Hosea 4

Oseas 4
|
Give ear to the word of the Lord, O children of Israel; for the Lord has a cause against the people of this land, because there is no good faith in it, and no mercy and no knowledge of God in the land. | OID palabra de Jehová, hijos de Israel, porque Jehová pleitea con los moradores de la tierra; porque no hay verdad, ni misericordia, ni conocimiento de Dios en la tierra. |
There is cursing and broken faith, violent death and attacks on property, men are untrue in married life, houses are broken into, and there is blood touching blood. | Perjurar, y mentir, y matar, y hurtar y adulterar prevalecieron, y sangres se tocaron con sangres. |
Because of this the land will be dry, and everyone living in it will be wasted away, with the beasts of the field and the birds of heaven; even the fishes of the sea will be taken away. | Por lo cual, se enlutará la tierra, y extenuaráse todo morador de ella, con las bestias del campo, y las aves del cielo: y aun los peces de la mar fallecerán. |
Let no man go to law or make protests, for your people are like those who go to law with a priest. | Ciertamente hombre no contienda ni reprenda á hombre, porque tu pueblo es como los que resisten al sacerdote. |
You will not be able to keep on your feet by day, and by night the prophet will be falling down with you, and I will give your mother to destruction. | Caerás por tanto en el día, y caerá también contigo el profeta de noche; y á tu madre talaré. |
Destruction has overtaken my people because they have no knowledge; because you have given up knowledge, I will give you up, so that you will be no priest to me, because you have not kept in mind the law of your God, I will not keep your children in my memory. | Mi pueblo fué talado, porque le faltó sabiduría. Porque tú desechaste la sabiduría, yo te echaré del sacerdocio: y pues que olvidaste la ley de tu Dios, también yo me olvidaré de tus hijos. |
Even while they were increasing in number they were sinning against me; I will let their glory be changed into shame. | Conforme á su grandeza así pecaron contra mí: trocaré su honra en afrenta. |
The sin of my people is like food to them; and their desire is for their wrongdoing. | Comen del pecado de mi pueblo, y en su maldad levantan su alma. |
And the priest will be like the people; I will give them punishment for their evil ways, and the reward of their acts. | Tal será el pueblo como el sacerdote: y visitaré sobre él sus caminos, y pagaréle conforme á sus obras. |
They will have food, but they will not be full; they will be false to me, but they will not be increased, because they no longer give thought to the Lord. | Y comerán, mas no se hartarán; fornicarán, mas no se aumentarán: porque dejaron de atender á Jehová. |
Loose ways and new wine take away wisdom. | Fornicación, y vino, y mosto quitan el corazón. |
My people get knowledge from their tree, and their rod gives them news; for a false spirit is the cause of their wandering, and they have been false to their God. | Mi pueblo á su madero pregunta, y su palo le responde: porque espíritu de fornicaciones lo engañó, y fornicaron debajo de sus dioses. |
They make offerings on the tops of mountains, burning perfumes in high places, under trees of every sort, because their shade is good: and so your daughters are given up to loose ways and your brides are false to their husbands. | Sobre las cabezas de los montes sacrificaron, é incensaron sobre los collados, debajo de encinas, y álamos, y olmos que tuviesen buena sombra: por tanto, vuestras hijas fornicarán, y adulterarán vuestras nueras. |
I will not give punishment to your daughters or your brides for their evil behaviour; for they make themselves separate with loose women, and make offerings with those who are used for sex purposes in the worship of the gods: the people who have no wisdom will be sent away. | No visitaré sobre vuestras hijas cuando fornicaren, y sobre vuestras nueras cuando adulteraren: porque ellos ofrecen con las rameras, y con las malas mujeres sacrifican: por tanto, el pueblo sin entendimiento caerá. |
Do not you, O Israel, come into error; do not you, O Judah, come to Gilgal, or go up to Beth-aven, or take an oath, By the living Lord. | Si fornicarés tú, Israel, á lo menos no peque Judá: y no entréis en Gilgal, ni subáis á Beth-aven; ni juréis, Vive Jehová. |
For Israel is uncontrolled, like a cow which may not be controlled; now will the Lord give them food like a lamb in a wide place. | Porque como becerra cerrera se apartó Israel: ¿apacentarálos ahora Jehová como á carneros en anchura? |
Ephraim is joined to false gods; let him be. | Ephraim es dado á ídolos; déjalo. |
Their drink has become bitter; they are completely false; her rulers take pleasure in shame. | Su bebida se corrompió; fornicaron pertinazmente: sus príncipes amaron las dádivas, afrenta de ellos. |
They are folded in the skirts of the wind; they will be shamed because of their offerings. | Atóla el viento en sus alas, y de sus sacrificios serán avergonzados. |
