Hosea 8
1 “To your mouth—a horn, As an eagle against the house of YHWH, Because they transgressed My covenant, And against My law they have rebelled.
¡Pon la trompeta en tus labios! ¡Como águila viene contra la Casa de Yavé, porque violaron mi Pacto y se rebelaron contra mi Ley!
2 To Me they cry, My God, we—Israel—have known You.
A Mí clamarán: ¡ʼElohim mío, nosotros te conocemos!
3 Israel has cast off good, an enemy pursues him.
Pero Israel rechazó lo bueno, el enemigo lo perseguirá.
4 They have made kings, and not by Me, They have made princes, and I have not known, Their silver and their gold they have made to them idols, So that they are cut off.
Designaron reyes sin intervención mía. Constituyeron gobernantes sin mi aprobación. Con su plata y con su oro hicieron ídolos para su destrucción.
5 Your calf has cast off, O Samaria, My anger has burned against them; Until when are they not capable of purity?
Él rechaza tu becerro, oh Samaria. Mi ira se encendió contra ellos. ¿Hasta cuándo son incapaces de lograr purificación?
6 For even it [is] of Israel; a craftsman made it, And it [is] not God, For the calf of Samaria is fragments!
Porque de Israel es aun esto. El artífice lo hizo, no es ʼElohim. ¡Será destrozado el becerro de Samaria!
7 For wind they sow, and a windstorm they reap, Stalk it has none—a shoot not yielding grain, If so be it yield—strangers swallow it up.
Sembraron viento y cosecharán tempestad. No tendrán cosecha, ni la espiga producirá harina. Y si la produce, extraños la comerán.
8 Israel has been swallowed up, Now they have been among nations, As a vessel in which is no delight.
Israel será devorado. Será una vasija inútil entre las naciones.
9 For they have gone up [to] Asshur, A wild donkey alone by himself [is] Ephraim, They have hired lovers!
Porque fueron a Asiria y Efraín como asno solitario. j Alquiló amantes.
10 Also though they hire among nations, Now I gather them, and they are pained a little, From the burden of a king of princes.
Pero aunque alquilen entre las naciones, ahora los reuniré y serán afligidos un poco por la carga del rey de los príncipes.
11 Because Ephraim multiplied altars to sin, They have been to him altars to sin.
Efraín multiplicó los altares para pecar. Para él son altares para pecar.
12 I write for him numerous things of My law, As a strange thing they have been reckoned.
Le escribí las grandezas de mi Ley. Fueron recibidas como cosa extraña.
13 The sacrifices of My offerings! They sacrifice flesh, and they eat, YHWH has not accepted them, Now He remembers their iniquity, And inspects their sin, They return [to] Egypt.
Aunque en los sacrificios de mis ofrendas sacrifican y coman carne, Yavé no las aceptará. Se acuerda de su iniquidad y castigará sus pecados. Volverán a Egipto.
14 And Israel forgets his Maker, and builds temples, And Judah has multiplied cities of defense, And I have sent a fire into his cities, And it has consumed their palaces!”
Porque Israel olvidó a su Hacedor y edificó palacios. Judá multiplicó ciudades fortificadas. Pero Yo encenderé un fuego en sus ciudades que consumirá sus palacios.
