Oseas 2

1 “Di a tus hermanos: “¡Pueblo mío!” y a tus hermanas: “¡Mi amada!”

Say to your brothers, Ammi; and to your sisters, Ruhamah.

2 ¡Discute con tu madre! Contad, porque no es mi mujer, tampoco soy su marido; y deja que aleje su prostitución de su rostro, y sus adulterios de entre sus pechos;

Take up the cause against your mother, take it up, for she is not my wife, and I am not her husband; let her put away her loose ways from her face, and her false ways from between her breasts;

3 para que no la desnude, y hacerla desnuda como en el día en que nació, y hacerla como un desierto, y la puso como tierra firme, y matarla de sed.

For fear that I may take away her robe from her, making her uncovered as in the day of her birth; making her like a waste place and a dry land, causing her death through need of water.

4 En efecto, con sus hijos no tendré piedad, porque son hijos de la infidelidad.

And I will have no mercy on her children, for they are the children of her loose ways.

5 Porque su madre ha hecho de prostituta. La que los concibió lo ha hecho vergonzosamente; pues dijo: “Iré tras mis amantes”, que me dan mi pan y mi agua, mi lana y mi lino, mi aceite y mi bebida”.

For their mother has been untrue; she who gave them birth has done things of shame, for she said, I will go after my lovers, who give me my bread and my water, my wool and my linen, my oil and my wine.

6 Por lo tanto, he aquí que voy a cercar tu camino con espinas, y construiré un muro contra ella, que no puede encontrar su camino.

For this cause I will put thorns in her road, building up a wall round her so that she may not go on her way.

7 Ella seguirá a sus amantes, pero no los alcanzará; y los buscará, pero no los encontrará. Entonces dirá: ‘Me iré y volveré con mi primer marido’, porque entonces era mejor conmigo que ahora’.

And if she goes after her lovers she will not overtake them; if she makes search for them she will not see them; then will she say, I will go back to my first husband, for then it was better for me than now.

8 Porque no sabía que le había dado el grano, el vino nuevo y el aceite, y le multiplicaron la plata y el oro, que usaron para Baal.

For she had no knowledge that it was I who gave her the grain and the wine and the oil, increasing her silver and gold which they gave to the Baal.

9 Por lo tanto, recuperaré mi grano en su momento, y mi vino nuevo en su temporada, y arrancará mi lana y mi lino que debían cubrir su desnudez.

So I will take away again my grain in its time and my wine, and I will take away my wool and my linen with which her body might have been covered.

10 Ahora descubriré su lascivia a la vista de sus amantes, y nadie la librará de mi mano.

And now I will make her shame clear before the eyes of her lovers, and no one will take her out of my hand.

11 También haré que cesen todas sus celebraciones: sus fiestas, sus lunas nuevas, sus sábados y todas sus asambleas solemnes.

And I will put an end to all her joy, her feasts, her new moons, and her Sabbaths, and all her regular meetings.

12 Asolaré sus viñas y sus higueras, sobre la que ha dicho: “Estos son mis salarios que mis amantes me han dado”. y yo les haré un bosque, y los animales del campo los comerán.

And I will make waste her vines and her fig-trees, of which she has said, These are the payments which my lovers have made to me; and I will make them a waste of trees, and the beasts of the field will take them for food.

13 Visitaré en ella los días de los baales, al que quemó incienso cuando se engalanó con sus pendientes y sus joyas, y fue tras sus amantes y se olvidaron de mí”, dice Yahvé.

And I will give her punishment for the days of the Baals, to whom she has been burning perfumes, when she made herself fair with her nose-rings and her jewels, and went after her lovers, giving no thought to me, says the Lord.

14 “Por lo tanto, he aquí que la atraeré, y llevarla al desierto, y hablarle con ternura.

For this cause I will make her come into the waste land and will say words of comfort to her.

15 Le daré viñedos desde allí, y el valle de Acor por una puerta de esperanza; y ella responderá allí como en los días de su juventud, y como en el día en que subió de la tierra de Egipto.

And I will give her vine-gardens from there, and the valley of Achor for a door of hope; and she will give her answer there as in the days when she was young, and as in the time when she came up out of the land of Egypt.

16 Será en ese día”, dice Yahvé, “que me llamarás ‘mi marido’, y ya no me llame ‘mi amo’.

And in that day, says the Lord, you will say to me, Ishi; and you will never again give me the name of Baali;

17 Porque quitaré de su boca los nombres de los baales, y ya no serán mencionados por su nombre.

For I will take away the names of the Baals out of her mouth, and never again will she say their names.

18 Ese día haré un pacto para ellos con los animales del campo, y con las aves del cielo, y con los reptiles de la tierra. Romperé el arco, la espada y la batalla fuera de la tierra, y hará que se acuesten con seguridad.

And in that day I will make an agreement for them with the beasts of the field and the birds of heaven and the things which go low on the earth; I will put an end to the bow and the sword and war in all the land, and will make them take their rest in peace.

19 Te desposaré conmigo para siempre. Sí, te desposaré conmigo con rectitud, con justicia, con bondad amorosa y con compasión.

And I will take you as my bride for ever; truly, I will take you as my bride in righteousness and in right judging, in love and in mercies.

20 Incluso te desposaré conmigo con fidelidad; y conocerás a Yahvé.

I will take you as my bride in good faith, and you will have knowledge of the Lord.

21 En ese día responderé”, dice Yahvé. “Responderé a los cielos, y responderán a la tierra;

And it will be, in that day, says the Lord, that I will give an answer to the heavens, and the heavens to the earth;

22 y la tierra responderá al grano, al vino nuevo y al aceite; y responderán a Jezreel.

And the earth will give its answer to the grain and the wine and the oil, and they will give an answer to Jezreel;

23 La sembraré en la tierra; y me apiadaré de la que no había obtenido misericordia; y diré a los que no eran mi pueblo: “Vosotros sois mi pueblo”. y dirán: “Tú eres mi Dios””.

And I will put her as seed in the earth, and I will have mercy on her to whom no mercy was given; and I will say to those who were not my people, You are my people, and they will say, My God.
