Hosea 9
1 Have no joy, O Israel, and do not be glad like the nations; for you have been untrue to your God; your desire has been for the loose woman's reward on every grain-floor.
Oh Israel, no te alegres ni te regocijes como otros pueblos, porque te prostituiste al abandonar a tu ʼElohim, y amaste salario de prostituta en todas las eras del trigo.
2 The grain-floor and the place where the grapes are crushed will not give them food; there will be no new wine for them.
La era y el lagar no los alimentarán, y el mosto les fallará.
3 They will have no resting-place in the Lord's land, but Ephraim will go back to Egypt, and they will take unclean food in Assyria.
No vivirán en la tierra de Yavé. Efraín se volverá a Egipto, y en Asiria comerán manjar impuro.
4 They will give no wine offering to the Lord, they will not make offerings ready for him; their bread will be like the bread of those in sorrow; all who take it will be unclean, because their bread will be only for their desire, it will not come into the house of the Lord.
No ofrecerán a Yavé libaciones de vino, ni sus holocaustos le serán aceptos. Serán para ellos como pan de duelo. Todos los que lo coman quedarán impuros. Su pan será para ellos mismos, pero no entrará en la Casa de Yavé.
5 What will you do on the day of worship, and on the day of the feast of the Lord?
¿Qué harán el día de la solemnidad, el día de la fiesta de Yavé?
6 For see, they are going away into Assyria; Egypt will get them together, Memphis will be their last resting-place; their fair silver vessels will be covered over with field plants, and thorns will come up in their tents.
Si escapan a causa de la calamidad, Egipto los recogerá, y Menfis los sepultará. La codicia de su plata la heredará la ortiga, y en sus tiendas crecerán espinos.
7 The days of punishment, the days of reward are come; Israel will be put to shame; the prophet is foolish, the man who has the spirit is off his head, because of your great sin.
Llegan los días del castigo, Llegan los días de la retribución. Que lo sepa Israel: A causa de la magnitud de tu pecado, A causa de tu gran maldad y de tu gran odio, El profeta enloqueció. El hombre inspirado es insensato.
8 There is great hate against the watchman of Ephraim, the people of my God; as for the prophet, there is a net in all his ways, and hate in the house of his God.
El vidente de Efraín profetiza sin contar con su ʼElohim. Es trampa de cazador en todos sus caminos, odio en la Casa de su ʼElohim.
9 They have gone deep in evil as in the days of Gibeah; he will keep in mind their wrongdoing, he will give them punishment for their sins.
Se corrompieron grandemente, como en los días de Gabaa. Pero Él se acuerda de su culpa y castigará su pecado.
10 I made discovery of Israel as of grapes in the waste land; I saw your fathers as the first-fruits of the fig-tree in her early fruit time; but they came to Baal-peor, and made themselves holy to the thing of shame, and became disgusting like that to which they gave their love.
Como uvas en el desierto hallé a Israel. Como la fruta temprana de la higuera encontré a sus antepasados. Pero ellos fueron a Baal-peor y se apartaron para vergüenza. Fueron tan repugnantes como aquello que amaron.
11 As for Ephraim, their glory will go in flight like a bird: there will be no birth and no one with child and no giving of life.
Como ave volará la gloria de Efraín. No habrá parto, ni embarazo, ni concepción.
12 Even though their children have come to growth I will take them away, so that not a man will be there; for their evil-doing will be complete and they will be put to shame because of it.
Y aunque críen a sus hijos, los quitaré de en medio de los hombres. ¡Ay de ellos en verdad, cuando Yo me aparte de ellos!
13 As I have seen a beast whose young have been taken from her, so Ephraim will give birth to children only for them to be put to death.
Según observé, Efraín es otra Tiro plantada en la pradera, pero Efraín entregará sus hijos al verdugo.
14 O Lord, what will you give them? Give them bodies which may not give birth and breasts without milk.
Dales, oh Yavé, lo que les vas a dar. Dales una matriz que aborte y pechos resecos.
15 All their evil-doing is in Gilgal; there I had hate for them; because of their evil-doing I will send them out of my house; they will no longer be dear to me; all their rulers are uncontrolled.
Toda su maldad ocurrió en Gilgal. Allí, pues, les tomé aversión por la perversidad de sus hechos los eché de mi Casa. Ya no los amaré más. Todos sus gobernantes son desleales.
16 The rod has come on Ephraim, their root is dry, let them have no fruit; even though they give birth, I will put to death the dearest fruit of their bodies.
Herido está Efraín. Su raíz está seca y no da fruto. Aunque engendre, mataré lo deseable de sus órganos internos.
17 My God will give them up because they did not give ear to him; they will be wandering among the nations.
Mi ʼElohim los desechará, porque ellos no lo escucharon, yandarán errantes entre las naciones.
