1 Cuando Efraín pronunciaba las palabras de mi ley, era honrado en Israel. Pero cuando pecó por medio de Baal, lo alcanzó la muerte.
1 When Ephraim spoke, there was trembling. He exalted himself in Israel, but when he became guilty through Baal, he died.
2 Ahora sus pecados aumentan. Se han hecho una imagen de metal y dioses falsos de su plata, según sus propios diseños, todos hechos por artesanos. Dicen de ellos: «Que les presenten ofrendas y que los hombres besen a los becerros».
2 Now they sin more and more, and have made themselves molten images of their silver, even idols according to their own understanding, all of them the work of the craftsmen. They say of them, ‘They offer human sacrifice and kiss the calves.’
3 Por eso serán como una nube de la mañana, como el rocío que desaparece temprano, como el polvo del grano que el viento se lleva de la era, como el humo que sube del fogón.
3 Therefore they will be like the morning mist, like the dew that passes away early, like the chaff that is driven with the whirlwind out of the threshing floor, and like the smoke out of the chimney.
4 Pero yo soy el Señor tu Dios desde la tierra de Egipto. No conoces a otro Dios y no hay otro salvador que yo.
4 “Yet I am Yahweh your God from the land of Egypt; and you shall acknowledge no god but me, and besides me there is no savior.
5 Te conocí en el desierto, donde no había agua.
5 I knew you in the wilderness, in the land of great drought.
6 Cuando les di alimento, quedaron satisfechos. Su corazón se llenó de orgullo y se olvidaron de mí.
6 According to their pasture, so were they filled; they were filled, and their heart was exalted. Therefore they have forgotten me.
7 Por eso seré como un león para ellos; los acecharé junto al camino como un animal feroz.
7 Therefore I am like a lion to them. Like a leopard, I will lurk by the path.
8 Me enfrentaré a ellos como una osa a la que le han quitado sus crías; les desgarraré lo más profundo del corazón. Allí los perros los devorarán, y los animales del campo los herirán.
8 I will meet them like a bear that is bereaved of her cubs, and will tear the covering of their heart. There I will devour them like a lioness. The wild animal will tear them.
9 Yo te he destruido, Israel. ¿Quién podrá ayudarte?
9 You are destroyed, Israel, because you are against me, against your helper.
10 ¿Dónde está tu rey, para que te salve? ¿Dónde están todos tus gobernantes, para que defiendan tu causa? Tú dijiste: «Dame un rey y gobernantes».
10 Where is your king now, that he may save you in all your cities? And your judges, of whom you said, ‘Give me a king and princes’?
11 Te di un rey porque estaba enojado, y te lo quité en mi ira.
11 I have given you a king in my anger, and have taken him away in my wrath.
12 La maldad de Efraín está encerrada; su pecado está guardado en secreto.
12 The guilt of Ephraim is stored up. His sin is stored up.
13 Le vendrán dolores como los de una mujer de parto. Es un hijo sin sabiduría, porque, llegado el momento de nacer, no debe quedarse dentro del vientre.
13 The sorrows of a travailing woman will come on him. He is an unwise son, for when it is time, he doesn’t come to the opening of the womb.
14 Pagaré el precio para librarlos del poder del lugar de los muertos; los salvaré de la muerte. ¡Muerte! ¿Dónde están tus dolores? ¡Lugar de los muertos! ¿Dónde está tu destrucción? No tendré compasión.
14 I will ransom them from the power of Sheol. I will redeem them from death! Death, where are your plagues? Sheol, where is your destruction? “Compassion will be hidden from my eyes.
15 Aunque dé fruto entre sus hermanos, vendrá un viento del este, el viento del Señor que sube del desierto. Su manantial se secará y su fuente quedará sin agua. El viento destruirá su tesoro de vasijas preciosas.
15 Though he is fruitful among his brothers, an east wind will come, the breath of Yahweh coming up from the wilderness; and his spring will become dry, and his fountain will be dried up. He will plunder the storehouse of treasure.
16 Samaria será destruida porque se ha rebelado contra su Dios. Morirán por la espada, sus niños pequeños serán estrellados contra las rocas y a sus mujeres embarazadas les abrirán el vientre.
16 Samaria will bear her guilt, for she has rebelled against her God. They will fall by the sword. Their infants will be dashed in pieces, and their pregnant women will be ripped open.”

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
And He went down of His own accord, that death might cast up those whom he had devoured, according to that which is written, I will ransom them from the power of the grave; and from the hand of death I will redeem them.
