Oseas 7
1 Al curar Yo a Israel, se ha descubierto la iniquidad de Efraím y la perversidad de Samaria: practican la mentira; por dentro hay ladrones, y por fuera roban bandidos.
When I have healed Israel, then shall the iniquity of Ephraim be revealed, and the wickedness of Samaria; for they have wrought falsehood: and a thief shall come in to him, [even] a robber spoiling in his way;
2 No piensan en su corazón que Yo me acuerdo de todas sus maldades. Ahora los rodean sus obras que están ante mi vista.
that they may concert together as [men] singing in their heart: I remember all their wickedness: now have their own counsels compassed them about; they came before my face.
3 Regocijan al rey con sus perversidades, y a los príncipes con sus mentiras.
They gladdened kings with their wickedness, and princes with their lies.
4 Son adúlteros todos, como horno encendido por el hornero; este cesa de atizar (el fuego), mientras se amasa, hasta la fermentación.
They are all adulterers, as an oven glowing with flame for hot-baking, on account of the kneading of the dough, until it is leavened.
5 En la fiesta de nuestro rey, los príncipes loquearon tomados de vino; y él tendió su mano a los burladores.
[In] the days of our kings, the princes began to be inflamed with wine: he stretched out his hand with pestilent fellows.
6 Porque ellos se acercaron, siendo como horno su corazón mientras le acechaban. Toda la noche durmió su hornero, y a la mañana el (horno) ardió cual llama abrasadora.
Therefore their hearts are inflamed as an oven, while they rage all the night: Ephraim is satisfied with sleep; the morning is come; he is burnt up as a flame of fire.
7 Todos están encendidos como un horno; devoran a sus jueces, todos sus reyes han caído; no hay entre ellos quien clame a Mí.
They are all heated like an oven, and have devoured their judges: all their kings are fallen; there was not amongst them one that called on me.
8 Efraím se ha mezclado con los pueblos; Efraím es una torta a la cual no se ha dado vuelta.
Ephraim is mixed amongst his people; Ephraim became a cake not turned.
9 Los extranjeros han devorado su fuerza, y él no se dio cuenta; también las canas se esparcieron sobre él sin que lo advirtiera.
Strangers devoured his strength, and he knew [it] not; and grey hairs came upon him, and he knew [it] not.
10 La soberbia de Israel se manifiesta en su misma cara; pero no se convierten a Yahvé su Dios, y con todo esto no lo buscan.
And the pride of Israel shall be brought down before his face: yet they have not returned to the Lord their God, neither have they diligently sought him for all this.
11 Efraím ha venido a ser como una paloma tonta y falta de entendimiento: llaman a Egipto, acuden a Asiria.
And Ephraim was as a silly dove, not having a heart: he called to Egypt, and they went to the Assyrians.
12 Pero mientras vayan, tenderé sobre ellos mi red; los haré caer cual ave del cielo; los castigaré según lo anunciado en sus asambleas.
Whenever they shall go, I will cast my net upon them; I will bring them down as the birds of the sky, I will chasten them with the rumour of their [coming] affliction.
13 ¡Ay de ellos porque se han apartado de Mí! ¡Ruina sobre ellos, por cuanto contra Mí se han rebelado! Yo iba a salvarlos, pero ellos hablaban mentiras de Mí.
Woe to them! for they have started aside from me: they are cowards; for they have sinned against me: yet I redeemed them, but they spoke falsehoods against me.
14 Y no me invocan de corazón cuando gimen sobre sus camas; es por el trigo y el vino por lo que se preocupan; así se apartan de Mí.
And their hearts did not cry to me, but they howled on their beds: they pined for oil and wine.
15 Yo les he enseñado, he dado vigor a sus brazos, pero ellos maquinan contra Mí el mal.
They were instructed by me, and I strengthened their arms; and they devised evils against me.
16 Vuelven a sacudir el yugo, son como arco engañoso. Sus príncipes caerán a espada, en castigo de la saña de su lengua. Por eso se mofarán de ellos en la tierra de Egipto.
They turned aside to that which is not, they became as a bent bow: their princes shall fall by the sword, by reason of the unbridled state of their tongue: this is their setting at nothing in the land of Egypt.
