Hosea 7

KING JAMES BIBLE	BIBLIA
1 When I would have healed Israel, then the iniquity of Ephraim was discovered, and the wickedness of Samaria: for they commit falsehood; and the thief cometh in, and the troop of robbers spoileth 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 they consider not in their hearts that I remember all their wickedness: now their own doings have beset them about; they are 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 make 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, as an oven heated by the baker, who ceaseth from raising after he hath kneeded the dough, until it be 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 In the day of our king the princes have made him sick with bottles of 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 For they have made ready their heart like an oven, whiles they lie in wait: their baker sleepeth all the night; in the morning it burneth 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 are all hot as an oven, and have devoured their judges; all their kings are fallen: there is none among 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, he hath mixed himself among the people; Ephraim is a cake 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 knoweth it not: yea, gray hairs are here and there upon him, yet he knoweth not.	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 testifieth to his face: and they do not return to the LORD their God, nor seek him for all this.	10 El orgullo de Israel testifica contra él, pero no se vuelven a Yahveh su Dios, con todo esto, no le buscan.
11 Ephraim also is like a silly dove without heart: they call to Egypt, they go to Assyria.	11 Efraím es cual ingenua paloma, sin cordura; llaman a Egipto, acuden a Asiria.
12 When they shall go, I will spread my net upon them; I will bring them down as the fowls of the heaven; I will chastise 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 unto them! for they have fled from me: destruction unto them! because they have transgressed against me: though I have redeemed them, yet 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 unto me with their heart, when they howled upon their beds: they assemble themselves for corn and wine, and they rebel 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.
15 Though I have bound and strengthened their arms, yet do they imagine mischief against me.	15 Yo fortalecí su brazo, ¡y ellos contra mí maquinan el mal!
16 They return, but not to the most High: they are like a deceitful bow: their princes shall fall by the sword for the rage of their tongue: this shall be 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!
