Hosea 5
1 “Hear this, O priests, and attend, O house of Israel, And, O house of the king, give ear, For the judgment [is] for you, For you have been a snare on Mizpah, And a net spread out on Tabor.
SACERDOTES, oid esto, y estad atentos, casa de Israel; y casa del rey, escuchad: porque á vosotros es el juicio, pues habéis sido lazo en Mizpa, y red extendida sobre Tabor.
2 And to slaughter sinners have gone deep, And I [am] a chain to them all.
Y haciendo víctimas han bajado hasta el profundo: por tanto yo seré la corrección de todos ellos.
3 I have known Ephraim, And Israel has not been hid from Me, For now you have gone whoring, Ephraim, Israel is defiled.
Yo conozco á Ephraim, é Israel no me es desconocido: porque ahora, oh Ephraim, has fornicado, y se ha contaminado Israel.
4 They do not give up their habitual doings, To turn back to their God, For a spirit of whoredoms [is] in their midst, And YHWH they have not known.
No pondrán sus pensamientos en volverse á su Dios, porque espíritu de fornicación está en medio de ellos, y no conocen á Jehová.
5 And humbled has been the excellence of Israel to his face, And Israel and Ephraim stumble by their iniquity, Judah has also stumbled with them.
Y la soberbia de Israel le desmentirá en su cara: é Israel y Ephraim tropezarán en su pecado: tropezará también Judá con ellos.
6 With their flock and with their herd, They go to seek YHWH, and do not find, He has withdrawn from them.
Con sus ovejas y con sus vacas andarán buscando á Jehová, y no le hallarán; apartóse de ellos.
7 Against YHWH they dealt treacherously, For they have begotten strange sons, Now a month consumes them [with] their portions.
Contra Jehová prevaricaron, porque hijos extraños han engendrado: ahora los devorará un mes con sus heredades.
8 Blow a horn in Gibeah, a trumpet in Ramah, Shout, O Beth-Aven, after you, O Benjamin.
Tocad bocina en Gabaa, trompeta en Ramá: sonad tambor en Beth-aven: tras ti, oh Benjamín.
9 Ephraim is for a desolation in a day of reproof, I have made known a sure thing among the tribes of Israel.
Ephraim será asolado el día del castigo: en las tribus de Israel hice conocer verdad.
10 Princes of Judah have been as those removing a border, I pour out My wrath as water on them.
Los príncipes de Judá fueron como los que traspasan mojones: derramaré sobre ellos como agua mi ira.
11 Ephraim is oppressed, broken in judgment, When he pleased he went after the command.
Ephraim es vejado, quebrantado en juicio, porque quiso andar en pos de mandamientos.
12 And I [am] as a moth to Ephraim, And as a rotten thing to the house of Judah.
Yo pues seré como polilla á Ephraim, y como carcoma á la casa de Judá.
13 And Ephraim sees his sickness, and Judah his wound, And Ephraim goes to Asshur, And sends to a warlike king, And he is not able to give healing to you, Nor does he remove a scar from you.
Y verá Ephraim su enfermedad, y Judá su llaga: irá entonces Ephraim al Assur, y enviará al rey Jareb; mas él no os podrá sanar, ni os curará la llaga.
14 For I [am] as a lion to Ephraim, And as a young lion to the house of Judah, I tear and go, I carry away, and there is no deliverer.
Porque yo seré como león á Ephraim, y como cachorro de león á la casa de Judá: yo, yo arrebataré, y andaré; tomaré, y no habrá quien liberte.
15 I go—I return to My place, Until they are desolate, and have sought My face. In their distress they seek Me speedily!”
Andaré, y tornaré á mi lugar hasta que conozcan su pecado, y busquen mi rostro. En su angustia madrugarán á mí.
