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 would have healed Israel, then the iniquity of Ephraim was discovered, and the wickedness of Samaria: for they commit falsehood; and the thief comes in, and the troop of robbers spoils without.
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.
And they consider not in their hearts that I remember all their wickedness: now their own doings have beset them about; they are before my face.
3 Con su maldad alegran al rey, y a los príncipes con sus mentiras.
They make the king glad with their wickedness, and the 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 heated by the baker, who ceases from raising after he has kneaded the dough, until it be leavened.
5 El día de nuestro rey los príncipes le hicieron enfermar con cuero de vino: extendió su mano con los burladores.
In the day of our king the princes have made him sick with bottles of wine; he stretched out his hand with scorners.
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.
For they have made ready their heart like an oven, whiles they lie in wait: their baker sleeps all the night; in the morning it burns as a flaming 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 hot as an oven, and have devoured their judges; all their kings are fallen: there is none among them that calls to me.
8 Efraím se envolvió con los pueblos: Efraím fue torta no vuelta.
Ephraim, he has mixed himself among the people; Ephraim is 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 have devoured his strength, and he knows it not: yes, gray hairs are here and there on him, yet he knows 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 testifies to his face: and they do not return to the LORD their God, nor seek him for all this.
11 Y fue Efraím como paloma, engañada sin entendimiento: llamarán a Egipto, irán al Asur.
Ephraim also is like a silly dove without heart: they call to Egypt, they go to Assyria.
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.
When they shall go, I will spread my net on them; I will bring them down as the fowls of the heaven; I will chastise them, as their congregation has heard.
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 fled from me: destruction to them! because they have transgressed against me: though I have redeemed them, yet they have spoken lies 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 they have not cried to me with their heart, when they howled on their beds: they assemble themselves for corn and wine, and they rebel against me.
15 Y yo los ceñí, esforcé sus brazos, y contra mí pensaron mal.
Though I have bound and strengthened their arms, yet do they imagine mischief 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 return, but not to the most High: they are like a deceitful bow: their princes shall fall by the sword for the rage of their tongue: this shall be their derision in the land of Egypt.
