Dios Habla Hoy
Israel condenado a causa de la idolatría
8 »Toca tu trompeta,
como centinela que vigila
sobre el pueblo del Señor.
Porque han faltado a mi alianza
y se han rebelado contra mi enseñanza.
2 Mientras tanto, vienen a mí gritando:
“¡Te reconocemos como el Dios de Israel!”
3 Pero Israel ha rechazado lo bueno,
y por eso lo perseguirán sus enemigos.
4 »Sin contar conmigo han establecido reyes,
y han nombrado jefes sin saberlo yo.
Han tomado su plata y su oro
para fabricarse ídolos
y destruirse a sí mismos.
5 ¡Me repugna el becerro que tú, Samaria, adoras!
Mi enojo se ha encendido en contra de él.
¿Cuánto tardarán en quedar limpios 6 los israelitas?
¡Ese becerro de Samaria no es Dios!
Salió de manos de un artesano,
y será hecho pedazos.
7 Ellos sembraron vientos
y cosecharán tempestades;
no tendrán campos que segar,
ni sacarán harina de sus espigas;
y si acaso llegan a sacarla,
los extranjeros se la comerán.
8 ¡Israel ha sido tragado!
Las otras naciones lo miran
como a un objeto sin valor,
9 por haber acudido a Asiria
como un terco asno salvaje.
¡Efraín dio regalos para comprarse amantes!
10 Pero aunque dé regalos entre las naciones,
yo voy ahora a dispersarlos,
y durante un tiempo dejarán de surgir
reyes y jefes.
11 »Porque Efraín construye multitud de altares,
que sólo le sirven para pecar.
12 Aunque yo escribí para él mis muchas enseñanzas,
él las tuvo por cosa extraña.
13 A ellos les gustan los sacrificios, y sacrifican,
y comen la carne de los sacrificios;
pero yo, el Señor, no estoy contento con ellos:
recordaré las maldades que cometieron,
y los castigaré por su pecado
haciéndolos regresar a Egipto.
14 Israel construye palacios,
pero se olvida de su creador.
Judá levanta muchas ciudades fortificadas,
pero yo las haré arder en un fuego
que consumirá sus palacios.»
Hosea 8
King James Version
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.

Infidelidad e idolatría de Israel
8 Pon la trompeta a tu boca(A).
Como un águila viene el enemigo contra la casa del Señor(B),
Porque han transgredido Mi pacto(C),
Y se han rebelado contra Mi ley(D).
2 Claman a Mí(E):
«¡Dios mío, los de Israel te conocemos(F)!».
3 Israel rechazó el bien,
El enemigo lo perseguirá.
4 Ellos han puesto reyes, pero no escogidos por Mí;
Han nombrado príncipes, pero sin saberlo Yo(G).
Con su plata y su oro se han hecho ídolos(H),
Para su propia destrucción.
5 Él ha rechazado tu becerro(I), oh Samaria, diciendo:
«Mi ira se enciende contra ellos».
¿Hasta cuándo serán incapaces de lograr la purificación(J)?
6 Porque de Israel es este también;
Un artífice lo hizo, y él no es Dios(K);
Ciertamente será hecho pedazos el becerro de Samaria.
7 Porque siembran viento(L),
Y recogerán tempestades(M).
El trigo no tiene espigas,
No da grano(N),
Y si lo diera, se lo tragarían los extraños.
8 ¶Israel ha sido devorado(O);
Ahora están entre las naciones
Como vasija en que nadie se deleita(P).
9 Porque Israel ha subido a Asiria(Q)
Como asno montés solitario(R).
Efraín alquiló amantes(S);
10 Aunque alquilen aliados entre las naciones,
Ahora los juntaré(T),
Y comenzarán a debilitarse(U)
A causa de la carga del rey de príncipes(V).
11 ¶Por cuanto Efraín ha multiplicado altares para pecar(W),
En altares para pecar se le han convertido.
12 Aunque le escribí diez mil preceptos de Mi ley(X),
Son considerados como cosa extraña(Y).
13 En cuanto a Mis ofrendas de sacrificio(Z),
Sacrifican la carne y se la comen(AA),
Pero el Señor no se ha complacido en ellas.
Ahora se acordará de su iniquidad(AB),
Y los castigará por sus pecados(AC):
Ellos volverán a Egipto(AD).
14 Pues Israel se ha olvidado de su Hacedor(AE) y ha edificado palacios(AF),
Y Judá ha multiplicado ciudades fortificadas;
Pero Yo enviaré fuego a sus ciudades que consumirá sus fortalezas(AG).

Israel to Reap the Whirlwind
8 “Put the trumpet(A) to your lips!
An eagle(B) is over the house of the Lord
because the people have broken my covenant(C)
and rebelled against my law.(D)
2 Israel cries out to me,
‘Our God, we acknowledge you!’
3 But Israel has rejected what is good;
an enemy will pursue him.(E)
4 They set up kings without my consent;
they choose princes without my approval.(F)
With their silver and gold
they make idols(G) for themselves
to their own destruction.
5 Samaria, throw out your calf-idol!(H)
My anger burns against them.
How long will they be incapable of purity?(I)
6 They are from Israel!
This calf—a metalworker has made it;
it is not God.(J)
It will be broken in pieces,
that calf(K) of Samaria.(L)
7 “They sow the wind
and reap the whirlwind.(M)
The stalk has no head;
it will produce no flour.(N)
Were it to yield grain,
foreigners would swallow it up.(O)
8 Israel is swallowed up;(P)
now she is among the nations
like something no one wants.(Q)
9 For they have gone up to Assyria(R)
like a wild donkey(S) wandering alone.
Ephraim has sold herself to lovers.(T)
10 Although they have sold themselves among the nations,
I will now gather them together.(U)
They will begin to waste away(V)
under the oppression of the mighty king.
11 “Though Ephraim built many altars for sin offerings,
these have become altars for sinning.(W)
12 I wrote for them the many things of my law,
but they regarded them as something foreign.(X)
13 Though they offer sacrifices as gifts to me,
and though they eat(Y) the meat,
the Lord is not pleased with them.(Z)
Now he will remember(AA) their wickedness
and punish their sins:(AB)
They will return to Egypt.(AC)
14 Israel has forgotten(AD) their Maker(AE)
and built palaces;
Judah has fortified many towns.
But I will send fire on their cities
that will consume their fortresses.”(AF)

The Apostasy of Israel
8 “Set the [a]trumpet to your mouth!
He shall come (A)like an eagle against the house of the Lord,
Because they have transgressed My covenant
And rebelled against My law.
2 (B)Israel will cry to Me,
‘My God, (C)we know You!’
3 Israel has rejected the good;
The enemy will pursue him.
4 “They(D) set up kings, but not by Me;
They made princes, but I did not acknowledge them.
From their silver and gold
They made idols for themselves—
That they might be cut off.
5 Your [b]calf [c]is rejected, O Samaria!
My anger is aroused against them—
(E)How long until they attain to innocence?
6 For from Israel is even this:
A (F)workman made it, and it is not God;
But the calf of Samaria shall be broken to pieces.
7 “They(G) sow the wind,
And reap the whirlwind.
The stalk has no bud;
It shall never produce meal.
If it should produce,
(H)Aliens would swallow it up.
8 (I)Israel is swallowed up;
Now they are among the Gentiles
(J)Like a vessel in which is no pleasure.
9 For they have gone up to Assyria,
Like (K)a wild donkey alone by itself;
Ephraim (L)has hired lovers.
10 Yes, though they have hired among the nations,
Now (M)I will gather them;
And they shall [d]sorrow a little,
Because of the [e]burden of (N)the king of princes.
11 “Because Ephraim has made many altars for sin,
They have become for him altars for sinning.
12 I have written for him (O)the great things of My law,
But they were considered a strange thing.
13 For the sacrifices of My offerings (P)they sacrifice flesh and eat it,
(Q)But the Lord does not accept them.
(R)Now He will remember their iniquity and punish their sins.
They shall return to Egypt.
14 “For(S) Israel has forgotten (T)his Maker,
And has built [f]temples;
Judah also has multiplied (U)fortified cities;
But (V)I will send fire upon his cities,
And it shall devour his [g]palaces.”
