Пророштво о Вавилону
50 Реч ГОСПОДЊА преко пророка Јеремије о Вавилону и земљи Халдејаца:
2 »Објавите и разгласите међу народима,
подигните барјак и разгласите,
ништа не прећуткујте, него реците:
‚Вавилон ће бити освојен,
Бел ће бити извргнут срамоти,
Мардук разбијен.
Његови ликови биће извргнути срамоти
и његови идоли поразбијани.‘
3 »Напашће га народ са севера
и опустошити му земљу,
па нико неће у њој живети –
побећи ће и човек и животиња.
4 »Тих дана и у то време«, говори ГОСПОД, »народ Израела и народ Јуде заједно ће, у сузама, ићи и тражити ГОСПОДА, свога Бога. 5 Питаће за пут за Сион и окренути лице према њему. Доћи ће и обавезати се ГОСПОДУ вечним савезом, који неће бити заборављен.
6 »Мој народ је био стадо оваца изгубљено.
Њихови пастири одвели их на странпутицу,
па су лутали по горама,
ишли од горе до брда
и своје пландиште заборавили.
7 Ко год их је налазио, прождирао их је.
Њихови непријатељи су говорили:
‚Нисмо ми криви,
јер они су згрешили против ГОСПОДА,
Пашњака праведности,
против ГОСПОДА, Наде њихових праотаца.‘
8 »Бежите из Вавилона!
Идите из земље Халдејаца
и будите као овнови предводници.
9 Јер, ево, подстаћи ћу и довести на Вавилон
савез великих народа из северне земље.
Они ће се против њега сврстати
у бојне редове и освојити га.
Стреле ће им бити као вешти ратници
који се не враћају празних руку.
10 Тако ће Халдеја постати плен.
Сви који је буду пљачкали
узеће што им драго«,
говори ГОСПОД.
11 »Зато што се радујете и ликујете,
ви који пљачкате моје наследство,
зато што поскакујете као јуница када врше
и њиштите као пастуви,
12 ваша мајка силно ће се стидети,
биће осрамоћена она која вас је родила.
Последња ће бити међу народима
– пустиња, осушена земља, пустош.
13 Због гнева ГОСПОДЊЕГ
неће бити настањена,
него сасвим пуста.
Ко год прође крај Вавилона
згражаваће се и цоктати од чуда
због несрећа које су га задесиле.
14 »Сврстајте се у бојне редове око Вавилона.
Гађајте га, стрелци, не штедите стреле,
јер против ГОСПОДА је згрешио.
15 Бојне покличе извикујте
са свих страна.
Предаје се,
стубови му падају,
зидине руше.
Осветите се Вавилону,
јер то је освета ГОСПОДЊА.
Како је он чинио,
тако ви учините њему.
16 Истребите из Вавилона сејача
и онога који српом замахује у време жетве.
Пред угњетачким мачем
нека се свако врати своме народу,
нека побегне у своју земљу.
17 »Израел је стадо раштркано
које су растерали лавови.
Први га је прождро цар Асирије,
а после му Навуходоносор кости поломи.«
18 Стога овако каже ГОСПОД над војскама, Бог Израелов:
»Казнићу цара Вавилона и његову земљу
као што казних цара Асирије.
19 А Израел ћу вратити на његов пашњак,
па ће пáсти по Кармелу и Башану
и досита се најести
на брдима Ефрема и Гилада.
20 Тих дана и у то време«,
говори ГОСПОД,
»тражиће Израелову кривицу,
али је неће бити,
и Јудине грехе,
али их неће наћи.
Јер, ја ћу опростити онима које поштедим.
21 »Нападни земљу Мератајим
и житеље Пекода.
Гони их, убијај и докраја затри«,
говори ГОСПОД.
»Учини све што сам ти заповедио.
22 »У земљи се чују звуци битке
и уништења великог.
23 Како је поломљен и скршен
маљ целога света!
Како грозна пустош постаде Вавилон
међу народима!
24 Замку ти поставих, Вавилоне,
и ти се, и не знајући, ухвати у њу.
Нађен си и ухваћен,
јер си се ГОСПОДУ супротстављао.
25 ГОСПОД отвори своју оружарницу
и извади оружје свога гнева,
јер Господ ГОСПОД над војскама,
има посла у земљи Халдејаца.
26 Навалите на њу са свих страна.
Амбаре јој развалите,
као купове жита је наслажите,
докраја је уништите.
Нека од ње ништа не остане.
27 Све јунце јој покољите –
нека сиђу на клање.
Тешко њима,
јер дошао је њихов дан,
време да буду кажњени.
28 Чујте оне што су побегли
и умакли из Вавилона
где говоре на Сиону
како се ГОСПОД, наш Бог, осветио,
осветио за свој Храм.
29 »Позовите стрелце на Вавилон,
све који одапињу лук.
Утаборите се свуда око њега,
нека нико из њега не умакне.
Вратите му према његовим делима.
Како је он чинио,
тако ви учините њему.
Јер, пркосио је ГОСПОДУ,
Свецу Израеловом.
30 Зато ће његови младићи
попадати по улицама,
сви његови ратници
погинути тога дана«,
говори ГОСПОД.
31 »Ево ме против тебе, Бахати«,
говори Господ ГОСПОД над војскама,
»јер дошао је твој дан,
време да будеш кажњен.
32 Бахати ће посрнути и пасти,
а никога неће бити да га подигне.
Запалићу ватру у његовим градовима
која ће прогутати све око њега.«
33 Овако каже ГОСПОД над војскама:
»Народ Израелов је потлачен,
а тако и народ Јудин.
Сви који их засужњише,
чврсто их држе
и неће да их пусте.
34 Али јак је њихов Откупитељ,
ГОСПОД над војскама му је име.
Он ће њихову парницу преузети,
да мир донесе њиховој земљи,
а немир житељима Вавилона.
35 »Мач на Халдејце«,
говори ГОСПОД,
»на житеље Вавилона
и његове службенике и мудраце!
36 Мач на његове лажне пророке –
они ће постати безумни.
Мач на његове ратнике –
њих ће обузети ужас.
37 Мач на његове коње и борна кола
и све његове стране плаћенике –
они ће постати жене.
Мач на његове ризнице –
оне ће бити опљачкане.
38 Мач на његове воде –
оне ће пресушити.
Јер, то је земља идолâ,
идолâ који залудеше народ.
39 Зато ће се тамо населити
пустињска створења и хијене
и настанити се нојеви.
Никада више неће бити насељена,
нити ће ко у њој живети
кроз сва поколења.
40 Као што је Бог уништио Содому и Гомору
и суседне градове«,
говори ГОСПОД,
»па тамо нико не живи,
тако ни овде неће живети човек.
41 »Ево, војска стиже са севера –
велик народ и много царева
дигоше се са крајева земље.
42 Стрелама и луковима наоружани,
били су окрутни и немилосрдни.
Чули су се као море које хучи
док су на својим коњима јахали.
У бојном поретку дођоше да те нападну,
Кћери вавилонска.
43 Цар Вавилона чу вест о њима,
па му руке занемоћаше.
Обузе га тескоба,
бол као у жене у трудовима.
44 Као лав који из јорданских честара
излази на сочне пашњаке,
зачас ћу истерати Вавилонце из њихове земље.
Поставићу над Вавилоном кога ја изаберем.
Јер, ко је мени раван?
Ко сме мене да изазове?
Који пастир може да ми се супротстави?«
45 Стога чујте шта је ГОСПОД наумио против Вавилона,
шта је одлучио против земље Халдејаца:
одвући ће младе јагањце,
у пустош претворити њихов пашњак.
46 Од звука освајања Вавилона
земља ће задрхтати;
крик ће му се чути међу народима.

King James Version
50 The word that the Lord spake against Babylon and against the land of the Chaldeans by Jeremiah the prophet.
2 Declare ye among the nations, and publish, and set up a standard; publish, and conceal not: say, Babylon is taken, Bel is confounded, Merodach is broken in pieces; her idols are confounded, her images are broken in pieces.
3 For out of the north there cometh up a nation against her, which shall make her land desolate, and none shall dwell therein: they shall remove, they shall depart, both man and beast.
4 In those days, and in that time, saith the Lord, the children of Israel shall come, they and the children of Judah together, going and weeping: they shall go, and seek the Lord their God.
5 They shall ask the way to Zion with their faces thitherward, saying, Come, and let us join ourselves to the Lord in a perpetual covenant that shall not be forgotten.
6 My people hath been lost sheep: their shepherds have caused them to go astray, they have turned them away on the mountains: they have gone from mountain to hill, they have forgotten their restingplace.
7 All that found them have devoured them: and their adversaries said, We offend not, because they have sinned against the Lord, the habitation of justice, even the Lord, the hope of their fathers.
8 Remove out of the midst of Babylon, and go forth out of the land of the Chaldeans, and be as the he goats before the flocks.
9 For, lo, I will raise and cause to come up against Babylon an assembly of great nations from the north country: and they shall set themselves in array against her; from thence she shall be taken: their arrows shall be as of a mighty expert man; none shall return in vain.
10 And Chaldea shall be a spoil: all that spoil her shall be satisfied, saith the Lord.
11 Because ye were glad, because ye rejoiced, O ye destroyers of mine heritage, because ye are grown fat as the heifer at grass, and bellow as bulls;
12 Your mother shall be sore confounded; she that bare you shall be ashamed: behold, the hindermost of the nations shall be a wilderness, a dry land, and a desert.
13 Because of the wrath of the Lord it shall not be inhabited, but it shall be wholly desolate: every one that goeth by Babylon shall be astonished, and hiss at all her plagues.
14 Put yourselves in array against Babylon round about: all ye that bend the bow, shoot at her, spare no arrows: for she hath sinned against the Lord.
15 Shout against her round about: she hath given her hand: her foundations are fallen, her walls are thrown down: for it is the vengeance of the Lord: take vengeance upon her; as she hath done, do unto her.
16 Cut off the sower from Babylon, and him that handleth the sickle in the time of harvest: for fear of the oppressing sword they shall turn every one to his people, and they shall flee every one to his own land.
17 Israel is a scattered sheep; the lions have driven him away: first the king of Assyria hath devoured him; and last this Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon hath broken his bones.
18 Therefore thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I will punish the king of Babylon and his land, as I have punished the king of Assyria.
19 And I will bring Israel again to his habitation, and he shall feed on Carmel and Bashan, and his soul shall be satisfied upon mount Ephraim and Gilead.
20 In those days, and in that time, saith the Lord, the iniquity of Israel shall be sought for, and there shall be none; and the sins of Judah, and they shall not be found: for I will pardon them whom I reserve.
21 Go up against the land of Merathaim, even against it, and against the inhabitants of Pekod: waste and utterly destroy after them, saith the Lord, and do according to all that I have commanded thee.
22 A sound of battle is in the land, and of great destruction.
23 How is the hammer of the whole earth cut asunder and broken! how is Babylon become a desolation among the nations!
24 I have laid a snare for thee, and thou art also taken, O Babylon, and thou wast not aware: thou art found, and also caught, because thou hast striven against the Lord.
25 The Lord hath opened his armoury, and hath brought forth the weapons of his indignation: for this is the work of the Lord God of hosts in the land of the Chaldeans.
26 Come against her from the utmost border, open her storehouses: cast her up as heaps, and destroy her utterly: let nothing of her be left.
27 Slay all her bullocks; let them go down to the slaughter: woe unto them! for their day is come, the time of their visitation.
28 The voice of them that flee and escape out of the land of Babylon, to declare in Zion the vengeance of the Lord our God, the vengeance of his temple.
29 Call together the archers against Babylon: all ye that bend the bow, camp against it round about; let none thereof escape: recompense her according to her work; according to all that she hath done, do unto her: for she hath been proud against the Lord, against the Holy One of Israel.
30 Therefore shall her young men fall in the streets, and all her men of war shall be cut off in that day, saith the Lord.
31 Behold, I am against thee, O thou most proud, saith the Lord God of hosts: for thy day is come, the time that I will visit thee.
32 And the most proud shall stumble and fall, and none shall raise him up: and I will kindle a fire in his cities, and it shall devour all round about him.
33 Thus saith the Lord of hosts; The children of Israel and the children of Judah were oppressed together: and all that took them captives held them fast; they refused to let them go.
34 Their Redeemer is strong; the Lord of hosts is his name: he shall throughly plead their cause, that he may give rest to the land, and disquiet the inhabitants of Babylon.
35 A sword is upon the Chaldeans, saith the Lord, and upon the inhabitants of Babylon, and upon her princes, and upon her wise men.
36 A sword is upon the liars; and they shall dote: a sword is upon her mighty men; and they shall be dismayed.
37 A sword is upon their horses, and upon their chariots, and upon all the mingled people that are in the midst of her; and they shall become as women: a sword is upon her treasures; and they shall be robbed.
38 A drought is upon her waters; and they shall be dried up: for it is the land of graven images, and they are mad upon their idols.
39 Therefore the wild beasts of the desert with the wild beasts of the islands shall dwell there, and the owls shall dwell therein: and it shall be no more inhabited for ever; neither shall it be dwelt in from generation to generation.
40 As God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah and the neighbour cities thereof, saith the Lord; so shall no man abide there, neither shall any son of man dwell therein.
41 Behold, a people shall come from the north, and a great nation, and many kings shall be raised up from the coasts of the earth.
42 They shall hold the bow and the lance: they are cruel, and will not shew mercy: their voice shall roar like the sea, and they shall ride upon horses, every one put in array, like a man to the battle, against thee, O daughter of Babylon.
43 The king of Babylon hath heard the report of them, and his hands waxed feeble: anguish took hold of him, and pangs as of a woman in travail.
44 Behold, he shall come up like a lion from the swelling of Jordan unto the habitation of the strong: but I will make them suddenly run away from her: and who is a chosen man, that I may appoint over her? for who is like me? and who will appoint me the time? and who is that shepherd that will stand before me?
45 Therefore hear ye the counsel of the Lord, that he hath taken against Babylon; and his purposes, that he hath purposed against the land of the Chaldeans: Surely the least of the flock shall draw them out: surely he shall make their habitation desolate with them.
46 At the noise of the taking of Babylon the earth is moved, and the cry is heard among the nations.

Judgment on Babylon
50 The word that the Lord spoke concerning (A)Babylon, concerning the land of the Chaldeans, (B)by Jeremiah the prophet:
2 “Declare among the nations and proclaim,
set up a banner and proclaim,
conceal it not, and say:
(C)‘Babylon is taken,
(D)Bel is put to shame,
Merodach is dismayed.
(E)Her images are put to shame,
her idols are dismayed.’
3 “For (F)out of the north a nation has come up against her, (G)which shall make her land a desolation, and none shall dwell in it; (H)both man and beast shall flee away.
4 (I)“In those days and in that time, declares the Lord, (J)the people of Israel and the people of Judah shall come together, (K)weeping as they come, and they (L)shall seek the Lord their God. 5 (M)They shall ask the way to Zion, with faces turned toward it, (N)saying, ‘Come, let us join ourselves to the Lord in an (O)everlasting covenant that will never be forgotten.’
6 (P)“My people have been lost sheep. (Q)Their shepherds have led them astray, turning them away on the mountains. From mountain to hill they have gone. They have forgotten their fold. 7 All who found them have devoured them, (R)and their enemies have said, ‘We are not guilty, for (S)they have sinned against the Lord, (T)their habitation of righteousness, the Lord, (U)the hope of their fathers.’
8 (V)“Flee from the midst of Babylon, (W)and go out of the land of the Chaldeans, and be as male goats before the flock. 9 For behold, I am stirring up and bringing against Babylon (X)a gathering of great nations, from the north country. And they shall array themselves against her. From there she shall be taken. Their arrows are like a skilled warrior who does not return empty-handed. 10 (Y)Chaldea shall be plundered; all who plunder her shall be sated, declares the Lord.
11 (Z)“Though you rejoice, though you exult,
O plunderers of my heritage,
though you frolic like a heifer in the pasture,
and neigh like stallions,
12 your mother shall be utterly shamed,
and she who bore you shall be disgraced.
Behold, she shall be the last of the nations,
(AA)a wilderness, a dry land, and a desert.
13 (AB)Because of the wrath of the Lord she shall not be inhabited
but shall be an utter desolation;
(AC)everyone who passes by Babylon shall be appalled,
(AD)and hiss because of all her wounds.
14 (AE)Set yourselves in array against Babylon all around,
(AF)all you who bend the bow;
shoot at her, spare no arrows,
(AG)for she has sinned against the Lord.
15 (AH)Raise a shout against her all around;
she has surrendered;
her bulwarks have fallen;
(AI)her walls are thrown down.
For (AJ)this is the vengeance of the Lord:
take vengeance on her;
(AK)do to her as she has done.
16 Cut off from Babylon the sower,
and the one who handles the sickle in time of harvest;
(AL)because of the sword of the oppressor,
(AM)every one shall turn to his own people,
and every one shall flee to his own land.
17 (AN)“Israel is a hunted sheep (AO)driven away by lions. (AP)First the king of Assyria (AQ)devoured him, and now at last (AR)Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon (AS)has gnawed his bones. 18 Therefore, thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: Behold, (AT)I am bringing punishment on the king of Babylon and his land, (AU)as I punished the king of Assyria. 19 (AV)I will restore Israel to his pasture, and (AW)he shall feed on (AX)Carmel and in (AY)Bashan, and his desire shall be satisfied on the hills of Ephraim and in (AZ)Gilead. 20 In those days and in that time, declares the Lord, (BA)iniquity shall be sought in Israel, and there shall be none, and sin in Judah, and none shall be found, for (BB)I will pardon those whom I leave as a remnant.
21 “Go up against the land of Merathaim,[a]
and against the inhabitants of Pekod.[b]
Kill, (BC)and devote them to destruction,[c]
declares the Lord,
and do all that I have commanded you.
22 (BD)The noise of battle is in the land,
and great destruction!
23 (BE)How the hammer of the whole earth
is cut down and broken!
(BF)How Babylon (BG)has become
a horror among the nations!
24 (BH)I set a snare for you and you were taken, O Babylon,
and (BI)you did not know it;
you were found and caught,
because you opposed the Lord.
25 The Lord has opened his armory
and brought out (BJ)the weapons of his wrath,
for the Lord God of hosts has a work to do
in the land of the Chaldeans.
26 Come against her from every quarter;
open her granaries;
(BK)pile her up like heaps of grain, and devote her to destruction;
let nothing be left of her.
27 Kill all (BL)her bulls;
let them go down to the slaughter.
Woe to them, for their day has come,
(BM)the time of their punishment.
28 “A voice! They (BN)flee and escape from the land of Babylon, (BO)to declare in Zion the vengeance of the Lord our God, vengeance for (BP)his temple.
29 (BQ)“Summon archers against Babylon, all those who bend the bow. (BR)Encamp around her; let no one escape. (BS)Repay her according to her deeds; do to her according to all that she has done. For she has (BT)proudly defied the Lord, the Holy One of Israel. 30 (BU)Therefore her young men shall fall in her squares, and all her soldiers shall be destroyed on that day, declares the Lord.
31 “Behold, I am against you, O (BV)proud one,
declares the Lord God of hosts,
(BW)for your day has come,
the time when I will punish you.
32 (BX)The proud one shall stumble and fall,
with none to raise him up,
(BY)and I will kindle a fire in his cities,
and it will devour all that is around him.
33 “Thus says the Lord of hosts: (BZ)The people of Israel are oppressed, and the people of Judah with them. All who took them captive have held them fast; (CA)they refuse to let them go. 34 (CB)Their Redeemer is strong; (CC)the Lord of hosts is his name. (CD)He will surely plead their cause, that he may give rest to the earth, but unrest to the inhabitants of Babylon.
35 “A sword against the Chaldeans, declares the Lord,
and against the inhabitants of Babylon,
and against (CE)her officials and her (CF)wise men!
36 A sword against the diviners,
that they may become fools!
A sword against her (CG)warriors,
that they may be destroyed!
37 A sword against her horses and against her chariots,
and against all (CH)the foreign troops in her midst,
that (CI)they may become women!
(CJ)A sword against all her treasures,
that they may be plundered!
38 (CK)A drought against her waters,
that they may be dried up!
(CL)For it is a land of images,
and they are mad over idols.
39 (CM)“Therefore wild beasts shall dwell with hyenas in Babylon,[d] and ostriches shall dwell in her. She shall never again have people, nor be inhabited for all generations. 40 (CN)As when God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah and their neighboring cities, declares the Lord, (CO)so no man shall dwell there, and no son of man shall sojourn in her.
41 (CP)“Behold, a people comes from the north;
a mighty nation and many kings
are stirring from the farthest parts of the earth.
42 They lay hold of bow and spear;
they are cruel and have no mercy.
The sound of them is like the roaring of the sea;
they ride on horses,
arrayed as a man for battle
against you, O daughter of Babylon!
43 “The king of Babylon heard the report of them,
and his hands fell helpless;
anguish seized him,
pain as of a woman in labor.
44 (CQ)“Behold, like a lion coming up from the thicket of the Jordan against a perennial pasture, I will suddenly make them run away from her, and I will appoint over her whomever I choose. For who is like me? Who will summon me? What shepherd (CR)can stand before me? 45 Therefore hear (CS)the plan that the Lord has made against Babylon, (CT)and the purposes that he has formed against the land of the Chaldeans: (CU)Surely the little ones of their flock shall be dragged away; surely their fold shall be appalled at their fate. 46 (CV)At the sound of the capture of Babylon the earth shall tremble, and her cry shall be heard among the nations.”

Mensaje para Babilonia(A)
50 La palabra del Señor acerca de Babilonia, el país de los babilonios,[a] vino al profeta Jeremías:
2 «¡Anuncien y proclamen entre las naciones!
¡Proclámenlo, levanten un estandarte!
No oculten nada, sino digan:
“¡Babilonia será conquistada!
¡Bel quedará en vergüenza!
¡Marduc quedará aterrado!
¡Sus imágenes quedan humilladas
y sus ídolos, aterrados!”.
3 Porque la ataca una nación del norte,
que dejará su tierra desolada.
Las personas y los animales saldrán huyendo
y no habrá nadie que la habite.
4 »En aquellos días, en aquel tiempo,
la gente de Israel y de Judá
irá llorando en busca del Señor su Dios»,
afirma el Señor.
5 «Preguntarán por el camino a Sión
y hacia allá se encaminarán.
Vendrán y se aferrarán al Señor
en un pacto eterno,
que ya no olvidarán.
6 »Mi pueblo ha sido como un rebaño perdido;
sus pastores lo han descarriado,
lo han hecho vagar por las montañas.
Ha ido de colina en colina
y se ha olvidado de su redil.
7 Todos los que lo encuentran lo devoran.
“No somos culpables —decían sus enemigos—,
porque ellos pecaron contra el Señor;
¡él es pastizal de justicia,
esperanza de sus antepasados!”.
8 »¡Huyan de Babilonia;
abandonen el país de los babilonios![b]
Sean como los machos cabríos que guían al rebaño.
9 Porque yo movilizo contra Babilonia
una alianza de grandes naciones del norte.
Se alistarán contra ella
y desde el norte será conquistada.
Sus flechas son como expertos guerreros
que no vuelven con las manos vacías.
10 Babilonia[c] será saqueada,
y todos sus saqueadores se saciarán»,
afirma el Señor.
11 «¡Ustedes saquean mi heredad,
y se alegran y regocijan!
¡Saltan como terneras en la pradera,
relinchan como sementales!
12 Pero la madre de ustedes quedará grandemente humillada;
la que les dio la vida quedará en vergüenza.
Será la última de las naciones;
se convertirá en desierto, tierra árida y llanura seca.
13 Por el enojo del Señor no será habitada,
sino que quedará totalmente en ruinas.
Todo el que pase por Babilonia
se asombrará y burlará al ver todas sus heridas.
14 »¡Tomen posiciones alrededor de Babilonia,
todos los que tensan el arco!
¡Dispárenle, no escatimen flechas,
porque ha pecado contra el Señor!
15 Griten en torno de ella:
¡Se ha rendido, cayeron sus torres,
se derrumbaron sus muros!
¡Esta es la venganza del Señor!
¡Vénguense de ella!
¡Háganle lo mismo que hizo a otros!
16 Exterminen al que siembra en Babilonia,
y al que maneja la hoz en la cosecha.
Ante la espada del opresor,
cada uno retorna a su pueblo,
cada cual huye a su propia tierra.
17 »Israel es como un rebaño descarriado,
acosado por los leones.
Primero lo devoró el rey de Asiria
y luego Nabucodonosor, rey de Babilonia,
le quebró todos los huesos».
18 Por eso, así dice el Señor de los Ejércitos, el Dios de Israel:
«Castigaré al rey de Babilonia y a su tierra
como castigué al rey de Asiria.
19 Haré que Israel vuelva a su prado
y que se alimente en el Carmelo y en Basán.
Su apetito quedará saciado
en las montañas de Efraín y Galaad.
20 En aquellos días, en aquel tiempo, se buscará la iniquidad de Israel,
pero ya no se encontrará.
Buscarán los pecados de Judá,
pero ya no se hallarán,
porque yo perdonaré a los que deje como remanente»,
afirma el Señor.
21 «¡Ataca el territorio de Meratayin
y a los que viven en Pecod!
¡Mátalos, destrúyelos por completo!»,
afirma el Señor.
«¡Cumple con todas mis órdenes!
22 ¡En el territorio hay estruendo de guerra
y de impresionante destrucción!
23 ¡Cómo ha sido quebrado y derribado
el martillo de toda la tierra!
¡Babilonia ha quedado desolada
en medio de las naciones!
24 Te tendí una trampa, Babilonia, y en ella caíste
antes de que te dieras cuenta.
Fuiste sorprendida y capturada,
porque te opusiste al Señor.
25 El Señor ha abierto su arsenal,
y ha sacado las armas de su ira;
el Señor, Señor de los Ejércitos,
tiene una tarea que cumplir en el país de los babilonios[d]
26 ¡Atáquenla desde los confines de la tierra!
¡Abran sus graneros!
¡Amontónenla como a las gavillas!
¡Destrúyanla por completo!
¡Que no quede ningún remanente de ella!
27 ¡Maten a todos sus novillos!
¡Llévenlos al matadero!
¡Ay de ellos, pues les ha llegado el día,
el día de su castigo!
28 Se oye la voz de los fugitivos,
de los que escaparon de Babilonia;
vienen a anunciar en Sión
la venganza del Señor nuestro Dios,
la venganza por su Templo.
29 »Recluten contra Babilonia a los arqueros,
a todos los que tensan el arco;
acampen a su alrededor
y que no escape ninguno.
Retribúyanle según sus obras,
hagan con ella como hizo con otros.
Porque ella ha desafiado al Señor,
al Santo de Israel.
30 Por eso en aquel día caerán sus jóvenes en las calles
y perecerán todos sus soldados»,
afirma el Señor.
31 «Estoy contra ti, nación arrogante»,
afirma el Señor, el Señor de los Ejércitos;
«al fin ha llegado el día,
el día de tu castigo.
32 El arrogante tropezará, caerá
y no habrá quien lo ayude a levantarse.
Prenderé fuego a todas sus ciudades,
fuego que consumirá cuanto le rodea».
33 Así dice el Señor de los Ejércitos:
«Israel y Judá son pueblos oprimidos;
sus enemigos los tienen apresados,
no los dejan en libertad.
34 Pero su Redentor es fuerte,
su nombre es el Señor de los Ejércitos.
Con vigor defenderá su causa;
traerá descanso a su tierra,
pero perturbación a Babilonia.
35 »¡Muerte a[e] los babilonios!
¡Muerte a sus oficiales y sabios!»,
afirma el Señor.
36 «¡Muerte a sus falsos profetas!
¡Que pierdan la razón!
¡Muerte a sus guerreros!
¡Que queden aterrorizados!
37 ¡Muerte a sus caballos y carros!
¡Muerte a todos sus mercenarios!
¡Que se vuelvan unos cobardes!
¡Muerte a sus tesoros!
¡Que sean saqueados!
38 ¡Muerte a sus aguas!
¡Que queden secas!
Porque Babilonia es un país de ídolos,
de ídolos terribles que provocan la locura.
39 »Por eso las fieras del desierto vivirán allí con las hienas;
también los avestruces harán allí su morada.
Nunca más volverá a ser habitada;
quedará despoblada para siempre.
40 Será como cuando Dios destruyó a Sodoma y Gomorra
y a sus ciudades vecinas;
nadie volverá a habitar allí,
ningún ser humano vivirá en ella»,
afirma el Señor.
41 «¡Miren! Del norte viene un ejército;
desde los confines de la tierra
se moviliza una gran nación y muchos reyes.
42 Empuñan el arco y la lanza;
son crueles y no tienen compasión.
Lanzan gritos como bramidos del mar
y cabalgan sobre sus corceles.
¡Vienen contra ti, hija de Babilonia,
alineados para la batalla como un solo hombre!
43 El rey de Babilonia ha escuchado la noticia,
sus manos flaquean;
la angustia le domina
como si tuviera dolores de parto.
44 Como león que sale de la espesura del Jordán
hacia praderas de verdes pastos,
en un instante espantaré de su tierra a los de Babilonia.
¿Quién es el elegido que nombraré para esto?
Porque, ¿quién como yo?
¿Quién me puede desafiar?
¿Qué pastor se me puede oponer?».
45 Por eso, escuchen el plan que el Señor ha diseñado contra Babilonia;
escuchen lo que tiene planeado en contra del país de los babilonios:
Serán arrastrados los más pequeños del rebaño;
por causa de ellos, sus praderas quedarán asoladas.
46 Tiembla la tierra por la estruendosa caída de Babilonia;
resuenan sus gritos en medio de las naciones.
