Oseas 14
1 CONVIÉRTETE, oh Israel, á Jehová tu Dios: porque por tu pecado has caído.
Israel, return to Yahweh your God, for you have fallen because of your iniquity.
2 Tomad con vosotros palabras, y convertíos á Jehová, y decidle: Quita toda iniquidad, y acepta el bien, y daremos becerros de nuestros labios.
Take with you words and return to Yahweh. Say to him, “Take away all our iniquity and accept what is good, so that we may offer to you the fruit of our lips.
3 No nos librará Assur; no subiremos sobre caballos, ni nunca más diremos á la obra de nuestras manos: Dioses nuestros: porque en ti el huérfano alcanzará misericordia.
Assyria will not save us; we will not ride on horses to war. Neither will we say anymore to the work of our hands, 'You are our gods,' for in you the fatherless person finds compassion.”
4 Yo medicinaré su rebelión, amarélos de voluntad: porque mi furor se apartó de ellos.
“I will heal their turning away; I will love them freely, for my anger has turned away from him.
5 Yo seré á Israel como rocío; él florecerá como lirio, y extenderá sus raíces como el Líbano.
I will be like the dew to Israel; he will blossom like the lily and take root like a cedar in Lebanon.
6 Extenderse han sus ramos, y será su gloria como la de la oliva, y olerá como el Líbano.
His branches will spread out; his beauty will be like the olive trees, and his fragrance like the cedars in Lebanon.
7 Volverán, y se sentarán bajo de su sombra: serán vivificados [como] trigo, y florecerán como la vid: su olor, como de vino del Líbano.
The people who live in his shade will return; they will revive like grain and blossom like vines. His fame will be like the wine of Lebanon.
8 Ephraim [dirá]: ¿Qué más tendré ya con los ídolos? Yo lo oiré, y miraré; yo [seré á él] como la haya verde: de mí será hallado tu fruto.
Ephraim, what more have I to do with idols? I will answer him and care for him. I am like a cypress whose leaves are always green; from me comes your fruit.”
9 ¿Quién es sabio para que entienda esto, y prudente para que lo sepa? Porque los caminos de Jehová son derechos, y los justos andarán por ellos: mas los rebeldes en ellos caerán.
Who is wise that he may understand these things? Who understands these things so that he may know them? For the ways of Yahweh are right, and the righteous will walk in them, but the rebellious will stumble in them.
