Oseas 8
1 PON á tu boca trompeta. [Vendrá] como águila contra la casa de Jehová, porque traspasaron mi pacto, y se rebelaron contra mi ley.
Set the trumpet to thy mouth: he shall come as an eagle against the House of the Lord, because they haue transgressed my couenant, and trespassed against my Lawe.
2 A mí clamará Israel: Dios mío, te hemos conocido.
Israel shall crie vnto me, My God, we know thee.
3 Israel desamparó el bien: enemigo lo perseguirá.
Israel hath cast off ye thing that is good: the enemie shall pursue him.
4 Ellos hicieron reyes, mas no por mí; constituyeron príncipes, mas yo no lo supe: de su plata y de su oro hicieron ídolos para sí, para ser talados.
They haue set vp a King, but not by me: they haue made princes, and I knew it not: of their siluer and their gold haue they made them idoles: therefore shall they be destroyed.
5 Tu becerro, oh Samaria, te hizo alejar; encendióse mi enojo contra ellos, hasta que no pudieron alcanzar inocencia.
Thy calfe, O Samaria, hath cast thee off: mine anger is kindled against them: howe long will they be without innocencie!
6 Porque de Israel es, y artífice lo hizo; que no es Dios: por lo que en pedazos será deshecho el becerro de Samaria.
For it came euen from Israel: the workeman made it, therefore it is not God: but the calfe 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 haue sowne the winde, and they shall reape the whirlewind: it hath no stalke: the budde shall bring foorth no meale: if so be it bring forth, the strangers shall deuoure it.
8 Será tragado Israel: presto serán entre las gentes como vaso en que no hay contentamiento.
Israel is deuoured, now shall they be among the Gentiles as a vessell wherein is no pleasure.
9 Porque ellos subieron á Assur, asno montés para sí solo: Ephraim con salario alquiló amantes.
For they are gone vp to Asshur: they are as a wilde asse alone by himselfe: Ephraim hath hired louers.
10 Aunque alquilen á las gentes, ahora las juntaré; y serán un poco afligidos por la carga del rey y de los príncipes.
Yet though they haue hired among the nations, nowe will I gather them, and they shall sorowe a litle, for the burden of the King and the princes.
11 Porque multiplicó Ephraim altares para pecar, tuvo altares para pecar.
Because Ephraim hath made many altars to sinne, his altars shalbe to sinne.
12 Escribíle las grandezas de mi ley, [y] fueron tenidas por cosas ajenas.
I haue written to them the great things of my Lawe: but they were counted as a strange thing.
13 En los sacrificios de mis dones sacrificaron carne, y comieron: no los quiso Jehová: ahora se acordará de su iniquidad, y visitará su pecado; ellos se tornarán á Egipto.
They sacrifice flesh for ye sacrifices of mine offerings, and eate it: but the Lord accepteth them not: now will he remember their iniquitie, and visite their sinnes: they shall returne to Egypt.
14 Olvidó pues Israel á su Hacedor, y edificó templos, y Judá multiplicó ciudades fuertes: mas yo meteré fuego en sus ciudades, el cual devorará sus palacios.
For Israel hath forgotten his maker, and buildeth Temples, and Iudah hath increased strong cities: but I will sende a fire vpon his cities, and it shall deuoure the palaces thereof.
