Hosea 2
1 Say ye unto your brethren: 'Ammi'; and to your sisters, 'Ruhamah.'
Llamen a sus hermanos Ammi, y a sus hermanas Ruhama.
2 Plead with your mother, plead; for she is not My wife, neither am I her husband; and let her put away her harlotries from her face, and her adulteries from between her breasts;
Contiendan con su madre, contiendan, porque ella no es mi esposa ni Yo soy su esposo, para que se quite de su cara sus fornicaciones, y sus adulterios de entre sus pechos.
3 Lest I strip her naked, and set her as in the day that she was born, and make her as a wilderness, and set her like a dry land, and slay her with thirst.
No sea que la despoje, la deje totalmente desnuda, la coloque como el día cuando nació, la deje como el desierto, la reduzca a tierra árida, la mate de sed,
4 And I will not have compassion upon her children; for they are children of harlotry.
y no me compadezca de sus hijos porque son hijos bastardos.
5 For their mother hath played the harlot, she that conceived them hath done shamefully; for she said: 'I will go after my lovers, that give me my bread and my water, my wool and my flax, mine oil and my drink.'
Sí, su madre se prostituyó, la que los dio a luz se deshonró, pues se dijo: Iré tras mis amantes, los cuales me dan mi pan y mi agua, mi lana y mi lino, mi aceite y mi vino.
6 Therefore, behold, I will hedge up thy way with thorns, and I will make a wall against her, that she shall not find her paths.
Por tanto mira, Yo obstruyo tu camino con espinos. Construiré un muro contra ella para que no encuentren sus senderos.
7 And she shall run after her lovers, but she shall not overtake them, and she shall seek them, but shall not find them; then shall she say: 'I will go and return to my first husband; for then was it better with me than now.'
Perseguirá a sus amantes y no los alcanzará, los buscará y no los hallará, y dirá: Volveré a mi primer esposo, porque entonces estaba mejor que ahora.
8 For she did not know that it was I that gave her the corn, and the wine, and the oil, and multiplied unto her silver and gold, which they used for Baal.
Ella no entendía que era Yo el que le daba el grano, el mosto y el aceite, el que le multiplicaba la plata y el oro que usan para baal.
9 Therefore will I take back My corn in the time thereof, and My wine in the season thereof, and will snatch away My wool and My flax given to cover her nakedness.
Por eso le retendré mi grano en la cosecha y mi mosto en su época. Recuperaré mi lana y mi lino con los cuales cubría su desnudez.
10 And now will I uncover her shame in the sight of her lovers, and none shall deliver her out of My hand.
Descubriré ante sus amantes su infamia, y no habrá quien la libre de mi mano.
11 I will also cause all her mirth to cease, her feasts, her new moons, and her sabbaths, and all her appointed seasons.
Haré cesar todo su alborozo: sus fiestas, sus nuevas lunas y sus sábados, y todas sus solemnidades.
12 And I will lay waste her vines and her fig-trees, whereof she hath said: 'These are my hire that my lovers have given me'; and I will make them a forest, and the beasts of the field shall eat them.
Arrasaré su vid y su higuera, de las cuales decía: son mi paga, me las dieron mis amantes. Las convertiré en matorrales, y los comerán las bestias del campo.
13 And I will visit upon her the days of the Baalim, wherein she offered unto them, and decked herself with her ear-rings and her jewels, and went after her lovers, and forgot Me, saith the LORD.
La castigaré por los días dedicados a los baales, a los cuales les quemaba incienso, y adornada con aretes y collares iba detrás de sus amantes, y se olvidaba de mí, dice Yavé.
14 Therefore, behold, I will allure her, and bring her into the wilderness, and speak tenderly unto her.
Por tanto, Yo la atraeré y la llevaré al desierto, y le hablaré a su corazón.
15 And I will give her her vineyards from thence, and the valley of Achor for a door of hope; and she shall respond there, as in the days of her youth, and as in the day when she came up out of the land of Egypt.
Allí le daré sus viñas y el valle de Acor, como puerta de esperanza. Allí me responderá como en su juventud, como cuando salió de Egipto.
16 And it shall be at that day, saith the LORD, that thou shalt call Me Ishi, and shalt call Me no more Baali.
Sucederá en aquel día, dice Yavé, que tú me llamarás: Esposo mío, y ya no me llamarás: ʼAdón mío.
17 For I will take away the names of the Baalim out of her mouth, and they shall no more be mentioned by their name.
Pues quitaré de su boca los nombres de los baales, y sus nombres ya no serán invocados.
18 And in that day will I make a covenant for them with the beasts of the field, and with the fowls of heaven, and with the creeping things of the ground; and I will break the bow and the sword and the battle out of the land, and will make them to lie down safely.
Haré un pacto a favor de ellos con las bestias salvajes, las aves de los cielos y los reptiles de la tierra. Romperé el arco, la espada y las batallas de la tierra, y haré que reposen seguros.
19 And I will betroth thee unto Me for ever; yea, I will betroth thee unto Me in righteousness, and in justice, and in lovingkindness, and in compassion.
Te comprometeré conmigo para siempre. Te desposaré conmigo en justicia y justo juicio, con benignidad y gran misericordia.
20 And I will betroth thee unto Me in faithfulness; and thou shalt know the LORD.
Te desposaré conmigo en fidelidad, y tú conocerás a Yavé.
21 And it shall come to pass in that day, I will respond, saith the LORD, I will respond to the heavens, and they shall respond to the earth;
Aquel día responderé, dice Yavé. Yo responderé a los cielos, y ellos responderán a la tierra.
22 And the earth shall respond to the corn, and the wine, and the oil; and they shall respond to Jezreel.
Y la tierra responderá al trigo, al vino y al aceite, y ellos responderán a Jezreel.
23 And I will sow her unto Me in the land; and I will have compassion upon her that had not obtained compassion; and I will say to them that were not My people: 'Thou art My people'; and they shall say: 'Thou art my God.'
Y la sembraré en la tierra para Mí mismo, y me compadeceré de Lo-ruhama, y diré a Lo-ammi: Pueblo mío. Y él responderá: Tú eres mi ʼElohim.
