Biblia Platense (Straubinger) · Catholic Public Domain Version
Oseas 8
1¡A tu boca la trompeta! Cual águila (viene el enemigo) sobre la casa de Yahvé; por cuanto han violado mi alianza y pecado contra mi Ley. Let there be a trumpet in your throat, like an eagle over the house of the Lord, on behalf of those who have transgressed my covenant and violated my law.2Claman a Mí: «¡Dios mío; nosotros, los de Israel, te hemos reconocido!» They will call on me: “O my God, we, Israel, know you.”3lsrael ha desechado el bien; por eso el enemigo le perseguirá. Israel has thrown away goodness; the enemy will overtake him.4Se dieron reyes, pero no por Mí, se constituyeron príncipes, que Yo no conocí; de su plata y de su oro se hicieron ídolos para su propia perdición. They have reigned, but not by me. Leaders have emerged, and I did not recognize them. Their silver and their gold, they have made into idols for themselves, so that they might cross over.5Tu becerro, oh Samaria, me da asco; se ha encendido contra ellos mi ira. ¿Hasta cuándo serán incapaces de purificarse? Your calf, Samaria, has been rejected. My fury has been enraged against them. How long will they be incapable of being cleansed?6Pues ese (becerro) es obra de Israel; lo hizo un artífice, y no es Dios; por eso será hecho pedazos el becerro de Samaria. For it is itself also from Israel: a workman made it, and it is not God. For the calf of Samaria will be used for the webs of spiders.7Porque sembraron viento recogerán torbellino; no tendrán frutos, el trigo no dará harina; y si la diere, se la comerán los extranjeros. For they will sow wind and reap a whirlwind. It does not have a firm stalk; the bud will yield no grain. But if it does yield, strangers will eat it.8Devorado ha sido Israel; está ahora entre las naciones como un vaso inmundo. Israel has been devoured. Now, among the nations, it has become like an unclean vessel.9Pues ellos subieron a Asiria, la cual es como el asno montés que anda solitario. Efraím se compra amantes por medio de regalos. For they have gone up to Assur, a wild ass alone by himself. Ephraim has given presents to his lovers.10Mas aunque den regalos a las naciones, ahora voy a juntarlas (contra ellos), y por algún tiempo temblarán bajo la carga del rey de los príncipes. But even when they will have brought the nations together for the sake of money, now I will assemble them. And they will rest for a little while from the burden of the king and the leaders.11Efraím ha multiplicado los altares para pecar; esos altares han sido el origen de su pecado. For Ephraim multiplied altars to sin, and sanctuaries have become an offense for him.12Yo le prescribí muchas leyes, mas son reputadas como cosa extraña. I will write to him my intricate laws, which have been treated like strangers.13Me presentan sacrificios, pero después de degollar la víctima se la comen ellos mismos. Yahvé no los acepta; ahora mismo se acordará de su iniquidad y castigará su pecado. ¡A Egipto volverán! They will offer victims, they will immolate flesh and will eat, and the Lord will not accept them. For now he will remember their iniquity, and he will repay their sins: they will be turned back to Egypt.14Israel se ha olvidado de su Hacedor, y ha edificado templos; y Judá se ha hecho muchas plazas fuertes. Por eso enviaré fuego a sus ciudades, que devorará sus palacios. And Israel has forgotten his Maker and has built shrines. And Judah has increased its fortified cities. And I will send fire upon his cities, and it will devour its structures.
