Oseas 12

Ephraim feedeth on wind, and followeth after the east wind: he continually multiplieth lies and desolation; and they make a covenant with Assyria, and oil is carried into Egypt. | (12-2) Ephraim se apacienta del viento, y sigue al solano: mentira y destrucción aumenta continuamente; porque hicieron alianza con los Asirios, y aceite se lleva á Egipto. |
Jehovah hath also a controversy with Judah, and will punish Jacob according to his ways; according to his doings will he recompense him. | (12-3) Pleito tiene Jehová con Judá para visitar á Jacob conforme á sus caminos: pagarále conforme á sus obras. |
In the womb he took his brother by the heel; and in his manhood he had power with God: | (12-4) En el vientre tomó por el calcañar á su hermano, y con su fortaleza venció al ángel. |
yea, he had power over the angel, and prevailed; he wept, and made supplication unto him: he found him at Beth-el, and there he spake with us, | (12-5) Venció al ángel, y prevaleció; lloró, y rogóle: en Beth-el le halló, y allí habló con nosotros. |
even Jehovah, the God of hosts; Jehovah is his memorial [name]. | (12-6) Mas Jehová es Dios de los ejércitos: Jehová es su memorial. |
Therefore turn thou to thy God: keep kindness and justice, and wait for thy God continually. | (12-7) Tú pues, conviértete á tu Dios: guarda misericordia y juicio, y en tu Dios espera siempre. |
[He is] a trafficker, the balances of deceit are in his hand: he loveth to oppress. | (12-8) Es mercader que tiene en su mano peso falso, amador de opresión. |
And Ephraim said, Surely I am become rich, I have found me wealth: in all my labors they shall find in me no iniquity that were sin. | (12-9) Y dijo Ephraim: Ciertamente yo he enriquecido, hallado he riquezas para mí: nadie hallará en mí iniquidad, ni pecado en todos mis trabajos. |
But I am Jehovah thy God from the land of Egypt; I will yet again make thee to dwell in tents, as in the days of the solemn feast. | (12-10) Empero yo soy Jehová tu Dios desde la tierra de Egipto: aun te haré morar en tiendas, como en los días de la fiesta. |
I have also spoken unto the prophets, and I have multiplied visions; and by the ministry of the prophets have I used similitudes. | (12-11) Y hablado he á los profetas, y yo aumenté la profecía, y por mano de los profetas puse semejanzas. |
Is Gilead iniquity? they are altogether false; in Gilgal they sacrifice bullocks; yea, their altars are as heaps in the furrows of the field. | (12-12) ¿Es Galaad iniquidad? Ciertamente vanidad han sido; en Gilgal sacrificaron bueyes: y aún son sus altares como montones en los surcos del campo. |
And Jacob fled into the field of Aram, and Israel served for a wife, and for a wife he kept [sheep]. | (12-13) Mas Jacob huyó á tierra de Aram, y sirvió Israel por mujer, y por mujer fué pastor. |
And by a prophet Jehovah brought Israel up out of Egypt, and by a prophet was he preserved. | (12-14) Y por profeta hizo subir Jehová á Israel de Egipto, y por profeta fué guardado. |
Ephraim hath provoked to anger most bitterly: therefore shall his blood be left upon him, and his reproach shall his Lord return unto him. | (12-15) Enojado ha Ephraim á Dios con amarguras; por tanto, sus sangres se derramarán sobre él, y su Señor le pagará su oprobio. |
