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 this, ye priests; and hearken, ye house of Israel; and give ear, O house of the king: for this judgment is for you; for ye have been a snare at Mizpah, and a net spread upon Tabor.

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

And they have plunged themselves in the corruption of apostasy, but I will be a chastiser of them all.

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 hid from me; for now, Ephraim, thou hast committed whoredom; 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.

Their doings do not allow them to return unto their God; for the spirit of whoredoms is in the midst of them, and they know not Jehovah.

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 Israel's pride doth testify to his face; and Israel and Ephraim shall fall by their iniquity: Judah 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They shall go with their flocks and with their herds to seek Jehovah; but they shall not find [him]: he hath withdrawn himself from them.

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

They have dealt treacherously against Jehovah; for they have begotten strange children: now shall the new moon devour them, with their allotted possessions.

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

Blow the horn in Gibeah, the trumpet in Ramah; cry aloud [at] Beth-aven: behind thee, O Benjamin!

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

Ephraim shall be a desolation in the day of rebuke: among the tribes of Israel have I made known that which is sure.

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

The princes of Judah are become like them that remove the landmark: I will pour out my wrath upon them like water.

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

Ephraim is oppressed, crushed in judgment, because in selfwill he walked after the commandment [of man].

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

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

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.

When Ephraim saw his sickness, and Judah his sore, then went Ephraim to the Assyrian, and sent to king Jareb; but he was unable to heal you, nor hath he removed your sore.

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.

For I will be unto Ephraim as a lion, and as a young lion to the house of Judah. I, I will tear and go away; I will carry off, 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 away, I will return to my place, till they acknowledge their trespass, and seek my face: in their affliction they will seek me early.
