Jeremías 17

BIBLIA	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 El pecado de Judá está escrito con buril de hierro; con punta de diamante está grabado sobre la tabla de su corazón y en los cuernos de sus aras,	1 “The sin of Judah has been written with a pen of iron and a point of diamond. It has been engraved upon the breadth of their heart and upon the horns of their shrines.
2 así, recordarán sus hijos sus aras y sus cipos cabe los árboles frondosos, sobre los oteros altos,	2 And their sons make a remembrance of their shrines, and their sacred groves, and their leafy trees on high mountains,
3 mi monte, en la campiña. Tu haber y todos tus tesoros al pillaje voy a dar, en pago por todos tus pecados de los altos, en todas tus fronteras.	3 by sacrificing in the field. And so, I will give over your strength and all your treasures to be despoiled, along with your exalted places of sin, within all your borders.
4 Tendrás que deshacerte de tu heredad que yo te di, y te haré esclavo de tus enemigos en un país que no conoces, porque un fuego ha saltado en mi ira que para siempre estará encendido.	4 And you will be left behind without your inheritance, which I gave to you. And I will cause you to serve your enemies in a land that you do not know. For you have kindled a fire in my fury; it shall burn, even unto eternity.”
5 Así dice Yahveh: Maldito sea aquel que fía en hombre, y hace de la carne su apoyo, y de Yahveh se aparta en su corazón.	5 Thus says the Lord: “Cursed is a man who trusts in man, and who establishes what is flesh as his right arm, and whose heart withdraws from the Lord.
6 Pues es como el tamarisco en la Arabá, y no verá el bien cuando viniere. Vive en los sitios quemados del desierto, en saladar inhabitable.	6 For he will be like a saltcedar tree in the desert. And he will not perceive it, when what is good has arrived. Instead, he will live in dryness, in a desert, in a land of salt, which is uninhabitable.
7 Bendito sea aquel que fía en Yahveh, pues no defraudará Yahveh su confianza.	7 Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, for the Lord will be his confidence.
8 Es como árbol plantado a las orillas del agua, que a la orilla de la corriente echa sus raíces. No temerá cuando viene el calor, y estará su follaje frondoso; en año de sequía no se inquieta ni se retrae de dar fruto.	8 And he will be like a tree planted beside waters, which sends out its roots to moist soil. And it will not fear when the heat arrives. And its leaves will be green. And in the time of drought, it will not be anxious, nor will it cease at any time to bear fruit.
9 El corazón es lo más retorcido; no tiene arreglo: ¿quién lo conoce?	9 The heart is depraved above all things, and it is unsearchable, who can know it?
10 Yo, Yahveh, exploro el corazón, pruebo los riñones, para dar a cada cual según su camino, según el fruto de sus obras.	10 I am the Lord, who examines the heart and tests the temperament, who gives to each one according to his way and according to the fruit of his own decisions.
11 La perdiz incuba lo que no ha puesto; así es el que hace dinero, mas no con justicia: en mitad de sus días lo ha de dejar y a la postre resultará un necio.	11 A partridge has hatched eggs that she did not lay; a man has gathered riches, but without judgment. In the midst of his days, he will leave it all behind, and he will be foolish concerning his very end.”
12 Solio de Gloria, excelso desde el principio, es el lugar de nuestro santuario...	12 “A high and glorious throne is the place of our sanctification from the beginning.
13 Esperanza de Israel, Yahveh: todos los que te abandonan serán avergonzados, y los que se apartan de ti, en la tierra serán escritos, por haber abandonado el manantial de aguas vivas, Yahveh.	13 O Lord, Hope of Israel: all who forsake you will be confounded. Those who withdraw from you will be written into the earth. For they have abandoned the Lord, the Source of living waters.
14 Cúrame, Yahveh, y sea yo curado; sálvame, y sea yo salvo, pues mi prez eres tú.	14 Heal me, O Lord, and I will be healed. Save me, and I will be saved. For you are my praise.
15 Mira que ellos me dicen: «¿Dónde está la palabra de Yahveh? ¡vamos, que venga!»	15 Behold, they themselves are saying to me: ‘Where is the word of the Lord? Let it come.’
16 Yo nunca te apremié a hacer daño; el día irremediable no he anhelado; tú lo sabes: lo salido de mis labios enfrente de tu faz ha estado.	16 But I am not troubled; I am following you as my shepherd. And I have not desired the day of man, as you know. That which has gone forth from my lips has been right in your sight.
17 No seas para mí espanto, ¡oh tú, mi amparo en el día aciago!	17 May you not be a dread to me. You are my hope in the day of affliction.
18 Avergüéncense mis perseguidores, y no me avergüence yo; espántense ellos, y no me espante yo. Trae sobre ellos el día aciago, y con doble quebrantamiento quebrántalos.	18 May those who persecute me be confounded, but may I not be confounded. May they be fearful, and may I not be fearful. Lead over them the day of affliction, and crush them with a double destruction.”
19 Yahveh me dijo así: Ve y te paras a la puerta de los Hijos del pueblo, por la que entran los reyes de Judá y por la que salen, y asimismo en todas las puertas de Jerusalén,	19 Thus says the Lord to me: “Go, and stand at the gate of the sons of the people, through which the kings of Judah enter and depart, and at all the gates of Jerusalem.
20 y les dices: Oíd la palabra de Yahveh, reyes de Judá, y todo Judá y los habitantes de Jerusalén que entráis por estas puertas.	20 And you shall say to them: Listen to the word of the Lord, O kings of Judah, and all of Judah, and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, who enter through these gates.”
21 Así dice Yahveh: «Guardaos, por vida vuestra, de llevar carga en día de sábado y meterla por las puertas de Jerusalén.	21 Thus says the Lord: “Guard your souls, and do not choose to carry heavy things on the day of the Sabbath, nor should you carry these things through the gates of Jerusalem.
22 No saquéis tampoco carga de vuestras casas en sábado, ni hagáis trabajo alguno, antes bien santificad el sábado como mandé a vuestros padres.	22 And do not be willing to cast burdens out of your houses on the day of the Sabbath, nor should you do any work. Sanctify the day of the Sabbath, just as I instructed your fathers.
23 Mas no oyeron ni aplicaron el oído, sino que atiesaron su cerviz sin oír ni aprender.	23 But they did not listen, nor did they incline their ear. Instead, they hardened their neck, lest they listen to me and receive discipline.
24 Que si me hacéis caso - oráculo de Yahveh - no metiendo carga por las puertas de esta ciudad en sábado y santificando el día de sábado sin realizar en él trabajo alguno,	24 And this shall be: If you listen to me, says the Lord, so that you do not carry in burdens through the gates of this city on the day of the Sabbath, and if you sanctify the day of the Sabbath, so that you do not do work in it,
25 entonces entrarán por las puertas de esta ciudad reyes que se sienten sobre el trono de David, montados en carros y caballos, ellos y sus oficiales, la gente de Judá y los habitantes de Jerusalén. Y durará esta ciudad para siempre.	25 then there will enter through the gates of this city: kings and princes, sitting on the throne of David, and riding on chariots and horses, they and their princes, the men of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem. And this city will be inhabited forever.
26 Y vendrán de las ciudades de Judá, de los aledaños de Jerusalén, del país de Benjamín, de la Tierra Baja, de la Sierra y del Négueb a traer holocaustos, sacrificios, oblaciones e incienso y a traer ofrendas de acción de gracias a la Casa de Yahveh.	26 And they will arrive from the cities of Judah and from all around Jerusalem, and from the land of Benjamin, and from the plains, and from the mountainous regions, and from the south, carrying holocausts, and victims, and sacrifices, and frankincense. And they will carry an oblation into the house of the Lord.
27 Pero si no me oyereis en cuanto a santificar el sábado y no llevar carga ni meterla por las puertas de Jerusalén en sábado, entonces prenderé fuego a sus puertas, que consumirá los palacios de Jerusalén, y no se apagará.	27 But if you will not listen to me, to sanctify the day of the Sabbath, and not to carry burdens, and not to bring these things through the gates of Jerusalem on the day of the Sabbath, then I will kindle a fire at its gates, and it will devour the houses of Jerusalem, and it will not be extinguished.”
