< Oseas 2 >

1 Decíd a vuestros hermanos: Ammi; y a vuestras hermanas: Ruhama.
"Say to your brothers, 'My People.' and to your sisters, 'Compassion.'
2 Pleitéad con vuestra madre, pleitéad; porque ella no es mi mujer, ni yo su marido; y quite sus fornicaciones de su rostro, y sus adulterios de entre sus pechos:
Contend with your mother. Contend, for she is not my wife, neither am I her husband; and let her put away her prostitution from her face, and her adulteries from between her breasts;
3 Porque yo no la despoje desnuda, y la haga tornar como el día en que nació, y la ponga como un desierto, y la ponga como tierra seca, y la mate de sed.
Lest I strip her naked, and make her bare as in the day that she was born, and make her like a wilderness, and set her like a dry land, and kill her with thirst.
4 Ni tendré misericordia de sus hijos; porque son hijos de fornicaciones.
Indeed, on her children I will have no mercy; for they are children of unfaithfulness;
5 Porque su madre fornicó: avergonzóse la que los engendró, porque dijo: Iré tras mis enamorados, que me dan mi pan y mi agua, mi lana y mi lino, mi aceite y mi bebida.
For their mother has played the prostitute. She who conceived them has done shamefully; for she said, 'I will go after my lovers, who give me my bread and my water, my wool and my flax, my oil and my drink.'
6 Por tanto he aquí que yo cerco tu camino con espinas, y cercaré con seto, y no hallará sus caminos.
Therefore, look, I will hedge up her way with thorns, and I will build a wall against her, that she can't find her way.
7 Y seguirá sus enamorados, y no los alcanzará: buscarlos ha, y no los hallará: entonces dirá: Iré, y volverme he a mi primer marido; porque mejor me iba entonces que ahora.
She will follow after her lovers, but she won't overtake them; and she will seek them, but won't find them. Then she will say, 'I will go and return to my first husband; for then was it better with me than now.'
8 Y ella no sabía que yo le daba el trigo, y el vino, y el aceite; y les multipliqué la plata y el oro con que hicieron a Baal.
For she did not know that I gave her the grain, the new wine, and the oil, and multiplied to her silver and gold, which they used for Baal.
9 Por tanto yo tornaré, y tomaré mi trigo a su tiempo, y mi vino a su sazón, y quitaré mi lana y mi lino, que había dado para cubrir su desnudez.
Therefore I will take back my grain in its time, and my new wine in its season, and will pluck away my wool and my flax which should have covered her nakedness.
10 Y ahora yo descubriré su vileza delante de los ojos de sus enamorados, y nadie la escapará de mi mano.
Now I will uncover her lewdness in the sight of her lovers, and no one will deliver her out of my hand.
11 Y haré cesar todo su gozo, su fiesta, su nueva luna, y su sábado, y todas sus festividades.
I will also cause all her celebrations to cease: her feasts, her new moons, her Sabbaths, and all her solemn assemblies.
12 Y haré talar su vid y su higuera, de que ha dicho: Mi salario me son, que me han dado mis enamorados. Y ponerlas he por monte, y comerlas han las bestias del campo.
I will lay waste her vines and her fig trees, about which she has said, 'These are my wages that my lovers have given me; and I will make them a forest,' and the animals of the field shall eat them.
13 Y visitaré sobre ella los tiempos de los Baales, a los cuales incensaba, y adornábase de sus zarcillos y de sus joyeles, y se iba tras sus enamorados, olvidada de mí, dice Jehová.
I will visit on her the days of the Baals, to which she burned incense, when she decked herself with her earrings and her jewels, and went after her lovers, and forgot me," says the LORD.
14 Por tanto he aquí que yo la induciré, y la llevaré al desierto, y hablaré a su corazón.
"Therefore, look, I will allure her, and bring her into the wilderness, and speak tenderly to her.
15 Y darle he sus viñas desde allí, y el valle de Acor en puerta de esperanza; y allí cantará como en los tiempos de su juventud, y como en el día de su subida de la tierra de Egipto.
I will give her vineyards from there, and the Valley of Achor for a door of hope; and she will respond there, as in the days of her youth, and as in the day when she came up out of the land of Egypt.
16 Y será que en aquel tiempo, dice Jehová, me llamarás: Marido mío; y nunca más me llamarás: Baalí.
It will be in that day," says the LORD, "that you will call me 'my husband,' and no longer call me 'my master.'
17 Porque quitaré de su boca los nombres de los Baales, y nunca más serán mentados por su nombre.
For I will take away the names of the Baals out of her mouth, and they will no longer be mentioned by name.
18 Y haré por ellos concierto en aquel tiempo con las bestias del campo, y con las aves del cielo, y con las serpientes de la tierra; y quebraré arco, y espada, y batalla de la tierra, y hacerlos he dormir seguros.
In that day I will make a covenant for them with the animals of the field, and with the birds of the sky, and with the crawling creatures of the ground. I will break the bow, the sword, and the battle out of the land, and will make them lie down safely.
19 Y desposarte he conmigo para siempre; desposarte he conmigo en justicia, y juicio, y misericordia, y miseraciones.
I will betroth you to me forever. Yes, I will betroth you to me in righteousness, in justice, in loving kindness, and in compassion.
20 Y desposarte he conmigo en fe, y conocerás a Jehová.
I will even betroth you to me in faithfulness; and you shall know the LORD.
21 Y será que en aquel tiempo yo responderé, dice Jehová, yo responderé a los cielos, y ellos responderán a la tierra.
It will happen in that day, I will respond," says the LORD, "I will respond to the heavens, and they will respond to the earth;
22 Y la tierra responderá al trigo, y al vino, y al aceite; y ellos responderán a Jezrael.
and the earth will respond to the grain, and the new wine, and the oil; and they will respond to Jezreel.
23 Y sembrarla he para mí en la tierra, y habré misericordia de Lo-ruhama; y diré a Lo-ammi: Pueblo mío tú; y él dirá: Dios mío.
And I will sow her for myself in the land; and I will compassion on No Compassion; and I will say to Not My People, 'You are my people;' and they will say, 'My God.'"
