Hosea 8
1 [Set] the trumpet to thy mouth. [He shall come] as an eagle against the house of the LORD, because they have transgressed my covenant, and trespassed against my law.
PON á tu boca trompeta. [Vendrá] como águila contra la casa de Jehová, porque traspasaron mi pacto, y se rebelaron contra mi ley.
2 Israel shall cry to me, My God, we know thee.
A mí clamará Israel: Dios mío, te hemos conocido.
3 Israel hath cast off [the thing that is] good: the enemy shall pursue him.
Israel desamparó el bien: enemigo lo perseguirá.
4 They have set up kings, but not by me: they have made princes, and I knew [it] not: of their silver and their gold have they made for themselves idols, that they may be cut off.
Ellos hicieron reyes, mas no por mí; constituyeron príncipes, mas yo no lo supe: de su plata y de su oro hicieron ídolos para sí, para ser talados.
5 Thy calf, O Samaria, hath cast [thee] off; my anger is kindled against them: how long [will it be] ere they attain to innocence?
Tu becerro, oh Samaria, te hizo alejar; encendióse mi enojo contra ellos, hasta que no pudieron alcanzar inocencia.
6 For from Israel [was] it also: the workman made it; therefore it [is] not God: but the calf of Samaria shall be broken in pieces.
Porque de Israel es, y artífice lo hizo; que no es Dios: por lo que en pedazos será deshecho el becerro de Samaria.
7 For they have sown the wind, and they shall reap the whirlwind: it hath no stalk: the bud shall yield no meal: if it shall yield, the strangers shall swallow it up.
Porque sembraron viento, y torbellino segarán: no tendrán mies, ni el fruto hará harina; si la hiciere, extraños la tragarán.
8 Israel is swallowed up: now shall they be among the Gentiles as a vessel in which [is] no pleasure.
Será tragado Israel: presto serán entre las gentes como vaso en que no hay contentamiento.
9 For they have gone up to Assyria, a wild ass alone by himself: Ephraim hath hired lovers.
Porque ellos subieron á Assur, asno montés para sí solo: Ephraim con salario alquiló amantes.
10 Yes, though they have hired among the nations, now will I gather them, and they shall sorrow a little for the burden of the king of princes.
Aunque alquilen á las gentes, ahora las juntaré; y serán un poco afligidos por la carga del rey y de los príncipes.
11 Because Ephraim hath made many altars to sin, altars shall be to him to sin.
Porque multiplicó Ephraim altares para pecar, tuvo altares para pecar.
12 I have written to him the great things of my law, [but] they were counted as a strange thing.
Escribíle las grandezas de mi ley, [y] fueron tenidas por cosas ajenas.
13 They sacrifice flesh [for] the sacrifices of my offerings, and eat [it]; [but] the LORD accepteth them not; now will he remember their iniquity, and visit their sins: they shall return to Egypt.
En los sacrificios de mis dones sacrificaron carne, y comieron: no los quiso Jehová: ahora se acordará de su iniquidad, y visitará su pecado; ellos se tornarán á Egipto.
14 For Israel hath forgotten his Maker, and buildeth temples; and Judah hath multiplied fortified cities: but I will send a fire upon his cities, and it shall devour the palaces thereof.
Olvidó pues Israel á su Hacedor, y edificó templos, y Judá multiplicó ciudades fuertes: mas yo meteré fuego en sus ciudades, el cual devorará sus palacios.
