Jeremías 42

Nueva Biblia Viva

de Biblica
1 Johanán, los capitanes del ejército y todo el pueblo, grandes y pequeños, acudieron a Jeremías 2 y dijeron: ―¡Por favor, ora por nosotros ante el SEÑOR tu Dios, porque como bien sabes, somos sólo un minúsculo resto de lo que fuimos! 3 ¡Suplícale al SEÑOR tu Dios que nos muestre qué debemos hacer y a dónde ir! 4 ―Muy bien —respondió Jeremías—. Le preguntaré y les comunicaré lo que el SEÑOR diga; nada les ocultaré. 5 Entonces le dijeron a Jeremías: ―Caiga sobre nosotros la maldición de Dios si rehusamos obedecer en todo lo que nos mande hacer. 6 Nos guste o no, obedeceremos al SEÑOR nuestro Dios, ante quien te enviamos con nuestra súplica. Porque si le obedecemos, todo nos saldrá bien. 7 Diez días después el SEÑOR dio su respuesta a Jeremías. 8 Él entonces llamó a Johanán, a los capitanes de su ejército y a todo el pueblo, grandes y pequeños, 9 y les dijo: ―Ustedes me enviaron ante el SEÑOR, el Dios de Israel, con su petición, y esta es su respuesta: 10 Quédense en esta tierra. Si así hacen, yo los bendeciré y nadie les hará daño, porque me duele todo lo que he tenido que castigarlos. 11 No le teman más al rey de Babilonia, pues yo estoy con ustedes para librarlos de su poder. 12 Y tendré misericordia de ustedes volviéndolo a él benigno hacia ustedes, de modo que no los mate ni los someta a esclavitud, sino que los dejará permanecer aquí en la tierra de ustedes. 13-14 »Pero si rehúsan obedecer al SEÑOR y dicen: “Aquí no nos quedaremos”, e insisten en ir a Egipto en donde piensan estar libres de la guerra, el hambre y las alarmas, 15 entonces esto es lo que el SEÑOR responde, oh sobrevivientes de Judá. El SEÑOR de los ejércitos, el Dios de Israel, dice: Si insisten en ir a Egipto, 16 la guerra y el hambre que temen irán pisándoles los talones y allá les alcanzarán. 17 Esa es la suerte que espera a cada uno de los que insistan en ir a vivir en Egipto. Sí, morirán por herida de espada, de hambre y enfermedad. Ninguno de ustedes escapará al mal que traeré sobre ustedes allá. 18 »Porque el SEÑOR de los ejércitos, el Dios de Israel, dice: Así como mi ira y mi furia cayeron sobre el pueblo de Jerusalén, así caerá sobre ustedes cuando entren en Egipto. Los recibirán con disgusto y odio, los maldecirán y afrentarán, y jamás volverán a ver su patria. 19 Porque el SEÑOR ha dicho: ¡Oh sobrevivientes de Judá, no vayan a Egipto! Tengan presente que hoy nuevamente se lo estoy advirtiendo. 20 Si van, pagarán con la vida. Porque sin sinceridad me enviaron a consultar al SEÑOR y dijeron: “Dinos lo que el SEÑOR mande y lo haremos”. 21 Y hoy les he dicho exactamente lo que el SEÑOR dijo, pero no quieren obedecer hoy como no quisieron obedecer en el pasado. 22 Tengan desde ahora por seguro que morirán por herida de espada, de hambre y enfermedad en Egipto a donde insisten en ir».

Jeremías 42

English Standard Version

de Crossway
1 Then all the commanders of the forces, and Johanan the son of Kareah and Jezaniah the son of Hoshaiah, and all the people from the least to the greatest, came near (Jer 6:13; Jer 40:8; Jer 40:13; Jer 41:11; Jer 43:2) 2 and said to Jeremiah the prophet, “Let our plea for mercy come before you, and pray to the Lord your God for us, for all this remnant—because we are left with but a few, as your eyes see us— (Lv 26:22; 1 S 7:8; 1 S 12:19; Is 37:4; Jer 36:7; Jer 40:15; Jer 42:20) 3 that the Lord your God may show us the way we should go, and the thing that we should do.” (Esd 8:21; Jer 37:17) 4 Jeremiah the prophet said to them, “I have heard you. Behold, I will pray to the Lord your God according to your request, and whatever the Lord answers you I will tell you. I will keep nothing back from you.” (Nm 22:18; 1 S 3:18) 5 Then they said to Jeremiah, “May the Lord be a true and faithful witness against us if we do not act according to all the word with which the Lord your God sends you to us. (Gn 31:50; Jue 11:10; Jer 42:21; Ap 1:5; Ap 3:14) 6 Whether it is good or bad, we will obey the voice of the Lord our God to whom we are sending you, that it may be well with us when we obey the voice of the Lord our God.” (Jer 7:23) 7 At the end of ten days the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah. (Ez 3:16) 8 Then he summoned Johanan the son of Kareah and all the commanders of the forces who were with him, and all the people from the least to the greatest, (Jer 42:1) 9 and said to them, “Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel, to whom you sent me to present your plea for mercy before him: (Jer 42:2) 10 If you will remain in this land, then I will build you up and not pull you down; I will plant you, and not pluck you up; for I relent of the disaster that I did to you. (Gn 6:6; Dt 32:36; Jer 18:8; Jer 24:6) 11 Do not fear the king of Babylon, of whom you are afraid. Do not fear him, declares the Lord, for I am with you, to save you and to deliver you from his hand. (Jer 22:25; Jer 30:10; Jer 41:18; Ro 8:31) 12 I will grant you mercy, that he may have mercy on you and let you remain in your own land. (Neh 1:11) 13 But if you say, ‘We will not remain in this land,’ disobeying the voice of the Lord your God (Jer 43:4; Jer 44:16) 14 and saying, ‘No, we will go to the land of Egypt, where we shall not see war or hear the sound of the trumpet or be hungry for bread, and we will dwell there,’ (Jer 4:19; Jer 37:21; Jer 41:17) 15 then hear the word of the Lord, O remnant of Judah. Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: If you set your faces to enter Egypt and go to live there, (Dt 17:16; Jer 42:19; Jer 44:1; Jer 44:12; Jer 44:27) 16 then the sword that you fear shall overtake you there in the land of Egypt, and the famine of which you are afraid shall follow close after you to Egypt, and there you shall die. (Jer 42:22; Jer 44:12; Ez 11:8) 17 All the men who set their faces to go to Egypt to live there shall die by the sword, by famine, and by pestilence. They shall have no remnant or survivor from the disaster that I will bring upon them. (Lm 2:22) 18 “For thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: As my anger and my wrath were poured out on the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so my wrath will be poured out on you when you go to Egypt. You shall become an execration, a horror, a curse, and a taunt. You shall see this place no more. (Jer 7:20; Jer 18:16) 19 The Lord has said to you, O remnant of Judah, ‘Do not go to Egypt.’ Know for a certainty that I have warned you this day (Jer 42:14; Jer 43:2; Ez 2:5) 20 that you have gone astray at the cost of your lives. For you sent me to the Lord your God, saying, ‘Pray for us to the Lord our God, and whatever the Lord our God says, declare to us and we will do it.’ (Jer 42:2; Jer 42:3) 21 And I have this day declared it to you, but you have not obeyed the voice of the Lord your God in anything that he sent me to tell you. (Jer 42:5) 22 Now therefore know for a certainty that you shall die by the sword, by famine, and by pestilence in the place where you desire to go to live.” (Jer 42:16)
