Jeremías 27

1 Este mensaje llegó a Jeremías de parte del Señor al comienzo del reinado de Sedequías, hijo de Josías, rey de Judá.

In the beginning of the reign of Jehoiakim son of Josiah, king of Judah, this word has been to Jeremiah from YHWH, saying,

2 Esto es lo que me dijo el Señor: Hazte un arnés y un yugo y átalo a tu cuello

“Thus said YHWH to me: Make bands and yokes for yourself,

3 Envía un mensaje a los reyes de Edom, Moab, Amón, Tiro y Sidón por medio de los embajadores que han venido a Jerusalén a ver a Sedequías, rey de Judá.

and you have put them on your neck, and have sent them to the king of Edom, and to the king of Moab, and to the king of the sons of Ammon, and to the king of Tyre, and to the king of Sidon, by the hand of messengers who are coming to Jerusalem, to Zedekiah king of Judah;

4 Dales esta orden del Señor Todopoderoso, el Dios de Israel, para que la transmitan a sus señores:

and you have commanded them for their lords, saying, Thus said YHWH of Hosts, God of Israel:

5 Por mi fuerza y mi poder creador hice la tierra y los seres humanos y los animales que la habitan, y la entrego a los que son rectos a mis ojos.

Thus you say to your lords, I have made the earth with man, and the livestock that [are] on the face of the earth, by My great power, and by My outstretched arm, and I have given it to whom it has been right in My eyes.

6 Ahora he puesto a mi siervo Nabucodonosor, rey de Babilonia, a cargo de todos estos países. Incluso le he dado el control de los animales salvajes.

And now, I have given all these lands into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, My servant, and I have also given the beast of the field to him to serve him;

7 Todas las naciones le servirán a él, a su hijo y a su nieto, hasta el momento en que su propia tierra quede bajo el control de otras naciones y de reyes poderosos.

and all the nations have served him, and his son, and his son’s son, until the coming in of the time of his land, also it; and many nations and great kings have made him serve them.

8 Cualquier nación o reino que no sirva a Nabucodonosor, rey de Babilonia, y no se someta a él Castigaré a esa nación con guerra, hambre y peste, declara el Señor, hasta que deje que Nabucodonosor la destruya por completo.

And it has come to pass, the nation and the kingdom that does not serve him—Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon—and that which does not put its neck into the yoke of the king of Babylon, with sword, and with famine, and with pestilence, I lay a charge on that nation—a declaration of YHWH—until I consume them by his hand.

9 No escuches a tus profetas, a tus adivinos, a tus intérpretes de sueños, a tus médiums o a tus magos cuando te digan: “No servirás al rey de Babilonia”.

And you, you do not listen to your prophets, and to your diviners, and to your dreamers, and to your observers of clouds, and to your sorcerers who are speaking to you, saying, You do not serve the king of Babylon—

10 Ellos te están profetizando una mentira que te llevará a la expulsión de tu país. Te expulsaré y morirás.

For they are prophesying falsehood to you, so as to remove you far from your ground, and I have driven you out, and you have perished.

11 Pero a la nación que se someta al rey de Babilonia y le sirva, la dejaré en su propia tierra, para que la cultive y viva en ella, declara el Señor.

And the nation that causes its neck to enter into the yoke of the king of Babylon, and has served him—I have left it on its ground—a declaration of YHWH—and it has tilled it, and dwelt in it.”

12 El mismo mensaje le di a Sedequías, rey de Judá: Sométete al rey de Babilonia; sírvele a él y a su pueblo, y vive.

And I have spoken to Zedekiah king of Judah according to all these words, saying, “Cause your necks to enter into the yoke of the king of Babylon, and serve him and his people, and live.

13 ¿Por qué han de morir tú y tu pueblo a causa de la guerra, el hambre y la peste, como el Señor ha dicho que traería contra cualquier nación que no sirva al rey de Babilonia?

Why do you die, you and your people, by sword, by famine, and by pestilence, as YHWH has spoken concerning the nation that does not serve the king of Babylon?

14 No escuches los mensajes de los profetas que dicen: “No servirás al rey de Babilonia”, porque te están profetizando una mentira.

And you do not listen to the words of the prophets who are speaking to you, saying, You do not serve the king of Babylon—for they are prophesying falsehood to you.

15 Yo no los envié, declara el Señor, y sin embargo están dando falsas profecías en mi nombre. Por eso los expulsaré y morirán, ustedes y los profetas que les profetizan.

For I have not sent them—a declaration of YHWH—and they are prophesying falsely in My Name, so as to drive you out, and you have perished, you and the prophets who are prophesying to you.”

16 Entonces dije a los sacerdotes y a todo el pueblo: Esto es lo que dice el Señor: No escuchen las palabras de sus profetas que les profetizan diciendo: “¡Miren! Los objetos del Templo del Señor volverán pronto de Babilonia”. Te están profetizando una mentira.

And to the priests, and to all this people, I have spoken, saying, “Thus said YHWH: You do not listen to the words of your prophets, who are prophesying to you, saying, Behold, the vessels of the house of YHWH are now brought back from Babylon in haste, for they are prophesying falsehood to you.

17 No los escuches. Sirvan al rey de Babilonia y vivan. ¿Por qué debe ser destruida esta ciudad?

You do not listen to them; serve the king of Babylon and live! Why is this city a ruin?

18 Si realmente son profetas y tienen la palabra del Señor consigo, deberían estar suplicando ahora al Señor Todopoderoso que lo que queda en el Templo del Señor, en el palacio del rey de Judá y en Jerusalén, no sea llevado a Babilonia.

And if they are prophets, and if a word of YHWH is with them, let them now intercede with YHWH of Hosts, so that the vessels that are left in the house of YHWH, and [in] the house of the king of Judah, and in Jerusalem, have not gone into Babylon.

19 Esto dice el Señor Todopoderoso sobre las columnas, el mar de bronce, las bases y el resto de los objetos que quedan en Jerusalén:

For thus said YHWH of Hosts concerning the pillars, and concerning the sea, and concerning the bases, and concerning the rest of the vessels that are left in this city,

20 todo lo que Nabucodonosor, rey de Babilonia, no se llevó cuando tomó a Joaquín hijo de Joacim, rey de Judá, al exilio de Jerusalén a Babilonia, junto con todos los nobles de Judá y de Jerusalén.

that Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon has not taken, in his removing Jeconiah son of Jehoiakim king of Judah from Jerusalem to Babylon with all the nobles of Judah and Jerusalem,

21 De nuevo, esto es lo que dice el Señor Todopoderoso, el Dios de Israel, sobre los objetos que quedaron en el Templo del Señor, en el palacio del rey de Judá y en Jerusalén:

surely thus said YHWH of Hosts, God of Israel, concerning the vessels that are left of the house of YHWH, and of the house of the king of Judah, and [in] Jerusalem:

22 Serán llevados a Babilonia y se quedarán allí hasta el momento en que vuelva a verlos, declara el Señor. Sólo entonces los traeré de vuelta para que vuelvan a estar en Jerusalén.

They are brought to Babylon, and there they are until the day of My inspecting them—a declaration of YHWH; then I have brought them up, and have brought them back to this place.”
