Oseas 8
1 Pon a tu boca trompeta, como águila, contra la casa de Jehová, porque traspasaron mi concierto, y contra mi ley se rebelaron.
[He shall come] into their midst as the land, as an eagle against the house of the Lord, because they have transgressed my covenant, and have sinned against my law.
2 A mí clamarán Israel: Dios mío, te conocimos.
They shall soon cry out to me, [saying], O God, we know you.
3 Desamparó Israel el bien: enemigo le perseguirá.
For Israel has turned away from good things; they have pursued an enemy.
4 Ellos hicieron reinar, mas no por mí: constituyeron príncipe, mas yo no lo supe: de su plata, y de su oro hicieron ídolos para sí, para ser talados.
They have made kings for themselves, but not by me: they have ruled, but they did not make it known to me: [of] their silver and their gold they have made images to themselves, that they might be destroyed.
5 Tu becerro, o! Samaria, te hizo alejar: mi enojo se encendió contra ellos, hasta que no pudieron alcanzar inocencia.
Cast off your calf, O Samaria; mine anger is kindled against them: how long will they be unable to purge themselves in Israel?
6 Porque de Israel es, y artífice lo hizo, que no es Dios; porque en pedazos será deshecho el becerro de Samaria.
Whereas the workman made it, and it is not God; therefore your calf, Samaria, was a deceiver:
7 Porque sembraron viento, y torbellino segarán: no tendrán mies, ni el fruto hará harina: si la hiciere, extraños la tragarán.
for they sowed blighted [seed], and their destruction shall await them, a sheaf of corn that avails not to make meal; and even if it should produce it, strangers shall devour it.
8 Será tragado Israel: presto serán tenidos entre las gentes como vaso en que no hay contentamiento.
Israel is swallowed up: now is he become among the nations as a worthless vessel.
9 Porque ellos subieron a Asur, asno montés para sí solo: Efraím con salario alquiló armadores.
For they have gone up to the Assyrians: Ephraim has been strengthened against himself; they loved gifts.
10 Aunque alquilen a las naciones, ahora las juntaré; y serán un poco afligidos por la carga del rey, y de los príncipes.
Therefore shall they be delivered to the nations: now I will receive them, and they shall cease a little to anoint a king and princes.
11 Porque multiplicó Efraím altares para pecar, tuvo altares para pecar.
Because Ephraim has multiplied altars, [his] beloved altars are become sins to him.
12 Escribíle las grandezas de mi ley, fueron tenidas por cosas ajenas.
I will write down a multitude [of commands] for him; but his statutes are accounted strange things, [even] the beloved altars.
13 Los sacrificios de mis dones, sacrificaron carne, y comieron, Jehová no los quiso: ahora se acordará de su iniquidad, y visitará su pecado: ellos tornarán a Egipto.
For if they should offer a sacrifice, and eat flesh, the lord will not accept them: now will he remember their iniquities, and will take vengeance on their sins: they have returned to Egypt, and they shall eat unclean things among the Assyrians.
14 Olvidó pues Israel a su Hacedor, y edificó templos, y Judá multiplicó ciudades fuertes: y yo meteré fuego en sus ciudades, el cual devorará sus palacios.
And Israel has forgotten him that made him, and they have built fanes, and Juda has multiplied walled cities: but I will send fire on his cities, and it shall devour their foundations.
