Oseas 7
1 ESTANDO yo curando á Israel, descubrióse la iniquidad de Ephraim, y las maldades de Samaria; porque obraron engaño: y viene el ladrón, y el salteador despoja de fuera.
When I would heal Israel, then the iniquity of Ephraim is uncovered, and the wickedness of Samaria. For they commit falsehood, and the thief enters in, and the troop of robbers ravages outside.
2 Y no dicen en su corazón que tengo en la memoria toda su maldad: ahora los rodearán sus obras; delante de mí están.
And they do not consider in their hearts that I remember all their wickedness. Now their own doings have surrounded them; they are before my face.
3 Con su maldad alegran al rey, y á los príncipes con sus mentiras.
They make the king glad with their wickedness, and the rulers with their lies.
4 Todos ellos adúlteros; son como horno encendido por el hornero, [el cual] cesará de avivar después que esté hecha la masa, hasta que esté leuda.
They are all adulterers. They are as an oven heated by the baker. He ceases to stir the fire, from the kneading of the dough, until it is leavened.
5 El día de nuestro rey los príncipes lo hicieron enfermar con vasos de vino: extendió su mano con los escarnecedores.
On the day of our king the rulers made themselves sick with the heat of wine. He stretched out his hand with scoffers.
6 Porque aplicaron su corazón, semejante á un horno, á sus artificios: toda la noche duerme su hornero; á la mañana está encendido como llama de fuego.
For they have made their heart ready like an oven, while they lie in wait. Their baker sleeps all the night. In the morning it burns as a flaming fire.
7 Todos ellos arden como un horno, y devoraron á sus jueces: cayeron todos sus reyes: no hay entre ellos quien á mí clame.
They are all hot as an oven, and devour their judges. All their kings are fallen. There is none among those who call to me.
8 Ephraim se envolvió con los pueblos; Ephraim fué torta no vuelta.
Ephraim, he mixes himself among the peoples. 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 does not know. Yea, gray hairs are here and there upon him, and he does not know.
10 Y la soberbia de Israel testificará contra él en su cara: y no se tornaron á Jehová su Dios, ni lo buscaron con todo esto.
And the pride of Israel testifies to his face. Yet they have not returned to Jehovah their God, nor sought him for all this.
11 Y fué Ephraim como paloma incauta, sin entendimiento: llamarán á Egipto, acudirán al Asirio.
And Ephraim is like a silly dove, without understanding. They call to Egypt. They go to Assyria.
12 Cuando fueren, extenderé sobre ellos mi red, hacerlos he caer como aves del cielo; castigarélos conforme á lo que se ha oído en sus congregaciones.
When they shall go, I will spread my net upon them. I will bring them down as the birds of the heavens. I will chastise them, as their congregation has heard.
13 ¡Ay de ellos! porque se apartaron de mí: destrucción sobre ellos, porque contra mí se rebelaron; yo los redimí, y ellos hablaron contra mí mentiras.
Woe to them! For they have wandered from me. Destruction to them! For they have trespassed against me. Though I would redeem them, yet they have spoken lies against me.
14 Y no clamaron á mí con su corazón cuando aullaron sobre sus camas, para el trigo y el mosto se congregaron, rebeláronse contra mí.
And they have not cried to me with their heart, but they howl upon their beds. They assemble themselves for grain and new wine. They rebel against me.
15 Y yo [los] ceñí, esforcé sus brazos, y contra mí pensaron mal.
Though I have taught and strengthened their arms, yet they devise mischief against me.
16 Tornáronse, mas no al Altísimo: fueron como arco engañoso: cayeron sus príncipes á cuchillo por la soberbia de su lengua: éste será su escarnio en la tierra de Egipto.
They return, but not to him on high. They are like a deceitful bow. Their rulers shall fall by the sword for the rage of their tongue. This shall be their derision in the land of Egypt.
