Hosea 5
1 Hear this, priests, and pay attention, house of Israel, and listen closely, house of the king. For there is a judgment against you, because you have become a trap for those you watched over, and a net stretched out over Tabor.
¡Oigan esto, sacerdotes! ¡Atiendan, oh Casa de Israel! Presten atención, oh casa real. A ustedes afecta esta sentencia, porque fueron trampa en Mizpa, red tendida en la montaña Tabor,
2 And you have led astray victims into the depths, though I am the teacher of them all.
y fosa cavada en Sitim. Yo los castigaré a todos.
3 I know Ephraim, and Israel has not been hidden from me, yet now Ephraim has committed fornication, and Israel has been contaminated.
Conozco a Efraín, e Israel no se me oculta. Tú, Efraín, incitaste a la prostitución, e Israel se contaminó.
4 They will not set their thoughts to return to their God, for the spirit of fornication is in the midst of them, and they have not known the Lord.
Sus obras no los dejan volver a su ʼElohim, porque un espíritu de prostitución está dentro de ellos, y no conocen a Yavé.
5 And the arrogance of Israel will answer to his face. And Israel and Ephraim will fall in their iniquity, and even Judah will fall with them.
La soberbia de Israel testifica contra él mismo. Israel y Efraín tropezaron en su pecado, y Judá tropezará con ellos.
6 With their flocks and their herds, they will go to seek the Lord, and they will not find him. He has taken himself away from them.
Con sus rebaños y manadas de ganado vacuno Irán a buscar a Yavé, pero no lo hallarán. Él se apartó de ellos.
7 They have sinned against the Lord. For they have conceived sons that are strangers. Now one month will devour them with all their own.
Ellos traicionaron a Yavé, porque engendraron hijos ilegítimos. Ahora los devorará la luna nueva junto con su tierra.
8 Sound the bugle in Gibeah, the trumpet in Ramah. Shout in Bethaven, behind your back, O Benjamin.
¡Toquen la trompeta en Gabaa y la trompeta en Ramá! ¡Toquen la alarma en Bet-avén! ¡Detrás de ti, oh Benjamín!
9 Ephraim will be in desolation on the day of correction, for within the tribes of Israel, I have revealed faith.
Efraín será asolado el día del castigo. Entre las tribus de Israel declaro lo que es seguro.
10 The leaders of Judah have become like those who assume the end. I will pour my wrath over them like water.
Los gobernantes de Judá son como los que desplazan linderos. Derramaré mi ira sobre ellos como el agua.
11 Ephraim has been enduring malicious slander and broken judgment, because he began to go after filth.
Efraín está oprimido, sus derechos violados, porque quiso seguir mandatos.
12 And I will be like a moth to Ephraim, and like decay to the house of Judah.
Yo seré, pues, como polilla a Efraín, y como carcoma a la Casa de Judá.
13 And Ephraim saw his own weakness, and Judah his chains. And Ephraim went to Assur, and he sent to the Avenging king. But he will not be able to heal you, nor is he able to release you from your chains.
Cuando Efraín vio su enfermedad, y Judá miró su llaga, entonces Efraín fue a Asiria y acudió al rey Jareb. Pero él no puede sanarlos, ni curar su llaga.
14 For I will be like a lioness to Ephraim, and like a lion’s offspring to the house of Judah. I myself will seize and go forth. I will take away, and there is no one who can rescue.
Porque Yo seré como un león para Efraín, y como un leoncillo para la Casa de Judá. Yo, Yo mismo haré presa y me iré. La llevo, y no hay quien me la quite.
15 I will go and return to my place, until you shall grow faint and seek my face.
Me iré y regresaré a mi lugar hasta que reconozcan su pecado y busquen mi rostro. En su aflicción me buscarán sinceramente.
