Hosea 7

DOUAI-RHEIMS	BIBLIA
1 When I would have healed Israel, the iniquity of Ephraim was discovered, and the wickedness of Samaria, for they have committed falsehood, and the thief is come in to steal, the robber is without.	1 Cuando yo quiero sanar a Israel, se descubre la culpa de Efraím y las maldades de Samaria; porque practican la mentira, y mientras el ladrón entra dentro se despliega la pandilla afuera.
2 And lest they may say in their hearts, that I remember all their wickedness: their own devices now have beset them about, they have been done before my face.	2 Y no se dicen en su corazón que yo me acuerdo de toda su maldad. Ahora les envuelven sus obras, ante mi rostro están.
3 They have made the king glad with their wickedness: and the princes with their lies.	3 Con su maldad recrean al rey, con sus mentiras a los príncipes.
4 They are all adulterers, like an oven heated by the baker: the city rested a little from the mingling of the leaven, till the whole was leavened.	4 Todos ellos, adúlteros, son como un horno ardiente, que el panadero deja de atizar desde que amasa la pasta hasta que fermenta.
5 The day of our king, the princes began to be mad with wine: he stretched out his hand with scorners.	5 En el día de nuestro rey los príncipes enferman por el ardor del vino, ¡y aquél tiende la mano a chocarreros!
6 Because they have applied their heart like an oven, when he laid snares for them: he slept all the night baking them, in the morning he himself was heated as a flaming fire.	6 Cuando acechan, su corazón es como un horno en sus intrigas: toda la noche duerme el panadero, y a la mañana él quema con fuego llameante.
7 They were all heated like an oven, and have devoured their judges : all their kings have fallen: there is none amongst them that calleth unto me.	7 Todos están calientes como un horno, y devoran a sus propios jueces. Todos sus reyes han caído, y ninguno entre ellos clama a mí.
8 Ephraim himself is mixed among the nations: Ephraim is become as bread baked under the ashes, that is not turned.	8 Efraím se mezcla con los pueblos, Efraím es una torta a la que no se ha dado vuelta.
9 Strangers have devoured his strength, and he knew it not: yea, grey hairs also are spread about upon him, and he is ignorant of it.	9 Extranjeros devoran su fuerza, ¡y él no lo sabe! Ya las canas blanquean en él, ¡y él no lo sabe!
10 And the pride of Israel shall be humbled before his face: and they have not returned to the Lord their God, nor have they sought him in all these.	10 El orgullo de Israel testifica contra él, pero no se vuelven a Yahveh su Dios, con todo esto, no le buscan.
11 And Ephraim is become as a dove that is decoyed, not having a heart: they called upon Egypt, they went to the Assyrians.	11 Efraím es cual ingenua paloma, sin cordura; llaman a Egipto, acuden a Asiria.
12 And when they shall go, I will spread my net upon them: I will bring them down as the fowl of the air, I will strike them as their congregation hath heard.	12 Dondequiera que vayan, yo echaré mi red sobre ellos, como ave del cielo los haré caer y los visitaré por su maldad.
13 Woe to them, for they have departed from me: they shall be wasted because they have transgressed against me: and I redeemed them : and they have spoken lies against me.	13 ¡Ay de ellos, que de mí se han alejado! ¡Ruina sobre ellos por haberse rebelado contra mí! Yo los rescataría, pero ellos dicen contra mí mentiras.
14 And they have not cried to me with their heart, but they howled in their beds: they have thought upon wheat and wine, they are departed from me.	14 Y no claman a mí de corazón cuando gimen en sus lechos; por el trigo y el mosto se hacen incisiones se rebelan contra mí.
15 And I have chastised them, and strengthened their arms: and they have imagined evil against me.	15 Yo fortalecí su brazo, ¡y ellos contra mí maquinan el mal!
16 They returned, that they might be without yoke: they became like a deceitful bow: their princes shall fall by the sword, for the rage of their tongue. This is their derision in the land of Egypt.	16 Se vuelven a lo que no es nada, son como un arco engañoso. Caerán a espada sus príncipes, por la iracundia de su lengua: ¡tal será su escarnio en el país de Egipto!
