Oseas 7
1 Estando yo curando a Israel, descubrióse la iniquidad de Efraím, y las maldades de Samaria; porque obraron engaño; y el ladrón viene: despoja el salteador de fuera.
“When I give healing to Israel, Then the iniquity of Ephraim is revealed, And the wickedness of Samaria, For they have worked falsehood, And a thief comes in, A troop has stripped off in the street,
2 Y no dicen en su corazón, que tengo en la memoria toda su maldad: ahora pues los rodearán sus obras: delante de mi presencia están.
And they do not say to their heart, [That] I have remembered all their evil, Now their doings have surrounded them, They have been before My face.
3 Con su maldad alegran al rey, y a los príncipes con sus mentiras.
With their wickedness they make a king glad, And with their lies—princes.
4 Todos ellos adúlteros, como horno encendido por el hornero: el cual cesará de despertar después que esté hecha la masa, hasta que esté leuda.
All of them [are] adulterers, Like a burning oven of a baker, He ceases from stirring up after kneading the dough, until its leavening.
5 El día de nuestro rey los príncipes le hicieron enfermar con cuero de vino: extendió su mano con los burladores.
A day of our king! Princes have defiled themselves [with] the poison of wine, He has drawn out his hand with scorners.
6 Porque aplicaron, como horno, su corazón asechando: toda la noche duerme su hornero: a la mañana está su horno encendido como llama de fuego.
For they have drawn near, Their heart [is] as an oven In their lying in wait—their baker sleeps all night, Morning! He is burning as a flaming fire.
7 Todos ellos hierven como un horno; y comieron a sus jueces: cayeron todos sus reyes: no hay entre ellos quien clame a mí.
All of them are warm as an oven, And they have devoured their judges, All their kings have fallen, There is none calling to Me among them.
8 Efraím se envolvió con los pueblos: Efraím fue torta no vuelta.
Ephraim! He mixes himself among peoples, Ephraim has been an unturned cake.
9 Comieron extraños su sustancia, y él no lo supo; y aun vejez se ha esparcido por él, y él no lo entendió.
Strangers have devoured his power, And he has not known, Also old age has sprinkled [itself] on him, And he has not known.
10 Y la soberbia de Israel testificará contra él en su cara; y no se tornaron a Jehová su Dios, ni le buscaron con todo esto.
And the excellence of Israel has been humbled to his face, And they have not turned back to their God YHWH, Nor have they sought Him for all this.
11 Y fue Efraím como paloma, engañada sin entendimiento: llamarán a Egipto, irán al Asur.
And Ephraim is as a simple dove without heart, Egypt they called on—[to] Asshur they have gone.
12 Cuando fueren, extenderé sobre ellos mi red, hacerlos he caer como aves del cielo: castigarlos he conforme a lo que se ha oído en sus congregaciones.
When they go I spread over them My net, As the bird of the heavens I bring them down, I discipline them as their congregation has heard.
13 ¡Ay de ellos! porque se apartaron de mí: destrucción sobre ellos; porque se rebelaron contra mí: yo los redemí, y ellos hablaron contra mí mentiras.
Woe to them, for they wandered from Me, Destruction to them, for they transgressed against Me, And I ransom them, and they have spoken lies against Me,
14 Y no clamaron a mí con su corazón, cuando aullaron sobre sus camas: para el trigo y el mosto se congregaron: se rebelaron contra mí.
And have not cried to Me with their heart, but howl on their beds; They assemble themselves for grain and new wine, They turn aside against Me.
15 Y yo los ceñí, esforcé sus brazos, y contra mí pensaron mal.
And I instructed—I strengthened their arms, And concerning Me they think evil!
16 Tornáronse, mas no al Altísimo: fueron como arco engañoso: cayeron sus príncipes a cuchillo por la soberbia de su lengua: este será su escarnio en la tierra de Egipto.
They turn back—not to the Most High, They have been as a deceitful bow, Their princes fall by sword, From the insolence of their tongue, This [is] their derision in the land of Egypt!”
