WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
1 Hubo un tiempo cuando Israel hablaba y las naciones temblaban de miedo, pues él era un pueblo poderoso; pero luego se hizo devoto de Baal, y así se acarreó la desgracia y fue destruido.
1 When Ephraim spoke, there was trembling. He exalted himself in Israel, but when he became guilty through Baal, he died.
2 Y ahora el pueblo se vuelve más idólatra y tonto. Funden su plata y con ella los artesanos fabrican ídolos y luego dicen: «¡Ofrezcan sacrificios rituales y besen a estos nuestros dioses! ¡Estos becerros son nuestros dioses!».
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 desaparecerán como la niebla matutina al salir el sol, como el rocío que rápidamente se seca, como la paja llevada por el viento, como una nube de humo.
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 El Señor dice: «Sólo yo soy su Dios, el Señor, y lo he sido desde que los saqué de Egipto. No tienen otro Dios aparte de mí, pues no hay ningún otro Salvador.
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 Yo los cuidé en el desierto, en esa tierra árida y sedienta por donde anduvieron tanto tiempo.
5 I knew you in the wilderness, in the land of great drought.
6 Pero cuando llegaron a la tierra próspera y comieron hasta quedar satisfechos, entonces se volvieron orgullosos 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 vendré sobre ustedes como un león, o como un leopardo que está al acecho en el camino esperando su presa.
7 Therefore I am like a lion to them. Like a leopard, I will lurk by the path.
8 ¡Los desgarraré como lo hace una osa con quien intenta quitarle sus cachorros! ¡Como un león los devoraré, como una bestia salvaje los devoraré!
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 »Israel, si yo te destruyo, ¿quién podrá salvarte?
9 You are destroyed, Israel, because you are against me, against your helper.
10 ¿Dónde está tu rey? ¿Por qué no clamas a él para que te ayude? ¿Dónde están todos los jefes del pueblo? Muchas ganas tenías de tenerlos, ahora pues, ¡que ellos te salven!
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 Yo te di reyes cuando estaba enojado, y luego te los quité cuando estaba furioso.
11 I have given you a king in my anger, and have taken him away in my wrath.
12 »Los actos malvados de Efraín están bien archivados; sus maldades han sido registradas en un libro.
12 The guilt of Ephraim is stored up. His sin is stored up.
13 Se le ofrece la oportunidad de un nuevo inicio, como un nuevo nacimiento, pero es como un niño que se resiste a nacer. ¡Qué testarudo! ¡Cuán necio!
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 »¿Lo rescataré del infierno? ¿Lo libraré de la muerte? Muerte, ¿dónde están tus plagas? Sepulcro, ¿dónde está tu poder destructor? ¡No le tendré más 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 Él fue llamado el más fructífero de todos sus hermanos, pero el viento del este, un viento que el Señor enviará desde el desierto, soplará fuerte sobre él y secará su tierra. Todas sus fuentes de aguas, todos sus manantiales se secarán. Su tierra será arrasada y sus tesoros desaparecerán.
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 debe llevar su culpa, pues se ha rebelado contra su Dios. Su pueblo será arrasado por el ejército invasor, sus bebés serán estrellados contra el suelo y a las 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.
