< Hosea 6 >

1 In their tribulation, they will arise early to me. Come, let us return to the Lord.
VENID y volvámonos á Jehová: que él arrebató, y nos curará; hirió, y nos vendará.
2 For he has seized us, and he will heal us. He will strike, and he will cure us.
Darános vida después de dos días: al tercer día nos resucitará, y viviremos delante de él.
3 He will revive us after two days; on the third day he will raise us up, and we will live in his sight. We will understand, and we will continue on, so that we may know the Lord. His landing place has been prepared like the first light of morning, and he will come to us like the early and the late rains of the land.
Y conoceremos, y proseguiremos en conocer á Jehová: como el alba está aparejada su salida, y vendrá á nosotros como la lluvia, como la lluvia tardía [y] temprana á la tierra.
4 What am I to do with you, Ephraim? What am I to do with you, Judah? Your mercy is like the morning mist, and like the dew passing away in the morning.
¿Qué haré á ti, Ephraim? ¿Qué haré á ti, oh Judá? La piedad vuestra es como la nube de la mañana, y como el rocío que de madrugada viene.
5 Because of this, I have cut them with the prophets, I have slain them with the words of my mouth; and your opinions will depart like the light.
Por esta causa corté con los profetas, con las palabras de mi boca los maté; y tus juicios serán [como] luz que sale.
6 For I desired mercy and not sacrifice, and knowledge of God more than holocausts.
Porque misericordia quise, y no sacrificio; y conocimiento de Dios más que holocaustos.
7 But they, like Adam, have transgressed the covenant; in this, they have been dishonest with me.
Mas ellos, cual Adam, traspasaron el pacto: allí prevaricaron contra mí.
8 Gilead is a city that manufactures idols; it has been tripped up by family relations.
Galaad, ciudad de obradores de iniquidad, ensuciada de sangre.
9 And, like those who rob with skillful words, they, by conspiring with the priests, bring a death sentence to travelers on a pilgrimage from Shechem; for they have been performing evil deeds.
Y como ladrones que esperan á [algún] hombre, así junta de sacerdotes mancomunadamente mata en el camino: porque ponen en efecto la abominación.
10 I have seen horrible things in the house of Israel; the fornications of Ephraim are there. Israel has been contaminated.
En la casa de Israel he visto suciedad: allí fornicó Ephraim, se contaminó Israel:
11 But you, Judah, set a harvest for yourself, while I reverse the captivity of my people.
También Judá puso en ti [una] planta, habiendo yo vuelto la cautividad de mi pueblo.
