Jeremías 15
Traducción en lenguaje actual
Los cuatro castigos
15 Dios me dijo:
«Jeremías, aleja de mí a los israelitas. Diles que se vayan. ¡Yo no voy a perdonarlos! No lo haría, ni aunque sus antepasados, Moisés y Samuel, me lo pidieran. 2 Y si acaso te preguntan a dónde ir, respóndeles:
“Los que merecen la muerte, irán a la muerte;
los que merecen la guerra, morirán en la guerra;
los que merecen el hambre, morirán de hambre;
los que merecen el destierro, irán al destierro”.
3-4 »Les voy a mandar cuatro castigos diferentes: primero, morirán en la guerra; luego los arrastrarán los perros; además, los devorarán las aves del cielo; y finalmente los destrozarán las fieras del campo. Esto lo haré por culpa de Manasés hijo de Ezequías. No me he olvidado de lo que este rey de Judá hizo en Jerusalén. ¡Yo haré que todos los reinos de la tierra se asusten al verlos! Te juro que así será».
Morirán los habitantes de Jerusalén
5-6 Dios dijo a su pueblo:
«Jerusalén, Jerusalén,
me rechazaste; me traicionaste.
¿Quién va a llorar por ti?
¿Quién va a tenerte compasión?
¿Quién va a desear que te vaya bien?
Yo estoy cansado ya
de tenerte compasión,
así que te atacaré y te destruiré;
7 te arrojaré fuera de la ciudad,
como si fueras paja en el viento.
¡Voy a dejarte sin habitantes
porque no quisiste volverte a mí!
8 Habrá tantas viudas en el pueblo,
como arena hay en el mar;
¡a plena luz del día destruiré
a las madres de hijos jóvenes!
De repente enviaré contra ellas
la angustia y el terror.
9 Las que hayan tenido muchos hijos
se desmayarán y perderán la vida.
Quedarán humilladas y en vergüenza,
pues la brillante luz del día
se les volverá densa oscuridad.
¡Yo dejaré que sus enemigos
maten a los que queden con vida!
Les juro que así será».
Lamento de Jeremías
10 Jeremías dijo:
«¡Sufro mucho, madre mía!
¡Mejor no hubiera yo nacido!
A nadie le hice daño,
pero todos me maldicen
y me acusan de rebelde.
11 »Dios prometió protegerme
en momentos difíciles,
y hacer que mis enemigos
me pidieran compasión».
Esclavizados en un país ajeno
12 Dios le dijo a su pueblo:
«No hay quien pueda vencer
a los ejércitos de Asiria y Babilonia.
13 Ustedes han pecado tanto
que yo les entregaré a sus enemigos
todas sus riquezas y tesoros.
14 Estoy tan enojado con ustedes
que los quemaré como el fuego.
Los haré esclavos de sus enemigos
en un país que no conocen».
Queja de Jeremías
15 Jeremías dijo:
«Dios mío, tú lo sabes todo;
tú bien sabes que, por ti,
me insultan a todas horas.
¡Acuérdate de mí, y ven a ayudarme!
¡No te quedes cruzado de brazos
y castiga a los que me persiguen,
antes de que me maten!
16 »Todopoderoso Dios de Israel,
cuando tú me hablaste,
tomé en serio tu mensaje.
Mi corazón se llenó de alegría
al escuchar tus palabras,
porque yo soy tuyo.
17 »Yo no ando de fiesta en fiesta,
ni me interesa divertirme.
Prefiero estar solo, porque estoy contigo
y comparto tu odio por el pecado.
18 ¿Por qué tengo, entonces,
que sufrir este dolor constante?
¿Por qué no sanan mis heridas?
Realmente, me decepcionas;
eres, para mí, como un arroyo seco;
¡como una fuente sin agua!»
Dios acompaña a Jeremías
19 Dios me contestó:
«Yo soy el Dios de Israel.
Si te vuelves a mí,
yo calmaré tu dolor
y podrás de nuevo servirme.
Si dejas de hablar tonterías,
y comienzas a anunciar
lo que realmente vale la pena,
entonces tú serás mi profeta.
No le hagas caso al pueblo;
son ellos quienes deben escucharte.
20-21 »Yo haré que seas para este pueblo
como un fuerte muro de bronce.
Los malvados pelearán contra ti,
pero no te podrán vencer,
porque yo estaré contigo
para librarte de su poder.
¡Yo te salvaré de esos tiranos!
Te juro que así lo haré».

The Lord Will Not Relent
15 Then the Lord said to me, (A)“Though (B)Moses (C)and Samuel (D)stood before me, yet my heart would not turn toward this people. Send them out of my sight, and let them go! 2 And when they ask you, ‘Where shall we go?’ you shall say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord:
(E)“‘Those who are for pestilence, to pestilence,
and those who are for the sword, to the sword;
those who are for famine, to famine,
and those who are for captivity, to captivity.’
3 (F)I will appoint over them four kinds of destroyers, declares the Lord: the sword to kill, the dogs to tear, and (G)the birds of the air (H)and the beasts of the earth to devour and destroy. 4 (I)And I will make them a horror to all the kingdoms of the earth because of what (J)Manasseh the son of Hezekiah, king of Judah, did in Jerusalem.
5 (K)“Who will have pity on you, O Jerusalem,
(L)or who will grieve for you?
Who will turn aside
to ask about your welfare?
6 (M)You have rejected me, declares the Lord;
(N)you keep going backward,
so I have stretched out my hand against you and destroyed you—
(O)I am weary of relenting.
7 (P)I have winnowed them with (Q)a winnowing fork
in the gates of the land;
I have bereaved them; I have destroyed my people;
(R)they did not turn from their ways.
8 I have made their widows more in number
than (S)the sand of the seas;
I have brought against the mothers of young men
a destroyer at noonday;
I have made anguish and terror
fall upon them suddenly.
9 (T)She who bore seven has grown feeble;
(U)she has fainted away;
(V)her sun went down while it was yet day;
she has been shamed and disgraced.
And the rest of them I will give to the sword
before their enemies,
declares the Lord.”
Jeremiah's Complaint
10 (W)Woe is me, my mother, that you bore me, a man of strife and contention to the whole land! (X)I have not lent, nor have I borrowed, yet all of them curse me. 11 The Lord said, “Have I not[a] set you free for their good? Have I not pleaded for you before the enemy in the time of trouble and in the time of distress? 12 Can one break iron, iron (Y)from the north, and bronze?
13 (Z)“Your wealth and your treasures I will give as (AA)spoil, without price, for all your sins, throughout all your territory. 14 I will make you serve your enemies (AB)in a land that you do not know, (AC)for in my anger a fire is kindled that shall burn forever.”
15 (AD)O Lord, you know;
(AE)remember me and visit me,
(AF)(AG)and take vengeance for me on my persecutors.
In your forbearance take me not away;
(AH)know that (AI)for your sake I bear reproach.
16 Your words were found, (AJ)and I ate them,
and (AK)your words became to me a joy
and the delight of my heart,
(AL)for I am called by your name,
O Lord, God of hosts.
17 (AM)I did not sit in the company of revelers,
nor did I rejoice;
(AN)I sat alone, because your hand was upon me,
for you had filled me with indignation.
18 Why is my pain unceasing,
(AO)my wound incurable,
refusing to be healed?
Will you be to me (AP)like a deceitful brook,
like waters that fail?
19 Therefore thus says the Lord:
(AQ)“If you return, I will restore you,
and you shall (AR)stand before me.
If you utter what is precious, and not what is worthless,
you shall be as my mouth.
They shall turn to you,
but you shall not turn to them.
20 (AS)And I will make you to this people
a fortified wall of bronze;
they will fight against you,
(AT)but they shall not prevail over you,
(AU)for I am with you
to save you and deliver you,
declares the Lord.
21 (AV)I will deliver you out of the hand of the wicked,
and redeem you from the grasp of (AW)the ruthless.”

New International Version
Jeremiah 15
New International Version
15 Then the Lord said to me: “Even if Moses(A) and Samuel(B) were to stand before me, my heart would not go out to this people.(C) Send them away from my presence!(D) Let them go! 2 And if they ask you, ‘Where shall we go?’ tell them, ‘This is what the Lord says:
“‘Those destined for death, to death;
those for the sword, to the sword;(E)
those for starvation, to starvation;(F)
those for captivity, to captivity.’(G)
3 “I will send four kinds of destroyers(H) against them,” declares the Lord, “the sword(I) to kill and the dogs(J) to drag away and the birds(K) and the wild animals to devour and destroy.(L) 4 I will make them abhorrent(M) to all the kingdoms of the earth(N) because of what Manasseh(O) son of Hezekiah king of Judah did in Jerusalem.
5 “Who will have pity(P) on you, Jerusalem?
Who will mourn for you?
Who will stop to ask how you are?
6 You have rejected(Q) me,” declares the Lord.
“You keep on backsliding.
So I will reach out(R) and destroy you;
I am tired of holding back.(S)
7 I will winnow(T) them with a winnowing fork
at the city gates of the land.
I will bring bereavement(U) and destruction on my people,(V)
for they have not changed their ways.(W)
8 I will make their widows(X) more numerous
than the sand of the sea.
At midday I will bring a destroyer(Y)
against the mothers of their young men;
suddenly I will bring down on them
anguish and terror.(Z)
9 The mother of seven will grow faint(AA)
and breathe her last.(AB)
Her sun will set while it is still day;
she will be disgraced(AC) and humiliated.
I will put the survivors to the sword(AD)
before their enemies,”(AE)
declares the Lord.
10 Alas, my mother, that you gave me birth,(AF)
a man with whom the whole land strives and contends!(AG)
I have neither lent(AH) nor borrowed,
yet everyone curses(AI) me.
11 The Lord said,
“Surely I will deliver you(AJ) for a good purpose;
surely I will make your enemies plead(AK) with you
in times of disaster and times of distress.
12 “Can a man break iron—
iron from the north(AL)—or bronze?
13 “Your wealth(AM) and your treasures
I will give as plunder,(AN) without charge,(AO)
because of all your sins
throughout your country.(AP)
14 I will enslave you to your enemies
in[a] a land you do not know,(AQ)
for my anger will kindle a fire(AR)
that will burn against you.”
15 Lord, you understand;
remember me and care for me.
Avenge me on my persecutors.(AS)
You are long-suffering(AT)—do not take me away;
think of how I suffer reproach for your sake.(AU)
16 When your words came, I ate(AV) them;
they were my joy and my heart’s delight,(AW)
for I bear your name,(AX)
Lord God Almighty.
17 I never sat(AY) in the company of revelers,
never made merry with them;
I sat alone because your hand(AZ) was on me
and you had filled me with indignation.
18 Why is my pain unending
and my wound grievous and incurable?(BA)
You are to me like a deceptive brook,
like a spring that fails.(BB)
19 Therefore this is what the Lord says:
“If you repent, I will restore you
that you may serve(BC) me;
if you utter worthy, not worthless, words,
you will be my spokesman.(BD)
Let this people turn to you,
but you must not turn to them.
20 I will make you a wall(BE) to this people,
a fortified wall of bronze;
they will fight against you
but will not overcome(BF) you,
for I am with you
to rescue and save you,”(BG)
declares the Lord.
21 “I will save(BH) you from the hands of the wicked(BI)
and deliver(BJ) you from the grasp of the cruel.”(BK)
