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.

Hear ye this, O ye priests, And hearken, O house of Israel, And give ear, O house of the king! For judgment is coming upon you, Because ye have been a snare at Mizpah, And an outspread net upon Tabor.

2 Y haciendo víctimas han bajado hasta el profundo: por tanto yo seré la corrección de todos ellos.

By their sacrifices they commit deep transgression, And I will bring chastisement upon them all.

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 thou committest fornication, O Ephraim, And 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.

They will not frame their doings To return to their God; For a spirit of fornication is within them, And they have no regard to Jehovah.

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 testifieth to his face; Therefore shall Israel and Ephraim fall in their iniquity; Judah also shall fall with them.

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

With their flocks and with their herds shall they go to seek Jehovah, And shall not find him; He hath withdrawn himself from them.

7 Contra Jehová prevaricaron, porque hijos extraños han engendrado: ahora los devorará un mes con sus heredades.

They have been false to Jehovah, For they have begotten strange children; Now shall the new moon consume them with their possessions.

8 Tocad bocina en Gabaa, trompeta en Ramá: sonad tambor en Beth-aven: tras ti, oh Benjamín.

Blow ye the trumpet in Gibeah, And the cornet in Ramah; Cry aloud at Bethaven! Look behind thee, O Benjamin!

9 Ephraim será asolado el día del castigo: en las tribus de Israel hice conocer verdad.

Ephraim shall be desolate in the day of rebuke; Among the tribes of Israel do I make known what is sure.

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

The princes of Judah are like them that remove the land mark; I will pour out my wrath upon them like water.

11 Ephraim es vejado, quebrantado en juicio, porque quiso andar en pos de mandamientos.

Ephraim is oppressed; he is crushed with punishment, Because he willingly walked after the decree.

12 Yo pues seré como polilla á Ephraim, y como carcoma á la casa de Judá.

I am as a moth to Ephraim, And as rottenness to the house of Judah.

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 went Ephraim to the Assyrian, And Judah sent to the hostile king; But he will not be able to heal you, Nor 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 as a lion to Ephraim, And as a young lion to the house of Judah. I, even I, will tear, and will depart; I will take away, and none shall rescue.

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 back to my place, Till they have suffered for their sin, and seek my face! In their affliction they will seek me early.
