Oseas 2
La Biblia de las Américas
Infidelidad del pueblo
2 [a]Decid a vuestros hermanos: Ammí[b], y a vuestras hermanas: Ruhamá[c].
2 Contended con vuestra madre(A), contended,
porque ella no es mi mujer(B), y yo no soy su marido;
que quite, pues, de su rostro sus prostituciones(C),
y sus adulterios de entre sus pechos;
3 no sea que yo la desnude completamente(D)
y la deje como el día en que nació(E),
y la ponga como un desierto(F),
la reduzca a tierra seca
y la mate de sed(G).
4 Y no tendré compasión de sus hijos,
porque son hijos de prostitución[d](H),
5 pues su madre se prostituyó;
la que los concibió se deshonró,
porque dijo: «Iré tras mis amantes(I),
que me dan mi pan y mi agua(J),
mi lana y mi lino, mi aceite y mi bebida(K)».
6 Por tanto, he aquí, cercaré su[e] camino(L) con espinos(M),
y levantaré un muro contra ella[f] para que no encuentre sus senderos(N).
7 Y seguirá a sus amantes, pero no los alcanzará(O);
los buscará, pero no los hallará.
Entonces dirá: «Iré y volveré(P) a mi primer marido(Q),
porque mejor me iba entonces que ahora(R)».
8 Pues ella no sabía(S) que era yo el que le daba el trigo, el mosto y el aceite(T),
y le prodigaba la plata y el oro,
que ellos usaban para Baal[g].
9 Por tanto, volveré a tomar mi trigo a su tiempo
y mi mosto a su sazón(U).
También me llevaré mi lana y mi lino
que le di para que cubriera su desnudez.
10 Y ahora descubriré su vergüenza[h](V)
ante los ojos de sus amantes,
y nadie la librará de mi mano.
11 Haré cesar también todo su regocijo(W),
sus fiestas, sus lunas nuevas, sus días de reposo,
y todas sus solemnidades(X).
12 Devastaré sus vides y sus higueras(Y),
de las cuales decía ella: «Son la paga
que mis amantes me han dado».
Y las convertiré en matorral(Z),
y las devorarán las bestias del campo(AA).
13 Y la castigaré por los días de los Baales(AB)
cuando ella les ofrecía sacrificios[i](AC)
y se adornaba con sus zarcillos y joyas(AD),
y se iba tras sus amantes, y se olvidaba de mí(AE) —declara el Señor.
Dios se desposará con su pueblo
14 Por tanto, he aquí, la seduciré,
la llevaré al desierto(AF),
y le hablaré al[j] corazón.
15 Le daré sus viñas desde allí(AG),
y el valle de Acor(AH) por puerta de esperanza.
Y allí cantará[k] como en los días de su juventud(AI),
como en el día en que subió de la tierra de Egipto(AJ).
16 Sucederá en aquel día —declara el Señor—
que me llamarás Ishí[l](AK)
y no me llamarás más Baalí[m].
17 Porque quitaré de su boca los nombres de los Baales,
y nunca más serán mencionados[n] por sus nombres(AL).
18 En aquel día haré también un pacto por ellos
con las bestias del campo(AM),
con las aves del cielo
y con los reptiles de la tierra;
quitaré[o] de la tierra el arco, la espada y la guerra(AN),
y haré que ellos duerman[p] seguros(AO).
19 Te desposaré conmigo para siempre(AP);
sí, te desposaré conmigo en justicia y en derecho,
en misericordia y en compasión(AQ);
20 te desposaré conmigo en fidelidad,
y tú conocerás al Señor(AR).
21 Y sucederá que en aquel día yo responderé —declara el Señor—,
responderé a los cielos, y ellos responderán a la tierra(AS),
22 y la tierra responderá al trigo, al mosto y al aceite(AT),
y ellos responderán a Jezreel.
23 La sembraré para mí en la tierra(AU),
y tendré compasión de la que no recibió compasión[q](AV),
y diré al que no era mi pueblo[r](AW):
Tú eres mi pueblo(AX),
y él dirá: Tú eres mi Dios.

World English Bible
2 “Say to your brothers, ‘My people!’[a]
and to your sisters, ‘My loved one!’[b]
2 Contend with your mother!
Contend, for she is not my wife,
neither am I her husband;
and let her put away her prostitution from her face,
and her adulteries from between her breasts;
3 lest I strip her naked,
and make her bare as in the day that she was born,
and make her like a wilderness,
and set her like a dry land,
and kill her with thirst.
4 Indeed, on her children I will have no mercy,
for they are children of unfaithfulness.
5 For their mother has played the prostitute.
She who conceived them has done shamefully;
for she said, ‘I will go after my lovers,
who give me my bread and my water,
my wool and my flax,
my oil and my drink.’
6 Therefore behold,[c] I will hedge up your way with thorns,
and I will build a wall against her,
that she can’t find her way.
7 She will follow after her lovers,
but she won’t overtake them;
and she will seek them,
but won’t find them.
Then she will say, ‘I will go and return to my first husband,
for then it was better with me than now.’
8 For she didn’t know that I gave her the grain, the new wine, and the oil,
and multiplied to her silver and gold, which they used for Baal.
9 Therefore I will take back my grain in its time,
and my new wine in its season,
and will pluck away my wool and my flax which should have covered her nakedness.
10 Now I will uncover her lewdness in the sight of her lovers,
and no one will deliver her out of my hand.
11 I will also cause all her celebrations to cease:
her feasts, her new moons, her Sabbaths, and all her solemn assemblies.
12 I will lay waste her vines and her fig trees,
about which she has said, ‘These are my wages that my lovers have given me,’
and I will make them a forest,
and the animals of the field shall eat them.
13 I will visit on her the days of the Baals,
to which she burned incense
when she decked herself with her earrings and her jewels,
and went after her lovers
and forgot me,” says Yahweh.
14 “Therefore behold, I will allure her,
and bring her into the wilderness,
and speak tenderly to her.
15 I will give her vineyards from there,
and the valley of Achor for a door of hope;
and she will respond there
as in the days of her youth,
and as in the day when she came up out of the land of Egypt.
16 It will be in that day,” says Yahweh,
“that you will call me ‘my husband,’
and no longer call me ‘my master.’
17 For I will take away the names of the Baals out of her mouth,
and they will no longer be mentioned by name.
18 In that day I will make a covenant for them with the animals of the field,
and with the birds of the sky,
and with the creeping things of the ground.
I will break the bow, the sword, and the battle out of the land,
and will make them lie down safely.
19 I will betroth you to me forever.
Yes, I will betroth you to me in righteousness, in justice, in loving kindness, and in compassion.
20 I will even betroth you to me in faithfulness;
and you shall know Yahweh.
21 It will happen in that day, that I will respond,” says Yahweh.
“I will respond to the heavens,
and they will respond to the earth;
22 and the earth will respond to the grain, and the new wine, and the oil;
and they will respond to Jezreel.
23 I will sow her to me in the earth;
and I will have mercy on her who had not obtained mercy;
and I will tell those who were not my people, ‘You are my people;’
and they will say, ‘You are My God!’”
Hosea 2
King James Version
2 Say ye unto your brethren, Ammi; and to your sisters, Ruhamah.
2 Plead with your mother, plead: for she is not my wife, neither am I her husband: let her therefore put away her whoredoms out of her sight, and her adulteries from between her breasts;
3 Lest I strip her naked, and set her as in the day that she was born, and make her as a wilderness, and set her like a dry land, and slay her with thirst.
4 And I will not have mercy upon her children; for they be the children of whoredoms.
5 For their mother hath played the harlot: she that conceived them hath done shamefully: for she said, I will go after my lovers, that give me my bread and my water, my wool and my flax, mine oil and my drink.
6 Therefore, behold, I will hedge up thy way with thorns, and make a wall, that she shall not find her paths.
7 And she shall follow after her lovers, but she shall not overtake them; and she shall seek them, but shall not find them: then shall she say, I will go and return to my first husband; for then was it better with me than now.
8 For she did not know that I gave her corn, and wine, and oil, and multiplied her silver and gold, which they prepared for Baal.
9 Therefore will I return, and take away my corn in the time thereof, and my wine in the season thereof, and will recover my wool and my flax given to cover her nakedness.
10 And now will I discover her lewdness in the sight of her lovers, and none shall deliver her out of mine hand.
11 I will also cause all her mirth to cease, her feast days, her new moons, and her sabbaths, and all her solemn feasts.
12 And I will destroy her vines and her fig trees, whereof she hath said, These are my rewards that my lovers have given me: and I will make them a forest, and the beasts of the field shall eat them.
13 And I will visit upon her the days of Baalim, wherein she burned incense to them, and she decked herself with her earrings and her jewels, and she went after her lovers, and forgat me, saith the Lord.
14 Therefore, behold, I will allure her, and bring her into the wilderness, and speak comfortably unto her.
15 And I will give her her vineyards from thence, and the valley of Achor for a door of hope: and she shall sing there, as in the days of her youth, and as in the day when she came up out of the land of Egypt.
16 And it shall be at that day, saith the Lord, that thou shalt call me Ishi; and shalt call me no more Baali.
17 For I will take away the names of Baalim out of her mouth, and they shall no more be remembered by their name.
18 And in that day will I make a covenant for them with the beasts of the field and with the fowls of heaven, and with the creeping things of the ground: and I will break the bow and the sword and the battle out of the earth, and will make them to lie down safely.
19 And I will betroth thee unto me for ever; yea, I will betroth thee unto me in righteousness, and in judgment, and in lovingkindness, and in mercies.
20 I will even betroth thee unto me in faithfulness: and thou shalt know the Lord.
21 And it shall come to pass in that day, I will hear, saith the Lord, I will hear the heavens, and they shall hear the earth;
22 And the earth shall hear the corn, and the wine, and the oil; and they shall hear Jezreel.
23 And I will sow her unto me in the earth; and I will have mercy upon her that had not obtained mercy; and I will say to them which were not my people, Thou art my people; and they shall say, Thou art my God.
