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.
Set the trumpet to thy mouth. He shall come as an eagle against the house of the LORD, because they have transgressed my covenant, and trespassed against my law.
2 A mí clamarán Israel: Dios mío, te conocimos.
Israel shall cry to me, My God, we know thee.
3 Desamparó Israel el bien: enemigo le perseguirá.
Israel hath cast off the thing that is good: the enemy shall pursue him.
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 set up kings, but not by me: they have made princes, and I knew it not: of their silver and their gold have they made for themselves idols, that they may be cut off.
5 Tu becerro, o! Samaria, te hizo alejar: mi enojo se encendió contra ellos, hasta que no pudieron alcanzar inocencia.
Thy calf, O Samaria, hath cast thee off; my anger is kindled against them: how long will it be ere they attain to innocency?
6 Porque de Israel es, y artífice lo hizo, que no es Dios; porque en pedazos será deshecho el becerro de Samaria.
For from Israel was it also: the workman made it; therefore it is not God: but the calf of Samaria shall be broken in pieces.
7 Porque sembraron viento, y torbellino segarán: no tendrán mies, ni el fruto hará harina: si la hiciere, extraños la tragarán.
For they have sown the wind, and they shall reap the whirlwind: it hath no stalk: the bud shall yield no meal: if it shall yield, the strangers shall swallow it up.
8 Será tragado Israel: presto serán tenidos entre las gentes como vaso en que no hay contentamiento.
Israel is swallowed up: now shall they be among the Gentiles as a vessel in which is no pleasure.
9 Porque ellos subieron a Asur, asno montés para sí solo: Efraím con salario alquiló armadores.
For they have gone up to Assyria, a wild donkey alone by himself: Ephraim hath hired lovers.
10 Aunque alquilen a las naciones, ahora las juntaré; y serán un poco afligidos por la carga del rey, y de los príncipes.
Yea, though they have hired among the nations, now will I gather them, and they shall sorrow a little for the burden of the king of princes.
11 Porque multiplicó Efraím altares para pecar, tuvo altares para pecar.
Because Ephraim hath made many altars to sin, altars shall be to him to sin.
12 Escribíle las grandezas de mi ley, fueron tenidas por cosas ajenas.
I have written to him the great things of my law, but they were counted as a strange thing.
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.
They sacrifice flesh for the sacrifices of my offerings, and eat it; but the LORD accepteth them not; now will he remember their iniquity, and judge their sins: they shall return to Egypt.
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.
For Israel hath forgotten his Maker, and buildeth temples; and Judah hath multiplied fortified cities: but I will send a fire upon his cities, and it shall devour his palaces.
