Jeremia 20 | English Standard Version

Jeremiah Persecuted by Pashhur

1 Now Pashhur the priest, the son of Immer, who was chief officer in the house of the Lord, heard Jeremiah prophesying these things. 2 Then Pashhur beat Jeremiah the prophet, and put him in the stocks that were in the upper Benjamin Gate of the house of the Lord. 3 The next day, when Pashhur released Jeremiah from the stocks, Jeremiah said to him, “The Lord does not call your name Pashhur, but Terror on Every Side. 4 For thus says the Lord: Behold, I will make you a terror to yourself and to all your friends. They shall fall by the sword of their enemies while you look on. And I will give all Judah into the hand of the king of Babylon. He shall carry them captive to Babylon, and shall strike them down with the sword. 5 Moreover, I will give all the wealth of the city, all its gains, all its prized belongings, and all the treasures of the kings of Judah into the hand of their enemies, who shall plunder them and seize them and carry them to Babylon. 6 And you, Pashhur, and all who dwell in your house, shall go into captivity. To Babylon you shall go, and there you shall die, and there you shall be buried, you and all your friends, to whom you have prophesied falsely.” 7 O Lord, you have deceived me, and I was deceived; you are stronger than I, and you have prevailed. I have become a laughingstock all the day; everyone mocks me. 8 For whenever I speak, I cry out, I shout, “Violence and destruction!” For the word of the Lord has become for me a reproach and derision all day long. 9 If I say, “I will not mention him, or speak any more in his name,” there is in my heart as it were a burning fire shut up in my bones, and I am weary with holding it in, and I cannot. 10 For I hear many whispering. Terror is on every side! “Denounce him! Let us denounce him!” say all my close friends, watching for my fall. “Perhaps he will be deceived; then we can overcome him and take our revenge on him.” 11 But the Lord is with me as a dread warrior; therefore my persecutors will stumble; they will not overcome me. They will be greatly shamed, for they will not succeed. Their eternal dishonor will never be forgotten. 12 O Lord of hosts, who tests the righteous, who sees the heart and the mind,* let me see your vengeance upon them, for to you have I committed my cause. 13 Sing to the Lord; praise the Lord! For he has delivered the life of the needy from the hand of evildoers. 14 Cursed be the day on which I was born! The day when my mother bore me, let it not be blessed! 15 Cursed be the man who brought the news to my father, “A son is born to you,” making him very glad. 16 Let that man be like the cities that the Lord overthrew without pity; let him hear a cry in the morning and an alarm at noon, 17 because he did not kill me in the womb; so my mother would have been my grave, and her womb forever great. 18 Why did I come out from the womb to see toil and sorrow, and spend my days in shame?

Pasur

1 Pasur ben Imer, sacerdote que presidía como príncipe en la Casa de YHVH, oyó a Jeremías profetizar estas cosas. 2 Y Pasur hizo azotar al profeta Jeremías y lo puso en el cepo que estaba en la puerta alta de Benjamín, la cual conducía a la Casa de YHVH. 3 A la mañana siguiente, Pasur sacó a Jeremías del cepo; y Jeremías le dijo: YHVH no te llama con el nombre de Pasur, sino Magor-missabib. 4 Porque así dice YHVH: He aquí Yo te constituyo en terror para ti y todos tus amigos, y caerán por la espada de sus enemigos, y tus ojos lo verán: Entregaré a todo Judá en mano del rey de Babilonia, quien los llevará cautivos a Babilonia y los matará con la espada. 5 Entregaré asimismo todas las riquezas de esta ciudad, todos sus productos y bienes, y pondré en mano de sus enemigos todos los tesoros de los reyes de Judá, y los saquearán y los llevarán a Babilonia. 6 Y tú, Pasur, y todos los que habitan en tu casa iréis al cautiverio, y tú entrarás en Babilonia, y allí morirás, y allí serás sepultado, tú y todos tus amigos, a quienes profetizaste mentiras.

Lamento

7 Me sedujiste YHVH, y me dejé seducir. Fuiste más fuerte que yo, prevaleciste. Todo el día soy objeto de escarnio, Todos se burlan de mí, 8 Porque siempre que hablo, Que grito, que proclamo: ¡Violencia y destrucción!, La palabra de YHVH se me vuelve objeto de burla y oprobio todo el día. 9 Y si digo: No me acordaré más de Él, Ni hablaré más en su Nombre, Siento en mi corazón un fuego abrasador, Encerrado en mis huesos, Que me esfuerzo en contener, pero no puedo. 10 Oí a muchos susurrando: ¡Magor-missabib! ¡Denunciadlo, denunciémoslo! Aun mis hombres de confianza esperan que claudique; Dicen: Quizá sea engañado; Entonces prevaleceremos contra él y tomaremos nuestra venganza. 11 Pero YHVH está conmigo como poderoso gigante. Mis perseguidores tropezarán y no prevalecerán contra mí. Sentirán la confusión de su fracaso, Su vergüenza eterna, que jamás será olvidada. 12 ¡Oh YHVH Sebaot, que pruebas al justo, escudriñando los riñones y el corazón! Haz que vea tu venganza en ellos, Porque a ti he expuesto mi causa. 13 Cantad a YHVH, alabad a YHVH, Que libró el alma del pobre De mano del malvado. 14 ¡Maldito el día en que nací! ¡No sea bendecido el día en que mi madre me dio a luz! 15 Maldito el hombre que dio nuevas a mi padre, diciendo: ¡Te ha nacido un hijo varón!, Causándole gran alegría: 16 Sea tal hombre como las ciudades que destruyó YHVH sin apiadarse, Y oiga clamores por la mañana y gritos de alarma al mediodía, 17 Porque no me hizo morir en el seno materno, Para que mi madre fuera mi sepulcro, Y su seno una eterna preñez. 18 ¿Para qué salí del vientre para ver aflicción y dolor, Y acabar mis días en vergüenza?
