RV1909 Reina-Valera 1909

1 When Ephraim spoke, they were feared, for they were the leading tribe in Israel. But when they were guilty of Baal worship, they died.

1 CUANDO Ephraim hablaba, hubo temor; fué ensalzado en Israel; mas pecó en Baal, y murió.

2 Now they constantly sin, making for themselves idols from molten metal. All of these idols are skillfully made from silver by their craftsmen. “Offer sacrifices to these idols,” say the people. “Kiss the bull calf idols.”

2 Y ahora añadieron á su pecado, y de su plata se han hecho según su entendimiento, estatuas de fundición, ídolos, toda obra de artífices; acerca de los cuales dicen á los hombres que sacrifican, que besen los becerros.

3 Consequently they will be like the morning mist, like early morning dew, like chaff blowing away from the threshing floor, like smoke from a chimney.

3 Por tanto serán como la niebla de la mañana, y como el rocío de la madrugada que se pasa; como el tamo que la tempestad arroja de la era, y como el humo que de la chimenea sale.

4 Yet I am the Lord your God who brought you out of the land of Egypt. You shall know no other gods but me. None can save you except me.

4 Mas yo soy Jehová tu Dios desde la tierra de Egipto: no conocerás pues Dios fuera de mí, ni otro Salvador sino á mí.

5 I looked after you in the wilderness; in that dry desert land it was like pasture to them

5 Yo te conocí en el desierto, en tierra seca.

6 and they were satisfied. But when they were satisfied they became arrogant, and they forgot me.

6 En sus pastos se hartaron, hartáronse, y ensoberbecióse su corazón: por esta causa se olvidaron de mí.

7 So I will be like a lion to them, like a leopard I will lie in wait beside the path.

7 Por tanto, yo seré para ellos como león; como un leopardo en el camino los espiaré.

8 I will be like a mother bear whose cubs have been taken, I will rip out their hearts. I shall devour them like a lion, like a wild beast I will tear them apart.

8 Como oso que ha perdido los hijos los encontraré, y romperé las telas de su corazón, y allí los devoraré como león: bestia del campo los despedazará.

9 You have destroyed yourselves, Israel, for your only help is in me.

9 Te perdiste, oh Israel, mas en mí [está] tu ayuda.

10 Where then is your king? Let him save you in all your cities! Where are your leaders who demanded a king and princes from me?

10 ¿Dónde está tu rey, para que te guarde con todas tus ciudades? ¿y tus jueces, de los cuales dijiste: Dame rey y príncipes?

11 In my anger I give you a king, and in my fury I take one.

11 Díte rey en mi furor, y quitélo en mi ira.

12 Ephraim's guilt is packed up; their sin will be eradicated.

12 Atada está la maldad de Ephraim; su pecado está guardado.

13 The pain of childbirth has come to them, trying to give birth to a son who is not “wise” because he is not in the right position when the time comes.

13 Dolores de mujer de parto le vendrán: es un hijo ignorante, que [de otra manera] no estuviera tanto tiempo en el rompimiento de los hijos.

14 I shall redeem them from the power of Sheol; I shall deliver them from death. Where, death, are your plagues? Where, Sheol, is your destruction? Compassion is hidden from my sight.

14 De la mano del sepulcro los redimiré, librarélos de la muerte. Oh muerte, yo seré tu muerte; y seré tu destrucción, oh sepulcro; arrepentimiento será escondido de mis ojos.

15 Even though they flourish among the reeds, an east wind will come, a wind from the Lord that rises in the desert will dry up their springs and their wells will fail. It will rob from their treasury everything of value.

15 Aunque él fructificará entre los hermanos, vendrá el solano, viento de Jehová, subiendo de la parte del desierto, y secarse ha su vena, y secaráse su manadero: él saqueará el tesoro de todas las preciosas alhajas.

16 The people of Samaria will have to bear the consequences of their guilt, because they rebelled against their God. They will be slaughtered by the sword; their children will be dashed to the ground; their pregnant women will be ripped open.

16 Samaria será asolada, porque se rebeló contra su Dios: caerán á cuchillo: sus niños serán estrellados, y sus preñadas serán abiertas.

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).

Quotes verse 13:14 Cyril of Jerusalem, Catechetical Lectures (Lecture XIV)
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.
