Oseas 2

1 Decid a vuestros hermanos, Ammi, y vuestras hermanas, Ruhama:

Say to your brother, My people, and to your sister, Pitied.

2 Pleitead con vuestra madre, pleitead; porque ella no es mi mujer, ni yo su marido; quite, pues, sus fornicaciones de su rostro, y sus adulterios de entre sus pechos;

Plead with your mother, plead: for she is not my wife, and I am not her husband: and I will remove her fornication out of my presence, and her adultery from between her breasts:

3 para que yo no la despoje desnuda, y la haga tornar como el día en que nació, y la ponga como un desierto, y la deje como tierra seca, y la mate de sed.

that I may strip her naked, and make her again as she was at the day of her birth: and I will make her desolate, and make her as a dry land, and will kill her with thirst.

4 Ni tendré misericordia de sus hijos, porque son hijos de fornicaciones.

And I will not have mercy upon her children; for they are children of fornication.

5 Porque su madre fornicó; la que los engendró fue avergonzada; porque dijo: Iré tras mis amantes, que me dan mi pan y mi agua, mi lana y mi lino, mi aceite y mi bebida.

And their mother went a-whoring: she that bore them disgraced [them]: for she said, I will go after my lovers, that give me my bread and my water, and my garments, and my linen clothes, my oil and my necessaries.

6 Por tanto, he aquí yo cerco tu camino con espinas, y la cercaré con seto, y no hallará sus caminos.

Therefore, behold, I hedge up her way with thorns, and I will stop the ways, and she shall not find her path.

7 Y seguirá a sus amantes, y no los alcanzará; los buscará, y no los hallará. Entonces dirá: Iré, y me volveré a mi primer marido; porque mejor me iba entonces que ahora.

And she shall follow after her lovers, and shall not overtake them; and she shall seek them, but shall not find them: and she shall say, I will go, and return to my former husband; for it was better with me than now.

8 Y ella no reconoció que yo le daba el trigo, y el vino, y el aceite, y que les multipliqué la plata y el oro con que hicieron a Baal.

And she knew not that I gave her her corn, and wine, and oil, and multiplied silver to her: but she made silver and gold [images] for Baal.

9 Por tanto yo tornaré, y tomaré mi trigo a su tiempo, y mi vino a su sazón, y quitaré mi lana y mi lino que había dado para cubrir su desnudez.

Therefore I will return, and take away my corn in its season, and my wine in its time; and I will take away my raiment and my linen clothes, so that she shall not cover her nakedness.

10 Y ahora descubriré yo su locura delante de los ojos de sus amantes, y nadie la librará de mi mano.

And now I will expose her uncleanness before her lovers, and no one shall by any means deliver her out of my hand.

11 Y haré cesar todo su gozo, su fiesta, su nueva luna y su sábado, y todas sus festividades.

And I will take away all her gladness, her feasts, and her festivals at the new moon, and her sabbaths, and all her solemn assemblies.

12 Y haré talar su vid y su higuera, de la que ha dicho: Mi salario me son, que me han dado mis amantes. Y las reduciré a un matorral, y las comerán las bestias del campo.

And I will utterly destroy her vines, and her fig-trees, all things of which she said, These are my hire which my lovers have given me: and I will make them a testimony, and the wild beasts of the field, and the birds of the sky, and the reptiles of the earth shall devour them.

13 Y visitaré sobre ella los tiempos de los baales, a los cuales incensaba, y se adornaba de sus zarcillos y de sus joyeles, y se iba tras sus amantes olvidada de mí, dice el SEÑOR.

And I will recompense on her the days of Baalim, wherein she sacrificed to them, and put on her ear-rings, and her necklaces, and went after her lovers, and forgot me, says the Lord.

14 Por tanto he aquí, yo la induciré, y la llevaré al desierto, y hablaré a su corazón.

Therefore, behold, I [will] cause her to err, and will make her as desolate, and will speak comfortably to her.

15 Y le daré sus viñas desde allí, y el valle de Acor por puerta de esperanza; y allí cantará como en los tiempos de su juventud, y como en el día de su subida de la tierra de Egipto.

And I will giver her possessions from thence, and the valley of Achor to open her understanding: and she shall be afflicted there according to the days of her infancy, and according to the days of her coming up out of the land of Egypt.

16 Y será que en aquel tiempo, dice el SEÑOR, me llamarás marido mío, y nunca más me llamarás Baali.

And it shall come to pass in that day, says the Lord, [that] she shall call me, My husband, and shall no longer call me Baalim.

17 Porque quitaré de su boca los nombres de los baales, y nunca más serán mentados por su nombre.

And I will take away the names of Baalim out of her mouth, and their names shall be remembered no more at all.

18 Y haré por ellos concierto en aquel tiempo con las bestias del campo, y con las aves del cielo, y con las serpientes de la tierra; y quebraré arco, y espada, y batalla de la tierra, y los haré dormir seguros.

And I will make for them in that day a covenant with the wild beasts of the field, and with the birds of the sky, and with the reptiles of the earth: and I will break the bow and the sword and the battle from off the earth, and will cause you to dwell safely.

19 Y te desposaré conmigo para siempre; te desposaré conmigo en justicia, juicio, misericordia, y miseraciones.

And I will betroth you to myself for ever; yes, I will betroth you to myself in righteousness, and in judgment, and in mercy, and in tender compassions;

20 Y te desposaré conmigo en fe, y conocerás al SEÑOR.

and I will betroth you to myself in faithfulness: and you shall know the Lord.

21 Y será que en aquel tiempo responderé, dice el SEÑOR, yo responderé a los cielos, y ellos responderán a la tierra;

And it shall come to pass in that day, says the Lord, I will listen to the heaven, and it shall listen to the earth;

22 y la tierra responderá al trigo, al vino, y al aceite, y ellos responderán a Jezreel.

and the earth shall listen to the corn, and the wine, and the oil; and they shall listen to Jezrael.

23 Y la sembraré para mí en la tierra, y tendré misericordia de Lo-ruhama; y diré a Lo-ammi: pueblo mío tú; y él dirá: Dios mío.

And I will sow her to me on the earth; and will love her that was not loved, and will say to that which was not my people, You are my people; and they shall say, You are the Lord my God.
