< Oseas 2 >

1 Decíd a vuestros hermanos: Ammi; y a vuestras hermanas: Ruhama.
'Say ye to your brethren — Ammi, And to your sisters — Ruhamah.
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:
Plead ye with your mother — plead, (For she [is] not My wife, and I [am] not her husband, ) And she turneth her whoredoms from before her, 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 have set her up as [in] the day of her birth, And have made her as a wilderness, And have set her as a dry land, And have put her to death with thirst.
4 Ni tendré misericordia de sus hijos; porque son hijos de fornicaciones.
And her sons I do not pity, For sons of whoredoms [are] they,
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 gone a-whoring hath their mother, Acted shamefully hath their conceiver, For she hath said, I go after my lovers, Those giving 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, lo, I am hedging up thy way with thorns, And I have made for her a wall, And her paths she doth not find.
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.
And she hath pursued her lovers, And she doth not overtake them, And hath sought them, and doth not find, And she hath said: I go, and I turn back unto My first husband, For — better to me then 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.
And she knew not that I had given to her, The corn, and the new wine, and the oil. Yea, silver I did multiply to her, And the gold they prepared 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 do I turn back, And I have taken My corn in its season, And My new wine in its appointed time, And I have taken away My wool and My flax, covering her nakedness.
10 Y ahora yo descubriré su vileza delante de los ojos de sus enamorados, y nadie la escapará de mi mano.
And now do I reveal her dishonour before the eyes of her lovers, And none doth 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.
And I have caused to cease all her joy, Her festival, her new moon, and her sabbath, Even all her appointed times,
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.
And made desolate her vine and her fig-tree, Of which she said, A gift they [are] to me, That my lovers have given to me, And I have made them for a forest, And consumed them hath a beast of the field.
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.
And I have charged on her the days of the Baalim, To whom she maketh perfume, And putteth on her ring and her ornament, And goeth after her lovers, And Me forgat — an affirmation of Jehovah.
14 Por tanto he aquí que yo la induciré, y la llevaré al desierto, y hablaré a su corazón.
Therefore, lo, I am enticing her, And have caused her to go to the wilderness, And I have spoken unto her heart,
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.
And given to her her vineyards from thence, And the valley of Achor for an opening of hope, And she hath responded there as in the days of her youth, And as in the day of her coming 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.
And it hath come to pass, in that day, An affirmation of Jehovah, Thou dost call Me — My husband, And dost not call Me any more — My lord.
17 Porque quitaré de su boca los nombres de los Baales, y nunca más serán mentados por su nombre.
And I have turned aside the names of the lords from her mouth, And they are not remembered any more by their 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.
And I have made to them a covenant in that day, with the beast of the field, And with the fowl of the heavens, And the creeping thing of the ground, And bow, and sword, and war I break from off the land, And have caused them to lie down confidently.
19 Y desposarte he conmigo para siempre; desposarte he conmigo en justicia, y juicio, y misericordia, y miseraciones.
And I have betrothed thee to Me to the age, And betrothed thee to Me in righteousness, And in judgment, and kindness, and mercies,
20 Y desposarte he conmigo en fe, y conocerás a Jehová.
And betrothed thee to Me in faithfulness, And thou hast known Jehovah.
21 Y será que en aquel tiempo yo responderé, dice Jehová, yo responderé a los cielos, y ellos responderán a la tierra.
And it hath come to pass in that day, I answer — an affirmation of Jehovah, I answer the heavens, and they answer the earth.
22 Y la tierra responderá al trigo, y al vino, y al aceite; y ellos responderán a Jezrael.
And the earth doth answer the corn, And the new wine, and the oil, And they answer 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 have sowed her to Me in the land, And I have pitied Lo-Ruhamah, And I have said to Lo-Ammi, My people thou [art], and it saith, My God!'
