Oseas 5

1 Sacerdotes, oíd esto, y estád atentos, casa de Israel, y casa del rey, escuchád; porque a vosotros es el juicio; porque habéis sido lazo en Maspad, y red extendida sobre Tabor.

Hear these things, you priests; and attend, O house of Israel; and listen, O house of the king; for the controversy is with you, because you have been a snare in Scopia, and as a net spread on Itabyrium,

2 Y matando sacrificios han bajado hasta el profundo, y yo la corrección de todos ellos.

which they that hunt the prey have fixed: but I will correct you.

3 Yo conozco a Efraím, e Israel no me es ignorado; porque ahora has fornicado, o! Efraím, y se ha contaminado Israel.

I know Ephraim, and Israel is not far from me: for now Ephraim has gone grievously a-whoring, Israel is defiled.

4 No pondrán sus pensamientos en volverse a su Dios, porque espíritu de fornicación está en medio de ellos, y no conocen a Jehová.

They have not framed their counsels to return to their God, for the spirit of fornication is in them, and they have not known the Lord.

5 Y la soberbia de Israel le desmentirá en su cara; e Israel y Efraím tropezarán en su pecado, tropezará también con ellos Judá.

And the pride of Israel shall be brought low before his face; and Israel and Ephraim shall fall in their iniquities; and Judas also shall fall with them.

6 Con sus ovejas, y con sus vacas andarán buscando a Jehová, y no le hallarán: apartóse de ellos.

They shall go with sheep and calves diligently to seek the Lord; but they shall not find him, for he has withdrawn himself from them.

7 Contra Jehová se rebelaron, porque engendraron hijos extraños: ahora los devorará mes con sus heredades.

For they have forsaken the Lord; for strange children have been born to them: now shall the cankerworm devour them and their heritages.

8 Tocád bocina en Gabaa, trompeta en Rama: sonád atambor en Bet-aven, tras ti, o! Ben-jamín.

Blow you the trumpet on the hills, sound aloud on the heights: proclaim in the house of On, Benjamin is amazed.

9 Efraím será asolado el día del castigo: en las tribus de Israel hice conocer mi verdad.

Ephraim has come to nothing in the days of reproof: in the tribes of Israel I have shown faithful [dealings].

10 Los príncipes de Judá fueron como los que traspasan mojones: derramaré pues sobre ellos, como agua, mi ira.

The princes of Juda became as they that removed the bounds: I will pour out upon them my fury as water.

11 Calumniado Efraím, quebrantado en juicio, porque quiso andar tras mandamientos.

Ephraim altogether prevailed against his adversary, he trod judgement under foot, for he began to go after vanities.

12 Y yo seré como polilla a Efraím, y como carcoma a la casa de Judá.

Therefore I [will be] as consternation to Ephraim, and as a goad to the house of Juda.

13 Y verá Efraím su enfermedad, y Judá su llaga; e irá Efraím al Asur, y enviará al rey de Jareb: mas él no os podrá sanar, ni os curará la llaga.

And Ephraim saw his disease, and Judas his pain; then Ephraim went to the Assyrians, and sent ambassadors to king Jarim: but he could not heal you, and your pain shall in nowise cease from you.

14 Porque yo seré como león a Efraím, y como cachorro de león a la casa de Judá: yo, yo arrebataré, y andaré: tomaré, y no habrá quien escape.

Therefore I am as a panther to Ephraim, and as a lion to the house of Juda: and I will tear, and go away; and I will take, and there shall be none to deliver.

15 Andaré, y tornaré a mi lugar, hasta que conozcan su pecado, y busquen mi faz: en su angustia madruguen a mí.

I will go and return to my place, until they are brought to nothing, and [then] shall they seek my face.
