Oseas 14
1 Conviértete, oh Israel, al SEÑOR tu Dios, porque por tu pecado has caído.
Return, O Israel, even unto the Lord thy God; for thou hast stumbled through thy iniquity.
2 Tomad con vosotros palabras, y convertíos al SEÑOR, y decidle: Quita toda iniquidad, y aceptanos con gracia, y daremos los becerros de nuestros labios.
Take with you swords, and return to the Lord: say unto him, “Pardon all [our] iniquity, and accept [our return to] good; and let us repay the steers [of sacrifice] with [the prayer of] our lips.
3 No nos librará Assur; no subiremos sobre caballos, ni nunca más diremos a la obra de nuestras manos: Dioses nuestros; porque en ti el huérfano alcanzará misericordia.
Asshur shall not help us; upon horses will we not ride: and we will no more say, Ye are our gods, to the work of our hands; for in thee alone the fatherless obtaineth mercy.”
4 Yo medicinaré su rebelión, los amaré de voluntad; porque mi furor se apartó de ellos.
I will heal their backsliding, I will love them freely; for my anger is turned away from them.
5 Yo seré a Israel como rocío; él florecerá como lirio, y extenderá sus raíces como el Líbano.
I will be as the dew unto Israel: he shall bloom as the lily; and he shall strike his roots as [the forests of] Lebanon.
6 Se extenderán sus ramos, y será su gloria como la de la oliva, y olerá como el Líbano.
His suckers shall spread out, and his beauty shall be as that of the olive-tree, and his smell as that of the Lebanon.
7 Volverán los que se sentarán bajo su sombra; serán vivificados como trigo, y florecerán como la vid; su olor, como de vino del Líbano.
They shall return that sat under his shade; they shall revive as corn, and bloom as the vine: the scent of which shall be as that of the wine of Lebanon.
8 Efraín entonces dirá: ¿Qué más tendré ya con los ídolos? Yo lo oiré, y miraré; yo seré a él como la haya verde; de mí será hallado tu fruto.
Ephraim [shall say], What have I to do any more with idols? I have answered, and will observe him; I will be [to him] like a green fir-tree; through me is thy fruit found.
9 ¿Quién es sabio para que entienda esto, y prudente para que lo sepa? Porque los caminos del SEÑOR son derechos, y los justos andarán por ellos; mas los rebeldes en ellos caerán.
Who is wise, that he may understand these things? intelligent, that he may know them? for righteous are the ways of the Lord; and the just shall walk in them; but the transgressors will stumble through them.
