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.
¡Oigan esto, sacerdotes! ¡Atiendan, oh Casa de Israel! Presten atención, oh casa real. A ustedes afecta esta sentencia, porque fueron trampa en Mizpa, red tendida en la montaña Tabor,
2 The rebels are deep in slaughter; but I discipline all of them.
y fosa cavada en Sitim. Yo los castigaré a todos.
3 I know Ephraim, and Israel is not hidden from me; for now, Ephraim, you have played the prostitute. Israel is defiled.
Conozco a Efraín, e Israel no se me oculta. Tú, Efraín, incitaste a la prostitución, e Israel se contaminó.
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 the LORD.
Sus obras no los dejan volver a su ʼElohim, porque un espíritu de prostitución está dentro de ellos, y no conocen a Yavé.
5 The pride of Israel testifies to his face. Therefore Israel and Ephraim will stumble in their iniquity. Judah also will stumble with them.
La soberbia de Israel testifica contra él mismo. Israel y Efraín tropezaron en su pecado, y Judá tropezará con ellos.
6 They will go with their flocks and with their herds to seek the LORD; but they won't find him. He has withdrawn himself from them.
Con sus rebaños y manadas de ganado vacuno Irán a buscar a Yavé, pero no lo hallarán. Él se apartó de ellos.
7 They are unfaithful to the LORD; for they have borne illegitimate children. Now the new moon will devour them with their fields.
Ellos traicionaron a Yavé, porque engendraron hijos ilegítimos. Ahora los devorará la luna nueva junto con su tierra.
8 "Blow the cornet in Gibeah, and the trumpet in Ramah. Sound a battle cry at Beth Aven, behind you, Benjamin.
¡Toquen la trompeta en Gabaa y la trompeta en Ramá! ¡Toquen la alarma en Bet-avén! ¡Detrás de ti, oh Benjamín!
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.
Efraín será asolado el día del castigo. Entre las tribus de Israel declaro lo que es seguro.
10 The princes of Judah are like those who remove a landmark. I will pour out my wrath on them like water.
Los gobernantes de Judá son como los que desplazan linderos. Derramaré mi ira sobre ellos como el agua.
11 Ephraim is oppressed, he is crushed in judgment; Because he is intent in his pursuit of idols.
Efraín está oprimido, sus derechos violados, porque quiso seguir mandatos.
12 Therefore I am to Ephraim like a moth, and to the house of Judah like rottenness.
Yo seré, pues, como polilla a Efraín, 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.
Cuando Efraín vio su enfermedad, y Judá miró su llaga, entonces Efraín fue a Asiria y acudió al rey Jareb. Pero él no puede sanarlos, ni curar su 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 un león para Efraín, y como un leoncillo para la Casa de Judá. Yo, Yo mismo haré presa y me iré. La llevo, y no hay quien me la quite.
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."
Me iré y regresaré a mi lugar hasta que reconozcan su pecado y busquen mi rostro. En su aflicción me buscarán sinceramente.
