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 this, O ye priests; and listen well, O ye house of Israel; and give ye ear, O house of the king; for the punishment threateneth you; because ye have been a snare on Mizpah, and a net spread out upon Thabor.
2 y fosa cavada en Sitim. Yo los castigaré a todos.
And for murdering they who had rebelled [against God] concealed themselves in deep places; but I will inflict correction on them all.
3 Conozco a Efraín, e Israel no se me oculta. Tú, Efraín, incitaste a la prostitución, e Israel se contaminó.
I well know Ephraim, and Israel is not hidden from me; for now, O Ephraim, hast thou played the harlot, [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.
Their doings will not permit them to return unto their God; for the spirit of lewdness is in their bosom, and the Lord they have not known.
5 La soberbia de Israel testifica contra él mismo. Israel y Efraín tropezaron en su pecado, y Judá tropezará con ellos.
Therefore shall the pride of Israel be humbled before his face: and Israel and Ephraim shall stumble in their iniquity; Judah also shall stumble 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.
With their flocks and with their herds will they go to seek the Lord; but they shall not find him: he hath withdrawn himself from them.
7 Ellos traicionaron a Yavé, porque engendraron hijos ilegítimos. Ahora los devorará la luna nueva junto con su tierra.
Against the Lord have they dealt treacherously; for strange children have they begotten: now shall one month devour them together with their possessions.
8 ¡Toquen la trompeta en Gabaa y la trompeta en Ramá! ¡Toquen la alarma en Bet-avén! ¡Detrás de ti, oh Benjamín!
Blow ye the cornet in Gib'ah, the trumpet in Ramah: blow the alarm at Beth-aven, [The enemy is] after thee, O Benjamin.
9 Efraín será asolado el día del castigo. Entre las tribus de Israel declaro lo que es seguro.
Ephraim shall be made desolate on the day of chastisement: among the tribes of Israel had I made known that which is true.
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 those that remove the landmark: my wrath, therefore, will I pour out upon them like water.
11 Efraín está oprimido, sus derechos violados, porque quiso seguir mandatos.
Oppressed is Ephraim, broken through punishment; because he willingly walked after the commandment [of false prophets].
12 Yo seré, pues, como polilla a Efraín, y como carcoma a la Casa de Judá.
But like the moth became I unto Ephraim, and like rottenness to the house of Judah.
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.
Then saw Ephraim his sickness, and Judah his wound, and Ephraim went to Asshur, and [the other] sent to the king that should contend [[Jareb]]; but he will never be able to heal you, nor remove from you 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 am as a lion unto Ephraim, and as a young lion to the house of Judah: I, even I myself will tear in pieces and go away; I will bear away, and none shall deliver.
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 [from here, and] return to my place, till they acknowledge their guilt, and seek my presence: in their affliction will they seek for me.
