Oseas 2

1 Decid a vuestros hermanos «Ammí», y a vuestras hermanas «Ruhama».

“Say to your brothers—Ammi, And to your sisters—Ruhamah.

2 ¡Acusad a vuestra madre, acusadla! Porque ella no es mi mujer, ni Yo soy su marido; aparte de su rostro sus fornicaciones y de su seno sus adulterios;

Plead with your mother—plead (For she [is] not My wife, and I [am] not her husband), And she turns her whoredoms from before her, And her adulteries from between her breasts,

3 No sea que Yo la despoje, dejándola desnuda, y la ponga (tal como estaba) en el día de su nacimiento, y la haga semejante a un desierto, y la convierta en una tierra árida, y la mate de sed.

Lest I strip her naked. And have set her up as [in] the day of her birth, And have made her as a wilderness, And have set her as a dry land, And have put her to death with thirst.

4 No me compadeceré de sus hijos; porque son hijos de fornicación.

And her sons I do not pity, For they [are] sons of whoredoms,

5 Pues su madre ha cometido fornicación; ha quedado sin honor la que los dio a luz; pues ella dijo: «Iré en pos de mis amantes, que son los que me dan mi pan y mi agua, mi lana y mi lino, mi aceite y mi bebida.»

For their mother has gone whoring, Their conceiver has acted shamefully, For she has said, I go after my lovers, Those giving my bread and my water, My wool and my flax, my oil and my drink.

6 Por eso, he aquí que voy a cerrar tu camino con zarzas; la cercaré con un muro para que no pueda hallar sus senderos.

Therefore, behold, I am hedging up your way with thorns, And I have made a wall for her, And her paths she does not find.

7 Irá en pos de sus amantes, pero no los alcanzará; los buscará y no los hallará. Luego dirá: «Iré y volveré a mi primer marido, pues entonces me iba mejor que ahora.»

And she has pursued her lovers, And she does not overtake them, And has sought them, and does not find [them], And she has said: I go, and I return to my first husband, For—better to me then than now.

8 No reconoció ella que Yo fui quien le di el trigo, el vino y el aceite, y le multipliqué la plata y el oro, empleado para Baal.

And she did not know that I had given to her The grain, and the new wine, and the oil. Indeed, I multiplied silver to her, And the gold they prepared for Ba‘al.

9 Por eso le quitaré mi trigo a su tiempo, y mi vino al tiempo señalado; y recobraré mi lana y mi lino con que cubre su desnudez.

Therefore I return, And I have taken My grain in its season, And My new wine in its appointed time, And I have taken away My wool and My flax, covering her nakedness.

10 Mas ahora descubriré sus vergüenzas a los ojos de sus amantes; y no habrá quien la libre de mi mano.

And now I reveal her dishonor before the eyes of her lovers, And none deliver her out of My hand.

11 Haré cesar toda su alegría, sus fiestas, sus novilunios y sus sábados, y todas sus solemnidades.

And I have caused all her joy to cease, Her festival, her new moon, and her Sabbath, Even all her appointed times,

12 Devastaré sus viñas y sus higueras, de las cuales ella decía: «Estas son el salario que me han dado mis amantes». Las convertiré en un matorral y las devorarán las bestias del campo.

And made desolate her vine and her fig tree, Of which she said, They [are] a wage to me, That my lovers have given to me, And I have made them for a forest, And a beast of the field has consumed them.

13 La castigaré por los días de los Baales a los cuales ella quemaba incienso, cuando adornándose con sus zarcillos y collares, y yendo en pos de sus amantes se olvidaba de Mí, dice Yahvé.

And I have charged on her the days of the Ba‘alim, To whom she makes incense, And puts on her ring and her ornament, And goes after her lovers, And forgot Me,” a declaration of YHWH.

14 Por eso Yo la atraeré y la llevaré a la soledad y le hablaré al corazón.

“Therefore, behold, I am enticing her, And have caused her to go to the wilderness, And I have spoken to her heart,

15 Y desde allí le devolveré sus viñas, y el Valle de Acor como puerta de esperanza; y ella cantará allí, como en los días de su juventud, como el día en que subió de Egipto.

And given to her her vineyards from there, And the Valley of Achor for an opening of hope, And she has responded there as in the days of her youth, And as in the day of her coming up out of the land of Egypt.

16 En aquel día, dice Yahvé, me llamarás: «Señor mío», y no me llamarás ya: «Mi Baal».

And it has come to pass in that day,” A declaration of YHWH, “You call Me: My husband, And do not call Me anymore: My lord.

17 Pues quitaré, de su boca los nombres de los Baales, y nunca jamás serán mencionados por sus nombres.

And I have turned aside the names of the lords from her mouth, And they are not remembered anymore by their name.

18 En aquel día haré en favor de ellos alianza con las fieras del campo, con las aves del cielo y con los reptiles de la tierra; quebraré en la tierra arco, espada y guerra, y haré que reposen seguros.

And I have made a covenant for them in that day, With the beast of the field, And with the bird of the heavens, And the creeping thing of the ground, And bow, and sword, and war I break from off the land, And have caused them to lie down confidently.

19 Y te desposaré conmigo para siempre; te desposaré conmigo en justicia y juicio, en misericordia y piedad.

And I have betrothed you to Me for all time, And betrothed you to Me in righteousness, And in judgment, and kindness, and mercies,

20 Te desposaré conmigo en fidelidad, y reconocerás a Yahvé.

And betrothed you to Me in faithfulness, And you have known YHWH.

21 En aquel día responderé, dice Yahvé; sí, Yo responderé a los cielos, y ellos responderán a la tierra;

And it has come to pass in that day, I answer,” A declaration of YHWH, “I answer the heavens, and they answer the earth.

22 y la tierra responderá al trigo, al vino y al aceite; y estos responderán a Jezrael.

And the earth answers the grain, And the new wine, and the oil, And they answer Jezreel.

23 Sembraré a (Israel) para Mí en la tierra; y me compadeceré de Lo-Ruhama, y al que dije “Lo-Ammí”, le diré: “Pueblo mío eres”; y él dirá: “Tú eres mi Dios.”

And I have sowed her to Me in the land, And I have pitied Lo-Ruhamah, And I have said to Lo-Ammi, You [are] My people, And he says, My God!”
