Oseas 5

1 ¡Oigan esto, sacerdotes! ¡Atiendan, oh Casa de Israel! Presten atención, oh casa real. A ustedes afecta esta sentencia, porque fueron trampa en Mizpa, red tendida en la montaña Tabor,

Hear you this, O priests; and listen, you house of Israel; and give you ear, O house of the king; for judgment is toward you, because you have been a snare on Mizpah, and a net spread on Tabor.

2 y fosa cavada en Sitim. Yo los castigaré a todos.

And the rebels are profound to make slaughter, though I have been a rebuker of them all.

3 Conozco a Efraín, e Israel no se me oculta. Tú, Efraín, incitaste a la prostitución, e Israel se contaminó.

I know Ephraim, and Israel is not hid from me: for now, O Ephraim, you commit prostitution, and Israel is defiled.

4 Sus obras no los dejan volver a su ʼElohim, porque un espíritu de prostitución está dentro de ellos, y no conocen a Yavé.

They will not frame their doings to turn to their God: for the spirit of prostitutions is in the middle of them, and they have not known the LORD.

5 La soberbia de Israel testifica contra él mismo. Israel y Efraín tropezaron en su pecado, y Judá tropezará con ellos.

And the pride of Israel does testify to his face: therefore shall Israel and Ephraim fall in their iniquity: Judah also shall fall with them.

6 Con sus rebaños y manadas de ganado vacuno Irán a buscar a Yavé, pero no lo hallarán. Él se apartó de ellos.

They shall go with their flocks and with their herds to seek the LORD; but they shall not find him; he has withdrawn himself from them.

7 Ellos traicionaron a Yavé, porque engendraron hijos ilegítimos. Ahora los devorará la luna nueva junto con su tierra.

They have dealt treacherously against the LORD: for they have begotten strange children: now shall a month devour them with their portions.

8 ¡Toquen la trompeta en Gabaa y la trompeta en Ramá! ¡Toquen la alarma en Bet-avén! ¡Detrás de ti, oh Benjamín!

Blow you the cornet in Gibeah, and the trumpet in Ramah: cry aloud at Bethaven, after you, O Benjamin.

9 Efraín será asolado el día del castigo. Entre las tribus de Israel declaro lo que es seguro.

Ephraim shall be desolate in the day of rebuke: among the tribes of Israel have I made known that which shall surely be.

10 Los gobernantes de Judá son como los que desplazan linderos. Derramaré mi ira sobre ellos como el agua.

The princes of Judah were like them that remove the bound: therefore I will pour out my wrath on them like water.

11 Efraín está oprimido, sus derechos violados, porque quiso seguir mandatos.

Ephraim is oppressed and broken in judgment, because he willingly walked after the commandment.

12 Yo seré, pues, como polilla a Efraín, y como carcoma a la Casa de Judá.

Therefore will I be to Ephraim as a moth, and to the house of Judah as rottenness.

13 Cuando Efraín vio su enfermedad, y Judá miró su llaga, entonces Efraín fue a Asiria y acudió al rey Jareb. Pero él no puede sanarlos, ni curar su llaga.

When Ephraim saw his sickness, and Judah saw his wound, then went Ephraim to the Assyrian, and sent to king Jareb: yet could he not heal you, nor cure you of your wound.

14 Porque Yo seré como un león para Efraín, y como un leoncillo para la Casa de Judá. Yo, Yo mismo haré presa y me iré. La llevo, y no hay quien me la quite.

For I will be to Ephraim as a lion, and as a young lion to the house of Judah: I, even I, will tear and go away; I will take away, and none shall rescue him.

15 Me iré y regresaré a mi lugar hasta que reconozcan su pecado y busquen mi rostro. En su aflicción me buscarán sinceramente.

I will go and return to my place, till they acknowledge their offense, and seek my face: in their affliction they will seek me early.
