Oseas 2

1 “Ese día llamarás a tus hermanos Ammi, y a tus hermanas Ruhama.

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

2 Condenen a su madre, condénenla porque no es mi esposa y yo no soy su esposo. Pídanle que deje de lucir como una prostituta, y que se quite el maquillaje y las vestiduras provocativas.

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 “De lo contrario la dejaré desnuda, tal como el día en que nació, y la convertiré en un desierto, en un terreno árido, y la dejaré morir 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 tendré piedad de sus hijos porque son hijos de prostitución.

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

5 Pues su madre era un prostituta que los concibió de manera vergonzosa. Ella dijo: ‘Buscaré a mis amantes que me proveen comida y agua, así como la lana, el lino, el aceite de oliva y me dan de beber’.

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 voy a obstaculizar su camino con arbustos de espinas, y construiré un muro de piedra para detenerla y que no encuentre forma de continuar.

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 Cuando vaya en busca de sus amantes no podrá hallarlos; los buscará pero no los encontrará. Entonces dirá: ‘Volveré a mi ex esposo, porque estaba mejor con él 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 “A ella se le olvidó que yo fui quien le dio grano, vino nuevo y aceite de oliva, así como la plata y el oro que le di en abundancia y que usaron para hacerle un ídolo a 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 Así que recuperaré mi grano maduro y mi nuevo vino que di en tiempo de cosecha. Recuperaré mi lana y el lino que le di para cubrir 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 La dejaré desnuda ante la mirada de sus amantes, y ninguno podrá rescatarla de mi.

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

11 Pondré fin a sus festividades: sus fiestas, celebraciones de luna nueva, sus días de reposo, y todos sus festivales.

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

12 Destruiré sus viñedos e higueras que decía haber recibido como pago por ser una prostituta. Los convertiré en matorrales y solo los animales salvajes comerán de los frutos que queden.

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 Yo la castigaré por todas las veces que le ofreció incienso a Baal, vestida, usando anillos y joyas, buscando a sus amantes, y olvidándose de mi, dice el Señor.

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 “Miren lo que voy a hacer: Haré que vuelva a mi, la llevaré al desierto, y allí hablaré a su corazón.

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

15 Le devolveré los viñedos y convertiré el Valle de Acor en una puerta de esperanza. Ella me responderá de la misma manera que lo hizo cuando era joven, como cuando salió 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 Ese día, dice el Señor, tú me volverás a llamar ‘mi esposo’ y no ‘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 Haré que deje de invocar a los baales, y sus nombres no serán mencionados nunca más.

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

18 “En ese momento haré un acuerdo solemne con los animales salvajes y las aves del cielo, así como todo lo que se arrastra sobre el suelo. Voy a deshacerme del arco y la espada; aboliré la guerra de la tierra para que puedas acostarte en paz.

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 Serás mi esposa para siempre. Te haré mi esposa en bondad y justicia.

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 Seré fiel a ti, mi esposa, y tú me reconocerás como el Señor.

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

21 Ese día, declara el Señor, yo le responderé a los cielos y ellos le 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 La tierra responderá al grano, y al nuevo vino, y al aceite de oliva y ellos responderán ‘Jezreel’ (Dios muestra).

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

23 Yo la ‘sembraré’ para mi mismo en la tierra. Amaré a Lo-ruhamah (no amada) y a Lo-ammi (no mi pueblo) le diré: ‘tú eres mi pueblo,’ y me 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!”
