Hosea 8
1 'Unto thy mouth — a trumpet, As an eagle against the house of Jehovah, Because they transgressed My covenant, And against My law they have rebelled.
Pon a tu boca trompeta. Vendrá como águila contra la Casa del SEÑOR, porque traspasaron mi pacto, y se rebelaron contra mi ley.
2 To Me they cry, 'My God, we — Israel — have known Thee.'
A mí clamará Israel: Dios mío, te hemos conocido.
3 Cast off good hath Israel, an enemy pursueth him.
Israel desamparó el bien; el enemigo lo perseguirá.
4 They have made kings, and not by Me, They have made princes, and I have not known, Their silver and their gold they have made to them idols, So that they are cut off.
Ellos reinaron, mas no por mí; hicieron señorío, mas yo no lo supe; de su plata y de su oro hicieron ídolos para sí, para ser talados.
5 Cast off hath thy calf, O Samaria, Burned hath Mine anger against them, Till when are they not capable of purity?
Tu becerro, oh Samaria, te hizo alejar; se encendió mi enojo contra ellos, hasta que no pudieron ser absueltos.
6 For even it [is] of Israel; an artificer made it, And it [is] not God, For the calf of Samaria is fragments!
Porque de Israel es, y artífice lo hizo; que no es Dios; porque en pedazos será deshecho el becerro de Samaria.
7 For wind they sow, and a hurricane they reap, Stalk it hath none — a shoot not yielding grain, If so be it yield — strangers do 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 hath been swallowed up, Now they have been among nations, As a vessel in which is no delight.
Será tragado Israel; presto serán tenidos entre los gentiles como vaso en que no hay contentamiento.
9 For they — they have gone up [to] Asshur, A wild ass alone by himself [is] Ephraim, They have hired lovers!
Porque ellos subieron a Assur, asno montés para sí solo; Efraín con salario alquiló amantes.
10 Also though they hire among nations, Now I gather them, and they are pained a little, From the burden of a king of princes.
Aunque se alquilen a los gentiles, ahora los juntaré; y serán un poco afligidos por la carga del rey y de los príncipes.
11 Because Ephraim did multiply altars to sin, They have been to him altars to sin.
Porque multiplicó Efraín altares para pecar, tuvo altares para pecar.
12 I write for him numerous things of My law, As a strange thing they have been reckoned.
Le escribí las grandezas de mi ley, y fueron tenidas por cosas ajenas.
13 The sacrifices of Mine offerings! They sacrifice flesh, and they eat, Jehovah hath not accepted them, Now doth He remember their iniquity, And inspect their sin, They — [to] Egypt they turn back.
En los sacrificios de mis dones sacrificaron carne, y comieron; no los quiso el SEÑOR; ahora se acordará de su iniquidad, y visitará su pecado; ellos se tornarán a Egipto.
14 And forget doth Israel his Maker, and buildeth temples, And Judah hath multiplied cities of defence, And I have sent a fire into his cities, And it hath consumed their palaces!
Olvidó, pues, Israel a su Hacedor, y edificó templos, y Judá multiplicó ciudades fuertes: mas yo meteré fuego en sus ciudades, el cual devorará sus palacios.
