Hosea 6
1 [The Israeli people say, ] “Come, let’s return to Yahweh! He has caused [us] to be injured, but he will heal us. He has caused [us] to be wounded, but [it is as though] he will put bandages on our wounds [MET].
VENID y volvámonos á Jehová: que él arrebató, y nos curará; hirió, y nos vendará.
2 After a very short time he will revive us; in less than three days he will restore us in order that we may live in his presence.
Darános vida después de dos días: al tercer día nos resucitará, y viviremos delante de él.
3 We must try to know Yahweh; [if we do that, ] he will come [and help] us, as surely as the sun rises [every morning], as surely as rain falls every winter/cold season, and as surely as the rain falls again (in the springtime/at the end of the cold season).”
Y conoceremos, y proseguiremos en conocer á Jehová: como el alba está aparejada su salida, y vendrá á nosotros como la lluvia, como la lluvia tardía [y] temprana á la tierra.
4 [But Yahweh knows they are insincere; ] [so he says to them, ] “You [people of] Israel, and you [people of] Judah, [I do not know] [RHQ] what I should do to you. Your being faithful [to me will disappear as quickly] as [SIM] the morning mist [disappears], like [SIM] the dew [on the ground] that disappears quickly [when the sun shines].
¿Qué haré á ti, Ephraim? ¿Qué haré á ti, oh Judá? La piedad vuestra es como la nube de la mañana, y como el rocío que de madrugada viene.
5 I warned [HYP] you by [the messages that I gave to] the prophets, [but you did not pay attention to my messages]. Therefore I will completely destroy you; the punishment that I give you will strike you like lightning.
Por esta causa corté con los profetas, con las palabras de mi boca los maté; y tus juicios serán [como] luz que sale.
6 I want [my people] to faithfully love [me] more than [I want them to offer] sacrifices [to me]; [I want them] to know me more than [I want them to] completely burn sacrifices [on the altar].
Porque misericordia quise, y no sacrificio; y conocimiento de Dios más que holocaustos.
7 But they have refused to obey my agreement, [just] like Adam did; they have not been faithful to me.
Mas ellos, cual Adam, traspasaron el pacto: allí prevaricaron contra mí.
8 Gilead is a city [full] of people who do wicked things; [in the streets] are the bloody footprints [of those who have murdered others].
Galaad, ciudad de obradores de iniquidad, ensuciada de sangre.
9 The priests are like [SIM] bandits who wait (in ambushes/along the road) to attack people; they murder [people who are walking] on the road to Shechem, and they commit other disgraceful crimes.
Y como ladrones que esperan á [algún] hombre, así junta de sacerdotes mancomunadamente mata en el camino: porque ponen en efecto la abominación.
10 I have seen horrible things [being done] in Israel [MTY]. The people have abandoned me [like prostitutes who have abandoned their husbands] [MET]; [so the people of] Israel have become unacceptable to me.
En la casa de Israel he visto suciedad: allí fornicó Ephraim, se contaminó Israel:
11 And you [people of] Judah, I have appointed a time when I will punish [MET] you, too. Whenever I wanted to enable my people to prosper again,”
También Judá puso en ti [una] planta, habiendo yo vuelto la cautividad de mi pueblo.
