Jeremías 43
1 Y sucedió que cuando Jeremías llegó al final de dar a todas las personas las palabras del Señor su Dios, que el Señor su Dios le había enviado para decirles todas estas palabras.
IN THE FOURTH YEAR OF JOAKIM son of Josias king of Juda, the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
2 Entonces Azarías, el hijo de Osaias, y Johanán, el hijo de Carea, y todos los hombres soberbios, le dijeron a Jeremías: Tú has dicho lo que es falso, el Señor nuestro Dios no te ha enviado para que digas: No vayas a la tierra de Egipto y vivas allí.
Take you a roll of a book, and write upon it all the words which I spoke to you against Jerusalem, and against Juda, and against all the nations, from the day when I spoke to you, from the days of Josias king of Juda, even to this day.
3 Pero Baruc, el hijo de Nerías, te está moviendo contra nosotros, para que nos entreguemos en manos de los caldeos para que nos maten y nos lleven prisioneros a Babilonia.
Perhaps the house of Juda will hear all the evils which I purpose to do to them; that they may turn from their evil way; and [so] I will be merciful to their iniquities and their sins.
4 Así que Johanán, el hijo de Carea, y todos los capitanes de las fuerzas, y todo el pueblo, no escucharon la orden del Señor de que debían seguir viviendo en la tierra de Judá.
So Jeremias called Baruch the son of Nerias: and he wrote from the mouth of Jeremias all the words of the Lord, which he had spoken to him, on a roll of a book.
5 Pero Johanán, el hijo de Carea, y todos los capitanes de las fuerzas se llevaron a todos los demás judíos que habían regresado a la tierra de Judá de todas las naciones a las que se habían visto obligados a ir;
And Jeremias commanded Baruch, saying, I am in prison; I can’t enter into the house of the Lord:
6 Los hombres y las mujeres y los hijos y las hijas del rey, y toda persona a la que Nabuzaradán, el capitán de la guardia, había puesto bajo el cuidado de Gedalías, el hijo de Ahicam, el hijo de Safán y al profeta Jeremías el profeta y Baruc, hijo de Nerías;
so you shall read in this roll in the ears of the people in the house of the Lord, on the fast day; and in the ears of all Juda that come out of their cities, you shall read to them.
7 Y vinieron a la tierra de Egipto; porque no escucharon la voz del Señor, y vinieron Tafnes.
Peradventure their supplication will come before the Lord, and they will turn from their evil way: for great is the wrath and the anger of the Lord, which he has pronounced against this people.
8 Entonces la palabra del Señor vino a Jeremías en Tafnes, diciendo:
And Baruch did according to all that Jeremias commanded him—reading in the book the words of the Lord in the Lord's house.
9 Toma en tu mano algunas piedras grandes y, entiérralas en la mezcla del camino enladrillado a la casa de Faraón en Tafnes, ante los ojos de los hombres de Judá;
And it came to pass in the eighth year of king Joakim, in the ninth month, all the people in Jerusalem, and the house of Juda, proclaimed a fast before the Lord.
10 Y diles: Esto es lo que ha dicho el Señor de los ejércitos, el Dios de Israel: Mira, enviaré y tomaré a Nabucodonosor, el rey de Babilonia, mi siervo, y él pondré el trono de su reino sobre estas piedras que han sido guardadas aquí por ti; y su tienda se extenderá sobre ellos.
And Baruch read in the book the words of Jeremias in the house of the Lord, in the house of Gamarias son of Saphan the scribe, in the upper court, in the entrance of the new gate of the house of the Lord, and in the ears of all the people.
11 Y él vendrá y vencerá la tierra de Egipto; Los que están para la muerte serán condenados a la muerte, los que van a ser prisioneros serán hechos prisioneros, y los que están para la espada serán entregados a la espada.
And Michaeas the son of Gamarias the son of Saphan heard all the words of the Lord, out of the book.
12 Y pondrá fuego en las casas de los dioses de Egipto; y serán quemados por él; y él se vestirá de la tierra de Egipto como un pastor se envuelve con su capa; y saldrá de allí en paz.
And he went down to the king's house, into the house of the scribe: and, behold, there were sitting there all the princes, Elisama the scribe, and Dalaeas the son of Selemias, and Jonathan the son of Acchobor, and Gamarias the son of Saphan, and Sedekias the son of Ananias, and all the princes.
13 Y los pilares de piedra de Bet-semes en la tierra de Egipto serán destruidos por él, y las casas de los dioses de Egipto serán quemadas con fuego.
And Michaeas reported to them all the words which he had heard Baruch reading in the ears of the people.
And all the princes sent to Baruch son of Nerias Judin the son of Nathanias, the son of Selemias, the son of Chusi, saying, Take in your hand the roll in which you read in the ears of the people, and come. So Baruch took the roll, and went down to them.
And they said to him, Read [it] again in our ears. And Baruch read [it].
And it came to pass, when they [had] heard all the words, [that] they took counsel each with his neighbor, and said, Let us by all means tell the king all these words.
And they asked Baruch, saying, Where did you write all these words?
And Baruch said, Jeremias told me from his [own] mouth all these words, and I wrote them in a book.
And they said to Baruch, Go, and hide, you and Jeremias; let no man know where you [are].
And they went in to the king into the court, and gave the roll [to one] to keep in the house of Elisama; and they told the king all these words.
And the king sent Judin to fetch the roll: and he took it out of the house of Elisama: and Judin read in the ears of the king, and in the ears of all the princes who stood round the king.
Now the king was sitting in the winter house: and [there was] a fire on the hearth before him.
And it came to pass when Judin had read three or four leaves, he cut them off with a penknife, and cast [them] into the fire that was on the hearth, until the whole roll was consumed in the fire that was on the hearth.
And the king and his servants that heard all these words sought not [the Lord], and tore not their garments.
But Elnathan and Godolias suggested to the king that he should burn the roll.
And the king commanded Jeremeel the king's son, and Saraeas the son of Esriel, to take Baruch and Jeremias: but they were hidden.
Then the word of the Lord came to Jeremias, after the king had burnt the roll, [even] all the words which Baruch wrote from the mouth of Jeremias, saying,
Again take you another roll, and write all the words that were on the roll, which king Joakim has burnt.
And you shall say, Thus says the Lord; You have burnt this roll, saying, Why have you written therein, saying, The king of Babylon shall certainly come in, and destroy this land, and man and cattle shall fail from off it?
Therefore thus says the Lord concerning Joakim king of Juda; He shall not have [a man] to sit on the throne of David: and his carcass shall be cast forth in the heat by day, and in the frost by night.
And I will visit him, and his family, and his servants: and I will bring upon him, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and upon the land of Juda, all the evils which I spoke of to them; and they listened not.
And Baruch took another roll, and wrote upon it from the mouth of Jeremias all the words of the book which Joakim had burnt: and there were yet more words added to it like the former.
