Oseas 5
1 SACERDOTES, oid esto, y estad atentos, casa de Israel; y casa del rey, escuchad: porque á vosotros es el juicio, pues habéis sido lazo en Mizpa, y red extendida sobre Tabor.
"Listen to this, you priests. Listen, house of Israel, and give ear, house of the king. For the judgment is against you; for you have been a snare at Mizpah, and a net spread on Tabor.
2 Y haciendo víctimas han bajado hasta el profundo: por tanto yo seré la corrección de todos ellos.
The rebels are deep in slaughter; but I discipline all of them.
3 Yo conozco á Ephraim, é Israel no me es desconocido: porque ahora, oh Ephraim, has fornicado, y se ha contaminado Israel.
I know Ephraim, and Israel is not hidden from me; for now, Ephraim, you have played the prostitute. Israel is defiled.
4 No pondrán sus pensamientos en volverse á su Dios, porque espíritu de fornicación está en medio de ellos, y no conocen á Jehová.
Their deeds won't allow them to turn to their God; for the spirit of prostitution is within them, and they do not know YHWH.
5 Y la soberbia de Israel le desmentirá en su cara: é Israel y Ephraim tropezarán en su pecado: tropezará también Judá con ellos.
The pride of Israel testifies to his face. Therefore Israel and Ephraim will stumble in their iniquity. Judah also will stumble with them.
6 Con sus ovejas y con sus vacas andarán buscando á Jehová, y no le hallarán; apartóse de ellos.
They will go with their flocks and with their herds to seek YHWH; but they won't find him. He has withdrawn himself from them.
7 Contra Jehová prevaricaron, porque hijos extraños han engendrado: ahora los devorará un mes con sus heredades.
They are unfaithful to YHWH; for they have borne illegitimate children. Now the new moon will devour them with their fields.
8 Tocad bocina en Gabaa, trompeta en Ramá: sonad tambor en Beth-aven: tras ti, oh Benjamín.
"Blow the cornet in Gibeah, and the trumpet in Ramah. Sound a battle cry at Beth Aven, behind you, Benjamin.
9 Ephraim será asolado el día del castigo: en las tribus de Israel hice conocer verdad.
Ephraim will become a desolation in the day of rebuke. Among the tribes of Israel, I have made known that which will surely be.
10 Los príncipes de Judá fueron como los que traspasan mojones: derramaré sobre ellos como agua mi ira.
The princes of Judah are like those who remove a landmark. I will pour out my wrath on them like water.
11 Ephraim es vejado, quebrantado en juicio, porque quiso andar en pos de mandamientos.
Ephraim is oppressed, he is crushed in judgment; Because he is intent in his pursuit of idols.
12 Yo pues seré como polilla á Ephraim, y como carcoma á la casa de Judá.
Therefore I am to Ephraim like a moth, and to the house of Judah like rottenness.
13 Y verá Ephraim su enfermedad, y Judá su llaga: irá entonces Ephraim al Assur, y enviará al rey Jareb; mas él no os podrá sanar, ni os curará la llaga.
"When Ephraim saw his sickness, and Judah his wound, Then Ephraim went to Assyria, and sent to king Jareb: but he is not able to heal you, neither will he cure you of your wound.
14 Porque yo seré como león á Ephraim, y como cachorro de león á la casa de Judá: yo, yo arrebataré, y andaré; tomaré, y no habrá quien liberte.
For I will be to Ephraim like a lion, and like a young lion to the house of Judah. I myself will tear in pieces and go away. I will carry off, and there will be no one to deliver.
15 Andaré, y tornaré á mi lugar hasta que conozcan su pecado, y busquen mi rostro. En su angustia madrugarán á mí.
I will go and return to my place, until they acknowledge their offense, and seek my face. In their affliction they will seek me earnestly."
