Hosea 8
1 "Put the trumpet to your lips. Something like an eagle is over the LORD's house, because they have broken my covenant, and rebelled against my law.
“¡Pon la trompeta en tus labios! Algo así como un águila está sobre la casa de Yahvé, porque han roto mi pacto y se rebelaron contra mi ley.
2 They cry to me, 'My God, we Israel acknowledge you.'
Me gritan: ‘¡Dios mío, nosotros, Israel, te reconocemos!
3 Israel has cast off that which is good. The enemy will pursue him.
Israel ha abandonado lo que es bueno. El enemigo lo perseguirá.
4 They have set up kings, but not by me. They have made princes, and I did not approve. Of their silver and their gold they have made themselves idols, that they may be cut off.
Han puesto reyes, pero no por mí. Han hecho príncipes, y yo no lo he aprobado. De su plata y su oro se han hecho ídolos, para que sean cortados.
5 Let Samaria throw out his calf idol. My anger burns against them. How long will it be until they are capable of purity?
¡Que Samaria arroje su ídolo del becerro! ¡Mi ira arde contra ellos! ¿Cuánto tiempo pasará hasta que sean capaces de la pureza?
6 For this is even from Israel. The workman made it, and it is no God; indeed, the calf of Samaria shall be broken in pieces.
¡Pues esto es incluso de Israel! El obrero lo hizo, y no es Dios; En efecto, el becerro de Samaria será despedazado.
7 For they sow the wind, and they will reap the whirlwind. He has no standing grain. The stalk will yield no head. If it does yield, strangers will swallow it up.
Porque ellos siembran el viento, y cosecharán el torbellino. No tiene grano en pie. El tallo no producirá ninguna cabeza. Si cede, los extraños se lo tragarán.
8 Israel is swallowed up. Now they are among the nations like a worthless thing.
Israel es tragado. Ahora están entre las naciones como una cosa sin valor.
9 For they have gone up to Assyria, like a wild donkey wandering alone. Ephraim has hired lovers for himself.
Porque han subido a Asiria, como un burro salvaje que vaga solo. Efraín ha contratado amantes para sí mismo.
10 But although they sold themselves among the nations, I will now gather them; and they begin to waste away because of the oppression of the king of mighty ones.
Pero aunque se vendieron entre las naciones, Ahora los reuniré; y comienzan a consumirse a causa de la opresión del rey de los poderosos.
11 Because Ephraim has multiplied altars for sinning, they became for him altars for sinning.
Porque Efraín ha multiplicado los altares para pecar, se convirtieron para él en altares para pecar.
12 I wrote for him the many things of my law; but they were regarded as a strange thing.
Le escribí las muchas cosas de mi ley, pero fueron considerados como algo extraño.
13 As for the sacrifices of my offerings, they sacrifice flesh and eat it; But the LORD doesn't accept them. Now he will remember their iniquity, and punish their sins. They will return to Egypt, and will eat unclean things in Assyria.
En cuanto a los sacrificios de mis ofrendas, sacrifican carne y la comen, pero Yahvé no los acepta. Ahora se acordará de su iniquidad, y castigar sus pecados. Volverán a Egipto.
14 For Israel has forgotten his Maker and built palaces; and Judah has multiplied fortified cities; but I will send a fire on his cities, and it will devour its fortresses."
Porque Israel se ha olvidado de su Hacedor y ha construido palacios; y Judá ha multiplicado las ciudades fortificadas; pero yo enviaré un fuego sobre sus ciudades, y devorará sus fortalezas”.
