Oseas 5

1 Sacerdotes, oíd esto, y estad atentos, Casa de Israel; y Casa del Rey, escuchad: porque para vosotros es el juicio, pues habéis sido lazo en Mizpa, y red extendida sobre Tabor.

“Hear this, O priests, and attend, O house of Israel, And, O house of the king, give ear, For the judgment [is] for you, For you have been a snare on Mizpah, And a net spread out on Tabor.

2 Y matando sacrificios han bajado hasta lo profundo; por tanto, yo seré la corrección de todos ellos.

And to slaughter sinners have gone deep, And I [am] a chain to them all.

3 Yo conozco a Efraín, e Israel no me es desconocido; porque ahora, oh Efraín, has fornicado, y se ha contaminado Israel.

I have known Ephraim, And Israel has not been hid from Me, For now you have gone whoring, Ephraim, Israel is defiled.

4 No pondrán sus pensamientos en volverse a su Dios, porque espíritu de fornicación está en medio de ellos, y no conocen al SEÑOR.

They do not give up their habitual doings, To turn back to their God, For a spirit of whoredoms [is] in their midst, And YHWH they have not known.

5 Y la soberbia de Israel le desmentirá en su cara; e Israel y Efraín tropezarán en su pecado; tropezará también Judá con ellos.

And humbled has been the excellence of Israel to his face, And Israel and Ephraim stumble by their iniquity, Judah has also stumbled with them.

6 Con sus ovejas y con sus vacas andarán buscando al SEÑOR, y no le hallarán; se apartó de ellos.

With their flock and with their herd, They go to seek YHWH, and do not find, He has withdrawn from them.

7 Contra el SEÑOR se rebelaron, porque engendraron hijos extraños; ahora los devorará un mes con sus heredades.

Against YHWH they dealt treacherously, For they have begotten strange sons, Now a month consumes them [with] their portions.

8 Tocad el shofar en Gabaa, trompeta en Ramá; sonad tambor en Bet-avén; tras ti, oh Benjamín.

Blow a horn in Gibeah, a trumpet in Ramah, Shout, O Beth-Aven, after you, O Benjamin.

9 Efraín será asolado el día del castigo; en las tribus de Israel hice conocer mi verdad.

Ephraim is for a desolation in a day of reproof, I have made known a sure thing among the tribes of Israel.

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

Princes of Judah have been as those removing a border, I pour out My wrath as water on them.

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

Ephraim is oppressed, broken in judgment, When he pleased he went after the command.

12 Yo, pues, seré como polilla a Efraín, y como carcoma a la Casa de Judá.

And I [am] as a moth to Ephraim, And as a rotten thing to the house of Judah.

13 Y verá Efraín su enfermedad, y Judá su llaga: irá entonces Efraín al Assur, y enviará al rey de Jareb; mas él no os podrá sanar, ni os curará la llaga.

And Ephraim sees his sickness, and Judah his wound, And Ephraim goes to Asshur, And sends to a warlike king, And he is not able to give healing to you, Nor does he remove a scar from you.

14 Porque yo seré como león a Efraín, y como cachorro de león a la Casa de Judá; yo, yo arrebataré, y andaré; tomaré, y no habrá quien escape.

For I [am] as a lion to Ephraim, And as a young lion to the house of Judah, I tear and go, I carry away, and there is no deliverer.

15 Andaré, y tornaré a mi lugar, hasta que conozcan su pecado, y busquen mi rostro. En su angustia madrugarán a mí.

I go—I return to My place, Until they are desolate, and have sought My face. In their distress they seek Me speedily!”
