Hosea 2
1 Say to your brothers, Ammi; and to your sisters, Ruhamah.
Decid a vuestros hermanos «Ammí», y a vuestras hermanas «Ruhama».
2 Take up the cause against your mother, take it up, for she is not my wife, and I am not her husband; let her put away her loose ways from her face, and her false ways from between her breasts;
¡Acusad a vuestra madre, acusadla! Porque ella no es mi mujer, ni Yo soy su marido; aparte de su rostro sus fornicaciones y de su seno sus adulterios;
3 For fear that I may take away her robe from her, making her uncovered as in the day of her birth; making her like a waste place and a dry land, causing her death through need of water.
No sea que Yo la despoje, dejándola desnuda, y la ponga (tal como estaba) en el día de su nacimiento, y la haga semejante a un desierto, y la convierta en una tierra árida, y la mate de sed.
4 And I will have no mercy on her children, for they are the children of her loose ways.
No me compadeceré de sus hijos; porque son hijos de fornicación.
5 For their mother has been untrue; she who gave them birth has done things of shame, for she said, I will go after my lovers, who give me my bread and my water, my wool and my linen, my oil and my wine.
Pues su madre ha cometido fornicación; ha quedado sin honor la que los dio a luz; pues ella dijo: «Iré en pos de mis amantes, que son los que me dan mi pan y mi agua, mi lana y mi lino, mi aceite y mi bebida.»
6 For this cause I will put thorns in her road, building up a wall round her so that she may not go on her way.
Por eso, he aquí que voy a cerrar tu camino con zarzas; la cercaré con un muro para que no pueda hallar sus senderos.
7 And if she goes after her lovers she will not overtake them; if she makes search for them she will not see them; then will she say, I will go back to my first husband, for then it was better for me than now.
Irá en pos de sus amantes, pero no los alcanzará; los buscará y no los hallará. Luego dirá: «Iré y volveré a mi primer marido, pues entonces me iba mejor que ahora.»
8 For she had no knowledge that it was I who gave her the grain and the wine and the oil, increasing her silver and gold which they gave to the Baal.
No reconoció ella que Yo fui quien le di el trigo, el vino y el aceite, y le multipliqué la plata y el oro, empleado para Baal.
9 So I will take away again my grain in its time and my wine, and I will take away my wool and my linen with which her body might have been covered.
Por eso le quitaré mi trigo a su tiempo, y mi vino al tiempo señalado; y recobraré mi lana y mi lino con que cubre su desnudez.
10 And now I will make her shame clear before the eyes of her lovers, and no one will take her out of my hand.
Mas ahora descubriré sus vergüenzas a los ojos de sus amantes; y no habrá quien la libre de mi mano.
11 And I will put an end to all her joy, her feasts, her new moons, and her Sabbaths, and all her regular meetings.
Haré cesar toda su alegría, sus fiestas, sus novilunios y sus sábados, y todas sus solemnidades.
12 And I will make waste her vines and her fig-trees, of which she has said, These are the payments which my lovers have made to me; and I will make them a waste of trees, and the beasts of the field will take them for food.
Devastaré sus viñas y sus higueras, de las cuales ella decía: «Estas son el salario que me han dado mis amantes». Las convertiré en un matorral y las devorarán las bestias del campo.
13 And I will give her punishment for the days of the Baals, to whom she has been burning perfumes, when she made herself fair with her nose-rings and her jewels, and went after her lovers, giving no thought to me, says the Lord.
La castigaré por los días de los Baales a los cuales ella quemaba incienso, cuando adornándose con sus zarcillos y collares, y yendo en pos de sus amantes se olvidaba de Mí, dice Yahvé.
14 For this cause I will make her come into the waste land and will say words of comfort to her.
Por eso Yo la atraeré y la llevaré a la soledad y le hablaré al corazón.
15 And I will give her vine-gardens from there, and the valley of Achor for a door of hope; and she will give her answer there as in the days when she was young, and as in the time when she came up out of the land of Egypt.
Y desde allí le devolveré sus viñas, y el Valle de Acor como puerta de esperanza; y ella cantará allí, como en los días de su juventud, como el día en que subió de Egipto.
16 And in that day, says the Lord, you will say to me, Ishi; and you will never again give me the name of Baali;
En aquel día, dice Yahvé, me llamarás: «Señor mío», y no me llamarás ya: «Mi Baal».
17 For I will take away the names of the Baals out of her mouth, and never again will she say their names.
Pues quitaré, de su boca los nombres de los Baales, y nunca jamás serán mencionados por sus nombres.
18 And in that day I will make an agreement for them with the beasts of the field and the birds of heaven and the things which go low on the earth; I will put an end to the bow and the sword and war in all the land, and will make them take their rest in peace.
En aquel día haré en favor de ellos alianza con las fieras del campo, con las aves del cielo y con los reptiles de la tierra; quebraré en la tierra arco, espada y guerra, y haré que reposen seguros.
19 And I will take you as my bride for ever; truly, I will take you as my bride in righteousness and in right judging, in love and in mercies.
Y te desposaré conmigo para siempre; te desposaré conmigo en justicia y juicio, en misericordia y piedad.
20 I will take you as my bride in good faith, and you will have knowledge of the Lord.
Te desposaré conmigo en fidelidad, y reconocerás a Yahvé.
21 And it will be, in that day, says the Lord, that I will give an answer to the heavens, and the heavens to the earth;
En aquel día responderé, dice Yahvé; sí, Yo responderé a los cielos, y ellos responderán a la tierra;
22 And the earth will give its answer to the grain and the wine and the oil, and they will give an answer to Jezreel;
y la tierra responderá al trigo, al vino y al aceite; y estos responderán a Jezrael.
23 And I will put her as seed in the earth, and I will have mercy on her to whom no mercy was given; and I will say to those who were not my people, You are my people, and they will say, My God.
Sembraré a (Israel) para Mí en la tierra; y me compadeceré de Lo-Ruhama, y al que dije “Lo-Ammí”, le diré: “Pueblo mío eres”; y él dirá: “Tú eres mi Dios.”
