Oséias 7
1 Sarando eu a Israel, se descobriu a iniquidade de Ephraim, como também as maldades de Samaria, porque obraram a falsidade; e o ladrão entra, e a tropa dos salteadores despoja por fora.
When I was willing to heal Israel, the iniquity of Ephraim was discovered, and the malice of Samaria, for they had been manufacturing lies. And the thief steals from inside, the robber from outside.
2 E não dizem no seu coração que eu me lembro de toda a sua maldade: agora, pois, os cercam as suas obras; diante da minha face estão.
And, so that they may not say in their hearts that I am the one who has called to mind all of their wickedness: now their own inventions have encircled them. These things have happened in my presence.
3 Com a sua malícia alegram ao rei, e com as suas maneiras aos príncipes.
The king has rejoiced at their wickedness, and the leaders have rejoiced in their lies.
4 Todos juntamente adulteram: semelhantes são ao forno aceso pelo padeiro, que cessa de vigiar, depois que amassou a massa, até que seja levedada.
They are all adulterers; like an oven heating up before baking, the city rested a little before the leaven was mixed in, until the whole was leavened.
5 E o dia do nosso rei os príncipes o fazem adoecer, por esquentamento do vinho: estende a sua mão com os escarnecedores.
On the day of our king, the leaders began to be mad with wine; he extended his hand with those who fabricate illusions.
6 Porque, como um forno, aplicaram o coração, emboscando-se; toda a noite dorme o seu padeiro, pela manhã arde como fogo de chama.
For they have used their heart like an oven, while he laid snares for them; he slept through the night baking them, and by morning he himself was heated like a burning fire.
7 Todos juntos se esquentam como o forno, e consomem os seus juízes: todos os seus reis caem, ninguém entre eles há que clame a mim.
They have all become hot like an oven, and they have devoured their judges. All their kings have fallen. There is no one who calls to me among them.
8 Ephraim com os povos se mistura; Ephraim é um bolo que não foi virado.
Ephraim himself has been mingled with the nations. Ephraim has become like bread, baked under ashes, that has not been turned over.
9 Estrangeiros lhe comeram a força, e não o sabe; também as cãs se espalharam sobre ele, e não o sabe.
Strangers have devoured his strength, and he did not know it. And grey hairs also have spread across him, and he is ignorant of it.
10 E a soberba de Israel testificará em sua face; e não voltarão para o Senhor seu Deus, nem o buscarão em tudo isto.
And the pride of Israel will be brought low before his face, for they have not returned to the Lord their God, nor have they sought him in all of this.
11 Porque Ephraim é como uma pomba enganada, sem entendimento: invocam o Egito, vão para a Assyria.
And Ephraim has become like a pigeon that has been led astray, not having a heart; for they called upon Egypt, they went to the Assyrians.
12 Quando forem, sobre eles estenderei a minha rede, e como aves do céu os farei descer: castiga-los-ei, conforme ao que eles tem ouvido na sua congregação.
And when they will set out, I will spread my net over them. I will pull them down like the birds of the sky; I will cut them down in accordance with the reports of their meetings.
13 Ai deles, porque fugiram de mim: destruição sobre eles, porque se rebelaram contra mim: eu os remi, porém falam mentiras contra mim.
Woe to them, for they have withdrawn from me. They will waste away because they have been dishonest with me. And I redeemed them, and they have spoken lies against me.
14 E não clamaram a mim do seu coração, quando davam uivos nas suas camas; para o trigo e para o vinho se ajuntam, mas contra mim se rebelam.
And they have not cried out to me in their heart, but they howled on their beds. They have obsessed about wheat and wine; they have withdrawn from me.
15 Eu os castiguei, e lhes esforcei os braços, mas pensam mal contra mim.
And I have educated them, and I have reinforced their arms; and they have imagined evil against me.
16 Tornaram-se, mas não ao altíssimo. Fizeram-se como um arco enganoso: caem à espada os seus príncipes, por causa da colera da sua língua; este será o seu escarneio na terra do Egito.
They returned so that they might be without a yoke. They have become like a deceitful bow. Their leaders will fall by the sword because of the madness of their words. This is their derision in the land of Egypt.
