WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
1 Put the horn to your mouth. He comes like an eagle against the house of the Lord; because they have gone against my agreement, they have not kept my law.
1 PON á tu boca trompeta. [Vendrá] como águila contra la casa de Jehová, porque traspasaron mi pacto, y se rebelaron contra mi ley.
1 “Put the trumpet to your lips! Something like an eagle is over Yahweh’s house, because they have broken my covenant and rebelled against my law.
2 They will send up to me a cry for help: We, Israel, have knowledge of you, O God of Israel.
2 A mí clamará Israel: Dios mío, te hemos conocido.
2 They cry to me, ‘My God, we, Israel, acknowledge you!’
3 Israel has given up what is good; his haters will go after him.
3 Israel desamparó el bien: enemigo lo perseguirá.
3 Israel has cast off that which is good. The enemy will pursue him.
4 They have put up kings, but not by me; they have made princes, but I had no knowledge of it; they have made images of silver and gold, so that they may be cut off.
4 Ellos hicieron reyes, mas no por mí; constituyeron príncipes, mas yo no lo supe: de su plata y de su oro hicieron ídolos para sí, para ser talados.
4 They have set up kings, but not by me. They have made princes, and I didn’t approve. Of their silver and their gold they have made themselves idols, that they may be cut off.
5 I will have nothing to do with your young ox, O Samaria; my wrath is burning against them; how long will it be before the children of Israel make themselves clean?
5 Tu becerro, oh Samaria, te hizo alejar; encendióse mi enojo contra ellos, hasta que no pudieron alcanzar inocencia.
5 Let Samaria throw out his calf idol! My anger burns against them! How long will it be until they are capable of purity?
6 The workman made it, it is no god; the ox of Samaria will be broken into bits.
6 Porque de Israel es, y artífice lo hizo; que no es Dios: por lo que en pedazos será deshecho el becerro de Samaria.
6 For this is even from Israel! The workman made it, and it is no God; indeed, the calf of Samaria shall be broken in pieces.
7 For they have been planting the wind, and their fruit will be the storm; his grain has no stem, it will give no meal, and if it does, a strange nation will take it.
7 Porque sembraron viento, y torbellino segarán: no tendrán mies, ni el fruto hará harina; si la hiciere, extraños la tragarán.
7 For they sow the wind, and they will reap the whirlwind. He has no standing grain. The stalk will yield no head. If it does yield, strangers will swallow it up.
8 Israel has come to destruction; now they are among the nations like a cup in which there is no pleasure.
8 Será tragado Israel: presto serán entre las gentes como vaso en que no hay contentamiento.
8 Israel is swallowed up. Now they are among the nations like a worthless thing.
9 For they have gone up to Assyria like an ass going by himself; Ephraim has given money to get lovers.
9 Porque ellos subieron á Assur, asno montés para sí solo: Ephraim con salario alquiló amantes.
9 For they have gone up to Assyria, like a wild donkey wandering alone. Ephraim has hired lovers for himself.
10 But though they give money to the nations for help, still I will send them in all directions; and in a short time they will be without a king and rulers.
10 Aunque alquilen á las gentes, ahora las juntaré; y serán un poco afligidos por la carga del rey y de los príncipes.
10 But although they sold themselves among the nations, I will now gather them; and they begin to waste away because of the oppression of the king of mighty ones.
11 Because Ephraim has been increasing altars for sin, altars have become a cause of sin to him.
11 Porque multiplicó Ephraim altares para pecar, tuvo altares para pecar.
11 Because Ephraim has multiplied altars for sinning, they became for him altars for sinning.
12 Though I put my law in writing for him in ten thousand rules, they are to him as a strange thing.
12 Escribíle las grandezas de mi ley, [y] fueron tenidas por cosas ajenas.
12 I wrote for him the many things of my law, but they were regarded as a strange thing.
13 He gives the offerings of his lovers, and takes the flesh for food; but the Lord has no pleasure in them; now he will keep in mind their evil-doing and give them the punishment of their sins; they will go back to Egypt.
13 En los sacrificios de mis dones sacrificaron carne, y comieron: no los quiso Jehová: ahora se acordará de su iniquidad, y visitará su pecado; ellos se tornarán á Egipto.
13 As for the sacrifices of my offerings, they sacrifice meat and eat it, but Yahweh doesn’t accept them. Now he will remember their iniquity, and punish their sins. They will return to Egypt.
14 For Israel has no memory of his Maker, and has put up the houses of kings; and Judah has made great the number of his walled towns. But I will send a fire on his towns and put an end to his great houses.
14 Olvidó pues Israel á su Hacedor, y edificó templos, y Judá multiplicó ciudades fuertes: mas yo meteré fuego en sus ciudades, el cual devorará sus palacios.
14 For Israel has forgotten his Maker and built palaces; and Judah has multiplied fortified cities; but I will send a fire on his cities, and it will devour its fortresses.”
