Osee 2

1 Say to your brother, My people, and to your sister, Pitied.

Decid a vuestros hermanos, Ammi, y vuestras hermanas, Ruhama:

2 Plead with your mother, plead: for she is not my wife, and I am not her husband: and I will remove her fornication out of my presence, and her adultery from between her breasts:

Pleitead con vuestra madre, pleitead; porque ella no es mi mujer, ni yo su marido; quite, pues, sus fornicaciones de su rostro, y sus adulterios de entre sus pechos;

3 that I may strip her naked, and make her again as she was at the day of her birth: and I will make her desolate, and make her as a dry land, and will kill her with thirst.

para que yo no la despoje desnuda, y la haga tornar como el día en que nació, y la ponga como un desierto, y la deje como tierra seca, y la mate de sed.

4 And I will not have mercy upon her children; for they are children of fornication.

Ni tendré misericordia de sus hijos, porque son hijos de fornicaciones.

5 And their mother went a-whoring: she that bore them disgraced [them]: for she said, I will go after my lovers, that give me my bread and my water, and my garments, and my linen clothes, my oil and my necessaries.

Porque su madre fornicó; la que los engendró fue avergonzada; porque dijo: Iré tras mis amantes, que me dan mi pan y mi agua, mi lana y mi lino, mi aceite y mi bebida.

6 Therefore, behold, I hedge up her way with thorns, and I will stop the ways, and she shall not find her path.

Por tanto, he aquí yo cerco tu camino con espinas, y la cercaré con seto, y no hallará sus caminos.

7 And she shall follow after her lovers, and shall not overtake them; and she shall seek them, but shall not find them: and she shall say, I will go, and return to my former husband; for it was better with me than now.

Y seguirá a sus amantes, y no los alcanzará; los buscará, y no los hallará. Entonces dirá: Iré, y me volveré a mi primer marido; porque mejor me iba entonces que ahora.

8 And she knew not that I gave her her corn, and wine, and oil, and multiplied silver to her: but she made silver and gold [images] for Baal.

Y ella no reconoció que yo le daba el trigo, y el vino, y el aceite, y que les multipliqué la plata y el oro con que hicieron a Baal.

9 Therefore I will return, and take away my corn in its season, and my wine in its time; and I will take away my raiment and my linen clothes, so that she shall not cover her nakedness.

Por tanto yo tornaré, y tomaré mi trigo a su tiempo, y mi vino a su sazón, y quitaré mi lana y mi lino que había dado para cubrir su desnudez.

10 And now I will expose her uncleanness before her lovers, and no one shall by any means deliver her out of my hand.

Y ahora descubriré yo su locura delante de los ojos de sus amantes, y nadie la librará de mi mano.

11 And I will take away all her gladness, her feasts, and her festivals at the new moon, and her sabbaths, and all her solemn assemblies.

Y haré cesar todo su gozo, su fiesta, su nueva luna y su sábado, y todas sus festividades.

12 And I will utterly destroy her vines, and her fig-trees, all things of which she said, These are my hire which my lovers have given me: and I will make them a testimony, and the wild beasts of the field, and the birds of the sky, and the reptiles of the earth shall devour them.

Y haré talar su vid y su higuera, de la que ha dicho: Mi salario me son, que me han dado mis amantes. Y las reduciré a un matorral, y las comerán las bestias del campo.

13 And I will recompense on her the days of Baalim, wherein she sacrificed to them, and put on her ear-rings, and her necklaces, and went after her lovers, and forgot me, saith the Lord.

Y visitaré sobre ella los tiempos de los baales, a los cuales incensaba, y se adornaba de sus zarcillos y de sus joyeles, y se iba tras sus amantes olvidada de mí, dice el SEÑOR.

14 Therefore, behold, I [will] cause her to err, and will make her as desolate, and will speak comfortably to her.

Por tanto he aquí, yo la induciré, y la llevaré al desierto, y hablaré a su corazón.

15 And I will giver her possessions from thence, and the valley of Achor to open her understanding: and she shall be afflicted there according to the days of her infancy, and according to the days of her coming up out of the land of Egypt.

Y le daré sus viñas desde allí, y el valle de Acor por puerta de esperanza; y allí cantará como en los tiempos de su juventud, y como en el día de su subida de la tierra de Egipto.

16 And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the Lord, [that] she shall call me, My husband, and shall no longer call me Baalim.

Y será que en aquel tiempo, dice el SEÑOR, me llamarás marido mío, y nunca más me llamarás Baali.

17 And I will take away the names of Baalim out of her mouth, and their names shall be remembered no more at all.

Porque quitaré de su boca los nombres de los baales, y nunca más serán mentados por su nombre.

18 And I will make for them in that day a covenant with the wild beasts of the field, and with the birds of the sky, and with the reptiles of the earth: and I will break the bow and the sword and the battle from off the earth, and will cause thee to dwell safely.

Y haré por ellos concierto en aquel tiempo con las bestias del campo, y con las aves del cielo, y con las serpientes de la tierra; y quebraré arco, y espada, y batalla de la tierra, y los haré dormir seguros.

19 And I will betroth thee to myself for ever; yea, I will betroth thee to myself in righteousness, and in judgment, and in mercy, and in tender compassions;

Y te desposaré conmigo para siempre; te desposaré conmigo en justicia, juicio, misericordia, y miseraciones.

20 and I will betroth thee to myself in faithfulness: and thou shalt know the Lord.

Y te desposaré conmigo en fe, y conocerás al SEÑOR.

21 And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the Lord, I will hearken to the heaven, and it shall hearken to the earth;

Y será que en aquel tiempo responderé, dice el SEÑOR, yo responderé a los cielos, y ellos responderán a la tierra;

22 and the earth shall hearken to the corn, and the wine, and the oil; and they shall hearken to Jezrael.

y la tierra responderá al trigo, al vino, y al aceite, y ellos responderán a Jezreel.

23 And I will sow her to me on the earth; and will love her that was not loved, and will say to that which was not my people, Thou art my people; and they shall say, Thou art the Lord my God.

Y la sembraré para mí en la tierra, y tendré misericordia de Lo-ruhama; y diré a Lo-ammi: pueblo mío tú; y él dirá: Dios mío.
