Hosea 5

1 "Listen to this, you priests. Listen, house of Israel, and give ear, house of the king. For the judgment is against you; for you have been a snare at Mizpah, and a net spread on Tabor.

Sacerdotes, oíd esto, y estád atentos, casa de Israel, y casa del rey, escuchád; porque a vosotros es el juicio; porque habéis sido lazo en Maspad, y red extendida sobre Tabor.

2 The rebels are deep in slaughter; but I discipline all of them.

Y matando sacrificios han bajado hasta el profundo, y yo la corrección de todos ellos.

3 I know Ephraim, and Israel is not hidden from me; for now, Ephraim, you have played the prostitute. Israel is defiled.

Yo conozco a Efraím, e Israel no me es ignorado; porque ahora has fornicado, o! Efraím, y se ha contaminado Israel.

4 Their deeds won't allow them to turn to their God; for the spirit of prostitution is within them, and they do not know Jehovah.

No pondrán sus pensamientos en volverse a su Dios, porque espíritu de fornicación está en medio de ellos, y no conocen a Jehová.

5 The pride of Israel testifies to his face. Therefore Israel and Ephraim will stumble in their iniquity. Judah also will stumble with them.

Y la soberbia de Israel le desmentirá en su cara; e Israel y Efraím tropezarán en su pecado, tropezará también con ellos Judá.

6 They will go with their flocks and with their herds to seek Jehovah; but they won't find him. He has withdrawn himself from them.

Con sus ovejas, y con sus vacas andarán buscando a Jehová, y no le hallarán: apartóse de ellos.

7 They are unfaithful to Jehovah; for they have borne illegitimate children. Now the new moon will devour them with their fields.

Contra Jehová se rebelaron, porque engendraron hijos extraños: ahora los devorará mes con sus heredades.

8 "Blow the cornet in Gibeah, and the trumpet in Ramah. Sound a battle cry at Beth Aven, behind you, Benjamin.

Tocád bocina en Gabaa, trompeta en Rama: sonád atambor en Bet-aven, tras ti, o! Ben-jamín.

9 Ephraim will become a desolation in the day of rebuke. Among the tribes of Israel, I have made known that which will surely be.

Efraím será asolado el día del castigo: en las tribus de Israel hice conocer mi verdad.

10 The princes of Judah are like those who remove a landmark. I will pour out my wrath on them like water.

Los príncipes de Judá fueron como los que traspasan mojones: derramaré pues sobre ellos, como agua, mi ira.

11 Ephraim is oppressed, he is crushed in judgment; Because he is intent in his pursuit of idols.

Calumniado Efraím, quebrantado en juicio, porque quiso andar tras mandamientos.

12 Therefore I am to Ephraim like a moth, and to the house of Judah like rottenness.

Y yo seré como polilla a Efraím, y como carcoma a la casa de Judá.

13 "When Ephraim saw his sickness, and Judah his wound, Then Ephraim went to Assyria, and sent to king Jareb: but he is not able to heal you, neither will he cure you of your wound.

Y verá Efraím su enfermedad, y Judá su llaga; e irá Efraím al Asur, y enviará al rey de Jareb: mas él no os podrá sanar, ni os curará la llaga.

14 For I will be to Ephraim like a lion, and like a young lion to the house of Judah. I myself will tear in pieces and go away. I will carry off, and there will be no one to deliver.

Porque yo seré como león a Efraím, y como cachorro de león a la casa de Judá: yo, yo arrebataré, y andaré: tomaré, y no habrá quien escape.

15 I will go and return to my place, until they acknowledge their offense, and seek my face. In their affliction they will seek me earnestly."

Andaré, y tornaré a mi lugar, hasta que conozcan su pecado, y busquen mi faz: en su angustia madruguen a mí.
