Oseas 7
1 Cuando mi deseo era que el destino de mi pueblo cambiara y que Israel se sanará, entonces el pecado de Efraín quedó claro y la maldad de Samaria; porque sus caminos son de engaño, el ladrón entra a la casa, mientras los bandidos despojan por fuera.
When I was willing to heal Israel, the iniquity of Ephraim was discovered, and the malice of Samaria, for they had been manufacturing lies. And the thief steals from inside, the robber from outside.
2 Y no se dicen a sí mismos que tengo en mente todos sus pecados; ahora sus actos malvados los rodean por todos lados; están ahí delante de mi presencia.
And, so that they may not say in their hearts that I am the one who has called to mind all of their wickedness: now their own inventions have encircled them. These things have happened in my presence.
3 En su pecado alegran al rey; y a los gobernantes con su engaño.
The king has rejoiced at their wickedness, and the leaders have rejoiced in their lies.
4 Todos son adúlteros; son como un horno encendido por él panadero; que deja de atizar el fuego; desde el momento en que amasa la harina hasta que se fermenta.
They are all adulterers; like an oven heating up before baking, the city rested a little before the leaven was mixed in, until the whole was leavened.
5 En el día de nuestro rey, los gobernantes lo enfermaron con el calor del vino; su mano estaba extendida con los hombres orgullosos.
On the day of our king, the leaders began to be mad with wine; he extended his hand with those who fabricate illusions.
6 Porque han preparado sus corazones como un horno, mientras esperan en secreto; su ira duerme toda la noche; en la mañana arde como un fuego ardiente.
For they have used their heart like an oven, while he laid snares for them; he slept through the night baking them, and by morning he himself was heated like a burning fire.
7 Todos se calientan como un horno, y acaban con sus jueces; todos sus reyes han sido humillados; ninguno de ellos clama a mí.
They have all become hot like an oven, and they have devoured their judges. All their kings have fallen. There is no one who calls to me among them.
8 Efraín se mezcla con los pueblos; Efraín es una torta no volteada.
Ephraim himself has been mingled with the nations. Ephraim has become like bread, baked under ashes, that has not been turned over.
9 Hombres de otras tierras han devorado su fuerza, y él no es consciente de ello; le han salido canas aquí y allá, y él no lo sabe.
Strangers have devoured his strength, and he did not know it. And grey hairs also have spread across him, and he is ignorant of it.
10 Y el orgullo de Israel se muestra en su rostro; pero por todo esto, no han regresado al Señor su Dios, ni lo han buscado.
And the pride of Israel will be brought low before his face, for they have not returned to the Lord their God, nor have they sought him in all of this.
11 Y Efraín es como una paloma necia, sin sabiduría; llaman a Egipto, y van a Asiria.
And Ephraim has become like a pigeon that has been led astray, not having a heart; for they called upon Egypt, they went to the Assyrians.
12 Cuando se vayan, mi red se extenderá sobre ellos; Los tomaré como las aves del cielo, les daré castigo, los llevaré a la red por su pecado.
And when they will set out, I will spread my net over them. I will pull them down like the birds of the sky; I will cut them down in accordance with the reports of their meetings.
13 ¡Que los problemas sean de ellos! porque se han alejado de mí; y destrucción, porque han estado pecando contra mí; Estaba listo para ser su salvador, pero dijeron mentiras en mi contra.
Woe to them, for they have withdrawn from me. They will waste away because they have been dishonest with me. And I redeemed them, and they have spoken lies against me.
14 Y no claman a mí de corazón, cuando gimen en sus camas; se reúnen por comida y vino, se rebelaron contra mí.
And they have not cried out to me in their heart, but they howled on their beds. They have obsessed about wheat and wine; they have withdrawn from me.
15 Aunque les he dado entrenamiento y fuerza a sus brazos, tienen planes malvados contra mí.
And I have educated them, and I have reinforced their arms; and they have imagined evil against me.
16 Han ido a lo que no tiene valor; no se volvieron al altísimo, pero son como un falso arco; sus capitanes serán destruidos por la espada y la insolencia de su lengua; por esto, en la tierra de Egipto se burlaran de ellos.
They returned so that they might be without a yoke. They have become like a deceitful bow. Their leaders will fall by the sword because of the madness of their words. This is their derision in the land of Egypt.
