Hosea 5
1 Hear this, ye priests; and hearken, ye house of Israel; and give ear, O house of the king: for this judgment is for you; for ye have been a snare at Mizpah, and a net spread upon Tabor.
Sacerdotes, oíd esto, y estad atentos, Casa de Israel; y Casa del Rey, escuchad: porque para vosotros es el juicio, pues habéis sido lazo en Mizpa, y red extendida sobre Tabor.
2 And they have plunged themselves in the corruption of apostasy, but I will be a chastiser of them all.
Y matando sacrificios han bajado hasta lo profundo; por tanto, yo seré la corrección de todos ellos.
3 I know Ephraim, and Israel is not hid from me; for now, Ephraim, thou hast committed whoredom; Israel is defiled.
Yo conozco a Efraín, e Israel no me es desconocido; porque ahora, oh Efraín, has fornicado, y se ha contaminado Israel.
4 Their doings do not allow them to return unto their God; for the spirit of whoredoms is in the midst of them, and they know not Jehovah.
No pondrán sus pensamientos en volverse a su Dios, porque espíritu de fornicación está en medio de ellos, y no conocen al SEÑOR.
5 And Israel's pride doth testify to his face; and Israel and Ephraim shall fall by their iniquity: Judah also shall fall with them.
Y la soberbia de Israel le desmentirá en su cara; e Israel y Efraín tropezarán en su pecado; tropezará también Judá con ellos.
6 They shall go with their flocks and with their herds to seek Jehovah; but they shall not find [him]: he hath withdrawn himself from them.
Con sus ovejas y con sus vacas andarán buscando al SEÑOR, y no le hallarán; se apartó de ellos.
7 They have dealt treacherously against Jehovah; for they have begotten strange children: now shall the new moon devour them, with their allotted possessions.
Contra el SEÑOR se rebelaron, porque engendraron hijos extraños; ahora los devorará un mes con sus heredades.
8 Blow the horn in Gibeah, the trumpet in Ramah; cry aloud [at] Beth-aven: behind thee, O Benjamin!
Tocad el shofar en Gabaa, trompeta en Ramá; sonad tambor en Bet-avén; tras ti, oh Benjamín.
9 Ephraim shall be a desolation in the day of rebuke: among the tribes of Israel have I made known that which is sure.
Efraín será asolado el día del castigo; en las tribus de Israel hice conocer mi verdad.
10 The princes of Judah are become like them that remove the landmark: I will pour out my wrath upon them like water.
Los príncipes de Judá fueron como los que traspasan mojones; derramaré sobre ellos como agua mi ira.
11 Ephraim is oppressed, crushed in judgment, because in selfwill he walked after the commandment [of man].
Efraín es vejado, quebrantado en juicio, porque quiso andar en pos de mandamientos.
12 And I will be unto Ephraim as a moth, and to the house of Judah as rottenness.
Yo, pues, seré como polilla a Efraín, y como carcoma a la Casa de Judá.
13 When Ephraim saw his sickness, and Judah his sore, then went Ephraim to the Assyrian, and sent to king Jareb; but he was unable to heal you, nor hath he removed your sore.
Y verá Efraín su enfermedad, y Judá su llaga: irá entonces Efraín al Assur, y enviará al rey de Jareb; mas él no os podrá sanar, ni os curará la llaga.
14 For I will be unto Ephraim as a lion, and as a young lion to the house of Judah. I, I will tear and go away; I will carry off, and there shall be none to deliver.
Porque yo seré como león a Efraín, y como cachorro de león a la Casa de Judá; yo, yo arrebataré, y andaré; tomaré, y no habrá quien escape.
15 I will go away, I will return to my place, till they acknowledge their trespass, and seek my face: in their affliction they will seek me early.
Andaré, y tornaré a mi lugar, hasta que conozcan su pecado, y busquen mi rostro. En su angustia madrugarán a mí.
