Jeremías 49

BIBLIA	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 A los ammonitas. Así dice Yahveh: ¿Hijos no tiene Israel? ¿o heredero no tiene? Entonces ¿por qué ha heredado Milkom a Gad, y su pueblo en las ciudades de éste habita?	1 Against the sons of Ammon. Thus says the Lord: “Does Israel have no sons? Or is there no heir for him? Then why has Milcom possessed the inheritance of Gad, and why have his people lived in his cities?
2 Por eso, he aquí que días vienen - oráculo de Yahveh - en que haré oír a Rabbá de los ammonitas el clamoreo del combate y ella parará el montículo de ruinas; y sus hijas serán abrasadas y heredará Israel a los que le heredaron - oráculo de Yahveh -.	2 Therefore, behold, the days are approaching, says the Lord, when I will cause the noise of battle to be heard over Rabbah of the sons of Ammon. And it will be scattered into a tumult, and her daughters will be burned with fire. And Israel shall possess those who had possessed him, says the Lord.
3 Ulula, Jesbón, porque Ar ha sido devastada. Gritad, hijas de Rabbá, ceñíos de sayal, lamentaos y discurrid por las cercas. Porque Milkom al destierro va, sus sacerdotes y sus jefes a una.	3 Wail, O Heshbon! For Ai has been devastated. Cry out, O daughters of Rabbah! Wrap yourselves with haircloth. Mourn and circle the hedges. For Milcom will be led into the transmigration: his priests and his leaders together.
4 ¿Por qué te jactas de tu Valle, criatura independiente, confiada en sus tesoros: «¿Quién llegará hasta mí?»	4 Why have you gloried in the valleys? Your valley has flowed away, O delicate daughter, for you had confidence in your treasures, and you were saying, ‘Who can approach me?’
5 Mira que yo traigo sobre ti espanto - oráculo del Señor Yahveh Sebaot - por todos tus alrededores, y seréis ahuyentados cada uno por su lado y no habrá quien reúna a los errantes.	5 Behold, I will lead a terror over you, says the Lord, the God of hosts, from those who are all around you. And you will be dispersed, each one from before your sight. There will be no one who will gather together those who are fleeing.
6 (Tras de lo cual haré volverse a los cautivos, de los ammonitas - oráculo de Yahveh -.)	6 And after this, I will cause the captives of the sons of Ammon to return, says the Lord.”
7 A Edom. Así dice Yahveh Sebaot: ¿No queda ya sabiduría en Temán? ¿Pereció la prudencia de los entendidos, se evaporó su sabiduría?	7 Against Idumea. Thus says the Lord of hosts: “Is there no longer any wisdom in Teman? Counsel has perished from the sons. Their wisdom has become useless.
8 Huid, dad media vuelta, buscad profunda morada, moradores de Dedán, porque el infortunio de Esaú he traído sobre él, la hora de su visita.	8 Flee and turn your backs! Descend into the chasm, O inhabitants of Dedan! For I have brought the perdition of Esau over him, the time of his visitation.
9 Si vinieran a ti vendimiadores, ¿no dejarían rebuscos? Si ladrones por la noche, dañarían hasta donde les bastase.	9 If those who gather grapes had passed by you, would they not have left behind a cluster? If there were thieves in the night, they would seize what was enough for themselves.
10 Pues bien, yo he desnudado a Esaú, he descubierto sus secretos, estar oculto no puede. Ha sido aniquilado su linaje, sus hermanos y vecinos, y él mismo no aparece.	10 Yet truly, I have stripped Esau bare. I have revealed his secrets, and he is not able to be concealed. His offspring has been devastated, with his brothers and his neighbors, and he himself will not exist.
11 Deja a tus huérfanos, yo haré que vivan, y tus viudas en mí confiarán.	11 Leave behind your orphans. I will make sure that they live. And your widows will hope in me.”
12 Pues así dice Yahveh: Conque los que no tienen por qué beber la copa la beben, ¿y tú precisamente vas a quedar impune? No quedarás impune, antes sin falta la beberás.	12 For thus says the Lord: “Behold, those who judged that they would not drink the cup, will certainly drink. And so, will you be released as if you were innocent? You will not be released as if innocent. Instead, you shall certainly drink.
13 Porque por mí lo he jurado - oráculo de Yahveh - que en desolación se convertirá Bosrá, y todas sus ciudades se convertirán en ruinas eternas.	13 For I have sworn by myself, says the Lord, that Bozrah will be a desolation, and a disgrace, and a wasteland, and a curse. And all her cities will be a perpetual wilderness.
14 Una nueva he oído de parte de Yahveh, un mensajero entre las naciones enviado: «Juntaos y venid contra él y poneos en pie de guerra».	14 I have heard a report from the Lord, and an legate has been sent to the nations: ‘Gather yourselves together, and go forth against her, and let us rise up to battle.’
15 Porque es cierto que pequeño te hice yo entre las naciones, despreciable entre los hombres.	15 For behold, I have made you little among the nations, contemptible among men.
16 El espanto que infundías te engañó, la soberbia de tu corazón, tú, el que habitas en las hendiduras de la roca, que ocupas lo alto de la cuesta. Aunque pongas en alto, como el águila, tu nido, de allí te haré bajar - oráculo de Yahveh -.	16 Your arrogance has deceived you, by the pride of your heart, you who live in the caverns of the rock and who strive to take hold of the height of the hill. But even if you make your nest like that of an eagle, I will pull you down from there, says the Lord.
17 Edom parará en desolación: todo el que pase a su vera se asombrará y silbará al ver todas sus heridas.	17 And Idumea will be a desert. Everyone who passes by it will be stupefied and will hiss over all its wounds.
18 Cual la catástrofe de Sodoma y Gomorra y sus vecinas - dice Yahveh - donde no vive nadie, ni reside en ellas ser humano.	18 Just as Sodom and Gomorrah and their neighbors were overthrown, says the Lord: there will not be a man living there, and no son of man will tend it.
19 Vedlo como león que sube del boscaje del Jordán hacia el pastizal perenne, cuando en un instante le haré salir huyendo de allí, para colocar allí a quien me plazca. Porque ¿quién como yo, y quién me emplazará, y quién es el pastor que aguante en mi presencia?	19 Behold, he will ascend like a lion from the arrogance of the Jordan, against the robust beauty. For I will cause him to rush against her suddenly. And who will be the elect one, whom I may appoint over her? For who is like me? And who can endure me? And who is that pastor who can withstand my countenance?
20 Así pues, oíd la decisión que Yahveh ha tomado sobre Edom y sus planes sobre los moradores de Temán. Juro que les han de llevar a rastras las crías de los rebaños, que asolarán sobre ellos sus pastizales.	20 Because of this, listen to the counsel of the Lord, which he has undertaken concerning Edom, and to his thoughts, which he has devised concerning the inhabitants of Teman. Certainly, the little ones of the flock will cast them down, unless they scatter them with their habitation.
21 Al son de su caída retumbó la tierra y el griterío hasta el mar de las Cañas se dejó oír.	21 The earth has been shaken at the noise of their destruction. The outcry of their voice has been heard at the Red Sea.
22 Ved cómo cual un águila sube, se remonta y extiende sus alas sobre Bosrá; y vendrá a ser el corazón de los valientes de Edom en aquel día como corazón de mujer en parto.	22 Behold, he will ascend like an eagle and will fly. And he will spread his wings over Bozrah. And in that day, the heart of the strong ones of Idumea will be like the heart of a woman giving birth.”
23 A Damasco. Avergonzadas están Jamat y Arpad. Porque una noticia mala oyeron, su corazón tembló de espanto; como el mar que no se puede calmar.	23 Against Damascus. “Hamath has been confounded, with Arpad. For they have heard a most grievous report. They have been stirred up like the sea. Because of anxiousness, they were not able to rest.
24 Flaqueó Damasco, dio vuelta para huir y escalofríos la sobrecogieron: apuro y dolores la acometieron como a parturienta.	24 Damascus has been broken. She has been turned to flight. Trembling has taken hold of her. Anguish and sorrows have seized her, like a woman giving birth.
25 ¡Cómo! ¿No fue abandonada la ciudad celebrada, la villa de mi contento?	25 How could they have abandoned the praiseworthy city, the city of rejoicing?
26 En verdad, caerán sus jóvenes escogidos en sus plazas, y todos los guerreros perecerán aquel día - oráculo de Yahveh Sebaot -.	26 For this reason, her young men will fall in her streets. And all the men of battle will be silenced in that day, says the Lord of hosts.
27 Prenderé fuego a la muralla de Damasco, y consumirá los alcázares de Ben Hadad.	27 And I will kindle a fire at the wall of Damascus, and it will devour the defensive walls of Ben-hadad.”
28 A Quedar y a los reinos de Jasor, que batió Nabucodonosor, rey de Babilonia. Así dice Yahveh: Alzaos, subid a Quedar y saquead a los hijos de oriente.	28 Against Kedar and against the kingdoms of Hazor, which Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, has struck down. Thus says the Lord: “Rise up and ascend to Kedar, and lay waste to the sons of the East.
29 Sus tiendas y rebaños serán tomados; sus toldos y todo su ajuar y sus camellos les serán arrebatados, y a ellos se les llamará «Terror por doquier».	29 They will seize their tabernacles and their flocks. And they will take for themselves their tents, and all their vessels, and their camels. And they will call down a terror upon them on every side.
30 Huid, emigrad muy lejos, buscad profunda morada, moradores de Jasor - oráculo de Yahveh - porque ha tomado contra vosotros Nabucodonosor, rey de Babilonia, una decisión, y ha trazado un plan contra vosotros.	30 Flee, go away urgently! Sit in deep pits, you who inhabit Hazor, says the Lord. For Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, has undertaken a counsel against you, and he has devised plans against you.
31 Alzaos, subid contra la nación pacífica que vive confiada - oráculo de Yahveh -. Ni puertas ni cerrojos tiene. En aislamiento viven.	31 Rise up, and ascend to a nation that is quiet and lives in confidence, says the Lord. They have neither gates nor bars. They dwell alone.
32 Y serán sus camellos objeto del pillaje y el tropel de sus ganados para botín, y esparciré a todo viento a los que se afeitan las sienes, y de todos sus aledaños traeré su infortunio - oráculo de Yahveh -.	32 And their camels will be a spoil, and the multitude of their cattle will be a prey. And I will disperse, into every wind, those who have shaved their hair. And from all their confines, I will lead great destruction over them, says the Lord.
33 Y vendrá a ser Jasor guarida de chacales, desolación sempiterna, donde no se asienta nadie y en la que no reside ser humano.	33 And Hazor will be a habitation for serpents, deserted even unto eternity. No man will abide there, nor will a son of man tend it.”
34 Lo que fue dicho por Yahveh al profeta Jeremías tocante a Elam en el principio del reinado de Sedecías, rey de Judá.	34 The word of the Lord that came to Jeremiah the prophet against Elam, in the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah, the king of Judah, saying:
35 Así dice Yahveh Sebaot: He aquí que yo rompo el arco de Elam, primicia de su fuerza	35 “Thus says the Lord of hosts: Behold, I will break the bow of Elam, and the summit of their strength.
36 y voy a traer sobre Elam los cuatro vientos desde los cuatro cabos de los cielos, y a ellos les esparciré a todos estos vientos, y no habrá nación a donde no lleguen los arrojados de Elam.	36 And I will lead the four winds over Elam, from the four corners of heaven. And I will scatter them into all these winds. And there will be no nation to which the fugitives of Elam will not travel.
37 Haré desmayar a Elam ante sus enemigos y ante los que buscan su muerte y traeré sobre ellos cosa mala, el ardor de mi ira - oráculo de Yahveh - y soltaré tras ellos la espada hasta acabarlos.	37 And I will cause Elam to be terrified before their enemies and in the sight of those who seek their life. And I will lead an evil over them, the wrath of my fury, says the Lord. And I will send the sword after them, until I consume them.
38 Pondré mi trono en Elam y haré desaparecer de allí a rey y jefes - oráculo de Yahveh -.	38 And I will set my throne in Elam, and I will perish the kings and princes from there, says the Lord.
39 Luego, en días futuros, haré volver a los cautivos de Elam - oráculo de Yahveh -.	39 But in the last days, I will cause the captives of Elam to return, says the Lord.”
