Jeremías 30
1 La palabra que vino a Jeremías de parte del Señor, diciendo:
Yahweh gave me another message. He said,
2 El Señor, el Dios de Israel, ha dicho: Escribe en un libro todas las palabras que te he dicho.
“[I], Yahweh, the God whom the Israeli people [say they belong to], am telling you that you should write down everything that I have said to you.
3 Porque vienen días, dice el Señor, cuando permitiré que se cambie el destino de mi pueblo, Israel y Judá, dice el Señor; y los haré regresar a la tierra que yo di a sus padres, para que lo tomen por su herencia.
[I want you to know that] some day I will free my people, [the people of] Israel and Judah, from being slaves [in Babylon]. I will bring them back to this land that I gave to their ancestors, and this land will belong to them again. [That will surely happen because] I, Yahweh, have said it.”
4 Y estas son las palabras que el Señor dijo acerca de Israel y acerca de Judá.
Yahweh gave [to me] another message concerning [the people of] Israel and Judah.
5 Esto es lo que el Señor ha dicho: Una voz de temor y espanto ha llegado a nuestros oídos, de miedo y no de paz.
This is what he said: “I hear people screaming because they are terrified [DOU]; there is no peace [in the land].
6 Hagan la pregunta y vean si es posible que un hombre tenga dolores de parto: ¿por qué veo a cada hombre con sus manos agarrando sus costados, como hace una mujer cuando los dolores de parto están sobre ella, ¿Las caras se les ponen pálidas a todos ellos?
But think about this: Men certainly do not [RHQ] give birth to babies. Therefore, why do strong men stand there, with their faces very white/pale, with their hands pressed against their stomachs, like women who are about to give birth to babies?
7 ¡Ah! porque ese día es tan grande que no hay un día así, es el momento de la angustia de Jacob; pero él obtendrá la salvación de ello.
[Terrible things will soon happen]; that will be a terrible day! There has never been such a time. It will be a time when [my] Israeli people will experience great trouble, but [finally] they will be saved [from their sufferings].”
8 Porque ese día sucederá, dice el Señor de los ejércitos, que su yugo se romperá de su cuello, y sus coyundas se romperán; y los hombres extranjeros ya no los usarán como su sirviente.
The Commander of the armies of angels says this: “At that time [it will be as though] I will sever/cut the ropes [that are around my people], and I will free them from being (slaves/forced to do what the King of Babylon wants them to do) [MET]. People in other countries will no longer be their bosses.
9 Pero ellos serán siervos del Señor su Dios y de su rey David, a quien yo levantaré para ellos.
My people will [again] serve me, Yahweh, their God, and [they will serve a king who is a descendant of] King David; [they will serve the king] whom I will appoint for them.
10 No temas, oh Jacob, mi siervo, dice el Señor; y no te preocupes, oh Israel; porque verás, haré que vuelvas de lejos, y tu descendencia de la tierra donde están prisioneros; y Jacob volverá, y estará tranquilo y en paz, y nadie le dará motivo de temor.
So, [you people of] Israel who serve me, do not be dismayed/worried [now], because [some day] I will bring you back from distant places; I will bring your descendants [back home] from the land to which they were exiled. [Then you] Israeli people will [again] live peacefully and safely, and there will not be any [nation] that will cause you to be terrified.
11 Porque yo estoy contigo, dice el Señor, para ser tu salvador, porque pondré fin a todas las naciones a donde te he enviado vagando, pero no te pondré fin completamente: aunque con sabiduría corregiré tus errores y no te dejaré ir sin castigo.
I, Yahweh, say that I will be with you and will rescue you; I will completely destroy the nations to which I have scattered you. But I will not completely destroy you. I will punish you [for your many sins], but I will punish you [only] as severely as you deserve: I would be doing wrong if I did not punish you at all.”
12 Porque el Señor ha dicho: Tu quebranto puede no curarse y tu herida es grave.
Yahweh [also] says this: “[You have (suffered very much/endured many disasters)]; [it is as though] you have a terrible wound that cannot be cured.
13 No hay ayuda para tu herida, no hay nada que te haga sentir bien.
There is no one to help you, no one to put a bandage on your wound. There is no [medicine that will] heal you.
14 Tus amantes ya no piensan en ti, ya no te persiguen más; porque te he dado la herida de un aborrecedor, porque la multitud de tu iniquidad y tu pecado aumento,
All your allies [MET] have deserted you and they do not want to help you [any more]. [It is true that] I have punished you severely, [like your] enemies would wound you, because you have committed many sins and you are very guilty.
15 ¿Por qué clamas por ayuda debido a tu herida? porque tu dolor nunca puede ser quitado; porque tu maldad fue tan grande y porque tus pecados fueron aumentados, te he hecho estas cosas.
[Because that is true], why do you protest about my punishing you, [as though I had caused] a wound that could not be cured [RHQ]? It was necessary for me to punish you, because you had committed many sins and you were very guilty.
16 Por esta causa, todo él que te devore, será devorado; y todos tus atacantes, cada uno de ellos, serán tomados prisioneros; y los que envíen destrucción a ti serán destruidos; y todos aquellos que se lleven tus bienes por la fuerza sufrirán lo mismo ellos mismos.
But [some day] all those who [are trying to] destroy you will be destroyed; all your enemies will be exiled [to other nations]. All those who have stolen things from you will have their [valuable] possessions stolen, and all those who attack you will be attacked.
17 Porque yo te haré saludable de nuevo y te sanaré de tus heridas, dice el Señor; porque te han dado el nombre de una desechada, diciendo: se trata de Zion nadie se preocupa por ella.
[Everyone] says that you are (outcasts/people that they no longer associate with), and that [you live in] Jerusalem, a city that no one cares about.” But Yahweh says, “I will heal your injuries/wounds and cause you to be healthy again.”
18 El Señor ha dicho: Mira, estoy cambiando el destino de las tiendas de Jacob, y tendré compasión de sus casas; La ciudad se levantará en su colina y él palacio permanecerá en su forma.
This is what Yahweh says: “I will bring the people of Israel back from the lands to which they were taken and enable them to possess their land and their houses again. [When that happens], Jerusalem will be rebuilt on top of its ruins, and the [king’s] palace will be rebuilt to be like it was before.
19 Y de ellos saldrán alabanzas y la voz del que se regocija, no disminuirán, pero los multiplicaré; Y les daré gloria, y no serán menospreciados.
People will [again] sing joyfully to thank [me], and I will cause there to be more people [in Jerusalem], not fewer; I will cause them to be honored, not despised.
20 Y sus hijos serán como eran en los viejos tiempos, y la reunión de la gente tendrá su lugar delante de mí, y enviaré castigo a todos los que los oprimen.
Their children will [prosper] like they did before. I will cause them to be a group of people [who worship] me, and I will punish any [nation] that oppresses them.
21 Y su jefe será de su número; su gobernante vendrá de entre ellos; y lo dejaré estar presente delante de mí, para que pueda acercarse a mí, porque ¿quién tendrá fuerza de corazón para acercarse a mí? dice el Señor.
One of their own people will be their king, and I will invite him to come close to me [to worship me], because no one [RHQ] would (dare/have courage) to come close to me [if I did not invite him].
22 Y tú serás mi pueblo, y yo seré tu Dios.
You [Israeli people] will be my people, and I will be your God.”
23 Mira, el viento de la tormenta del Señor, una tormenta giratoria, que estalla en las cabezas de los malhechores.
Yahweh will punish [MTY] [your enemies]; [it will be like a great] storm; it will come down [like] a whirlwind, swirling around the heads of wicked people.
24 La ira del Señor no cesará hasta que lo haya hecho, hasta que haya puesto en práctica los propósitos de su corazón: en los días venideros tendrás pleno conocimiento de esto.
He will not stop being angry until he completely accomplishes [all] that he has planned. In the future, you will understand [all] of this [clearly].
