Oseas 8
Nueva Versión Internacional (Castilian)
Siembran vientos y cosechan tempestades
8 »¡Da el toque de trompeta!
¡Un águila se cierne sobre la casa del Señor!
Han quebrantado mi pacto
y se han rebelado contra mi ley,
2 y ahora vienen a suplicarme:
“¡Dios de Israel, te conocemos!”
3 Pero Israel ha rechazado el bien,
así que un enemigo lo perseguirá.
4 Establecen reyes que yo no apruebo,
y escogen autoridades que no conozco.
Con su plata y con su oro se hacen imágenes
para su propia destrucción.
5 Samaria, ¡arroja el becerro
que tienes por ídolo!
Contra vosotros se ha encendido mi ira.
¿Hasta cuándo estaréis sin purificaros?
6 Oye, Israel: Ese becerro no es Dios;
es obra de un escultor.
Ese becerro de Samaria
será hecho pedazos.
7 »Sembraron vientos
y cosecharán tempestades.
El tallo no tiene espiga
y no producirá harina;
si acaso llegara a producirla,
se la tragarían los extranjeros.
8 Pues a Israel se lo han tragado,
y hoy es de poca estima entre las naciones.
9 Los israelitas subieron a Asiria;
se apartaron como terco asno salvaje,
y Efraín se ha comprado amantes.
10 Pero, aunque se los compre entre las naciones,
de allí volveré a reunirlos;
y comenzarán a retorcerse
bajo la opresión de un rey poderoso.
11 »Efraín edificó muchos altares
para expiar sus pecados,
pero estos se han convertido
en altares para pecar.
12 Yo podría escribirles mi ley muchas veces,
pero ellos la verían como algo extraño.
13 Me han ofrecido sacrificios y ofrendas,
y se han comido la carne,
pero eso a mí no me agrada.
Voy ahora a tener en cuenta sus perversidades,
y castigaré sus pecados;
¡y tendrán que regresar a Egipto!
14 Israel se olvidó de su Hacedor y se edificó palacios;
Judá multiplicó las ciudades amuralladas;
pero yo lanzaré sobre sus ciudades y fortalezas
un fuego que las consuma».
Hosea 8
Names of God Bible
The Lord Will Punish Israel for Its Rebellion
8 “Sound the alarm on the ram’s horn.
The enemy swoops down on Yahweh’s temple like an eagle.
The people of Israel have rejected my promise
and rebelled against my teachings.
2 They cry out to me, ‘We acknowledge you as our Elohim.’
3 However, they have rejected what is good.
The enemy will persecute them.
4 “They chose their own kings, kings I didn’t approve.
They chose their own princes, princes I didn’t know.
They chose to make idols with their own silver and gold.
Because of this, they will be destroyed.
5 Get rid of your calf-shaped idol, Samaria.
My anger burns against these people.
How long will they remain unclean?[a]
6 Samaria’s calf-shaped idol was made in Israel.
Skilled workers made it.
It is not a god.
It will be smashed to pieces.
7 “The people of Israel plant the wind, but they harvest a storm.
A field of grain that doesn’t ripen will never produce any grain.
Even if it did produce grain, foreigners would eat it all.
8 Israel will be swallowed up.
It has already mixed in with the other nations.
It has become worthless.
9 “The people of Israel went to Assyria.
They were like wild donkeys wandering off alone.
The people of Ephraim sold themselves to their lovers.
10 Even though they sold themselves among the nations,
I will gather them now.
They will suffer for a while under the burdens of kings and princes.
11 “The more altars that the people of Ephraim build
to make offerings to pay for their sins,
the more places they have for sinning.
12 I have written many things for them in my teachings,
but they consider these things strange and foreign.
13 They offer sacrifices to me and eat the meat of sacrifices,
but I, Yahweh, do not accept these sacrifices.
Now I will remember their wickedness
and punish them because of their sins.
They will go back to Egypt.
14 The people of Israel have built palaces,
and they have forgotten their maker.
The people of Judah have built many fortified cities.
I will send a fire on their cities and burn down their palaces.”
