Osee 14

1 Return, O Israel, to the Lord your God; for the people have fallen through your iniquities.

Conviértete, ¡O! Israel, a Jehová tu Dios; porque por tu pecado has caído.

2 Take with you words, and turn to the Lord your God: speak to him, that you may not receive [the reward of] unrighteousness, but that you may receive good things: and we will render in return the fruit of our lips.

Tomád con vosotros palabras, y convertíos a Jehová, y decídle: Quita toda iniquidad, y recibe el bien; y pagaremos becerros de nuestros labios.

3 Assur shall never save us; we will not mount on horseback; we will no longer say to the works of our hands, Our gods. He who is in you shall pity the orphan.

No nos librará Assur, no subiremos sobre caballo, ni nunca más diremos a la obra de nuestras manos: Dioses nuestros; porque por ti el huérfano alcanzará misericordia.

4 I will restore their dwellings, I will love them truly: for he has turned away my wrath from him.

Yo medicinaré su rebelión, amarlos he de voluntad; porque mi furor se quitó de ellos.

5 I will be as dew to Israel: he shall bloom as the lily, and cast forth his roots as Libanus.

Yo seré a Israel como rocío: el florecerá, como lirio, y extenderá sus raíces, como el Líbano.

6 His branches shall spread, and he shall be as a fruitful olive, and his smell shall be as [the smell] of Libanus.

Extenderse han sus ramos, y será su gloria como la de la oliva, y olerá como el Líbano.

7 They shall return, and dwell under his shadow: they shall live and be satisfied with corn, and he shall flower as a vine: his memorial shall be to Ephraim as the wine of Libanus.

Volverán los que se sentaren debajo de su sombra: serán vivificados como trigo, y florecerán como la vid: su olor, como de vino del Líbano.

8 What [has] he to do any more with idols? I have afflicted him, and I will strengthen him: I am as a leafy juniper tree. From me is your fruit found.

Efraím entonces dirá: ¿Qué más tendré ya con los ídolos? Yo le oiré, y miraré: yo seré a él como la haya verde: tu fruto es hallado de mí.

9 Who is wise, and will understand these things? or prudent, and will know them? for the ways of the Lord are straight, and the righteous shall walk in them: but the ungodly shall fall therein.

¿Quién es sabio para que entienda esto; y prudente para que lo sepa? Porque los caminos de Jehová son derechos, y los justos andarán por ellos: mas los rebeldes caerán en ellos.
