Jeremías 25

BIBLIA	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 Palabra que fue dirigida a Jeremías tocante a todo el pueblo de Judá el año cuarto de Yoyaquim, hijo de Josías, rey de Judá, - o sea el año primero de Nabucodonosor, rey de Babilonia -,	1 The word that came to Jeremiah about all the people of Judah, in the fourth year of Jehoiakim, the son of Josiah, the king of Judah. The same is the first year of Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon.
2 la cual pronunció e profeta Jeremías a todo el pueblo de Judá y a toda la población de Jerusalén, en estos términos:	2 And the prophet Jeremiah spoke to all the people of Judah, and to all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, saying:
3 Desde el año trece de Josías, hijo de Amón, rey de Judá, hasta este día, veintitrés años hace que me es dirigida la palabra de Yahveh, y os la he comunicado puntualmente (pero no habéis oído.	3 “From the thirteenth year of Josiah, the son of Amon, the king of Judah, even until this day, which is the twenty-third year, the word of the Lord has been given to me, and I have spoken to you, rising while it was still night, and speaking, and yet you have not listened.
4 También os envió Yahveh puntualmente a todos sus siervos los profetas, y tampoco oísteis ni aplicasteis el oído),	4 And the Lord has sent to you all his servants, the prophets, rising at first light, and sending, and yet you have not listened, and you have not inclined your ears, so that you would hear,
5 diciendo: Ea, volveos cada cual de su mal camino y de sus malas acciones, y volveréis al solar que os dio Yahveh a vosotros y a vuestros padres, desde siempre hasta siempre.	5 when he said: Return, each one from his evil way, and from your wicked thoughts. And you shall dwell in the land, which the Lord has given to you and to your fathers, from ancient times and even forever.
6 (No vayáis en pos de otros dioses para servirles y adorarles, no me provoquéis con las hechuras de vuestras manos, y no os haré mal.)	6 And do not choose to go after strange gods, so that you would serve them and adore them. And do not provoke me to wrath by the works of your hands. And then I will not afflict you.
7 Pero no me habéis oído (- oráculo de Yahveh - de suerte que con las hechuras de vuestras manos me provocasteis, para vuestro mal).	7 And yet you have not listened to me, says the Lord, and so you have provoked me to anger with the works of your hands, to your own harm.”
8 Por eso, así dice Yahveh Sebaot: Puesto que no habéis oído mis palabras,	8 Because of this, thus says the Lord of hosts: “Since you have not listened to my words,
9 he aquí que yo mando a buscar a todos los linajes del norte (- oráculo de Yahveh - y a mi siervo Nabucodonosor, rey de Babilonia), y los traeré contra esta tierra y contra sus moradores (y contra todas estas gentes de alrededor); los anatematizaré y los pondré por pasmo, rechifla y ruinas eternos,	9 behold, I will send for and take all the associates of the north, says the Lord, and Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, my servant, and I will lead them over this land, and over its inhabitants, and over all the nations that are around it. And I will destroy them, and I will set them in the midst of stupor and hissing, and continual desolations.
10 y haré desaparecer de ellos voz de gozo y voz de alegría, la voz del novio y la voz de la novia, el ruido de la muela y la luz de la candela.	10 And I will perish from them the voice of gladness and the voice of rejoicing, the voice of the groom and the voice of the bride, the sound of the millstone and the light of the lamp.
11 Será reducida toda esta tierra a pura desolación, y servirán estas gentes al rey de Babilonia setenta años.	11 And this entire land will be in desolation and in stupor. And all these nations will serve the king of Babylon, for seventy years.
12 (Luego, en cumpliéndose los setenta años, visitaré al rey de Babilonia y a dicha gente por su delito - oráculo de Yahveh - y a la tierra de los caldeos trocándola en ruinas eternas).	12 And when the seventy years have been completed, I will visit their iniquity upon the king of Babylon, and upon that nation, and upon the land of the Chaldeans, says the Lord. And I will set it in continual desolations.
13 Y atraeré sobre aquella tierra todas las palabras que he hablado respecto a ella, todo lo que está escrito en este libro. Lo que profetizó Jeremías tocante a la generalidad de las naciones.	13 And I will lead over that land all my words, which I have spoken against it, all that has been written in this book, everything whatsoever that Jeremiah has prophesied against all the nations.
14 (Pues también a ellos los reducirán a servidumbre muchas naciones y reyes grandes, y les pagaré según sus obras y según la hechura de sus manos.)	14 For they have served them, though these were populous nations and great kings. And I will repay them according to their works and according to the deeds of their hands.”
15 Así me ha dicho Yahveh Dios de Israel: Toma esta copa de vino de furia, y hazla beber a todas las naciones a las que yo te envíe;	15 For thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: “Take the chalice of the wine of this fury from my hand. And you shall cause all the nations, to which I will send you, to drink from it.
16 beberán, y trompicarán, y se enloquecerán ante la espada que voy a soltar entre ellas.	16 And they will drink, and be stirred up, and become maddened, before the face of the sword that I will send among them.”
17 Tomé la copa de mano de Yahveh, e hice beber a todas las naciones a las que me había enviado Yahveh:	17 And I received the chalice from the hand of the Lord, and I caused all the nations, to which the Lord has sent me, to drink from it:
18 (a Jerusalén y a las ciudades de Judá, a sus reyes y a sus principales, para trocarlo todo en desolación, pasmo, rechifla y maldición, como hoy está sucediendo);	18 Jerusalem, and the cities of Judah, and its kings, and its leaders, so that I gave them over to desolation, and stupor, and hissing, and a curse, just as it is this day.
19 a Faraón, rey de Egipto, a sus siervos, a sus principales y a todo su pueblo,	19 “But as for Pharaoh, the king of Egypt, and his servants, and his leaders, and all his people,
20 a todos los mestizos (a todos los reyes de Us); a todos los reyes de Filistea: a Ascalón, Gaza, Ecrón y al residuo de Asdod;	20 and the entire populace in general: all the kings of the land of the south, and all the kings of the land of the Philistines, and Ashkelon, and Gaza, and Ekron, and the remnant of Ashdod,
21 a Edom, Moab, y los ammonitas,	21 and Idumea, and Moab, and the sons of Ammon,
22 a (todos) los reyes de Tiro, a (todos) los reyes de Sidón y a los reyes de las islas de allende el mar;	22 and all the kings of Tyre, and all the kings of Sidon, and the kings of the land of the islands that are across the sea,
23 a Dedán, Temá, Buz; a todos los que se afeitan las sienes,	23 and Dedan, and Tema, and Buz, and all those who have shaved off their hair,
24 a todos los reyes de Arabia y a todos los reyes de los mestizos habitantes del desierto;	24 and all the kings of Arabia, and all the kings of the west, who live in the desert,
25 (a todos los reyes de Zimrí) a todos los reyes de Elam y a todos los reyes de Media,	25 and all the kings of Zimri, and all the kings of Elam, and all the kings of Media,
26 a todos los reyes del norte, los próximos y los remotos, cada uno con su hermano, y a todos los reinos que hay sobre la haz de la tierra. (Y el rey de Sesak beberá después de ellos.)	26 and likewise, all the kings of the north from near to far, each one facing his brother, and all the kingdoms upon the face of the earth, and the king of Sesac: all these shall drink after them.
27 Y les dirás: Así dice Yahveh Sebaot, el Dios de Israel: Bebed, emborrachaos, vomitad, caed y no os levantéis delante de la espada que yo voy a soltar entre vosotros.	27 And you shall say to them: Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: Drink, and be inebriated, and vomit, and fall down. And you shall not rise up before the face the sword that I will send among you.
28 Y si rehúsan tomar la copa de tu mano para beber, les dices: Así dice Yahveh Sebaot: Tenéis que beber sin falta,	28 And if they refuse to receive the cup from your hand and to drink, you shall say to them: Thus says the Lord of hosts: Certainly, you shall drink!
29 porque precisamente por la ciudad que lleva mi Nombre empiezo a castigar; ¿y vosotros, quedaréis impunes?: ¡no, no quedaréis!, porque a la espada llamo yo contra todos los habitantes de la tierra - oráculo de Yahveh Sebaot -.	29 For behold, I am beginning to afflict the city in which my name has been invoked, and will you be innocent and immune? You will not be immune! For I will call the sword over all the inhabitants of the earth, says the Lord of hosts.
30 Tú, pues, les profetizas todas estas palabras y les dices: Yahveh desde lo alto ruge, y desde su santa Morada da su voz. Ruge contra su aprisco: grita como los lagareros. A todos los habitantes de la tierra	30 And you shall prophesy to them all these words, and you shall say to them: The Lord will roar from on high, and he will utter his voice from his holy habitation. When roaring, he will roar over the place of his beauty. He will call out, like those who chant in rhythm as they trample the grapes, against all the inhabitants of the earth.
31 llega el eco, hasta el fin de la tierra. Porque pleitea Yahveh con las naciones y vence en juicio a toda criatura. A los malos los entrega a la espada - oráculo de Yahveh -.	31 The sound of it will penetrate even to the ends of the earth. For the Lord is entering into judgment with the nations. He himself is entering into judgment with all flesh. I have delivered the impious to the sword, says the Lord.”
32 Así dice Yahveh Sebaot: Mirad que una desgracia se propaga de nación a nación, y una gran tormenta surge del fin del mundo.	32 Thus says the Lord of hosts: “Behold, an affliction will go forth from nation to nation, and a great whirlwind will go forth from the ends of the earth.
33 Habrá víctimas de Yahveh en aquel día de cabo a cabo de la tierra; no serán plañidos ni recogidos ni sepultados más: se volverán estiércol sobre la haz de la tierra.	33 And the slain of the Lord will be, on that day, from one end of the earth, even to the other end. They will not be mourned, and they will not be gathered, and they will not be buried. They will lie upon the face of the earth like dung.
34 Ululad, pastores, y clamad; revolcaos, mayorales, porque se han cumplido vuestros días para la matanza, y caeréis como objetos escogidos.	34 Wail, O shepherds, and cry out! And sprinkle yourselves with ashes, O nobles of the flock! For the days have been completed that lead to your slaughter and your destruction. And you will fall like precious vessels.
35 No habrá evasión para los pastores ni escapatoria para los mayorales.	35 And escape will flee from the shepherds, and safety will flee from the nobility of the flock.”
36 Se oye el grito de los pastores, el ulular de los mayorales, porque devasta Yahveh su pastizal,	36 There is a voice of outcry from the shepherds, and a wailing among the nobles among the flock! For the Lord has laid waste to their pastures.
37 y son aniquiladas las estancias más seguras por la ardiente cólera de Yahveh.	37 And the fields of peace have been silenced before the face of the fury of the Lord.
38 Ha dejado el león su cubil, y se ha convertido su tierra en desolación ante la cólera irresistible, ante la ardiente cólera.	38 He has abandoned those he sheltered like a lion. For the earth has become a desolation before the face of the anger of the dove, and before the face of the fury of the Lord.
