Hosea 9
1 Do not choose to rejoice, Israel; do not celebrate as the crowds do. For you have been committing fornication against your God; you have loved a prize upon every threshing floor of wheat.
Oh Israel, no te alegres ni te regocijes como otros pueblos, porque te prostituiste al abandonar a tu ʼElohim, y amaste salario de prostituta en todas las eras del trigo.
2 The threshing floor and the oil press will not feed them, and the wine will deceive them.
La era y el lagar no los alimentarán, y el mosto les fallará.
3 They will not dwell in the land of the Lord. Ephraim has been returned to Egypt, and he has eaten polluted things among the Assyrians.
No vivirán en la tierra de Yavé. Efraín se volverá a Egipto, y en Asiria comerán manjar impuro.
4 They will not offer a libation of wine to the Lord, and they will not please him. Their sacrifices will be like the bread of mourners. All those who eat it will be defiled. For their bread is of their soul; it will not enter into the house of the Lord.
No ofrecerán a Yavé libaciones de vino, ni sus holocaustos le serán aceptos. Serán para ellos como pan de duelo. Todos los que lo coman quedarán impuros. Su pan será para ellos mismos, pero no entrará en la Casa de Yavé.
5 What will you do on the solemn day, on the day of the feast of the Lord?
¿Qué harán el día de la solemnidad, el día de la fiesta de Yavé?
6 For, behold, they have been sent away by devastation. Egypt will gather them together; Memphis will bury them. Nettles will inherit their desired silver; the burr will be in their tabernacles.
Si escapan a causa de la calamidad, Egipto los recogerá, y Menfis los sepultará. La codicia de su plata la heredará la ortiga, y en sus tiendas crecerán espinos.
7 The days of visitation have arrived; the days of retribution are here. Know this, Israel: that the prophet was foolish, the spiritual man was mad, because of the multitude of your iniquities and the great extent of your foolishness.
Llegan los días del castigo, Llegan los días de la retribución. Que lo sepa Israel: A causa de la magnitud de tu pecado, A causa de tu gran maldad y de tu gran odio, El profeta enloqueció. El hombre inspirado es insensato.
8 The watcher of Ephraim was with my God. The prophet has become a snare of ruin over all his ways; insanity is in the house of his God.
El vidente de Efraín profetiza sin contar con su ʼElohim. Es trampa de cazador en todos sus caminos, odio en la Casa de su ʼElohim.
9 They have sinned profoundly, just as in the days of Gibeah. He will remember their iniquity, and he will repay their sin.
Se corrompieron grandemente, como en los días de Gabaa. Pero Él se acuerda de su culpa y castigará su pecado.
10 I discovered Israel like grapes in the desert. Like the first fruits of the fig tree, I saw their fathers on the end of its branches. But they went in to Baal-peor, and they have been estranged by intermingling, and they have become abominable, just like the things that they chose to love.
Como uvas en el desierto hallé a Israel. Como la fruta temprana de la higuera encontré a sus antepasados. Pero ellos fueron a Baal-peor y se apartaron para vergüenza. Fueron tan repugnantes como aquello que amaron.
11 Ephraim has chased away their glory like a bird: from birth, and from the womb, and from conception.
Como ave volará la gloria de Efraín. No habrá parto, ni embarazo, ni concepción.
12 And even if they should nurture their sons, I will make them without children among men. Yes, and woe to them, when I have withdrawn from them.
Y aunque críen a sus hijos, los quitaré de en medio de los hombres. ¡Ay de ellos en verdad, cuando Yo me aparte de ellos!
13 Ephraim, as I see it, was a Tyre, founded by beauty. And Ephraim will lead his sons to execution.
Según observé, Efraín es otra Tiro plantada en la pradera, pero Efraín entregará sus hijos al verdugo.
14 Give them, O Lord. What will you give them? Give them a womb without children, and dry breasts.
Dales, oh Yavé, lo que les vas a dar. Dales una matriz que aborte y pechos resecos.
15 All their wickedness is in Gilgal, for I held them there, in their hatred. Because of the malice of their inventions, I will expel them from my house. I will no longer say that I love them; all their leaders have retreated.
Toda su maldad ocurrió en Gilgal. Allí, pues, les tomé aversión por la perversidad de sus hechos los eché de mi Casa. Ya no los amaré más. Todos sus gobernantes son desleales.
16 Ephraim has been struck; their root has been dried out: by no means will they yield fruit. And even if they should conceive, I will execute the most beloved of their womb.
Herido está Efraín. Su raíz está seca y no da fruto. Aunque engendre, mataré lo deseable de sus órganos internos.
17 My God will cast them aside because they have not listened to him; and they will be wanderers among the nations.
Mi ʼElohim los desechará, porque ellos no lo escucharon, yandarán errantes entre las naciones.
