Oseas 7

BIBLIA	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
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.	1 When I was willing to heal Israel, the iniquity of Ephraim was discovered, and the malice of Samaria, for they had been manufacturing lies. And the thief steals from inside, the robber from outside.
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.	2 And, so that they may not say in their hearts that I am the one who has called to mind all of their wickedness: now their own inventions have encircled them. These things have happened in my presence.
3 Con su maldad recrean al rey, con sus mentiras a los príncipes.	3 The king has rejoiced at their wickedness, and the leaders have rejoiced in their lies.
4 Todos ellos, adúlteros, son como un horno ardiente, que el panadero deja de atizar desde que amasa la pasta hasta que fermenta.	4 They are all adulterers; like an oven heating up before baking, the city rested a little before the leaven was mixed in, until the whole was leavened.
5 En el día de nuestro rey los príncipes enferman por el ardor del vino, ¡y aquél tiende la mano a chocarreros!	5 On the day of our king, the leaders began to be mad with wine; he extended his hand with those who fabricate illusions.
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.	6 For they have used their heart like an oven, while he laid snares for them; he slept through the night baking them, and by morning he himself was heated like a burning fire.
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.	7 They have all become hot like an oven, and they have devoured their judges. All their kings have fallen. There is no one who calls to me among them.
8 Efraím se mezcla con los pueblos, Efraím es una torta a la que no se ha dado vuelta.	8 Ephraim himself has been mingled with the nations. Ephraim has become like bread, baked under ashes, that has not been turned over.
9 Extranjeros devoran su fuerza, ¡y él no lo sabe! Ya las canas blanquean en él, ¡y él no lo sabe!	9 Strangers have devoured his strength, and he did not know it. And grey hairs also have spread across him, and he is ignorant of it.
10 El orgullo de Israel testifica contra él, pero no se vuelven a Yahveh su Dios, con todo esto, no le buscan.	10 And the pride of Israel will be brought low before his face, for they have not returned to the Lord their God, nor have they sought him in all of this.
11 Efraím es cual ingenua paloma, sin cordura; llaman a Egipto, acuden a Asiria.	11 And Ephraim has become like a pigeon that has been led astray, not having a heart; for they called upon Egypt, they went to the Assyrians.
12 Dondequiera que vayan, yo echaré mi red sobre ellos, como ave del cielo los haré caer y los visitaré por su maldad.	12 And when they will set out, I will spread my net over them. I will pull them down like the birds of the sky; I will cut them down in accordance with the reports of their meetings.
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.	13 Woe to them, for they have withdrawn from me. They will waste away because they have been dishonest with me. And I redeemed them, and they have spoken lies against 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.	14 And they have not cried out to me in their heart, but they howled on their beds. They have obsessed about wheat and wine; they have withdrawn from me.
15 Yo fortalecí su brazo, ¡y ellos contra mí maquinan el mal!	15 And I have educated them, and I have reinforced their arms; and they have imagined evil against me.
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!	16 They returned so that they might be without a yoke. They have become like a deceitful bow. Their leaders will fall by the sword because of the madness of their words. This is their derision in the land of Egypt.
