Oseas 8

1 Pon a tu boca trompeta, como águila, contra la casa de Jehová, porque traspasaron mi concierto, y contra mi ley se rebelaron.

Set the trumpet to thy mouth. [He cometh] as an eagle against the house of Jehovah, because they have transgressed my covenant, and rebelled against my law.

2 A mí clamarán Israel: Dios mío, te conocimos.

They shall cry unto me, My God, we know thee; [we], Israel.

3 Desamparó Israel el bien: enemigo le perseguirá.

Israel hath cast off good: the enemy shall pursue him.

4 Ellos hicieron reinar, mas no por mí: constituyeron príncipe, mas yo no lo supe: de su plata, y de su oro hicieron ídolos para sí, para ser talados.

They have set up kings, but not by me; they have made princes, and I knew it not; of their silver and their gold have they made them idols, that they may be cut off.

5 Tu becerro, o! Samaria, te hizo alejar: mi enojo se encendió contra ellos, hasta que no pudieron alcanzar inocencia.

Thy calf, O Samaria, hath cast [thee] off; mine anger is kindled against them: how long will they be incapable of purity?

6 Porque de Israel es, y artífice lo hizo, que no es Dios; porque en pedazos será deshecho el becerro de Samaria.

For from Israel is this also: — a workman made it, and it is no God: for the calf of Samaria shall be [broken in] pieces.

7 Porque sembraron viento, y torbellino segarán: no tendrán mies, ni el fruto hará harina: si la hiciere, extraños la tragarán.

For they have sown the wind, and they shall reap the whirlwind: it hath no stalk; should it sprout, it would yield no meal; if so be it yield, strangers shall swallow it up.

8 Será tragado Israel: presto serán tenidos entre las gentes como vaso en que no hay contentamiento.

Israel is swallowed up: now are they become among the nations as a vessel wherein is no pleasure.

9 Porque ellos subieron a Asur, asno montés para sí solo: Efraím con salario alquiló armadores.

For they are gone up [to] Assyria [as] a wild ass alone by himself: Ephraim hath hired lovers.

10 Aunque alquilen a las naciones, ahora las juntaré; y serán un poco afligidos por la carga del rey, y de los príncipes.

Although they hire among the nations, now will I gather them, and they shall begin to be straitened under the burden of the king of princes.

11 Porque multiplicó Efraím altares para pecar, tuvo altares para pecar.

Because Ephraim hath multiplied altars to sin, altars shall be unto him to sin.

12 Escribíle las grandezas de mi ley, fueron tenidas por cosas ajenas.

I have prescribed unto him the manifold things of my law: they are counted [as] a strange thing.

13 Los sacrificios de mis dones, sacrificaron carne, y comieron, Jehová no los quiso: ahora se acordará de su iniquidad, y visitará su pecado: ellos tornarán a Egipto.

They sacrifice flesh [for] the sacrifices of mine offerings, and eat it; Jehovah hath no delight in them. Now will he remember their iniquity, and visit their sins: they shall return to Egypt.

14 Olvidó pues Israel a su Hacedor, y edificó templos, y Judá multiplicó ciudades fuertes: y yo meteré fuego en sus ciudades, el cual devorará sus palacios.

For Israel hath forgotten his Maker, and buildeth temples; and Judah hath multiplied fenced cities: but I will send a fire upon his cities, and it shall devour the palaces thereof.
