arrojada te llamaron, diciendo: Esta es Sion, a la que nadie busca.
For I will make you healthy again and I will make you well from your wounds, says the Lord; because they have given you the name of an outlaw, saying, It is Zion cared for by no man.
18 Así dijo el SEÑOR: He aquí yo hago tornar la cautividad de las tiendas de Jacob, y de sus moradas tendré misericordia; y la ciudad será edificada sobre su collado, y el Templo según su juicio estará.
The Lord has said, See, I am changing the fate of the tents of Jacob, and I will have pity on his houses; the town will be put up on its hill, and the great houses will be living-places again.
19 Y saldrá de ellos alabanza, y voz de gente que está en regocijo y los multiplicaré, y no serán disminuidos; los multiplicaré, y no serán menoscabados.
And from them will go out praise and the sound of laughing: and I will make them great in number, and they will not become less; and I will give them glory, and they will not be small.
20 Y serán sus hijos como de primero y su congregación delante de mí será confirmada; y visitaré a todos sus opresores.
And their children will be as they were in the old days, and the meeting of the people will have its place before me, and I will send punishment on all who are cruel to them.
21 Y de él será su Fuerte, y de en medio de él saldrá su Enseñoreador; y le haré llegar cerca, y se acercará a mí; porque ¿quién es aquel que ablandó su corazón para llegarse a mí? Dijo el SEÑOR.
And their chief will be of their number; their ruler will come from among themselves; and I will let him be present before me, so that he may come near to me: for who may have strength of heart to come near me? says the Lord.
22 Y me seréis por pueblo, y yo seré vuestro Dios.
And you will be my people, and I will be your God.
23 He aquí, la tempestad del SEÑOR sale con furor, la tempestad que se apareja; sobre la cabeza de los impíos reposará.
See, the storm-wind of the Lord, even the heat of his wrath, has gone out, a rolling storm, bursting on the heads of the evil-doers.
24 No se volverá la ira del enojo del SEÑOR, hasta que haya hecho y cumplido los pensamientos de su corazón; en el fin de los días entenderéis esto.
The wrath of the Lord will not be turned back till he has done, till he has put into effect, the purposes of his heart: in days to come you will have full knowledge of this.
