Oseas 7
1 Estando yo curando a Israel, se descubrió la iniquidad de Efraín, y las maldades de Samaria; porque obraron engaño; y viene el ladrón, y el salteador despoja de fuera.
When I have healed Israel, then shall the iniquity of Ephraim be revealed, and the wickedness of Samaria; for they have wrought falsehood: and a thief shall come in to him, [even] a robber spoiling in his way;
2 Y no dicen en su corazón que tengo en la memoria toda su maldad; ahora los rodearán sus obras; delante de mi presencia están.
that they may concert together as [men] singing in their heart: I remember all their wickedness: now have their own counsels compassed them about; they came before my face.
3 Con su maldad alegran al rey, y a los príncipes con sus mentiras.
They gladdened kings with their wickedness, and princes with their lies.
4 Todos ellos adúlteros; son como horno encendido por el hornero, el cual cesará de despertar después que esté hecha la masa, hasta que esté leudada.
They are all adulterers, as an oven glowing with flame for hot-baking, on account of the kneading of the dough, until it is leavened.
5 El día de nuestro Rey los príncipes lo hicieron enfermar con odre de vino; extendió su mano con los escarnecedores.
[In] the days of our kings, the princes began to be inflamed with wine: he stretched out his hand with pestilent fellows.
6 Porque aplicaron su corazón, semejante a un horno, en sus asechanzas; toda la noche duerme su hornero; a la mañana está su horno encendido como llama de fuego.
Therefore their hearts are inflamed as an oven, while they rage all the night: Ephraim is satisfied with sleep; the morning is come; he is burnt up as a flame of fire.
7 Todos ellos arden como un horno, y devoraron a sus jueces; cayeron todos sus reyes; no hay entre ellos quien clame a mí.
They are all heated like an oven, and have devoured their judges: all their kings are fallen; there was not among them one that called on me.
8 Efraín se envolvió con los pueblos; Efraín fue torta no vuelta.
Ephraim is mixed among his people; Ephraim became a cake not turned.
9 Comieron extraños su sustancia, y él no lo supo; y aun vejez se ha esparcido por él, y él no lo entendió.
Strangers devoured his strength, and he knew [it] not; and grey hairs came upon him, and he knew [it] not.
10 Y la soberbia de Israel testificará contra él en su cara; y no se tornaron al SEÑOR su Dios, ni lo buscaron con todo esto.
And the pride of Israel shall be brought down before his face: yet they have not returned to the Lord their God, neither have they diligently sought him for all this.
11 Y fue Efraín como paloma engañada, sin entendimiento; llamarán a Egipto, acudirán al asirio.
And Ephraim was as a silly dove, not having a heart: he called to Egypt, and they went to the Assyrians.
12 Cuando fueren, extenderé sobre ellos mi red; los haré caer como aves del cielo; los castigaré conforme a lo que se ha oído en sus congregaciones.
Whenever they shall go, I will cast my net upon them; I will bring them down as the birds of the sky, I will chasten them with the rumor of their [coming] affliction.
13 ¡Ay de ellos! Porque se apartaron de mí; destrucción sobre ellos, porque contra mí se rebelaron; yo los redimí, y ellos hablaron contra mí mentiras.
Woe to them! for they have started aside from me: they are cowards; for they have sinned against me: yet I redeemed them, but they spoke falsehoods against me.
14 Y no clamaron a mí con su corazón cuando aullaron sobre sus camas; para el trigo y el mosto se congregaron; se rebelaron contra mí.
And their hearts did not cry to me, but they howled on their beds: they pined for oil and wine.
15 Y yo los ceñí, esforcé sus brazos, y contra mí pensaron mal.
They were instructed by me, and I strengthened their arms; and they devised evils against me.
16 Se tornaron, mas no al Altísimo; fueron como arco engañoso; cayeron sus príncipes a cuchillo por la soberbia de su lengua; éste será su escarnio en la tierra de Egipto.
They turned aside to that which is not, they became as a bent bow: their princes shall fall by the sword, by reason of the unbridled state of their tongue: this is their setting at nothing in the land of Egypt.
