Osee 14
1 Return, O Israel, to the Lord your God; for the people have fallen through your iniquities.
Conviértete, oh Israel, al SEÑOR 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.
Tomad con vosotros palabras, y convertíos al SEÑOR, y decidle: Quita toda iniquidad, y aceptanos con gracia, y daremos los 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 caballos, ni nunca más diremos a la obra de nuestras manos: Dioses nuestros; porque en 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, los amaré de voluntad; porque mi furor se apartó 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; él 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.
Se extenderán 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 sentarán bajo 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.
Efraín entonces dirá: ¿Qué más tendré ya con los ídolos? Yo lo oiré, y miraré; yo seré a él como la haya verde; de mí será hallado tu fruto.
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 del SEÑOR son derechos, y los justos andarán por ellos; mas los rebeldes en ellos caerán.
