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, O ye priests, and attend, ye house of Israel, and give ear, O house of the king, for unto you pertaineth the judgment; for ye have been a snare on 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 that fall away are gone deep in making slaughter; and I am rejected 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, even I, know Ephraim, and Israel is not hid from Me; for now, O Ephraim, thou hast committed harlotry, 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 will not suffer them to return unto their God; for the spirit of harlotry is within them, and they know not 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.

But the pride of Israel shall testify to his face; and Israel and Ephraim shall stumble in their iniquity, Judah also shall stumble with them.

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

With their flocks and with their herds they shall go to seek the LORD, but they shall not find Him; He hath withdrawn Himself from them.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 the LORD, for they have begotten strange children; now shall the new moon devour them with their portions.

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

Blow ye the horn in Gibeah, and the trumpet in Ramah; sound an alarm 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 desolate in the day of rebuke; among the tribes of Israel do I make known that which shall surely be.

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

The princes of Judah are 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.

Oppressed is Ephraim, crushed in his right; because he willingly walked after filth.

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

Therefore am I 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.

And when Ephraim saw his sickness, and Judah his wound, Ephraim went to Assyria, and sent to King Contentious; but he is not able to heal you, neither shall he cure you of your wound.

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, even I, will tear and go away, I will take away, 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, till they acknowledge their guilt, and seek My face; in their trouble they will seek Me earnestly:
