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 would have healed Israel, the iniquity of Ephraim was discovered, and the wickedness of Samaria, for they have committed falsehood, and the thief is come in to steal, the robber is without.
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 lest they may say in their hearts, that I remember all their wickedness: their own devices now have beset them about, they have been done before my face.
3 En su pecado alegran al rey; y a los gobernantes con su engaño.
They have made the king glad with their wickedness: and the princes with 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 heated by the baker: the city rested a little from the mingling of the leaven, till 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.
The day of our king, the princes began to be mad with wine: he stretched out his hand with scorners.
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.
Because they have applied their heart like an oven, when he laid snares for them: he slept all the night baking them, in the morning he himself was heated as a flaming 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 were all heated like an oven, and have devoured their judges: all their kings have fallen: there is none amongst them that calleth unto me.
8 Efraín se mezcla con los pueblos; Efraín es una torta no volteada.
Ephraim himself is mixed among the nations: Ephraim is become as bread baked under the ashes, that is not turned.
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 knew it not: yea, grey hairs also are spread about upon 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 shall be humbled before his face: and they have not returned to the Lord their God, nor have they sought him in all these.
11 Y Efraín es como una paloma necia, sin sabiduría; llaman a Egipto, y van a Asiria.
And Ephraim is become as a dove that is decoyed, not having a heart: 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 shall go, I will spread my net upon them: I will bring them down as the fowl of the air, I will strike them as their congregation hath heard.
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 departed from me: they shall be wasted because they have transgressed against 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 to me with their heart, but they howled in their beds: they have thought upon wheat and wine, they are departed from me.
15 Aunque les he dado entrenamiento y fuerza a sus brazos, tienen planes malvados contra mí.
And I have chastised them, and strengthened 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, that they might be without yoke: they became like a deceitful bow: their princes shall fall by the sword, for the rage of their tongue. This is their derision in the land of Egypt.
