Osee 7
1 When I have healed Israel, then shall the iniquity of Ephraim be revealed, and the wickedness of Samaria; for they have wrought falsehood: and a thief shall come in to him, [even] a robber spoiling in his way;
Cuando yo sanara a Israel, entonces la iniquidad de Efraín queda al descubierto, también la maldad de Samaria; ya que cometen falsedad, y el ladrón entra, y la banda de ladrones hace estragos en el exterior.
2 that they may concert together as [men] singing in their heart: I remember all their wickedness: now have their own counsels compassed them about; they came before my face.
No consideran en su corazón que me acuerdo de toda su maldad. Ahora sus propios actos los han engullido. Están ante mi cara.
3 They gladdened kings with their wickedness, and princes with their lies.
Alegran al rey con su maldad, y los príncipes con sus mentiras.
4 They are all adulterers, as an oven glowing with flame for hot-baking, on account of the kneading of the dough, until it is leavened.
Todos son adúlteros. Arden como un horno que el panadero deja de remover, desde el amasado de la masa, hasta su leudado.
5 [In] the days of our kings, the princes began to be inflamed with wine: he stretched out his hand with pestilent fellows.
En el día de nuestro rey, los príncipes se enfermaron con el calor del vino. Unió su mano con la de los burlones.
6 Wherefore their hearts are inflamed as an oven, while they rage all the night: Ephraim is satisfied with sleep; the morning is come; he is burnt up as a flame of fire.
Porque han preparado su corazón como un horno, mientras están al acecho. Su ira arde toda la noche. Por la mañana arde como un fuego ardiente.
7 They are all heated like an oven, and have devoured their judges: all their kings are fallen; there was not among them one that called on me.
Están todos calientes como un horno, y devorar a sus jueces. Todos sus reyes han caído. No hay nadie entre ellos que me llame.
8 Ephraim is mixed among his people; Ephraim became a cake not turned.
Efraín se mezcla entre las naciones. Efraín es un panqueque no volteado.
9 Strangers devoured his strength, and he knew [it] not; and grey hairs came upon him, and he knew [it] not.
Los extraños han devorado su fuerza, y no se da cuenta. De hecho, las canas están aquí y allá en él, y no se da cuenta.
10 And the pride of Israel shall be brought down before his face: yet they have not returned to the Lord their God, neither have they diligently sought him for all this.
La soberbia de Israel da testimonio de su rostro; pero no han vuelto a Yahvé, su Dios, ni lo buscó, por todo esto.
11 And Ephraim was as a silly dove, not having a heart: he called to Egypt, and they went to the Assyrians.
“Efraín es como una paloma fácil de engañar, sin entendimiento. Llaman a Egipto. Van a Asiria.
12 Whenever they shall go, I will cast my net upon them; I will bring them down as the birds of the sky, I will chasten them with the rumor of their [coming] affliction.
Cuando se vayan, extenderé mi red sobre ellos. Los haré descender como las aves del cielo. Los castigaré, como ha oído su congregación.
13 Woe to them! for they have started aside from me: they are cowards; for they have sinned against me: yet I redeemed them, but they spoke falsehoods against me.
¡Ay de ellos! Porque se han alejado de mí. ¡Destrucción para ellos! Porque se han ensañado conmigo. Aunque los redimiría, sin embargo, han dicho mentiras contra mí.
14 And their hearts did not cry to me, but they howled on their beds: they pined for oil and wine.
No han clamado a mí con el corazón, pero aúllan en sus camas. Se reúnen por el grano y el vino nuevo. Se alejan de mí.
15 They were instructed by me, and I strengthened their arms; and they devised evils against me.
Aunque he enseñado y fortalecido sus brazos, sin embargo, traman el mal contra mí.
16 They turned aside to that which is not, they became as a bent bow: their princes shall fall by the sword, by reason of the unbridled state of their tongue: this is their setting at nought in the land of Egypt.
Vuelven, pero no al Altísimo. Son como un arco defectuoso. Sus príncipes caerán a espada por la furia de su lengua. Esta será su burla en la tierra de Egipto.
