Jeremiah 23

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	BIBLIA
1 “Woe to the shepherds who scatter and tear apart the sheep of my pasture, says the Lord.	1 ¡Ay de los pastores que dejan perderse y desparrarmarse las ovejas de mis pastos! - oráculo de Yahveh -.
2 Because of this, thus says the Lord, the God of Israel, to the shepherds who pasture my people: You have scattered my flock, and you have driven them away, and you have not visited them. Behold, I will visit upon you because of your evil pursuits, says the Lord.	2 Pues así dice Yahveh, el Dios de Israel, tocante a los pastores que apacientan a mi pueblo: Vosotros habéis dispersado las ovejas mías, las empujasteis y no las atendisteis. Mirad que voy a pasaros revista por vuestras malas obras - oráculo de Yahveh -.
3 And I will gather together the remnant of my flock from the entire earth, from the places to which I had cast them out. And I will return them to their own fields. And they will increase and be multiplied.	3 Yo recogeré el Resto de mis ovejas de todas las tierras a donde las empujé, las haré tornar a sus estancias, criarán y se multiplicarán.
4 And I will raise up shepherds over them, and they will pasture them. They will no longer dread, and they will no longer fear. And no one among their number will be seeking more, says the Lord.	4 Y pondré al frente de ellas pastores que las apacienten, y nunca más estarán medrosas ni asustadas, ni faltará ninguna - oráculo de Yahveh -.
5 Behold, the days are approaching, says the Lord, when I will raise up to David a righteous branch. And a king will reign, and he will be wise. And he will exercise judgment and justice upon the earth.	5 Mirad que días vienen - oráculo de Yahveh - en que suscitaré a David un Germen justo: reinará un rey prudente, practicará el derecho y la justicia en la tierra.
6 In those days, Judah will be saved, and Israel will live in confidence. And this is the name that they will call him: ‘The Lord, our Just One.’	6 En sus días estará a salvo Judá, e Israel vivirá en seguro. Y este es el nombre con que te llamarán: «Yahveh, justicia nuestra».
7 Because of this, behold, the days are approaching, says the Lord, when they will no longer say, ‘As the Lord lives, who led the sons of Israel away from the land of Egypt,’	7 Por tanto, mirad que vienen días - oráculo de Yahveh - en que no se dirá más: «¡Por vida de Yahveh, que subió a los hijos de Israel de Egipto!»,
8 but instead, ‘As the Lord lives, who led away and brought back the offspring of the house of Israel from the land of the north and from the entire earth,’ from the places to which I had cast them out. And they will live in their own land.”	8 sino: «¡Por vida de Yahveh, que subió y trajo la simiente de la casa de Israel de tierras del norte y de todas las tierras a donde los arrojara!», y habitarán en su propio suelo.
9 To the prophets: “My heart is crushed within me. All my bones are trembling. I have become like an inebriated man, and like a man maddened by wine, before the face of the Lord, and before the face of his holy words.	9 A los profetas. Se me partió el corazón en mis adentros, estremeciéronse todos mis huesos, me quedé como un borracho, como aquél a quien le domina el vino, por causa de Yahveh, por causa de sus santas palabras.
10 For the earth is full of adulterers! And the earth has mourned before the face of evil talk. The plains of the desert have dried up, and their course has become hazardous, and their firmness has become uneven.”	10 «Porque de fornicadores se ha henchido la tierra. (A causa de una maldición se ha enlutado la tierra, se han secado los pastos de la estepa.) Se ha vuelto la carrera de ellos mala y su esfuerzo no recto.
11 “For both the prophet and the priest have become polluted, and I have found their wickedness within my own house, says the Lord.	11 Tanto el profeta como el sacerdote se han vuelto impíos; en mi misma Casa topé con su maldad - oráculo de Yahveh -.
12 For this reason, their way will be like a slippery path in the dark. For they will be impelled forward, and they will fall in it. For I will bring evils over them, in the year of their visitation, says the Lord.	12 Por ende su camino vendrá a ser su despeñadero: a la sima serán empujados y caerán en ella. Porque voy a traer sobre ellos una calamidad, al tiempo de su visita» - oráculo de Yahveh -.
13 And I have seen the foolishness of the prophets of Samaria. They have prophesied in Baal, and they have deceived my people Israel.	13 En los profetas de Samaría, he observado una inepcia: profetizaban por Baal y hacían errar a mi pueblo Israel.
14 And in the prophets of Jerusalem, I have seen the likeness of adulterers and the path of falsehood. And they have strengthened the hands of the wicked, so that each one would not convert from his malice. They have all become to me like Sodom, and its inhabitants have become like Gomorrah.”	14 Mas en los profetas de Jerusalén he observado una monstruosidad: fornicar y proceder con falsía, dándose la mano con los malhechores, sin volverse cada cual de su malicia. Se me han vuelto todos ellos cual Sodoma, y los habitantes de la ciudad, cual Gomorra.
15 Because of this, thus says the Lord of hosts to the prophets: “Behold, I will feed them absinthe, and I will give them gall to drink. For from the prophets of Jerusalem corruption has gone forth over the entire earth.”	15 Por tanto, así dice Yahveh Sebaot tocante a los profetas: He aquí que les voy a dar de comer ajenjo y les voy a dar de beber agua emponzoñada. Porque a partir de los profetas de Jerusalén se ha propagado la impiedad por toda la tierra.
16 Thus says the Lord of hosts: “Do not choose to listen to the words of the prophets who prophesy to you and deceive you. They speak a vision from their own heart, and not from the mouth of the Lord.	16 Así dice Yahveh Sebaot: No escuchéis las palabras de los profetas que os profetizan. Os están embaucando. Os cuentan sus propias fantasías, no cosa de boca de Yahveh.
17 To those who blaspheme me, they say: ‘The Lord has said: You shall have peace.’ And to every one who walks in the depravity of his own heart, they have said: ‘No evil will overwhelm you.’ ”	17 Dicen a los que me desprecian: «Yahveh dice: ¡Paz tendréis!» y a todo el que camina en terquedad de corazón: «No os sucederá nada malo».
18 For who has been present in the counsel of the Lord, and who has seen and heard his word? Who has considered his word and heard it?	18 (Porque ¿quién asistió al consejo de Yahveh y vio y oyó su palabra?, ¿quién escuchó su palabra y la ha oído?)
19 Behold, the whirlwind of the Lord’s indignation will go forth, and a tempest will break out; it will overwhelm the head of the impious.	19 Mirad que una tormenta de Yahveh, su ira, ha estallado, un torbellino remolinea, sobre la cabeza de los malos descarga.
20 The fury of the Lord will not return until it succeeds, and until it completes the plan of his heart. In the last days, you will understand this counsel.	20 No ha de apaciguarse la ira de Yahveh hasta que la ejecute, y realice los designios de su corazón. En días futuros os percataréis de ello.
21 “I did not send these prophets, yet they hurry forward. I was not speaking to them, yet they were prophesying.	21 Yo no envié a esos profetas, y ellos corrieron. No les hablé, y ellos profetizaron.
22 If they had stood in my counsel, and if I had made my words known to my people, certainly I would have turned them away from their evil ways and from their most wicked plans.	22 Pues si asistieron a mi consejo, hagan oír mi palabra a mi pueblo, y háganle tornar de su mal camino y de sus acciones malas.
23 Do you not realize that I am a God close by, says the Lord, and not a God far away?	23 ¿Soy yo un Dios sólo de cerca - oráculo de Yahveh - y no soy Dios de lejos?
24 If a man is hidden in concealed places, do I not see him, says the Lord? Do I not fill up heaven and earth, says the Lord?	24 ¿O se esconderá alguno en escondite donde yo no le vea? - oráculo de Yahveh -. ¿Los cielos y la tierra no los lleno yo? - oráculo de Yahveh -.
25 I have heard what the prophets have said, prophesying falsehoods in my name, and also saying: ‘I have dreamed! I have dreamed!’	25 Ya he oído lo que dicen esos profetas que profetizan falsamente en mi nombre diciendo: «¡He tenido un sueño, he tenido un sueño!»
26 How long will this be in the heart of the prophets who predict what is false, and who prophesy deceptions from their own heart?	26 ¿Hasta cuándo va a durar esto en el corazón de los profetas que profetizan en falso y son profetas de la impostura de su corazón?,
27 They want to cause my people to forget my name, by means of their dreams, which each of them describes to his neighbor, just as their fathers forgot my name for the sake of Baal.	27 ¿los que piensan hacer olvidarse a mi pueblo de mi Nombre por los sueños que se cuentan cada cual a su vecino, como olvidaron sus padres mi Nombre por Baal?
28 The prophet who has had a dream, let him describe the dream. And he who receives my word, let him speak my word in truth. For what has the chaff to do with the wheat, says the Lord?	28 Profeta que tenga un sueño, cuente un sueño, y el que tenga consigo mi palabra, que hable mi palabra fielmente. ¿Qué tiene que ver la paja con el grano? - oráculo de Yahveh -.
29 Are not my words like a fire, says the Lord, and like a hammer crushing rock?	29 ¿No es así mi palabra, como el fuego, y como un martillo golpea la peña?
30 Therefore, behold: I am against the prophets, says the Lord, who steal my words, each one from his neighbor.	30 Pues bien, aquí estoy yo contra los profetas - oráculo de Yahveh - que se roban mis palabras el uno al otro.
31 Behold, I am against the prophets, says the Lord, who take up their tongues and say: ‘The Lord says it.’	31 Aquí estoy yo contra los profetas - oráculo de Yahveh - que usan de su lengua y emiten oráculo.
32 Behold, I am against the prophets, who dream what is false, says the Lord; who explain and so seduce my people with their falsehoods and with their miracles, though I did not send them, nor did I command them. They have offer nothing beneficial to this people, says the Lord.	32 Aquí estoy yo contra los profetas que profetizan falsos sueños - oráculo de Yahveh - y los cuentan, y hacen errar a mi pueblo con sus falsedades y su presunción, cuando yo ni les he enviado ni dado órdenes, y ellos de ningún provecho han sido para este pueblo - oráculo de Yahveh -.
33 Therefore, if this people, or a prophet, or a priest questions you, saying, ‘What is the burden of the Lord?’ you shall say to them, ‘You are the burden. And certainly I will cast you away, says the Lord.’	33 Y cuando te pregunte este pueblo - o un profeta o un sacerdote -. «¿Cuál es la carga de Yahveh?» les dirás: «Vosotros sois la carga, y voy a dejaros en el suelo - oráculo de Yahveh -».
34 And as for the prophet, and the priest, and the people who say, ‘The burden of the Lord!’ I will visit upon that man and upon his house.	34 Y el profeta, el sacerdote o cualquiera que dijere: «Una carga de Yahveh», yo me las entenderé con él y con su casa.
35 And then you will speak in this way, each one to his neighbor and to his brother: ‘What has the Lord answered? And what has the Lord said?’	35 Así os diréis cada uno a su prójimo, y cada uno a su hermano: «¿Qué ha respondido Yahveh?, ¿qué ha dicho Yahveh?»
36 And the burden of the Lord will be no longer be called to mind. For each one’s own word will be a burden. For you have perverted the words of the living God, of the Lord of hosts, our God.	36 Pero de eso de la «carga de Yahveh» no os acordaréis más, porque tal carga sería para cada uno su propia palabra. Porque trastornáis las palabras del Dios vivo, Yahveh Sebaot nuestro Dios.
37 And then you will speak in this way to the prophet: ‘What has the Lord answered you? And what has the Lord spoken?’	37 Así diréis al profeta: «¿Qué te ha respondido Yahveh?, ¿qué ha dicho Yahveh?»
38 But if you say, ‘The burden of the Lord!’ then because of this, thus says the Lord: Since you have spoken this word, ‘The burden of the Lord!’ though I sent to you telling you not to say: ‘The burden of the Lord,’	38 Pero como habléis de «carga de Yahveh», entonces así dice Yahveh: «Por haber dicho eso de carga de Yahveh por más que os avisé que no dijerais carga de Yahveh,
39 because of this, behold, I will take you away, like a burden, and I will forsake you, as well as the city that I gave to you and to your fathers, before my face.	39 por lo mismo, he aquí que yo os levanto en alto y os dejo caer a vosotros y a la ciudad que os di a vosotros y a vuestros padres.
40 And I will give you over to an everlasting reproach and an eternal disgrace, which shall never be wiped away into oblivion.”	40 Y os pondré encima oprobio eterno y baldón eterno que no será olvidado».
