EL LIBRO DEL PUEBLO DE DIOSCATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 Cuando Israel era niño, yo lo amé, y de Egipto llamé a mi hijo.1 Just as the morning passes, so has the king of Israel passed by. For Israel was a child and I loved him; and out of Egypt I called my son.
2 Pero cuanto más los llamaba, más se alejaban de mí; ofrecían sacrificios a los Baales y quemaban incienso a los ídolos.2 They called them, and so they departed before their face. They offered victims to the Baals, and they sacrificed to graven images.
3 ¡Y yo había enseñado a caminar a Efraím, lo tomaba por los brazos! Pero ellos no reconocieron que yo los cuidaba.3 And I was like a foster father to Ephraim. I carried them in my arms. And they did not know that I healed them.
4 Yo los atraía con lazos humanos, con ataduras de amor; era para ellos como los que alzan a una criatura contra sus mejillas, me inclinaba hacia él y le daba de comer.4 I will draw them with the cords of Adam, with the bands of love. And I will be to them like one who raises the yoke over their jaws. And I will reach down to him so that he may eat.
5 Efraím volverá a Egipto y Asiria será su rey, porque rehusaron volver a mí.5 He will not return to the land of Egypt, but Assur himself will be the king over him, because they were not willing to be converted.
6 La espada hará estragos en sus ciudades, destrozará los barrotes de sus puertas y los devorará a causa de sus intrigas.6 The sword has begun in his cities, and it will consume his elect and devour their heads.
7 Mi pueblo está aferrado a su apostasía: se los llama hacia lo alto, pero ni uno solo se levanta.7 And my people will long for my return. But a yoke will be imposed on them together, which will not be taken away.
8 ¿Cómo voy a abandonarte, Efraím? ¿Cómo voy a entregarte, Israel? ¿Cómo voy a tratarte como a Admá o a dejarte igual que Seboím? Mi corazón se subleva contra mí y se enciende toda mi ternura:8 How will I provide for you, Ephraim; how will I protect you, Israel? How will I provide for you as for Adam; will I set you like Zeboiim? My heart has changed within me; together with my regret, it has been stirred up.
9 no daré libre curso al ardor de mi ira, no destruiré otra vez a Efraím. Porque yo soy Dios, no un hombre: soy el Santo en medio de ti, y no vendré con furor.9 I will not act on the fury of my wrath. I will not turn back to utterly destroy Ephraim. For I am God, and not man, the Divine in your midst, and I will not advance upon the city.
10 Ellos irán detrás del Señor ; él rugirá como un león, y cuando se ponga a rugir, sus hijos vendrán temblando del Occidente.10 They will walk after the Lord; he will roar like a lion. For he himself will roar, and the sons of the sea will dread.
11 Vendrán temblando desde Egipto como un pájaro, y como una paloma, desde el país de Asiria; y yo los haré habitar en sus casas –oráculo del Señor–.11 And they will fly like a bird out of Egypt, and like a dove from the land of the Assyrians. And I will arrange them in their own houses, says the Lord.
12 Ephraim has besieged me with denials, and the house of Israel with deceit. But Judah went down as a witness before God and the holy ones of faith.
