Hosea 8
1 Put the ram’s horn to your lips! An eagle looms over the house of the LORD, because the people have transgressed My covenant and rebelled against My law.
¡Pon la trompeta en tus labios! ¡Como águila viene contra la Casa de Yavé, porque violaron mi Pacto y se rebelaron contra mi Ley!
2 Israel cries out to Me, “O our God, we know You!”
A Mí clamarán: ¡ʼElohim mío, nosotros te conocemos!
3 But Israel has rejected good; an enemy will pursue him.
Pero Israel rechazó lo bueno, el enemigo lo perseguirá.
4 They set up kings, but not by Me. They make princes, but without My approval. With their silver and gold they make themselves idols, to their own destruction.
Designaron reyes sin intervención mía. Constituyeron gobernantes sin mi aprobación. Con su plata y con su oro hicieron ídolos para su destrucción.
5 He has rejected your calf, O Samaria. My anger burns against them. How long will they be incapable of innocence?
Él rechaza tu becerro, oh Samaria. Mi ira se encendió contra ellos. ¿Hasta cuándo son incapaces de lograr purificación?
6 For this thing is from Israel— a craftsman made it, and it is not God. It will be broken to pieces, that calf of Samaria.
Porque de Israel es aun esto. El artífice lo hizo, no es ʼElohim. ¡Será destrozado el becerro de Samaria!
7 For they sow the wind, and they shall reap the whirlwind. There is no standing grain; what sprouts fails to yield flour. Even if it should produce, the foreigners would swallow it up.
Sembraron viento y cosecharán tempestad. No tendrán cosecha, ni la espiga producirá harina. Y si la produce, extraños la comerán.
8 Israel is swallowed up! Now they are among the nations like a worthless vessel.
Israel será devorado. Será una vasija inútil entre las naciones.
9 For they have gone up to Assyria like a wild donkey on its own. Ephraim has hired lovers.
Porque fueron a Asiria y Efraín como asno solitario. j Alquiló amantes.
10 Though they hire allies among the nations, I will now round them up, and they will begin to diminish under the oppression of the king of princes.
Pero aunque alquilen entre las naciones, ahora los reuniré y serán afligidos un poco por la carga del rey de los príncipes.
11 Though Ephraim multiplied the altars for sin, they became his altars for sinning.
Efraín multiplicó los altares para pecar. Para él son altares para pecar.
12 Though I wrote for them the great things of My law, they regarded them as something strange.
Le escribí las grandezas de mi Ley. Fueron recibidas como cosa extraña.
13 Though they offer sacrifices as gifts to Me, and though they eat the meat, the LORD does not accept them. Now He will remember their iniquity and punish their sins: They will return to Egypt.
Aunque en los sacrificios de mis ofrendas sacrifican y coman carne, Yavé no las aceptará. Se acuerda de su iniquidad y castigará sus pecados. Volverán a Egipto.
14 Israel has forgotten his Maker and built palaces; Judah has multiplied its fortified cities. But I will send fire upon their cities, and it will consume their citadels.
Porque Israel olvidó a su Hacedor y edificó palacios. Judá multiplicó ciudades fortificadas. Pero Yo encenderé un fuego en sus ciudades que consumirá sus palacios.
