Oseas 2

1 Decíd a vuestros hermanos: Ammi; y a vuestras hermanas: Ruhama.

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

2 Pleitéad con vuestra madre, pleitéad; porque ella no es mi mujer, ni yo su marido; y quite sus fornicaciones de su rostro, y sus adulterios de entre sus pechos:

Contend with your mother. Contend, for she is not my wife, nor am I her husband. And let her put away her whoredoms from her face, and her adulteries from between her breasts,

3 Porque yo no la despoje desnuda, y la haga tornar como el día en que nació, y la ponga como un desierto, y la ponga como tierra seca, y 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 like a dry land, and kill her with thirst.

4 Ni tendré misericordia de sus hijos; porque son hijos de fornicaciones.

Yea, I will have no mercy upon her sons, for they are sons of whoredom,

5 Porque su madre fornicó: avergonzóse la que los engendró, porque dijo: Iré tras mis enamorados, que me dan mi pan y mi agua, mi lana y mi lino, mi aceite y mi bebida.

for their mother has played the harlot. She who conceived them has done shamefully, for she said, I will go after my lovers, who give me my bread and my water, my wool and my flax, my oil and my drink.

6 Por tanto he aquí que yo cerco tu camino con espinas, y cercaré con seto, y no hallará sus caminos.

Therefore, behold, I will hedge up thy way with thorns, and I will build a wall against her, that she shall not find her paths.

7 Y seguirá sus enamorados, y no los alcanzará: buscarlos ha, y no los hallará: entonces dirá: Iré, y volverme he a mi primer marido; porque mejor me iba entonces que ahora.

And she shall follow after her lovers, but she shall not overtake them. And she shall seek them, but shall not find them. Then she shall say, I will go and return to my first husband, for it was better with me then than now.

8 Y ella no sabía que yo le daba el trigo, y el vino, y el aceite; y les multipliqué la plata y el oro con que hicieron a Baal.

For she did not know that I gave her the grain, and the new wine, and the oil, and multiplied to her silver and gold, which they used for Baal.

9 Por tanto yo tornaré, y tomaré mi trigo a su tiempo, y mi vino a su sazón, y quitaré mi lana y mi lino, que había dado para cubrir su desnudez.

Therefore I will take back my grain in the time of it, and my new wine in the season of it, and will pluck away my wool and my flax which should have covered her nakedness.

10 Y ahora yo descubriré su vileza delante de los ojos de sus enamorados, y nadie la escapará de mi mano.

And now I will uncover her lewdness in the sight of her lovers, and none shall deliver her out of my hand.

11 Y haré cesar todo su gozo, su fiesta, su nueva luna, y su sábado, y todas sus festividades.

I will also cause all her mirth to cease, her feasts, her new moons, and her sabbaths, and all her solemn assemblies.

12 Y haré talar su vid y su higuera, de que ha dicho: Mi salario me son, que me han dado mis enamorados. Y ponerlas he por monte, y comerlas han las bestias del campo.

And I will lay waste her vines and her fig trees, of which she has said, These are my hire that my lovers have given me. And I will make them a forest, and the beasts of the field shall eat them.

13 Y visitaré sobre ella los tiempos de los Baales, a los cuales incensaba, y adornábase de sus zarcillos y de sus joyeles, y se iba tras sus enamorados, olvidada de mí, dice Jehová.

And I will visit upon her the days of the Baalim, to which she burned incense when she decked herself with her earrings and her jewels, and went after her lovers, and forgot me, says Jehovah.

14 Por tanto he aquí que yo la induciré, y la llevaré al desierto, y hablaré a su corazón.

Therefore, behold, I will allure her, and bring her into the wilderness, and speak soothingly to her.

15 Y darle he sus viñas desde allí, y el valle de Acor en puerta de esperanza; y allí cantará como en los tiempos de su juventud, y como en el día de su subida de la tierra de Egipto.

And I will give her her vineyards from there, and the valley of Achor for a door of hope. And she shall make answer there, as in the days of her youth, and as in the day when she came up out of the land of Egypt.

16 Y será que en aquel tiempo, dice Jehová, me llamarás: Marido mío; y nunca más me llamarás: Baalí.

And it shall be at that day, says Jehovah, that thou shall call me Ishi, and shall no more call me Baali.

17 Porque quitaré de su boca los nombres de los Baales, y nunca más serán mentados por su nombre.

For I will take away the names of the Baalim out of her mouth, and they shall no more be mentioned by their name.

18 Y haré por ellos concierto en aquel tiempo con las bestias del campo, y con las aves del cielo, y con las serpientes de la tierra; y quebraré arco, y espada, y batalla de la tierra, y hacerlos he dormir seguros.

And in that day I will make a covenant for them with the beasts of the field, and with the birds of the heavens, and with the creeping things of the ground. And I will break the bow and the sword and the battle out of the land, and will make them to lie down safely.

19 Y desposarte he conmigo para siempre; desposarte he conmigo en justicia, y juicio, y misericordia, y miseraciones.

And I will betroth thee to me forever. Yea, I will betroth thee to me in righteousness, and in justice, and in loving kindness, and in mercies.

20 Y desposarte he conmigo en fe, y conocerás a Jehová.

I will even betroth thee to me in faithfulness, and thou shall know Jehovah.

21 Y será que en aquel tiempo yo responderé, dice Jehová, yo responderé a los cielos, y ellos responderán a la tierra.

And it shall come to pass in that day, I will answer, says Jehovah. I will answer the heavens, and they shall answer the earth,

22 Y la tierra responderá al trigo, y al vino, y al aceite; y ellos responderán a Jezrael.

and the earth shall answer the grain, and the new wine, and the oil, and they shall answer Jezreel.

23 Y sembrarla he para mí en la tierra, y habré misericordia de Lo-ruhama; y diré a Lo-ammi: Pueblo mío tú; y él dirá: Dios mío.

And I will sow her to me in the earth. And I will have mercy upon her who had not obtained mercy. And I will say to those who were not my people, Thou are my people, and they shall say, My God.
