Hosea 2
1 “Say to your brothers, ‘You are my people,’ and to your sister, ‘You have obtained mercy.’
Llamen a sus hermanos Ammi, y a sus hermanas Ruhama.
2 Judge your mother, judge: for she is not my wife, and I am not her husband. Let her remove her fornications from before her face and her adulteries from between her breasts.
Contiendan con su madre, contiendan, porque ella no es mi esposa ni Yo soy su esposo, para que se quite de su cara sus fornicaciones, y sus adulterios de entre sus pechos.
3 Otherwise, I may expose her nakedness and set her as on the day of her birth, and I may establish her as a wilderness and set her as an impassable land, and I may execute her with thirst.
No sea que la despoje, la deje totalmente desnuda, la coloque como el día cuando nació, la deje como el desierto, la reduzca a tierra árida, la mate de sed,
4 And I will not have mercy on her sons, for they are the sons of fornications.
y no me compadezca de sus hijos porque son hijos bastardos.
5 For their mother has been fornicating; she who conceived them has been brought to ruin. For she said, ‘I will go after my lovers, who give me my bread and my water, my wool and my flax, my oil and my drink.’
Sí, su madre se prostituyó, la que los dio a luz se deshonró, pues se dijo: Iré tras mis amantes, los cuales me dan mi pan y mi agua, mi lana y mi lino, mi aceite y mi vino.
6 Because of this, behold, I will fence in your way with thorns, and I will surround it with a wall, and she will not find her paths.
Por tanto mira, Yo obstruyo tu camino con espinos. Construiré un muro contra ella para que no encuentren sus senderos.
7 And she will pursue her lovers, but she will not obtain them, and she will seek them, but she will not find them, and she will say, ‘I will go and return to my first husband, because it was to some extent better for me then, than it is now.’
Perseguirá a sus amantes y no los alcanzará, los buscará y no los hallará, y dirá: Volveré a mi primer esposo, porque entonces estaba mejor que ahora.
8 And she did not know that I gave her grain and wine and oil, and that I increased her silver and gold, which they made into Baal.
Ella no entendía que era Yo el que le daba el grano, el mosto y el aceite, el que le multiplicaba la plata y el oro que usan para baal.
9 For this reason, I will turn back, and I will take away my grain in its time and my wine in its time, and I will set free my wool and my flax, which had covered her disgrace.
Por eso le retendré mi grano en la cosecha y mi mosto en su época. Recuperaré mi lana y mi lino con los cuales cubría su desnudez.
10 And now, I will reveal her foolishness by the eyes of her lovers, and no man will rescue her from my hand.
Descubriré ante sus amantes su infamia, y no habrá quien la libre de mi mano.
11 And I will cause all her joy to cease: her solemnities, her new moons, her Sabbaths, and all her feast dates.
Haré cesar todo su alborozo: sus fiestas, sus nuevas lunas y sus sábados, y todas sus solemnidades.
12 And I will corrupt her vines and her fig trees, about which she said, ‘These rewards, they are mine, my lovers have given them to me.’ And I will place her in a narrow forest, and the beasts of the field will devour her.
Arrasaré su vid y su higuera, de las cuales decía: son mi paga, me las dieron mis amantes. Las convertiré en matorrales, y los comerán las bestias del campo.
13 And I will inflict on her the days of the Baals, for whom she burned incense, and ornamented herself with earrings and necklace, and went after her lovers, and forgot about me,” says the Lord.
La castigaré por los días dedicados a los baales, a los cuales les quemaba incienso, y adornada con aretes y collares iba detrás de sus amantes, y se olvidaba de mí, dice Yavé.
14 “Because of this, behold, I will attract her, and I will lead her into the wilderness, and I will speak to her heart.
Por tanto, Yo la atraeré y la llevaré al desierto, y le hablaré a su corazón.
15 And I will give to her, from the same place, her vinedressers, and the valley of Achor as a passage of hope. And she will sing there as in the days of her youth, and as in the days of her ascension from the land of Egypt.
Allí le daré sus viñas y el valle de Acor, como puerta de esperanza. Allí me responderá como en su juventud, como cuando salió de Egipto.
16 And it will be in that day,” says the Lord, “that she will call me, ‘My Husband,’ and she will no longer call me, ‘My Baal.’
Sucederá en aquel día, dice Yavé, que tú me llamarás: Esposo mío, y ya no me llamarás: ʼAdón mío.
17 And I will remove the names of the Baals from her mouth, and she will no longer remember their name.
Pues quitaré de su boca los nombres de los baales, y sus nombres ya no serán invocados.
18 And in that day, I will strike a deal with them, with the beasts of the field, and with the birds of the sky, and with the creatures of the earth. And I will crush the bow and the sword, and I will wipe away war from the earth. And I will let them sleep securely.
Haré un pacto a favor de ellos con las bestias salvajes, las aves de los cielos y los reptiles de la tierra. Romperé el arco, la espada y las batallas de la tierra, y haré que reposen seguros.
19 And I will betroth you to me forever, and I will betroth you to me in justice and judgment, and in mercy and compassion.
Te comprometeré conmigo para siempre. Te desposaré conmigo en justicia y justo juicio, con benignidad y gran misericordia.
20 And I will wed you to me in faith, and you will know that I am the Lord.
Te desposaré conmigo en fidelidad, y tú conocerás a Yavé.
21 And this will happen in that day: I will listen closely,” says the Lord. “I will hear the heavens, and they will hear the earth.
Aquel día responderé, dice Yavé. Yo responderé a los cielos, y ellos responderán a la tierra.
22 And the land will pay attention to the grain, and the wine, and the oil; and these will hear Jezreel.
Y la tierra responderá al trigo, al vino y al aceite, y ellos responderán a Jezreel.
23 And I will plant her for me in the land, and I will have mercy on her, though she had been called Without Mercy. And I will say to Not My People, ‘You are my people,’ and they will say, ‘You are my God.’”
Y la sembraré en la tierra para Mí mismo, y me compadeceré de Lo-ruhama, y diré a Lo-ammi: Pueblo mío. Y él responderá: Tú eres mi ʼElohim.
