Oseas 7
Traducción en lenguaje actual
Dios quiere ayudar a su pueblo
7 Dios continuó diciendo:
«Yo quiero salvar a mi pueblo,
pero veo que todos ellos
han cometido grandes pecados.
Todos ellos son mentirosos y ladrones;
entran a robar en las casas
y en plena calle cometen asaltos.
2 Yo los conozco muy bien:
están llenos de maldad,
pero ellos no quieren reconocerlo.
3 Con sus pecados y mentiras
alegran al rey y a sus jefes.
4 No hay uno solo de ellos
que sea fiel en su matrimonio;
se parecen a un horno caliente,
al que no hace falta calentarlo más:
el panadero sólo tiene que esperar
a que fermente la masa.
5 »Cuando el rey celebra alguna fiesta,
los jefes beben hasta emborracharse;
¡y son esos borrachos burlones
a quienes el rey llama sus amigos!
6 Pero ellos se acercan al rey
con la intención de traicionarlo.
No descansan durante la noche,
sino que se la pasan planeando
cómo destruirlo al día siguiente.
7 Son como un horno:
¡arden para quemar por completo
a todos sus gobernantes!
Quitan del trono a sus reyes,
¡pero ninguno de ellos busca mi ayuda!
El pueblo abandona a Dios
8 »Los de Israel han hecho amistad
con gente que no cree en mí.
Mi pueblo se parece al pan mal horneado:
por un lado está bien cocido
y por el otro lado está crudo.
9 Los egipcios y los sirios
están acabando con Israel,
pero Israel ni siquiera se da cuenta.
¡Han acabado con sus fuerzas,
pero tampoco se da cuenta!
10 »Israel no ha querido arrepentirse
ni buscarme a mí, que soy su Dios.
Su orgullo no lo deja hacerlo.
11 »Israel les pide ayuda y apoyo
a las naciones de Egipto y Asiria.
Actúa como una paloma
confundida y sin inteligencia;
12 pero, cuando vaya a buscar ayuda,
lo atraparé como a los pájaros
y lo castigaré por su maldad.
13 »¡Qué mal les va a ir!
¡Se arrepentirán de haberme abandonado!
¡Terribles cosas vendrán sobre ellos
porque se han rebelado contra mí!
Yo estoy dispuesto a salvarlos,
pero ellos sólo me dicen mentiras.
14 En sus camas lloran de dolor,
y se hacen heridas a propósito,
pero sus oraciones no son sinceras;
lo hacen para pedirme buenas cosechas,
pero siguen siendo rebeldes.
15 »Yo les he dado enseñanzas,
los he llenado de fuerza,
pero ellos hacen planes contra mí.
16 No me toman en cuenta,
y por eso fracasan en todo.
Sus jefes se creen muy valientes,
pero morirán en el campo de batalla
y los egipcios se burlarán de ellos.
Hosea 7
New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised
Hosea 7
New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised
7 1 when I would heal Israel,
the corruption of Ephraim is revealed,
and the wicked deeds of Samaria;
for they deal falsely,
the thief breaks in,
and the bandits raid outside.
2 But they do not consider
that I remember all their wickedness.
Now their deeds surround them,
they are before my face.
3 By their wickedness they make the king glad,
and the officials by their treachery.
4 They are all adulterers;
they are like a heated oven,
whose baker does not need to stir the fire,
from the kneading of the dough until it is leavened.
5 On the day of our king the officials
became sick with the heat of wine;
he stretched out his hand with mockers.
6 For they are kindled[a] like an oven, their heart burns within them;
all night their anger smoulders;
in the morning it blazes like a flaming fire.
7 All of them are hot as an oven,
and they devour their rulers.
All their kings have fallen;
none of them calls upon me.
8 Ephraim mixes himself with the peoples;
Ephraim is a cake not turned.
9 Foreigners devour his strength,
but he does not know it;
grey hairs are sprinkled upon him,
but he does not know it.
10 Israel’s pride testifies against[b] him;
yet they do not return to the Lord their God,
or seek him, for all this.
Futile Reliance on the Nations
11 Ephraim has become like a dove,
silly and without sense;
they call upon Egypt, they go to Assyria.
12 As they go, I will cast my net over them;
I will bring them down like birds of the air;
I will discipline them according to the report made to their assembly.[c]
13 Woe to them, for they have strayed from me!
Destruction to them, for they have rebelled against me!
I would redeem them,
but they speak lies against me.
14 They do not cry to me from the heart,
but they wail upon their beds;
they gash themselves for grain and wine;
they rebel against me.
15 It was I who trained and strengthened their arms,
yet they plot evil against me.
16 They turn to that which does not profit;[d]
they have become like a defective bow;
their officials shall fall by the sword
because of the rage of their tongue.
So much for their babbling in the land of Egypt.

Hosea 7
New International Version
7 1 whenever I would heal Israel,
the sins of Ephraim are exposed
and the crimes of Samaria revealed.(A)
They practice deceit,(B)
thieves break into houses,(C)
bandits rob in the streets;(D)
2 but they do not realize
that I remember(E) all their evil deeds.(F)
Their sins engulf them;(G)
they are always before me.
3 “They delight the king with their wickedness,
the princes with their lies.(H)
4 They are all adulterers,(I)
burning like an oven
whose fire the baker need not stir
from the kneading of the dough till it rises.
5 On the day of the festival of our king
the princes become inflamed with wine,(J)
and he joins hands with the mockers.(K)
6 Their hearts are like an oven;(L)
they approach him with intrigue.
Their passion smolders all night;
in the morning it blazes like a flaming fire.
7 All of them are hot as an oven;
they devour their rulers.
All their kings fall,(M)
and none of them calls(N) on me.
8 “Ephraim mixes(O) with the nations;
Ephraim is a flat loaf not turned over.
9 Foreigners sap his strength,(P)
but he does not realize it.
His hair is sprinkled with gray,
but he does not notice.
10 Israel’s arrogance testifies against him,(Q)
but despite all this
he does not return(R) to the Lord his God
or search(S) for him.
11 “Ephraim is like a dove,(T)
easily deceived and senseless—
now calling to Egypt,(U)
now turning to Assyria.(V)
12 When they go, I will throw my net(W) over them;
I will pull them down like the birds in the sky.
When I hear them flocking together,
I will catch them.
13 Woe(X) to them,
because they have strayed(Y) from me!
Destruction to them,
because they have rebelled against me!
I long to redeem them
but they speak about me(Z) falsely.(AA)
14 They do not cry out to me from their hearts(AB)
but wail on their beds.
They slash themselves,[a] appealing to their gods
for grain and new wine,(AC)
but they turn away from me.(AD)
15 I trained(AE) them and strengthened their arms,
but they plot evil(AF) against me.
16 They do not turn to the Most High;(AG)
they are like a faulty bow.(AH)
Their leaders will fall by the sword
because of their insolent(AI) words.
For this they will be ridiculed(AJ)
in the land of Egypt.(AK)
