Hosea 8
1 Set the trumpet to thy mouth. [He cometh] as an eagle against the house of Jehovah, because they have transgressed my covenant, and rebelled against my law.
Pon a tu boca trompeta. Vendrá como águila contra la Casa del SEÑOR, porque traspasaron mi pacto, y se rebelaron contra mi ley.
2 They shall cry unto me, My God, we know thee; [we], Israel.
A mí clamará Israel: Dios mío, te hemos conocido.
3 Israel hath cast off good: the enemy shall pursue him.
Israel desamparó el bien; el enemigo lo perseguirá.
4 They have set up kings, but not by me; they have made princes, and I knew it not; of their silver and their gold have they made them idols, that they may be cut off.
Ellos reinaron, mas no por mí; hicieron señorío, mas yo no lo supe; de su plata y de su oro hicieron ídolos para sí, para ser talados.
5 Thy calf, O Samaria, hath cast [thee] off; mine anger is kindled against them: how long will they be incapable of purity?
Tu becerro, oh Samaria, te hizo alejar; se encendió mi enojo contra ellos, hasta que no pudieron ser absueltos.
6 For from Israel is this also: — a workman made it, and it is no God: for the calf of Samaria shall be [broken in] pieces.
Porque de Israel es, y artífice lo hizo; que no es Dios; porque en pedazos será deshecho el becerro de Samaria.
7 For they have sown the wind, and they shall reap the whirlwind: it hath no stalk; should it sprout, it would yield no meal; if so be it yield, strangers shall swallow it up.
Porque sembraron viento, y torbellino segarán; no tendrán mies, ni el fruto hará harina; si la hiciere, extraños la tragarán.
8 Israel is swallowed up: now are they become among the nations as a vessel wherein is no pleasure.
Será tragado Israel; presto serán tenidos entre los gentiles como vaso en que no hay contentamiento.
9 For they are gone up [to] Assyria [as] a wild ass alone by himself: Ephraim hath hired lovers.
Porque ellos subieron a Assur, asno montés para sí solo; Efraín con salario alquiló amantes.
10 Although they hire among the nations, now will I gather them, and they shall begin to be straitened under the burden of the king of princes.
Aunque se alquilen a los gentiles, ahora los juntaré; y serán un poco afligidos por la carga del rey y de los príncipes.
11 Because Ephraim hath multiplied altars to sin, altars shall be unto him to sin.
Porque multiplicó Efraín altares para pecar, tuvo altares para pecar.
12 I have prescribed unto him the manifold things of my law: they are counted [as] a strange thing.
Le escribí las grandezas de mi ley, y fueron tenidas por cosas ajenas.
13 They sacrifice flesh [for] the sacrifices of mine offerings, and eat it; Jehovah hath no delight in them. Now will he remember their iniquity, and visit their sins: they shall return to Egypt.
En los sacrificios de mis dones sacrificaron carne, y comieron; no los quiso el SEÑOR; ahora se acordará de su iniquidad, y visitará su pecado; ellos se tornarán a Egipto.
14 For Israel hath forgotten his Maker, and buildeth temples; and Judah hath multiplied fenced cities: but I will send a fire upon his cities, and it shall devour the palaces thereof.
Olvidó, pues, Israel a su Hacedor, y edificó templos, y Judá multiplicó ciudades fuertes: mas yo meteré fuego en sus ciudades, el cual devorará sus palacios.
