Jeremías 11

BIBLIA	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 Palabra que llegó de parte de Yahveh a Jeremías:	1 The word that came from the Lord to Jeremiah, saying:
2 Oíd los términos de esta alianza y hablad a los hombres de Judá y a los habitantes de Jerusalén,	2 “Listen to the words of this covenant, and speak to the men of Judah and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
3 y diles: Así dice Yahveh, el Dios de Israel: Maldito el varón que no escuche los términos de esta alianza	3 And you shall say to them: Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel: Cursed is the man who will not listen to the words of this covenant,
4 que mandé a vuestros padres el día que los saqué de Egipto, del crisol de hierro, diciéndoles: «Oíd mi voz y obrad conforme a lo que os he mandado; y así seréis mi pueblo, y yo seré vuestro Dios,	4 which I commanded to your fathers in the day when I led them away from the land of Egypt, away from the iron furnace, saying: Listen to my voice, and do all that I command you, and then you will be my people and I will be your God.
5 en orden a cumplir el juramento que hice a vuestros padres, de darles una tierra que mana leche y miel - como se cumple hoy». Respondí y dije: ¡Amén, Yahveh!	5 So shall I uphold the oath which I swore to your fathers, that I would give them a land flowing with milk and honey, just as it is this day.” And I answered by saying: “Amen, O Lord.”
6 Y me dijo Yahveh: Pregona todas estas palabras por las ciudades de Judá y por las calles de Jerusalén: «Oíd los términos de esta alianza y cumplidlos:	6 And the Lord said to me: “Shout all these words in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem, saying: Listen to the words of the covenant, and do them.
7 que bien advertí a vuestros padres el día que les hice subir de Egipto, y hasta la fecha he insistido en advertírselo: ¡Oíd mi voz!	7 For when testing, I tested your fathers in the day when I led them away from the land of Egypt, even until this day. Rising early, I tested them, and I said: Listen to my voice.
8 Mas no oyeron ni aplicaron el oído, sino que cada cual procedió según la terquedad de su corazón malo. Y así he aplicado contra ellos todos los términos de dicha alianza que les mandé cumplir y no lo hicieron».	8 But they did not listen, nor did they incline their ear. Instead, each one of them walked in the depravity of his own evil heart. And so, I brought over them all the words of this covenant, which I instructed them to do. But they would not do them.”
9 Y me dijo Yahveh: Se ha descubierto una conjura entre los hombres de Judá y entre los habitantes de Jerusalén.	9 And the Lord said to me: “A conspiracy has been found among the men of Judah and among the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
10 Han reincidido en las culpas de sus mayores, que rehusaron escuchar mis palabras: se han ido en pos de otros dioses para servirles; han violado la casa de Israel y la casa de Judá mi alianza, que pacté con sus padres.	10 They have returned to the former iniquities of their fathers, who refused to listen to my words. And likewise, they have gone after strange gods, so that they may serve them. The house of Israel and the house of Judah have treated as void my covenant, which I made with their fathers.
11 Por ende, así dice Yahveh: He aquí que yo les traigo una desgracia a la que no podrán hurtarse; y aunque se me quejaren, no les oiré.	11 For this reason, thus says the Lord: Behold, I will lead evils over them, from which they will not be able to escape. And they will cry out to me, and I will not heed them.
12 ¡Que vayan las ciudades de Judá y los moradores de Jerusalén, y que se quejen a los dioses a quienes inciensan!, que lo que es salvarles, no les salvarán al tiempo de su desgracia.	12 And the cities of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem will go forth, and they will cry out to the gods, to whom they offer libations, and they will not save them in the time of their affliction.
13 Pues cuantas son tus ciudades, otros tantos son tus dioses, Judá; y cuantas calles cuenta Jerusalén, otros tantos altares a la Vergüenza, otros tantos altares hay de Baal.	13 For according to the number of your cities, so were your gods, O Judah. And according to the number of the streets of Jerusalem, so did you establish altars of confusion, altars to offer libations to Baal.
14 En cuanto a ti, no pidas por este pueblo, ni eleves por ellos plegaria ni oración, porque no he de oír cuando clamen a mí por su desgracia.	14 Therefore, you should not choose to pray for this people, and you should not take up praise and petitioning on their behalf. For I will not heed them in the time of their outcry to me, in the time of their affliction.
15 ¿Qué hace mi amada en mi Casa?; su obrar ¿no es pura doblez? ¿Es que los votos y la carne consagrada harán pasar de ti tu desgracia? Entonces sí que te regocijarías.	15 Why has my beloved wrought great wickedness in my house? How can the holy flesh take away from you your wickedness, in which you have gloried?
16 «Olivo frondoso, lozano, de fruto hermoso» te había puesto Yahveh por nombre. Pero con gran estrépito le ha prendido fuego, y se han quemado sus guías.	16 The Lord has called your name: a beautiful, fruitful, splendid, and productive olive tree. At the voice of a word, a great fire was kindled in it, and its greenery was burned up.
17 Yahveh Sebaot, que te plantó, te ha sentenciado, dada la maldad que ha cometido la casa de Israel y la casa de Judá, exasperándome por incensar a Baal.	17 And the Lord of hosts, who planted you, has pronounced an evil against you, concerning the evils of the house of Israel and the house of Judah, which they have done to themselves so as to provoke me, by offering libations to Baal.”
18 Yahveh me lo hizo saber, y me enteré de ello. Entonces me descubriste, Yahveh, sus maquinaciones.	18 But you, O Lord, have revealed this to me, and I have understood. Then you displayed their efforts to me.
19 Y yo que estaba como cordero manso llevado al matadero, sin saber que contra mí tramaban maquinaciones: «Destruyamos el árbol en su vigor; borrémoslo de la tierra de los vivos, y su nombre no vuelva a mentarse».	19 And I was like a meek lamb, who is being carried to be a victim. And I did not realize that they had devised plans against me, saying: “Let us place wood upon his bread, and let us eradicate him from the land of the living, and let his name no longer be remembered.”
20 ¡Oh Yahveh Sebaot, juez de lo justo, que escrutas los riñones y el corazón!, vea yo tu venganza contra ellos, porque a ti he manifestado mi causa.	20 But you, O Lord of hosts, who judges justly, and who tests the temperament and the heart, let me see your vengeance against them. For I have revealed my case to you.
21 Y en efecto, así dice Yahveh tocante a los de Anatot, que buscan mi muerte diciendo: «No profetices en nombre de Yahveh, y no morirás a nuestras manos».	21 “Because of this, thus says the Lord to the men of Anathoth, who are seeking your life, and who are saying: ‘You shall not prophesy in the name of the Lord, and you shall not die by our hands.’
22 Por eso así dice Yahveh Sebaot: He aquí que yo les voy a visitar. Sus mancebos morirán por la espada, sus hijos e hijas morirán de hambre,	22 Because of this, thus says the Lord of hosts: Behold, I will visit upon them. Their young men will die by the sword. Their sons and their daughters will die by famine.
23 y no quedará de ellos ni reliquia cuando yo traiga la desgracia a los de Anatot, el año en que sean visitados.	23 And there will be nothing left of them. For I will lead an evil over the men of Anathoth: the year of their visitation.”
