Hosea 2

1 “Say to your brothers, ‘You are my people,’ and to your sister, ‘You have obtained mercy.’

Decíd a vuestros hermanos: Ammi; y a vuestras 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.

Pleitéad con vuestra madre, pleitéad; porque ella no es mi mujer, ni yo su marido; y quite sus fornicaciones de su rostro, 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.

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

4 And I will not have mercy on her sons, for they are the sons of fornications.

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

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.’

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

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

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.’

Y seguirá sus enamorados, y no los alcanzará: buscarlos ha, y no los hallará: entonces dirá: Iré, y volverme he a mi primer marido; porque mejor me iba entonces 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.

Y ella no sabía que yo le daba el trigo, y el vino, y el aceite; y les multipliqué la plata y el oro con que hicieron a 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 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 reveal her foolishness by the eyes of her lovers, and no man will rescue her from my hand.

Y ahora yo descubriré su vileza delante de los ojos de sus enamorados, y nadie la escapará 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.

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

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.

Y haré talar su vid y su higuera, de que ha dicho: Mi salario me son, que me han dado mis enamorados. Y ponerlas he por monte, y comerlas han 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.

Y visitaré sobre ella los tiempos de los Baales, a los cuales incensaba, y adornábase de sus zarcillos y de sus joyeles, y se iba tras sus enamorados, olvidada de mí, dice Jehová.

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 he aquí que yo la induciré, y la llevaré al desierto, y 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.

Y darle he sus viñas desde allí, y el valle de Acor en 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 will be in that day,” says the Lord, “that she will call me, ‘My Husband,’ and she will no longer call me, ‘My Baal.’

Y será que en aquel tiempo, dice Jehová, me llamarás: Marido mío; y nunca más me llamarás: Baalí.

17 And I will remove the names of the Baals from her mouth, and she will no longer remember their name.

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

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.

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 hacerlos he dormir 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.

Y desposarte he conmigo para siempre; desposarte he conmigo en justicia, y juicio, y misericordia, y miseraciones.

20 And I will wed you to me in faith, and you will know that I am the Lord.

Y desposarte he conmigo en fe, y conocerás a Jehová.

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.

Y será que en aquel tiempo yo responderé, dice Jehová, 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, y al vino, y al aceite; y ellos responderán a Jezrael.

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 sembrarla he para mí en la tierra, y habré misericordia de Lo-ruhama; y diré a Lo-ammi: Pueblo mío tú; y él dirá: Dios mío.
