Jeremiah 20
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.
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 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.
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 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.’”
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.”
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 “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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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!’
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, 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.
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 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.
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 Sing to the Lord! Praise the Lord! For he has freed the soul of the poor from the hand of the wicked.
Cantád a Jehová: load a Jehová; porque escapó el alma del pobre de mano de los malignos.
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!
Maldito sea el día en que nací: el día que mi madre me parió no sea bendito.
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.
Maldito sea el hombre que dio nuevas a mi padre, diciendo: Nacídote ha hijo varón: alegrando le hizo alegrar.
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!
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 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!
¿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 depart from the womb, so that I would see hardship and sorrow, and so that my days would be consumed by trouble?”
¿Para qué salí del vientre? ¿para ver trabajo y dolor, y que mis días se gastasen en vergüenza?
