Oseas 5

1 Sacerdotes, oíd esto, y estád atentos, casa de Israel, y casa del rey, escuchád; porque a vosotros es el juicio; porque habéis sido lazo en Maspad, y red extendida sobre Tabor.

Give ear to this, O priests; give attention, O Israel, and you, family of the king; for you are to be judged; you have been a deceit at Mizpah and a net stretched out on Tabor.

2 Y matando sacrificios han bajado hasta el profundo, y yo la corrección de todos ellos.

They have gone deep in the evil ways of Shittim, but I am the judge of all.

3 Yo conozco a Efraím, e Israel no me es ignorado; porque ahora has fornicado, o! Efraím, y se ha contaminado Israel.

I have knowledge of Ephraim, and Israel is not secret from me; for now, O Ephraim, you have been false to me, Israel has become unclean.

4 No pondrán sus pensamientos en volverse a su Dios, porque espíritu de fornicación está en medio de ellos, y no conocen a Jehová.

Their works will not let them come back to their God, for a false spirit is in them and they have no knowledge of the Lord.

5 Y la soberbia de Israel le desmentirá en su cara; e Israel y Efraím tropezarán en su pecado, tropezará también con ellos Judá.

And the pride of Israel gives an answer to his face; and Ephraim will have a fall through his sins, and the fall of Judah will be the same as theirs.

6 Con sus ovejas, y con sus vacas andarán buscando a Jehová, y no le hallarán: apartóse de ellos.

They will go, with their flocks and their herds, in search of the Lord, but they will not see him; he has taken himself out of their view.

7 Contra Jehová se rebelaron, porque engendraron hijos extraños: ahora los devorará mes con sus heredades.

They have been false to the Lord; they have given birth to strange children; now the new moon will make them waste with their fields.

8 Tocád bocina en Gabaa, trompeta en Rama: sonád atambor en Bet-aven, tras ti, o! Ben-jamín.

Let the horn be sounded in Gibeah and in Ramah; give a loud cry in Beth-aven, They are after you, O Benjamin.

9 Efraím será asolado el día del castigo: en las tribus de Israel hice conocer mi verdad.

Ephraim will become a waste in the day of punishment; I have given knowledge among the tribes of Israel of what is certain.

10 Los príncipes de Judá fueron como los que traspasan mojones: derramaré pues sobre ellos, como agua, mi ira.

The rulers of Judah are like those who take away a landmark; I will let loose my wrath on them like flowing water.

11 Calumniado Efraím, quebrantado en juicio, porque quiso andar tras mandamientos.

Ephraim is troubled; he is crushed by his judges, because he took pleasure in walking after deceit.

12 Y yo seré como polilla a Efraím, y como carcoma a la casa de Judá.

And so to Ephraim I am like a wasting insect, and a destruction to the children of Judah.

13 Y verá Efraím su enfermedad, y Judá su llaga; e irá Efraím al Asur, y enviará al rey de Jareb: mas él no os podrá sanar, ni os curará la llaga.

When Ephraim saw his disease and Judah his wound, then Ephraim went to Assyria and sent to the great king; but he is not able to make you well or give you help for your wound.

14 Porque yo seré como león a Efraím, y como cachorro de león a la casa de Judá: yo, yo arrebataré, y andaré: tomaré, y no habrá quien escape.

For I will be to Ephraim as a lion, and as a young lion to the children of Judah; I, even I, will give him wounds and go away; I will take him away, and there will be no helper.

15 Andaré, y tornaré a mi lugar, hasta que conozcan su pecado, y busquen mi faz: en su angustia madruguen a mí.

I will go back to my place till they are made waste; in their trouble they will go after me early and will make search for me.
