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.

“To your mouth—a horn, As an eagle against the house of YHWH, Because they transgressed My covenant, And against My law they have rebelled.

2 A mí clamará Israel: Dios mío, te hemos conocido.

To Me they cry, My God, we—Israel—have known You.

3 Israel desamparó el bien: enemigo lo perseguirá.

Israel has cast off good, an enemy pursues 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 have made kings, and not by Me, They have made princes, and I have not known, Their silver and their gold they have made to them idols, So that they are cut off.

5 Tu becerro, oh Samaria, te hizo alejar; encendióse mi enojo contra ellos, hasta que no pudieron alcanzar inocencia.

Your calf has cast off, O Samaria, My anger has burned against them; Until when are they not capable of purity?

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 even it [is] of Israel; a craftsman made it, And it [is] not God, For the calf of Samaria is fragments!

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

For wind they sow, and a windstorm they reap, Stalk it has none—a shoot not yielding grain, If so be it yield—strangers swallow it up.

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

Israel has been swallowed up, Now they have been among nations, As a vessel in which is no delight.

9 Porque ellos subieron á Assur, asno montés para sí solo: Ephraim con salario alquiló amantes.

For they have gone up [to] Asshur, A wild donkey alone by himself [is] Ephraim, They have hired lovers!

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

Also though they hire among nations, Now I gather them, and they are pained a little, From the burden of a king of princes.

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

Because Ephraim multiplied altars to sin, They have been to him altars to sin.

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

I write for him numerous things of My law, As a strange thing they have been reckoned.

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.

The sacrifices of My offerings! They sacrifice flesh, and they eat, YHWH has not accepted them, Now He remembers their iniquity, And inspects their sin, They return [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.

And Israel forgets his Maker, and builds temples, And Judah has multiplied cities of defense, And I have sent a fire into his cities, And it has consumed their palaces!”
