Jeremías 20

BIBLIA	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 El sacerdote Pasjur, hijo de Immer, que era inspector jefe de la Casa de Yahveh, oyó a Jeremías profetizar dichas palabras.	1 And Pashhur, the son of Immer, the priest who had been appointed leader in the house of the Lord, heard Jeremiah prophesying these words.
2 Pasjur hizo dar una paliza al profeta Jeremías y le hizo meter en el calabozo de la Puerta Alta de Benjamín - la que está en la Casa de Yahveh -.	2 And Pashhur struck the prophet Jeremiah, and he sent him to the stocks, which were at the upper gate of Benjamin at the house of the Lord.
3 Al día siguiente sacó Pasjur a Jeremías del calabozo. Díjole Jeremías: No es Pasjur el nombre que te ha puesto Yahveh, sino «Terror en torno».	3 And when it had become light on the next day, Pashhur led Jeremiah from the stocks. And Jeremiah said to him: “The Lord has not called your name: ‘Pashhur,’ but instead: ‘Fear all around.’ ”
4 Porque así dice Yahveh: «He aquí que yo te convierto en terror para ti mismo y para todos tus allegados, los cuales caerán por la espada de sus enemigos, y tus ojos lo estarán viendo. Y asimismo a todo Judá entregaré en manos del rey de Babilonia, que los deportará a Babilonia y los acuchillará.	4 For thus says the Lord: “Behold, I will give you over to fear, you and all your friends, and they will fall by the sword of their enemies, and your eyes will see it. And I will give all of Judah into the hand of the king of Babylon. And he will lead them away to Babylon, and he will strike them with the sword.
5 Y entregaré todas las reservas de esta ciudad y todo lo atesorado, todas sus preciosidades y todos los tesoros de los reyes de Judá, en manos de sus enemigos que los pillarán, los tomarán y se los llevarán a Babilonia.	5 And I will give away the entire substance of this city, and all its labor, and every precious thing. And I will give all the treasures of the kings of Judah into the hands of their enemies. And they will plunder them, and take them away, and lead them into Babylon.
6 En cuanto a ti, Pasjur, y todos los moradores de tu casa, iréis al cautiverio. En Babilonia entrarás, allí morirás y allí mismo serás sepultado tú y todos tus allegados a quienes has profetizado en falso».	6 But you, Pashhur, and all the inhabitants of your house, will go into captivity. And you will go to Babylon. And there you shall die. And there you shall be buried, you and all your friends, to whom you have prophesied a lie.”
7 Me has seducido, Yahveh, y me dejé seducir; me has agarrado y me has podido. He sido la irrisión cotidiana: todos me remedaban.	7 “You have led me away, O Lord, and I have been led away. You have been stronger than I, and you have prevailed. I have become a derision all day long; everyone mocks me.
8 Pues cada vez que hablo es para clamar: «¡Atropello!», y para gritar: «¡Expolio!». La palabra de Yahveh ha sido para mí oprobio y befa cotidiana.	8 For I speak now as I have long spoken: crying out against iniquity and proclaiming devastation. And the word of the Lord has been made into a reproach against me and a derision, all day long.
9 Yo decía: «No volveré a recordarlo, ni hablaré más en su Nombre». Pero había en mi corazón algo así como fuego ardiente, prendido en mis huesos, y aunque yo trabajada por ahogarlo, no podía.	9 Then I said: I will not call him to mind, nor will I speak any longer in his name. And my heart became like a raging fire, enclosed within my bones. And I became weary of continuing to bear it.
10 Escuchaba las calumnias de la turba: «¡Terror por doquier!, ¡denunciadle!, ¡denunciémosle!» Todos aquellos con quienes me saludaba estaban acechando un traspiés mío: «¡A ver si se distrae, y le podremos, y tomaremos venganza de él!»	10 For I heard the insults of many, and terror all around: ‘Persecute him!’ and, ‘Let us persecute him!’ from all the men who had been at peace with me and who had kept watch by my side. ‘If only there were some way that he might be deceived, and we might prevail against him and obtain vengeance from him!’
11 Pero Yahveh está conmigo, cual campeón poderoso. Y así mis perseguidores tropezarán impotentes; se avergonzarán mucho de su imprudencia: confusión eterna, inolvidable.	11 But the Lord is with me, like a strong warrior. For this reason, those who persecute me will fall, and they will be ineffective. They will be greatly confounded. For they have not understood the everlasting disgrace that will never be wiped away.
12 ¡Oh Yahveh Sebaot, juez de lo justo, que escrutas los riñones y el corazón!, vea yo tu venganza contra ellos, porque a ti he encomendado mi causa.	12 And you, O Lord of hosts, the Tester of the just, who sees the temperament and the heart: I beg you to let me see your vengeance upon them. For I have revealed my case to you.
13 Cantad a Yahveh, alabad a Yahveh, porque ha salvado la vida de un pobrecillo de manos de malhechores.	13 Sing to the Lord! Praise the Lord! For he has freed the soul of the poor from the hand of the wicked.
14 ¡Maldito el día en que nací! ¡el día que me dio a luz mi madre no sea bendito!	14 Cursed is the day on which I was born! The day on which my mother gave birth to me: let it not be blessed!
15 ¡Maldito aquel que felicitó a mi padre diciendo: «Te ha nacido un hijo varón», y le llenó de alegría!	15 Cursed is the man who announced it to my father, saying, ‘A male child has been born to you,’ causing him to rejoice with gladness.
16 Sea el hombre aquel semejante a las ciudades que destruyó Yahveh sin que le pesara, y escuche alaridos de mañana y gritos de ataque al mediodía.	16 Let that man be like the cities that the Lord has overthrown without regret. Let him hear an outcry in the morning, and wailing at the time of midday!
17 ¡Oh, que no me haya hecho morir desde el vientre, y hubiese sido mi madre mi sepultura, con seno preñado eternamente!	17 So let him be, who did not put me to death from the womb, so that my mother would have been my sepulcher, and her womb would have been my eternal resting place!
18 ¿Para qué haber salido del seno, a ver pena y aflicción, y a consumirse en la vergüenza mis días?	18 Why did I depart from the womb, so that I would see hardship and sorrow, and so that my days would be consumed by trouble?”
