Oseas 2
1 Llamen a sus hermanos Ammi, y a sus hermanas Ruhama.
Say unto your brethren Ammi; and to your sisters, Ruhamah.
2 Contiendan con su madre, contiendan, porque ella no es mi esposa ni Yo soy su esposo, para que se quite de su cara sus fornicaciones, y sus adulterios de entre sus pechos.
Plead with your mother, plead; for she is not my wife, neither am I her husband: and let her put away her whoredoms from her face, and her adulteries from between her breasts;
3 No sea que la despoje, la deje totalmente desnuda, la coloque como el día cuando nació, la deje como el desierto, la reduzca a tierra árida, la mate de sed,
lest I strip her naked, and set her as in the day that she was born, and make her as a wilderness, and set her as a dry land, and slay her with thirst.
4 y no me compadezca de sus hijos porque son hijos bastardos.
And I will not have mercy upon her children; for they are the children of whoredoms.
5 Sí, su madre se prostituyó, la que los dio a luz se deshonró, pues se dijo: Iré tras mis amantes, los cuales me dan mi pan y mi agua, mi lana y mi lino, mi aceite y mi vino.
For their mother hath played the harlot; she that conceived them hath done shamefully: for she said, I will go after my lovers, that give [me] my bread and my water, my wool and my flax, mine oil and my drink.
6 Por tanto mira, Yo obstruyo tu camino con espinos. Construiré un muro contra ella para que no encuentren sus senderos.
Therefore behold, I will hedge up thy way with thorns; and I will fence [her] in with a wall, that she shall not find her paths.
7 Perseguirá a sus amantes y no los alcanzará, los buscará y no los hallará, y dirá: Volveré a mi primer esposo, porque entonces estaba mejor que ahora.
And she shall pursue after her lovers, and shall not overtake them; and she shall seek them, and shall not find them: and she shall say, I will go and return to my first husband, for then was it better with me than now.
8 Ella no entendía que era Yo el que le daba el grano, el mosto y el aceite, el que le multiplicaba la plata y el oro que usan para baal.
And she did not know that I had given her the corn and the new wine and the oil, and had multiplied to her the silver and gold, which they employed for Baal.
9 Por eso le retendré mi grano en la cosecha y mi mosto en su época. Recuperaré mi lana y mi lino con los cuales cubría su desnudez.
Therefore will I return, and take away my corn in the time thereof, and my new wine in its season, and will withdraw my wool and my flax which should have covered her nakedness.
10 Descubriré ante sus amantes su infamia, y no habrá quien la libre de mi mano.
And now will I discover her impiety in the sight of her lovers, and none shall deliver her out of my hand.
11 Haré cesar todo su alborozo: sus fiestas, sus nuevas lunas y sus sábados, y todas sus solemnidades.
And I will cause all her mirth to cease: her feasts, her new moons, and her sabbaths! and all her solemnities.
12 Arrasaré su vid y su higuera, de las cuales decía: son mi paga, me las dieron mis amantes. Las convertiré en matorrales, y los comerán las bestias del campo.
And I will make desolate her vine and her fig-tree, whereof she hath said, These are my rewards which my lovers have given me; and I will make them a forest, and the beasts of the field shall eat them.
13 La castigaré por los días dedicados a los baales, a los cuales les quemaba incienso, y adornada con aretes y collares iba detrás de sus amantes, y se olvidaba de mí, dice Yavé.
And I will visit upon her the days of the Baals, wherein she burned incense to them, and decked herself with her rings and jewels, and went after her lovers, and forgot me, saith Jehovah.
14 Por tanto, Yo la atraeré y la llevaré al desierto, y le hablaré a su corazón.
Therefore behold, I will allure her, and bring her into the wilderness, and speak to her heart.
15 Allí le daré sus viñas y el valle de Acor, como puerta de esperanza. Allí me responderá como en su juventud, como cuando salió de Egipto.
And I will give her her vineyards from thence, and the valley of Achor for a door of hope; and she shall sing there, as in the days of her youth and as in the day when she came up out of the land of Egypt.
16 Sucederá en aquel día, dice Yavé, que tú me llamarás: Esposo mío, y ya no me llamarás: ʼAdón mío.
And it shall be in that day, saith Jehovah, [that] thou shalt call me, My husband, and shalt call me no more, Baali;
17 Pues quitaré de su boca los nombres de los baales, y sus nombres ya no serán invocados.
for I will take away the names of the Baals out of her mouth, and they shall no more be remembered by their name.
18 Haré un pacto a favor de ellos con las bestias salvajes, las aves de los cielos y los reptiles de la tierra. Romperé el arco, la espada y las batallas de la tierra, y haré que reposen seguros.
And I will make a covenant for them in that day with the beasts of the field, and with the fowl of the heavens, and the creeping things of the ground; and I will break bow and sword and battle out of the land; and I will make them to lie down safely.
19 Te comprometeré conmigo para siempre. Te desposaré conmigo en justicia y justo juicio, con benignidad y gran misericordia.
And I will betroth thee unto me for ever; and I will betroth thee unto me in righteousness, and in judgment, and in loving-kindness, and in mercies;
20 Te desposaré conmigo en fidelidad, y tú conocerás a Yavé.
and I will betroth thee unto me in faithfulness: and thou shalt know Jehovah.
21 Aquel día responderé, dice Yavé. Yo responderé a los cielos, y ellos responderán a la tierra.
And it shall come to pass in that day, I will hear, saith Jehovah, I will hear the heavens, and they shall hear the earth;
22 Y la tierra responderá al trigo, al vino y al aceite, y ellos responderán a Jezreel.
and the earth shall hear the corn, and the new wine, and the oil; and they shall hear Jizreel.
23 Y la sembraré en la tierra para Mí mismo, y me compadeceré de Lo-ruhama, y diré a Lo-ammi: Pueblo mío. Y él responderá: Tú eres mi ʼElohim.
And I will sow her unto me in the land; and I will have mercy upon Lo-ruhamah; and I will say to Lo-ammi, Thou art my people; and they shall say, My God.
