Oseas 7
1 Estando yo curando a Israel, descubrióse la iniquidad de Efraím, y las maldades de Samaria; porque obraron engaño; y el ladrón viene: despoja el salteador de fuera.
When I have healed Israel, then shall the iniquity of Ephraim be revealed, and the wickedness of Samaria; for they have wrought falsehood: and a thief shall come in to him, [even] a robber spoiling in his way;
2 Y no dicen en su corazón, que tengo en la memoria toda su maldad: ahora pues los rodearán sus obras: delante de mi presencia están.
that they may concert together as [men] singing in their heart: I remember all their wickedness: now have their own counsels compassed them about; they came before my face.
3 Con su maldad alegran al rey, y a los príncipes con sus mentiras.
They gladdened kings with their wickedness, and princes with their lies.
4 Todos ellos adúlteros, como horno encendido por el hornero: el cual cesará de despertar después que esté hecha la masa, hasta que esté leuda.
They are all adulterers, as an oven glowing with flame for hot-baking, on account of the kneading of the dough, until it is leavened.
5 El día de nuestro rey los príncipes le hicieron enfermar con cuero de vino: extendió su mano con los burladores.
[In] the days of our kings, the princes began to be inflamed with wine: he stretched out his hand with pestilent fellows.
6 Porque aplicaron, como horno, su corazón asechando: toda la noche duerme su hornero: a la mañana está su horno encendido como llama de fuego.
Wherefore their hearts are inflamed as an oven, while they rage all the night: Ephraim is satisfied with sleep; the morning is come; he is burnt up as a flame of fire.
7 Todos ellos hierven como un horno; y comieron a sus jueces: cayeron todos sus reyes: no hay entre ellos quien clame a mí.
They are all heated like an oven, and have devoured their judges: all their kings are fallen; there was not among them one that called on me.
8 Efraím se envolvió con los pueblos: Efraím fue torta no vuelta.
Ephraim is mixed among his people; Ephraim became a cake not turned.
9 Comieron extraños su sustancia, y él no lo supo; y aun vejez se ha esparcido por él, y él no lo entendió.
Strangers devoured his strength, and he knew [it] not; and grey hairs came upon him, and he knew [it] not.
10 Y la soberbia de Israel testificará contra él en su cara; y no se tornaron a Jehová su Dios, ni le buscaron con todo esto.
And the pride of Israel shall be brought down before his face: yet they have not returned to the Lord their God, neither have they diligently sought him for all this.
11 Y fue Efraím como paloma, engañada sin entendimiento: llamarán a Egipto, irán al Asur.
And Ephraim was as a silly dove, not having a heart: he called to Egypt, and they went to the Assyrians.
12 Cuando fueren, extenderé sobre ellos mi red, hacerlos he caer como aves del cielo: castigarlos he conforme a lo que se ha oído en sus congregaciones.
Whenever they shall go, I will cast my net upon them; I will bring them down as the birds of the sky, I will chasten them with the rumor of their [coming] affliction.
13 ¡Ay de ellos! porque se apartaron de mí: destrucción sobre ellos; porque se rebelaron contra mí: yo los redemí, y ellos hablaron contra mí mentiras.
Woe to them! for they have started aside from me: they are cowards; for they have sinned against me: yet I redeemed them, but they spoke falsehoods against me.
14 Y no clamaron a mí con su corazón, cuando aullaron sobre sus camas: para el trigo y el mosto se congregaron: se rebelaron contra mí.
And their hearts did not cry to me, but they howled on their beds: they pined for oil and wine.
15 Y yo los ceñí, esforcé sus brazos, y contra mí pensaron mal.
They were instructed by me, and I strengthened their arms; and they devised evils against me.
16 Tornáronse, mas no al Altísimo: fueron como arco engañoso: cayeron sus príncipes a cuchillo por la soberbia de su lengua: este será su escarnio en la tierra de Egipto.
They turned aside to that which is not, they became as a bent bow: their princes shall fall by the sword, by reason of the unbridled state of their tongue: this is their setting at nought in the land of Egypt.
