| BSB 1 This is the word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD when King Zedekiah sent to him Pashhur son of Malchijah and the priest Zephaniah son of Maaseiah. They said, | NBVE 1 Entonces el rey Sedequías envió a Pasur, hijo de Malquías, y a Sofonías, hijo de Maseías, a Jeremías y le rogaron: ―Pídele al Señor que nos ayude, porque Nabucodonosor, rey de Babilonia, nos ha declarado la guerra. |
| BSB 2 “Please inquire of the LORD on our behalf, since Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon is waging war against us. Perhaps the LORD will perform for us something like all His past wonders, so that Nebuchadnezzar will withdraw from us.” | NBVE 2 Quizá el Señor quiera ayudarnos y realice un gran milagro como en el pasado y obligue a Nabucodonosor a retirar sus ejércitos invasores. |
| BSB 3 But Jeremiah answered, “You are to tell Zedekiah that | NBVE 3–4 Jeremías replicó: ―Vuelvan al rey Sedequías y díganle que el Señor Dios de Israel dice: Yo haré que sus armas sean inútiles contra el rey de Babilonia y los soldados caldeos que los asedian. En efecto, traeré a sus enemigos hasta el corazón mismo de esta ciudad, |
| BSB 4 this is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: ‘I will turn against you the weapons of war in your hands, with which you are fighting the king of Babylon and the Chaldeans who besiege you outside the wall, and I will assemble their forces in the center of this city. | |
| BSB 5 And I Myself will fight against you with an outstretched hand and a mighty arm, with anger, fury, and great wrath. | NBVE 5 y yo mismo pelearé contra ustedes, porque estoy muy enojado. |
| BSB 6 I will strike down the residents of this city, both man and beast. They will die in a terrible plague.’ | NBVE 6 Y sobre esta ciudad enviaré una espantosa plaga, y morirán personas y animales. |
| BSB 7 ‘After that,’ declares the LORD, ‘I will hand over Zedekiah king of Judah, his officers, and the people in this city who survive the plague and sword and famine, to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon and to their enemies who seek their lives. He will put them to the sword; he will not spare them or show pity or compassion.’ | NBVE 7 Y finalmente entregaré al propio rey Sedequías y a todo el resto que haya quedado en la ciudad en poder del rey Nabucodonosor de Babilonia, para que los mate sin piedad ni misericordia. |
| BSB 8 Furthermore, you are to tell this people that this is what the LORD says: ‘Behold, I set before you the way of life and the way of death. | NBVE 8 Dile a este pueblo lo que dice el Señor: Les doy la posibilidad de que elijan entre la vida y la muerte. |
| BSB 9 Whoever stays in this city will die by sword and famine and plague, but whoever goes out and surrenders to the Chaldeans who besiege you will live; he will retain his life like a spoil of war. | NBVE 9 O permanecer en Jerusalén y morir —degollados por sus enemigos, muertos de hambre y enfermedad— o salir y entregarse al ejército caldeo, y vivir. |
| BSB 10 For I have set My face against this city to bring disaster and not good, declares the LORD. It will be delivered into the hand of the king of Babylon, who will destroy it with fire.’ | NBVE 10 Porque le he dado la espalda a esta ciudad. Enemigo y no amigo suyo seré, dice el Señor. Será tomada por el rey de Babilonia, quien la mandará incendiar hasta dejarla convertida en cenizas. |
| BSB 11 Moreover, tell the house of the king of Judah to hear the word of the LORD. | NBVE 11 Y al rey de Judá el Señor le dice: |
| BSB 12 O house of David, this is what the LORD says: ‘Administer justice every morning, and rescue the victim of robbery from the hand of his oppressor, or My wrath will go forth like fire and burn with no one to extinguish it because of their evil deeds. | NBVE 12 Estoy listo a juzgarte por el mal que estás cometiendo. ¡Pronto! ¡Haz justicia a los que juzgas! Comienza a hacer lo justo antes que mi terrible enojo caiga sobre ti como un fuego que nadie puede apagar. |
| BSB 13 Behold, I am against you who dwell above the valley, atop the rocky plateau—declares the LORD—you who say, “Who can come against us? Who can enter our dwellings?” | NBVE 13 Yo pelearé contra esta ciudad de Jerusalén, que se ufana diciendo: «Estamos a salvo, aquí nadie puede tocarnos». |
| BSB 14 I will punish you as your deeds deserve, declares the LORD. I will kindle a fire in your forest that will consume everything around you.’” | NBVE 14 Yo mismo te destruiré por haber cometido tantas maldades, dice el Señor. Destruiré todo, incluso encenderé un fuego en los bosques que quemará cuanto halle a su paso, hasta lo que se encuentra en la periferia. |
