Hosea 5
1 “Hear this, priests! Pay attention, house of Israel! Listen, house of the king! For judgment is coming against you all. You have been a snare at Mizpah and a net spread over Tabor.
Sacerdotes, oíd esto, y estad atentos, Casa de Israel; y Casa del Rey, escuchad: porque para vosotros es el juicio, pues habéis sido lazo en Mizpa, y red extendida sobre Tabor.
2 The rebels stand deep in slaughter, but I will punish all of them.
Y matando sacrificios han bajado hasta lo profundo; por tanto, yo seré la corrección de todos ellos.
3 I know Ephraim, and Israel is not hidden from me. Ephraim, now you have become like a prostitute; Israel is defiled.
Yo conozco a Efraín, e Israel no me es desconocido; porque ahora, oh Efraín, has fornicado, y se ha contaminado Israel.
4 Their deeds will not allow them to turn to God, for the mind of adultery is in them, and they do not know Yahweh.
No pondrán sus pensamientos en volverse a su Dios, porque espíritu de fornicación está en medio de ellos, y no conocen al SEÑOR.
5 The pride of Israel testifies against him; so Israel and Ephraim will stumble in their guilt; and Judah also will stumble with them.
Y la soberbia de Israel le desmentirá en su cara; e Israel y Efraín tropezarán en su pecado; tropezará también Judá con ellos.
6 They will go with their flocks and herds to seek Yahweh, but they will not find him, for he has withdrawn himself from them.
Con sus ovejas y con sus vacas andarán buscando al SEÑOR, y no le hallarán; se apartó de ellos.
7 They were unfaithful to Yahweh, for they have borne illegitimate children. Now the new moon festivals will devour them with their fields.
Contra el SEÑOR se rebelaron, porque engendraron hijos extraños; ahora los devorará un mes con sus heredades.
8 Blow the horn in Gibeah, and the trumpet in Ramah. Sound a battle cry at Beth Aven: 'We will follow you, Benjamin!'
Tocad el shofar en Gabaa, trompeta en Ramá; sonad tambor en Bet-avén; tras ti, oh Benjamín.
9 Ephraim will become a desolation on the day of punishment. Among the tribes of Israel I have declared what is certain to happen.
Efraín será asolado el día del castigo; en las tribus de Israel hice conocer mi verdad.
10 The leaders of Judah are like those who move a boundary stone. I will pour my wrath on them like water.
Los príncipes de Judá fueron como los que traspasan mojones; derramaré sobre ellos como agua mi ira.
11 Ephraim is crushed; he is crushed in judgment, because he has willingly walked after idols.
Efraín es vejado, quebrantado en juicio, porque quiso andar en pos de mandamientos.
12 So I will be like a moth to Ephraim, and like rot to the house of Judah.
Yo, pues, seré como polilla a Efraín, y como carcoma a la Casa de Judá.
13 When Ephraim saw his sickness, and Judah saw his wound, then Ephraim went to Assyria, and Judah sent messengers to the great king. But he was not able to cure you people or heal your wound.
Y verá Efraín su enfermedad, y Judá su llaga: irá entonces Efraín al Assur, y enviará al rey de Jareb; mas él no os podrá sanar, ni os curará la llaga.
14 So I will be like a lion to Ephraim, and like a young lion to the house of Judah. I, even I, will tear and go away; I will carry them off, and there will be no one to rescue them.
Porque yo seré como león a Efraín, 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 guilt and seek my face, until they earnestly seek me in their distress.”
Andaré, y tornaré a mi lugar, hasta que conozcan su pecado, y busquen mi rostro. En su angustia madrugarán a mí.
