Promesas de restauración

33 Vino la palabra del Señor a Jeremías por segunda vez, mientras él estaba aún detenido[a] en el patio de la guardia, diciendo(A): Así dice el Señor que hizo la tierra[b], el Señor que la formó para establecerla; el Señor es su nombre(B): «Clama a mí, y yo te responderé(C) y te revelaré cosas grandes e inaccesibles(D), que tú no conoces(E)». Porque así dice el Señor, Dios de Israel, acerca de las casas de esta ciudad y acerca de las casas de los reyes(F) de Judá que han sido derribadas para hacer defensas contra los terraplenes de asalto y contra la espada(G): «Mientras ellos vienen a pelear contra los caldeos(H) y a llenarlas con los cadáveres de los hombres que herí en mi ira y en mi furor, pues yo había escondido mi rostro de esta ciudad a causa de toda su maldad(I), he aquí, yo le traeré salud y sanidad; los sanaré(J) y les revelaré abundancia de paz(K) y de verdad. Restauraré el bienestar[c] de Judá y el bienestar[d] de Israel(L) y los reedificaré como eran al principio(M). Los limpiaré de toda la maldad que cometieron contra mí, y perdonaré todas las iniquidades con que pecaron contra mí y con las que se rebelaron contra mí(N). Y la ciudad(O) será para mí un nombre de gozo, de alabanza y de gloria ante todas las naciones de la tierra(P), que oirán de todo el bien que yo le hago(Q), y temerán y temblarán a causa de todo el bien y de toda la paz que yo le doy[e](R)».

10 Así dice el Señor: «En este lugar, del cual decís vosotros: “Es una desolación, sin hombres y sin animales”, en las ciudades de Judá y en las calles de Jerusalén que están desoladas, sin hombres, sin habitantes(S) y sin animales(T), se oirá de nuevo 11 voz de gozo y voz de alegría(U), la voz del novio y la voz de la novia, la voz de los que dicen:

“Dad gracias al Señor de los ejércitos,
porque el Señor es bueno,
porque para siempre es su misericordia(V)”;

y de los que traen ofrenda de acción de gracias(W) a la casa del Señor. Porque restauraré el bienestar[f] de esta[g] tierra como fueron al principio» —dice el Señor.

12 Así dice el Señor de los ejércitos: «En este lugar desolado, sin hombres y sin animales(X), y en todas sus ciudades, habrá de nuevo morada[h] de pastores que hagan descansar sus rebaños(Y). 13 En las ciudades de la región montañosa, en las ciudades de la llanura, en las ciudades del Neguev[i], en la tierra de Benjamín, en los alrededores de Jerusalén y en las ciudades de Judá(Z), volverán a pasar las ovejas bajo las manos del que las cuenta(AA)» —declara el Señor.

14 «He aquí, vienen días» —declara el Señor(AB)— «en que cumpliré la buena palabra que he hablado(AC) a la casa de Israel y a la casa de Judá. 15 En aquellos días y en aquel tiempo haré brotar de David un Renuevo justo, y Él hará juicio y justicia(AD) en la tierra(AE). 16 En aquellos días estará a salvo Judá, y Jerusalén morará segura, y este es el nombre con el cual será llamada: el Señor, justicia nuestra(AF)». 17 Porque así dice el Señor: «Nunca le faltará a David[j] quien se siente sobre el trono de la casa de Israel(AG); 18 y a los sacerdotes levitas(AH) nunca les faltará[k] quien en presencia mía ofrezca holocausto, queme ofrendas de cereal y prepare sacrificios todos los días(AI)».

19 Y vino palabra del Señor a Jeremías, diciendo: 20 Así dice el Señor: «Si pudierais romper mi pacto con el día y mi pacto con la noche, de modo que el día y la noche(AJ) no vinieran a su tiempo, 21 entonces también se podría romper mi pacto con mi siervo David(AK), y él no tendría hijo para reinar sobre su trono con los sacerdotes levitas, mis ministros. 22 Como no se puede contar el ejército del cielo, ni se puede medir la arena del mar, así multiplicaré la descendencia[l](AL) de mi siervo David(AM) y de los levitas(AN) que me sirven».

23 Y vino palabra del Señor a Jeremías, diciendo: 24 ¿No has observado lo que este pueblo ha hablado, diciendo: «Las dos familias que el Señor escogió, las ha desechado(AO)»? Desprecian a mi pueblo(AP), ya no son una nación(AQ) ante sus ojos[m]. 25 Así dice el Señor: «(AR)Si no permanece mi pacto con el día y con la noche(AS), y si no he establecido las leyes[n] del cielo y de la tierra, 26 entonces[o] desecharé la descendencia[p](AT) de Jacob y de mi siervo David, para no tomar de[q] su descendencia[r](AU) quien gobierne sobre la descendencia[s](AV) de Abraham, de Isaac y de Jacob. Pero yo restauraré su bienestar[t] y tendré de ellos misericordia(AW)».

Promise of Restoration

33 While Jeremiah was still confined(A) in the courtyard(B) of the guard, the word of the Lord came to him a second time:(C) “This is what the Lord says, he who made the earth,(D) the Lord who formed it and established it—the Lord is his name:(E) ‘Call(F) to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable(G) things you do not know.’ For this is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says about the houses in this city and the royal palaces of Judah that have been torn down to be used against the siege(H) ramps(I) and the sword in the fight with the Babylonians[a]: ‘They will be filled with the dead bodies of the people I will slay in my anger and wrath.(J) I will hide my face(K) from this city because of all its wickedness.

“‘Nevertheless, I will bring health and healing to it; I will heal(L) my people and will let them enjoy abundant peace(M) and security. I will bring Judah(N) and Israel back from captivity[b](O) and will rebuild(P) them as they were before.(Q) I will cleanse(R) them from all the sin they have committed against me and will forgive(S) all their sins of rebellion against me. Then this city will bring me renown,(T) joy, praise(U) and honor(V) before all nations on earth that hear of all the good things I do for it; and they will be in awe and will tremble(W) at the abundant prosperity and peace I provide for it.’

10 “This is what the Lord says: ‘You say about this place, “It is a desolate waste, without people or animals.”(X) Yet in the towns of Judah and the streets of Jerusalem that are deserted,(Y) inhabited by neither people nor animals, there will be heard once more 11 the sounds of joy and gladness,(Z) the voices of bride and bridegroom, and the voices of those who bring thank offerings(AA) to the house of the Lord, saying,

“Give thanks to the Lord Almighty,
    for the Lord is good;(AB)
    his love endures forever.”(AC)

For I will restore the fortunes(AD) of the land as they were before,(AE)’ says the Lord.

12 “This is what the Lord Almighty says: ‘In this place, desolate(AF) and without people or animals(AG)—in all its towns there will again be pastures for shepherds to rest their flocks.(AH) 13 In the towns of the hill(AI) country, of the western foothills and of the Negev,(AJ) in the territory of Benjamin, in the villages around Jerusalem and in the towns of Judah, flocks will again pass under the hand(AK) of the one who counts them,’ says the Lord.

14 “‘The days are coming,’ declares the Lord, ‘when I will fulfill the good promise(AL) I made to the people of Israel and Judah.

15 “‘In those days and at that time
    I will make a righteous(AM) Branch(AN) sprout from David’s line;(AO)
    he will do what is just and right in the land.
16 In those days Judah will be saved(AP)
    and Jerusalem will live in safety.(AQ)
This is the name by which it[c] will be called:(AR)
    The Lord Our Righteous Savior.’(AS)

17 For this is what the Lord says: ‘David will never fail(AT) to have a man to sit on the throne of Israel, 18 nor will the Levitical(AU) priests(AV) ever fail to have a man to stand before me continually to offer burnt offerings, to burn grain offerings and to present sacrifices.(AW)’”

19 The word of the Lord came to Jeremiah: 20 “This is what the Lord says: ‘If you can break my covenant with the day(AX) and my covenant with the night, so that day and night no longer come at their appointed time,(AY) 21 then my covenant(AZ) with David my servant—and my covenant with the Levites(BA) who are priests ministering before me—can be broken and David will no longer have a descendant to reign on his throne.(BB) 22 I will make the descendants of David my servant and the Levites who minister before me as countless(BC) as the stars in the sky and as measureless as the sand on the seashore.’”

23 The word of the Lord came to Jeremiah: 24 “Have you not noticed that these people are saying, ‘The Lord has rejected the two kingdoms[d](BD) he chose’? So they despise(BE) my people and no longer regard them as a nation.(BF) 25 This is what the Lord says: ‘If I have not made my covenant with day and night(BG) and established the laws(BH) of heaven and earth,(BI) 26 then I will reject(BJ) the descendants of Jacob(BK) and David my servant and will not choose one of his sons to rule over the descendants of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. For I will restore their fortunes[e](BL) and have compassion(BM) on them.’”

33 Moreover the word of the Lord came unto Jeremiah the second time, while he was yet shut up in the court of the prison, saying,

Thus saith the Lord the maker thereof, the Lord that formed it, to establish it; the Lord is his name;

Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and show thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not.

For thus saith the Lord, the God of Israel, concerning the houses of this city, and concerning the houses of the kings of Judah, which are thrown down by the mounts, and by the sword;

They come to fight with the Chaldeans, but it is to fill them with the dead bodies of men, whom I have slain in mine anger and in my fury, and for all whose wickedness I have hid my face from this city.

Behold, I will bring it health and cure, and I will cure them, and will reveal unto them the abundance of peace and truth.

And I will cause the captivity of Judah and the captivity of Israel to return, and will build them, as at the first.

And I will cleanse them from all their iniquity, whereby they have sinned against me; and I will pardon all their iniquities, whereby they have sinned, and whereby they have transgressed against me.

And it shall be to me a name of joy, a praise and an honour before all the nations of the earth, which shall hear all the good that I do unto them: and they shall fear and tremble for all the goodness and for all the prosperity that I procure unto it.

10 Thus saith the Lord; Again there shall be heard in this place, which ye say shall be desolate without man and without beast, even in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem, that are desolate, without man, and without inhabitant, and without beast,

11 The voice of joy, and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride, the voice of them that shall say, Praise the Lord of hosts: for the Lord is good; for his mercy endureth for ever: and of them that shall bring the sacrifice of praise into the house of the Lord. For I will cause to return the captivity of the land, as at the first, saith the Lord.

12 Thus saith the Lord of hosts; Again in this place, which is desolate without man and without beast, and in all the cities thereof, shall be an habitation of shepherds causing their flocks to lie down.

13 In the cities of the mountains, in the cities of the vale, and in the cities of the south, and in the land of Benjamin, and in the places about Jerusalem, and in the cities of Judah, shall the flocks pass again under the hands of him that telleth them, saith the Lord.

14 Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that I will perform that good thing which I have promised unto the house of Israel and to the house of Judah.

15 In those days, and at that time, will I cause the Branch of righteousness to grow up unto David; and he shall execute judgment and righteousness in the land.

16 In those days shall Judah be saved, and Jerusalem shall dwell safely: and this is the name wherewith she shall be called, The Lord our righteousness.

17 For thus saith the Lord; David shall never want a man to sit upon the throne of the house of Israel;

18 Neither shall the priests the Levites want a man before me to offer burnt offerings, and to kindle meat offerings, and to do sacrifice continually.

19 And the word of the Lord came unto Jeremiah, saying,

20 Thus saith the Lord; If ye can break my covenant of the day, and my covenant of the night, and that there should not be day and night in their season;

21 Then may also my covenant be broken with David my servant, that he should not have a son to reign upon his throne; and with the Levites the priests, my ministers.

22 As the host of heaven cannot be numbered, neither the sand of the sea measured: so will I multiply the seed of David my servant, and the Levites that minister unto me.

23 Moreover the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah, saying,

24 Considerest thou not what this people have spoken, saying, The two families which the Lord hath chosen, he hath even cast them off? thus they have despised my people, that they should be no more a nation before them.

25 Thus saith the Lord; If my covenant be not with day and night, and if I have not appointed the ordinances of heaven and earth;

26 Then will I cast away the seed of Jacob and David my servant, so that I will not take any of his seed to be rulers over the seed of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob: for I will cause their captivity to return, and have mercy on them.
