Osee 7
1 When I have healed Israel, then shall the iniquity of Ephraim be revealed, and the wickedness of Samaria; for they have wrought falsehood: and a thief shall come in to him, [even] a robber spoiling in his way;
Estando yo curando a Israel, se descubrió la iniquidad de Efraín, y las maldades de Samaria; porque obraron engaño; y viene el ladrón, y el salteador despoja de fuera.
2 that they may concert together as [men] singing in their heart: I remember all their wickedness: now have their own counsels compassed them about; they came before my face.
Y no dicen en su corazón que tengo en la memoria toda su maldad; ahora los rodearán sus obras; delante de mi presencia están.
3 They gladdened kings with their wickedness, and princes with their lies.
Con su maldad alegran al rey, y a los príncipes con sus mentiras.
4 They are all adulterers, as an oven glowing with flame for hot-baking, on account of the kneading of the dough, until it is leavened.
Todos ellos adúlteros; son como horno encendido por el hornero, el cual cesará de despertar después que esté hecha la masa, hasta que esté leudada.
5 [In] the days of our kings, the princes began to be inflamed with wine: he stretched out his hand with pestilent fellows.
El día de nuestro Rey los príncipes lo hicieron enfermar con odre de vino; extendió su mano con los escarnecedores.
6 Therefore their hearts are inflamed as an oven, while they rage all the night: Ephraim is satisfied with sleep; the morning is come; he is burnt up as a flame of fire.
Porque aplicaron su corazón, semejante a un horno, en sus asechanzas; toda la noche duerme su hornero; a la mañana está su horno encendido como llama de fuego.
7 They are all heated like an oven, and have devoured their judges: all their kings are fallen; there was not among them one that called on me.
Todos ellos arden como un horno, y devoraron a sus jueces; cayeron todos sus reyes; no hay entre ellos quien clame a mí.
8 Ephraim is mixed among his people; Ephraim became a cake not turned.
Efraín se envolvió con los pueblos; Efraín fue torta no vuelta.
9 Strangers devoured his strength, and he knew [it] not; and grey hairs came upon him, and he knew [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 shall be brought down before his face: yet they have not returned to the Lord their God, neither have they diligently sought him for all this.
Y la soberbia de Israel testificará contra él en su cara; y no se tornaron al SEÑOR su Dios, ni lo buscaron con todo esto.
11 And Ephraim was as a silly dove, not having a heart: he called to Egypt, and they went to the Assyrians.
Y fue Efraín como paloma engañada, sin entendimiento; llamarán a Egipto, acudirán al asirio.
12 Whenever they shall go, I will cast my net upon them; I will bring them down as the birds of the sky, I will chasten them with the rumor of their [coming] affliction.
Cuando fueren, extenderé sobre ellos mi red; los haré caer como aves del cielo; los castigaré conforme a lo que se ha oído en sus congregaciones.
13 Woe to them! for they have started aside from me: they are cowards; for they have sinned against me: yet I redeemed them, but they spoke falsehoods 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 their hearts did not cry to me, but they howled on their beds: they pined for oil and wine.
Y no clamaron a mí con su corazón cuando aullaron sobre sus camas; para el trigo y el mosto se congregaron; se rebelaron contra mí.
15 They were instructed by me, and I strengthened their arms; and they devised evils against me.
Y yo los ceñí, esforcé sus brazos, y contra mí pensaron mal.
16 They turned aside to that which is not, they became as a bent bow: their princes shall fall by the sword, by reason of the unbridled state of their tongue: this is their setting at nothing in the land of Egypt.
Se tornaron, mas no al Altísimo; fueron como arco engañoso; cayeron sus príncipes a cuchillo por la soberbia de su lengua; éste será su escarnio en la tierra de Egipto.
