Oseas 8
La Palabra (España)
Idolatría de Israel
8 ¡Haz sonar la trompeta
pues un águila se cierne
sobre la casa del Señor!
Porque han transgredido mi alianza
y se rebelaron contra mi instrucción.
2 Ellos vienen a mí gritando:
“¡Los de Israel te reconocemos como Dios!”.
3 Pero Israel ha rechazado el bien
y el enemigo lo perseguirá.
4 Han creado reyes sin contar conmigo,
han nombrado príncipes sin saberlo yo.
Con su plata y con su oro
se han fabricado ídolos
que causaron su ruina.
5 Me repugna tu becerro, Samaría;
por eso mi cólera ha estallado contra ellos.
¿Hasta cuándo permanecerán impuros?
6 Ese becerro de Samaría
es obra de un artesano israelita;
no es, por consiguiente, Dios
y terminará hecho pedazos.
7 Puesto que siembran viento,
cosecharán tempestad.
Tampoco tendrán mies
ni dará harina la espiga;
y si la da, extranjeros la devorarán.
8 Israel ha sido devorado;
ahora está entre la naciones
como un cacharro inútil.
9 Cuando acudieron a Asiria,
Efraín se compró amantes,
como asno salvaje desbocado.
10 Han sobornado a las naciones,
pero ahora yo los reuniré
y muy pronto temblarán
bajo la opresión del rey soberano.
11 Efraín pecó en muchos altares,
que sólo para pecar le sirvieron.
12 Aunque les haya prescrito mil leyes,
consideran que vienen de un extraño.
13 No cesan de ofrecer sacrificios,
de sacrificar y comer la carne;
pero el Señor no los acepta,
sino que recuerda sus pecados
y castigará sus iniquidades;
tendrán, pues, que volver a Egipto.
14 Olvidó Israel a su Creador
y se ha construido palacios.
También Judá ha multiplicado
sus ciudades fortificadas,
pero yo enviaré a esas ciudades
un fuego que devorará sus baluartes.
Hosea 8
King James Version
8 Set the trumpet to thy mouth. He shall come as an eagle against the house of the Lord, because they have transgressed my covenant, and trespassed against my law.
2 Israel shall cry unto me, My God, we know thee.
3 Israel hath cast off the thing that is good: the enemy shall pursue him.
4 They have set up kings, but not by me: they have made princes, and I knew it not: of their silver and their gold have they made them idols, that they may be cut off.
5 Thy calf, O Samaria, hath cast thee off; mine anger is kindled against them: how long will it be ere they attain to innocency?
6 For from Israel was it also: the workman made it; therefore it is not God: but the calf of Samaria shall be broken in pieces.
7 For they have sown the wind, and they shall reap the whirlwind: it hath no stalk; the bud shall yield no meal: if so be it yield, the strangers shall swallow it up.
8 Israel is swallowed up: now shall they be among the Gentiles as a vessel wherein is no pleasure.
9 For they are gone up to Assyria, a wild ass alone by himself: Ephraim hath hired lovers.
10 Yea, though they have hired among the nations, now will I gather them, and they shall sorrow a little for the burden of the king of princes.
11 Because Ephraim hath made many altars to sin, altars shall be unto him to sin.
12 I have written to him the great things of my law, but they were counted as a strange thing.
13 They sacrifice flesh for the sacrifices of mine offerings, and eat it; but the Lord accepteth them not; now will he remember their iniquity, and visit their sins: they shall return to Egypt.
14 For Israel hath forgotten his Maker, and buildeth temples; and Judah hath multiplied fenced cities: but I will send a fire upon his cities, and it shall devour the palaces thereof.
Hosea 8
English Standard Version
Israel Will Reap the Whirlwind
8 Set (A)the trumpet to your lips!
One (B)like a vulture is over the house of the Lord,
because (C)they have transgressed my covenant
and rebelled against my law.
2 To me they cry,
(D)“My God, we—Israel—know you.”
3 Israel has spurned the good;
the enemy shall pursue him.
4 (E)They made kings, (F)but not through me.
They set up princes, but I knew it not.
With their silver and gold they made idols
for their own destruction.
5 (G)I have[a] spurned your calf, O Samaria.
My anger burns against them.
(H)How long will they be incapable of innocence?
6 For it is from Israel;
a craftsman made it;
it is not God.
(I)The calf of Samaria
(J)shall be broken to pieces.[b]
7 For (K)they sow the wind,
and they shall reap the whirlwind.
The standing grain has no heads;
it shall yield no flour;
if it were to yield,
(L)strangers would devour it.
8 (M)Israel is swallowed up;
already they are among the nations
as (N)a useless vessel.
9 For (O)they have gone up to Assyria,
(P)a wild donkey wandering alone;
Ephraim has hired lovers.
10 Though they hire allies among the nations,
I will soon gather them up.
And (Q)the king and princes (R)shall soon writhe
because of the tribute.
11 Because Ephraim (S)has multiplied altars for sinning,
they have become to him altars for sinning.
12 (T)Were I to write for him my laws by the ten thousands,
they would be regarded as a strange thing.
13 As for my sacrificial offerings,
(U)they sacrifice meat and eat it,
but the Lord does not accept them.
(V)Now he will remember their iniquity
and punish their sins;
(W)they shall return to Egypt.
14 For (X)Israel has forgotten (Y)his Maker
and (Z)built palaces,
and (AA)Judah has multiplied fortified cities;
so (AB)I will send a fire upon his cities,
and it shall devour her strongholds.
