Oseas 9

1 No tengas gozo, oh Israel, y no te alegres como las naciones; porque no has sido fiel a tu Dios; te has prostituido, has amado la recompensa de ramera en cada piso de grano.

Have no joy, O Israel, and do not be glad like the nations; for you have been untrue to your God; your desire has been for the loose woman's reward on every grain-floor.

2 El piso de grano y el lugar donde se trituran las uvas no les dará comida; no habrá vino nuevo para ellos.

The grain-floor and the place where the grapes are crushed will not give them food; there will be no new wine for them.

3 No tendrán lugar de descanso en la tierra del Señor, pero Efraín volverá a Egipto y tomarán comida inmunda en Asiria.

They will have no resting-place in the Lord's land, but Ephraim will go back to Egypt, and they will take unclean food in Assyria.

4 No harán ofrendas de vino al Señor; ni le serán gratos sus sacrificios; su pan será como el pan de los afligidos; todos los que lo tomen serán inmundos, porque su pan será sólo para sí mismos, no entrará en la casa del Señor.

They will give no wine offering to the Lord, they will not make offerings ready for him; their bread will be like the bread of those in sorrow; all who take it will be unclean, because their bread will be only for their desire, it will not come into the house of the Lord.

5 ¿Qué harán en el día de la adoración y el día de la fiesta del Señor?

What will you do on the day of worship, and on the day of the feast of the Lord?

6 Porque he aquí se van a causa de la destrucción, se van a Asiria; Egipto los reunirá, Menfis será su último lugar de descanso; sus bonitas vasijas de plata estarán cubiertas con plantas de campo, y espinas subirán en sus tiendas.

For see, they are going away into Assyria; Egypt will get them together, Memphis will be their last resting-place; their fair silver vessels will be covered over with field plants, and thorns will come up in their tents.

7 Los días de castigo, los días de recompensa han llegado; Israel será avergonzado; el profeta es tonto, el hombre que tiene el espíritu está fuera de sí por tu gran iniquidad y odio.

The days of punishment, the days of reward are come; Israel will be put to shame; the prophet is foolish, the man who has the spirit is off his head, because of your great sin.

8 Hay gran odio contra el vigilante de Efraín, el pueblo de mi Dios; En cuanto al profeta, hay una emboscada en todos sus caminos, y odio en la casa de su Dios.

There is great hate against the watchman of Ephraim, the people of my God; as for the prophet, there is a net in all his ways, and hate in the house of his God.

9 Se han corrompido en el mal profundamente como en los días de Guibeá; Él tendrá en cuenta su mala conducta, les dará castigo por sus pecados.

They have gone deep in evil as in the days of Gibeah; he will keep in mind their wrongdoing, he will give them punishment for their sins.

10 Encontré a Israel como a las uvas en la tierra baldía; Vi a tus padres como las primicias de la higuera en su primera época de frutos; pero vinieron a Baal-peor, se consagraron a la vergüenza y se volvieron asquerosos como aquello a lo que dieron su amor.

I made discovery of Israel as of grapes in the waste land; I saw your fathers as the first-fruits of the fig-tree in her early fruit time; but they came to Baal-peor, and made themselves holy to the thing of shame, and became disgusting like that to which they gave their love.

11 En cuanto a Efraín, su gloria se irá volando como un pájaro; no habrá nacimiento, desde el embarazo, desde la concepción.

As for Ephraim, their glory will go in flight like a bird: there will be no birth and no one with child and no giving of life.

12 Aunque sus hijos hayan crecido, los quitaré, para que no haya nadie allí; Ay! de ellos cuando de ellos me aparte.

Even though their children have come to growth I will take them away, so that not a man will be there; for their evil-doing will be complete and they will be put to shame because of it.

13 Efraín, como he visto a Tiro, está plantado en pradera hermosa, Efraín dará a luz a niños solo para que sean ejecutados.

As I have seen a beast whose young have been taken from her, so Ephraim will give birth to children only for them to be put to death.

14 Señor, ¿qué les darás? Dales cuerpos que no puedan dar a luz y senos sin leche.

O Lord, what will you give them? Give them bodies which may not give birth and breasts without milk.

15 Toda su maldad está en Gilgal; allí los odiaba; por su maldad los enviaré fuera de mi casa; ya no me serán queridos; todos sus gobernantes son rebeldes.

All their evil-doing is in Gilgal; there I had hate for them; because of their evil-doing I will send them out of my house; they will no longer be dear to me; all their rulers are uncontrolled.

16 Efraín está herido, su raíz está seca, que no tengan fruto; aunque den a luz, haré morir el fruto más querido de sus cuerpos.

The rod has come on Ephraim, their root is dry, let them have no fruit; even though they give birth, I will put to death the dearest fruit of their bodies.

17 Mi Dios los abandonará porque no le hicieron caso; estarán vagando entre las naciones.

My God will give them up because they did not give ear to him; they will be wandering among the nations.
