Jeremiah 20
1 Now it came to the ears of Pashhur, the son of Immer the priest, who was chief in authority in the house of the Lord, that Jeremiah was saying these things;
Y Fasur, sacerdote, hijo de Immer, que presidía por príncipe en la casa de Jehová, oyó a Jeremías que profetizaba estas palabras.
2 And Pashhur gave blows to Jeremiah and had his feet chained in a framework of wood in the higher doorway of Benjamin, which was in the house of the Lord.
E hirió Fasur a Jeremías profeta, y púsole en el calabozo, que estaba a la puerta de Ben-jamín en lo alto, la cual está en la casa de Jehová.
3 Then on the day after, Pashhur let Jeremiah loose. Then Jeremiah said to him, The Lord has given you the name of Magor-missabib (Cause-of-fear-on-every-side), not Pashhur.
Y el día siguiente Fasur sacó a Jeremías del calabozo; y díjole Jeremías: No ha llamado Jehová tu nombre Fasur, mas Magor-missabid.
4 For the Lord has said, See, I will make you a cause of fear to yourself and to all your friends: they will come to their death by the sword of their haters, and your eyes will see it: and I will give all Judah into the hands of the king of Babylon, and he will take them away prisoners into Babylon and put them to the sword.
Porque así dijo Jehová: He aquí que yo te pondré en espanto, a ti y a todos los que bien te quieren, y caerán por la espada de sus enemigos, y tus ojos lo verán; y a todo Judá entregaré en mano del rey de Babilonia, y transportarlos ha en Babilonia, y herirlos ha a cuchillo.
5 And more than this, I will give all the wealth of this town and all its profits and all its things of value, even all the stores of the kings of Judah will I give into the hands of their haters, who will put violent hands on them and take them away to Babylon.
Y daré toda la sustancia de esta ciudad, y todo su trabajo, y todas sus cosas preciosas, y todos los tesoros de los reyes de Judá daré en mano de sus enemigos, y saquearlos han; y tomarlos han, y traerlos han en Babilonia.
6 And you, Pashhur, and all who are in your house, will go away prisoners: you will come to Babylon, and there your body will be put to rest, you and all your friends, to whom you said false words.
Y tú, Fasur, y todos los moradores de tu casa iréis cautivos, y en Babilonia entrarás, y allá morirás, y allá serás enterrado, tú y todos los que bien te quieren, a los cuales has profetizado con mentira.
7 O Lord, you have been false to me, and I was tricked; you are stronger than I, and have overcome me: I have become a thing to be laughed at all the day, everyone makes sport of me.
Engañásteme, o! Jehová, y engañado soy: más fuerte has sido que yo, y me venciste: cada día he sido escarnecido, cada uno burla de mí:
8 For every word I say is a cry for help; I say with a loud voice, Violent behaviour and wasting: because the word of the Lord is made a shame to me and a cause of laughing all the day.
Porque desde que hablo, doy voces, grito violencia y destrucción: porque la palabra de Jehová me ha sido para afrenta y escarnio cada día.
9 And if I say, I will not keep him in mind, I will not say another word in his name; then it is in my heart like a burning fire shut up in my bones, and I am tired of keeping myself in, I am not able to do it.
Y dije: No me acordaré más de él, ni más hablaré en su nombre. Y fue en mi corazón como un fuego ardiente metido en mis huesos: trabajé por sufrirle, y no pude:
10 For numbers of them say evil secretly in my hearing (there is fear on every side): they say, Come, let us give witness against him; all my nearest friends, who are watching for my fall, say, It may be that he will be taken by deceit, and we will get the better of him and give him punishment.
Porque oí la murmuración de muchos, temor de todas partes: Denunciád, y denunciarémos. Todos mis amigos miraban, si cojearía: Quizá se engañará, y prevaleceremos contra él, y tomaremos de él nuestra venganza.
11 But the Lord is with me as a great one, greatly to be feared: so my attackers will have a fall, and they will not overcome me: they will be greatly shamed, because they have not done wisely, even with an unending shame, kept in memory for ever.
Mas Jehová está conmigo como poderoso gigante; por tanto los que me persiguen tropezarán, y no prevalecerán: serán avergonzados en gran manera, porque no prosperarán: tendrán perpetua vergüenza, que nunca se olvidará.
12 But, O Lord of armies, testing the upright and seeing the thoughts and the heart, let me see your punishment come on them; for I have put my cause before you.
O! Jehová de los ejércitos, que sondas lo justo, que ves los riñones y el corazón, vea yo tu venganza de ellos, porque a ti descubrí mi causa.
13 Make melody to the Lord, give praise to the Lord: for he has made the soul of the poor man free from the hands of the evil-doers.
Cantád a Jehová: load a Jehová; porque escapó el alma del pobre de mano de los malignos.
14 A curse on the day of my birth: let there be no blessing on the day when my mother had me.
Maldito sea el día en que nací: el día que mi madre me parió no sea bendito.
15 A curse on the man who gave the news to my father, saying, You have a male child; making him very glad.
Maldito sea el hombre que dio nuevas a mi padre, diciendo: Nacídote ha hijo varón: alegrando le hizo alegrar.
16 May that man be like the towns overturned by the Lord without mercy: let a cry for help come to his ears in the morning, and the sound of war in the middle of the day;
Y sea el tal hombre como las ciudades que asoló Jehová, y no se arrepintió; y oiga gritos de mañana, y voces a mediodía.
17 Because he did not put me to death before my birth took place: so my mother's body would have been my last resting-place, and she would have been with child for ever.
¿Por qué no me mató en el vientre, y mi madre me hubiera sido mi sepulcro, y su vientre concebimiento perpetuo?
18 Why did I come from my mother's body to see pain and sorrow, so that my days might be wasted with shame?
¿Para qué salí del vientre? ¿para ver trabajo y dolor, y que mis días se gastasen en vergüenza?
