Oseas 8
1 ¡Pon la trompeta en tus labios! ¡Como águila viene contra la Casa de Yavé, porque violaron mi Pacto y se rebelaron contra mi Ley!
Set the trumpet to thy mouth. He shall come as an eagle against the house of the LORD, because they have transgressed my covenant, and trespassed against my law.
2 A Mí clamarán: ¡ʼElohim mío, nosotros te conocemos!
Israel shall cry to me, My God, we know thee.
3 Pero Israel rechazó lo bueno, el enemigo lo perseguirá.
Israel hath cast off the thing that is good: the enemy shall pursue him.
4 Designaron reyes sin intervención mía. Constituyeron gobernantes sin mi aprobación. Con su plata y con su oro hicieron ídolos para su destrucción.
They have set up kings, but not by me: they have made princes, and I knew it not: of their silver and their gold have they made for themselves idols, that they may be cut off.
5 Él rechaza tu becerro, oh Samaria. Mi ira se encendió contra ellos. ¿Hasta cuándo son incapaces de lograr purificación?
Thy calf, O Samaria, hath cast thee off; my anger is kindled against them: how long will it be ere they attain to innocency?
6 Porque de Israel es aun esto. El artífice lo hizo, no es ʼElohim. ¡Será destrozado el becerro de Samaria!
For from Israel was it also: the workman made it; therefore it is not God: but the calf of Samaria shall be broken in pieces.
7 Sembraron viento y cosecharán tempestad. No tendrán cosecha, ni la espiga producirá harina. Y si la produce, extraños la comerán.
For they have sown the wind, and they shall reap the whirlwind: it hath no stalk: the bud shall yield no meal: if it shall yield, the strangers shall swallow it up.
8 Israel será devorado. Será una vasija inútil entre las naciones.
Israel is swallowed up: now shall they be among the Gentiles as a vessel in which is no pleasure.
9 Porque fueron a Asiria y Efraín como asno solitario. j Alquiló amantes.
For they have gone up to Assyria, a wild donkey alone by himself: Ephraim hath hired lovers.
10 Pero aunque alquilen entre las naciones, ahora los reuniré y serán afligidos un poco por la carga del rey de los príncipes.
Yea, though they have hired among the nations, now will I gather them, and they shall sorrow a little for the burden of the king of princes.
11 Efraín multiplicó los altares para pecar. Para él son altares para pecar.
Because Ephraim hath made many altars to sin, altars shall be to him to sin.
12 Le escribí las grandezas de mi Ley. Fueron recibidas como cosa extraña.
I have written to him the great things of my law, but they were counted as a strange thing.
13 Aunque en los sacrificios de mis ofrendas sacrifican y coman carne, Yavé no las aceptará. Se acuerda de su iniquidad y castigará sus pecados. Volverán a Egipto.
They sacrifice flesh for the sacrifices of my offerings, and eat it; but the LORD accepteth them not; now will he remember their iniquity, and judge their sins: they shall return to Egypt.
14 Porque Israel olvidó a su Hacedor y edificó palacios. Judá multiplicó ciudades fortificadas. Pero Yo encenderé un fuego en sus ciudades que consumirá sus palacios.
For Israel hath forgotten his Maker, and buildeth temples; and Judah hath multiplied fortified cities: but I will send a fire upon his cities, and it shall devour his palaces.
