Hosea 7
1 when I would heal Israel, then is the iniquity of Ephraim uncovered, and the wickedness of Samaria, for they commit falsehood; and the thief entereth in, and the troop of robbers maketh a raid without.
ESTANDO yo curando á Israel, descubrióse la iniquidad de Ephraim, y las maldades de Samaria; porque obraron engaño: y viene el ladrón, y el salteador despoja de fuera.
2 And let them not say to their heart — I remember all their wickedness; now their own doings have beset them about, they are before My face.
Y no dicen en su corazón que tengo en la memoria toda su maldad: ahora los rodearán sus obras; delante de mí están.
3 They make the king glad with their wickedness, and the princes with their lies.
Con su maldad alegran al rey, y á los príncipes con sus mentiras.
4 They are all adulterers, as an oven heated by the baker, who ceaseth to stir from the kneading of the dough until it be leavened.
Todos ellos adúlteros; son como horno encendido por el hornero, [el cual] cesará de avivar después que esté hecha la masa, hasta que esté leuda.
5 On the day of our king the princes make him sick with the heat of wine, he stretcheth out his hand with scorners.
El día de nuestro rey los príncipes lo hicieron enfermar con vasos de vino: extendió su mano con los escarnecedores.
6 For they have made ready their heart like an oven, while they lie in wait; their baker sleepeth all the night, in the morning it burneth as a flaming fire.
Porque aplicaron su corazón, semejante á un horno, á sus artificios: toda la noche duerme su hornero; á la mañana está encendido como llama de fuego.
7 They are all hot as an oven, and devour their judges; all their kings are fallen, there is none among them that calleth unto Me.
Todos ellos arden como un horno, y devoraron á sus jueces: cayeron todos sus reyes: no hay entre ellos quien á mí clame.
8 Ephraim, he mixeth himself with the peoples; Ephraim is become a cake not turned.
Ephraim se envolvió con los pueblos; Ephraim fué torta no vuelta.
9 Strangers have devoured his strength, and he knoweth it not; yea, gray hairs are here and there upon him, and he knoweth it not.
Comieron extraños su sustancia, y él no lo supo; y aun vejez se ha esparcido por él, y él no lo entendió.
10 And the pride of Israel testifieth to his face; but they have not returned unto the LORD their God, nor sought Him, for all this.
Y la soberbia de Israel testificará contra él en su cara: y no se tornaron á Jehová su Dios, ni lo buscaron con todo esto.
11 And Ephraim is become like a silly dove, without understanding; they call unto Egypt, they go to Assyria.
Y fué Ephraim como paloma incauta, sin entendimiento: llamarán á Egipto, acudirán al Asirio.
12 Even as they go, I will spread My net upon them; I will bring them down as the fowls of the heaven; I will chastise them, as their congregation hath been made to hear.
Cuando fueren, extenderé sobre ellos mi red, hacerlos he caer como aves del cielo; castigarélos conforme á lo que se ha oído en sus congregaciones.
13 Woe unto them! for they have strayed from Me; Destruction unto them! for they have transgressed against Me; Shall I then redeem them, seeing they have spoken lies against Me?
¡Ay de ellos! porque se apartaron de mí: destrucción sobre ellos, porque contra mí se rebelaron; yo los redimí, y ellos hablaron contra mí mentiras.
14 And they have not cried unto Me with their heart, though they wail upon their beds; they assemble themselves for corn and wine, they rebel against Me.
Y no clamaron á mí con su corazón cuando aullaron sobre sus camas, para el trigo y el mosto se congregaron, rebeláronse contra mí.
15 Though I have trained and strengthened their arms, yet do they devise evil against Me.
Y yo [los] ceñí, esforcé sus brazos, y contra mí pensaron mal.
16 They return, but not upwards; they are become like a deceitful bow; their princes shall fall by the sword for the rage of their tongue; this shall be their derision in the land of Egypt.
Tornáronse, mas no al Altísimo: fueron como arco engañoso: cayeron sus príncipes á cuchillo por la soberbia de su lengua: éste será su escarnio en la tierra de Egipto.
