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.
No te alegres, o! Israel, hasta saltar de gozo como los pueblos; pues has fornicado de tu Dios: amaste salario de ramera por todas las eras de 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 mantendrá: el mosto les mentirá.
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 quedarán en la tierra de Jehová: mas volverá Efraím a Egipto, y a Asiria, donde comerán vianda inmunda.
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 derramarán vino a Jehová, ni él tomará contento en sus sacrificios: como pan de enlutados les serán a ellos; todos los que comieren de él, serán inmundos; porque su pan por su alma no entrará en la casa de Jehová.
5 What will you do on the day of worship, and on the day of the feast of the Lord?
¿Qué haréis el día de la solemnidad, y el día de la fiesta de Jehová?
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.
Porque he aquí que ellos se fueron después de su destrucción: Egipto los cogerá, Mémfis los enterrará, espino poseerá por heredad lo deseable de su plata, hortiga crecerá en sus moradas.
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.
Vinieron los días de la visitación, vinieron los días de la paga: conocerá Israel: insensato el profeta, furioso el varón de espíritu, a causa de la multitud de tu maldad, y grande odio.
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 atalaya de Efraím para con mi Dios, es a saber, el profeta, es lazo de cazador en todos sus caminos, odio en la casa de su Dios.
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.
Llegaron al profundo, corrompiéronse, como en los días de Gabaa: ahora se acordará de su iniquidad, visitará 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 en su principio ví a vuestros padres; y ellos entraron a Baal-pehor, y se apartaron para vergüenza, e hiciéronse abominables como su amor.
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.
Efraím, volará, como ave, su gloria desde el nacimiento, o, desde el vientre, o desde el concebimiento.
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 sí llegaren a grandes a sus hijos, yo los quitaré de entre los hombres; porque también, ¡ay de ellos, cuando de ellos me apartare!
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.
Efraím, según veo, es semejante a Tiro asentada en lugar deleitoso: mas Efraím sacará sus hijos al matador.
14 O Lord, what will you give them? Give them bodies which may not give birth and breasts without milk.
Dáles, o! Jehová, lo que les has de dar: dáles matriz amovedera, y secos pechos.
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 la maldad de ellos fue en Gálgala; porque allí tomé con ellos odio por la malicia de sus obras: echarlos he de mi casa: nunca más los amaré, todos sus príncipes 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.
Efraím fue herido, su cepa se secó: no hará más fruto: aunque engendren, yo mataré lo deseable de su vientre.
17 My God will give them up because they did not give ear to him; they will be wandering among the nations.
Mi Dios los desechará, porque ellos no le oyeron; y serán vagabundos entre las naciones.
