Oseas 14
Nueva Biblia de las Américas
Conversión y perdón de Israel
14 [a]Vuelve, oh Israel, al Señor tu Dios(A),
Pues has tropezado a causa de tu iniquidad(B).
2 Tomen con ustedes palabras, y vuélvanse al Señor.
Díganle: «Quita toda iniquidad(C),
Y acéptanos bondadosamente,
Para que podamos presentar el fruto de nuestros labios(D).
3 -»Asiria no nos salvará,
No montaremos a caballo(E),
Y nunca más diremos: “Dios nuestro(F)”
A la obra de nuestras manos(G),
Pues en Ti el huérfano halla misericordia(H)».
4 ¶Yo sanaré su apostasía(I),
Los amaré generosamente(J),
Pues Mi ira se ha apartado de ellos(K).
5 Seré como rocío para Israel(L);
Florecerá como lirio(M),
Y extenderá sus raíces como los cedros del Líbano(N).
6 Brotarán sus renuevos,
Y será su esplendor como el del olivo(O),
Y su fragancia como la de los cedros del Líbano(P).
7 Los que moran a su sombra(Q),
Cultivarán de nuevo el trigo(R)
Y florecerán como la vid.
Su fama será como la del vino del Líbano.
8 ¶Efraín, ¿qué tengo Yo que ver ya con los ídolos(S)?
Yo respondo y te cuido.
Yo soy como un frondoso ciprés(T);
De Mí procede tu fruto(U).
9 ¶Quien es sabio, que entienda estas cosas(V);
Quien es prudente, que las comprenda.
Porque rectos son los caminos del Señor(W),
Y los justos andarán por ellos(X);
Pero los transgresores tropezarán en ellos(Y).

Israel’s Future Blessing
14 [a](A)Return, Israel, to the Lord your God,
For you have stumbled [b]because of your (B)wrongdoing.
2 Take words with you and return to the Lord.
Say to Him, “(C)Take away all guilt
And [c]receive us graciously,
So that we may (D)present [d]the fruit of our lips.
3 Assyria will not save us,
We will (E)not ride on horses;
Nor will we say again, ‘(F)Our god’
To the (G)work of our hands;
For in (H)You the [e]orphan finds mercy.”
4 I will (I)heal their apostasy,
I will (J)love them freely,
Because My anger has (K)turned away from them.
5 I will be like the (L)dew to Israel;
He will blossom like the (M)lily,
And he will [f]take root like the cedars of (N)Lebanon.
6 His shoots will [g]sprout,
His [h]majesty will be like the (O)olive tree,
And his fragrance like the cedars of (P)Lebanon.
7 Those who (Q)live in his shadow
Will [i]again raise (R)grain,
And they will blossom like the vine.
His fame will be like the wine of Lebanon.
8 Ephraim, what more have I to do with (S)idols?
It is I who answer and look after [j]you.
I am like a luxuriant (T)juniper;
From (U)Me [k]comes your fruit.
9 (V)Whoever is wise, let him understand these things;
Whoever is discerning, let him know them.
For the (W)ways of the Lord are right,
And the (X)righteous will walk in them,
But (Y)wrongdoers will stumble in them.

Repentance to Bring Blessing
14 [a]Return,(A) Israel, to the Lord your God.
Your sins(B) have been your downfall!(C)
2 Take words with you
and return to the Lord.
Say to him:
“Forgive(D) all our sins
and receive us graciously,(E)
that we may offer the fruit of our lips.[b](F)
3 Assyria cannot save us;(G)

8 Ephraim, what more have I[c] to do with idols?(Z)
I will answer him and care for him.
I am like a flourishing juniper;(AA)
your fruitfulness comes from me.”
