Hosea 10
1 Israel is a branching vine, full of fruit; as his fruit is increased, so the number of his altars is increased; as the land is fair, so they have made fair pillars.
La vid vacía a Israel, haciendo fruto para él: conforme a la multiplicación de su fruto, multiplicó altares: conforme a la bondad de su tierra, mejoraron sus estatuas.
2 Their mind is taken away; now they will be made waste: he will have their altars broken down, he will give their pillars to destruction.
Apartóse su corazón. Ahora serán convencidos: el quebrantará sus altares, asolará sus estatuas.
3 Now, truly, they will say, We have no king, we have no fear of the Lord; and the king, what is he able to do for us?
Porque ahora dirán: No tenemos rey, porque no temimos a Jehová; y el rey, ¿qué nos hará?
4 Their words are foolish; they make agreements with false oaths, so punishment will come up like a poison-plant in a ploughed field.
Hablaron palabras jurando en vano, haciendo alianza; y el juicio florecerá en los surcos del campo como ajenjo.
5 The people of Samaria will be full of fear because of the ox of Beth-aven; its people will have sorrow for it, and its priests will give cries of grief for its glory, for the glory has gone in flight.
Por las becerras de Bet-aven serán atemorizados los moradores de Samaria; porque su pueblo lamentará por su causa; y sus sacerdotes se alegrarán a causa del, por su gloria que será perdida.
6 And they will take it to Assyria and give it to the great king; shame will come on Ephraim, and Israel will be shamed because of its image.
Y aun también será él llevado en Asiria en presente al rey de Jareb: Efraím será avergonzado, Israel será confuso de su consejo.
7 As for Samaria, her king is cut off, like mist on the water.
De Samaria fue cortado su rey, como la espuma sobre las haces de las aguas.
8 And the high places of Aven, the sin of Israel, will come to destruction; thorns and waste plants will come up on their altars; they will say to the mountains, Be a cover over us; and to the hills, Come down on us.
Y los altares de Avén serán destruidos, el pecado de Israel: crecerá sobre sus altares espino y cardo, y dirán a los montes: Cubrídnos; y a los collados: Caéd sobre nosotros.
9 O Israel, you have done evil from the days of Gibeah; there they took up their position, so that the fighting against the children of evil might not overtake them in Gibeah.
Desde los días de Gabaa has pecado, o! Israel: allí estuvieron: no los tomó la batalla en Gabaa contra los inicuos.
10 I will come and give them punishment; and the peoples will come together against them when I give them the reward of their two sins.
Yo los castigaré como deseo; y pueblos se juntarán sobre ellos cuando serán atados en sus dos surcos.
11 And Ephraim is a trained cow, taking pleasure in crushing the grain; but I have put a yoke on her fair neck; I will put a horseman on the back of Ephraim; Judah will be working the plough, Jacob will be turning up the earth.
Efraím, becerra domada amadora del trillar: mas yo pasaré sobre la hermosura de su pescuezo: yo haré llevar yugo a Efraím, arará Judá, quebrará sus terrones Jacob.
12 Put in the seed of righteousness, get in your grain in mercy, let your unploughed earth be turned up: for it is time to make search for the Lord, till he comes and sends righteousness on you like rain.
Sembrád para vosotros a justicia, segád para vosotros a misericordia, arád para vosotros arada; porque el tiempo es de buscar a Jehová hasta que venga, y os enseñe justicia.
13 You have been ploughing sin, you have got in a store of evil, the fruit of deceit has been your food: for you put faith in your way, in the number of your men of war.
Habéis arado impiedad, segasteis iniquidad, comeréis fruto de mentira; porque confiaste en tu camino, en la multitud de tus fuertes.
14 So a great outcry will go up from among your people, and all your strong places will be broken, as Beth-arbel was broken by Shalman in the day of war, as the mother was broken on the rocks with her children.
Por tanto en tus pueblos se levantará alboroto, y todas tus fortalezas serán destruidas, como en la deshecha de Salmana en Bet-arbel el día de la batalla: la madre fue arrojada sobre los hijos.
15 So will Beth-el do to you because of your evil-doing; at dawn will the king of Israel be cut off completely.
Así hará a vosotros Bet-el por la maldad de vuestra maldad: en la mañana cortando será cortado el rey de Israel.
