WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
1 Ese día los israelitas dirán: «¡Vengan, volvamos al Señor! Él es quien nos ha desgarrado, y él será quien nos sane.
1 VENID y volvámonos á Jehová: que él arrebató, y nos curará; hirió, y nos vendará.
1 “Come! Let’s return to Yahweh; for he has torn us to pieces, and he will heal us; he has injured us, and he will bind up our wounds.
2 En tan sólo dos o tres días nos sanará por completo y entonces podremos vivir siempre bajo su protección. ¡No vacilemos en buscar al Señor!
2 Darános vida después de dos días: al tercer día nos resucitará, y viviremos delante de él.
2 After two days he will revive us. On the third day he will raise us up, and we will live before him.
3 ¡No nos cansemos de ir en busca del Señor! Si lo hacemos, podemos estar seguros de que él vendrá a nuestro encuentro. Eso es tan seguro como el hecho de que el sol alumbra cada día. Eso será así, tan seguro como el hecho de que la lluvia cae en el tiempo oportuno y riega la tierra».
3 Y conoceremos, y proseguiremos en conocer á Jehová: como el alba está aparejada su salida, y vendrá á nosotros como la lluvia, como la lluvia tardía [y] temprana á la tierra.
3 Let’s acknowledge Yahweh. Let’s press on to know Yahweh. As surely as the sun rises, Yahweh will appear. He will come to us like the rain, like the spring rain that waters the earth.”
4 El Señor dice: «Efraín y Judá, ¿qué haré con ustedes? Pues su amor hacia mí es tan inconstante, se desvanece tan pronto, como lo hacen las nubes de la mañana y como desaparece como el rocío.
4 ¿Qué haré á ti, Ephraim? ¿Qué haré á ti, oh Judá? La piedad vuestra es como la nube de la mañana, y como el rocío que de madrugada viene.
4 “Ephraim, what shall I do to you? Judah, what shall I do to you? For your love is like a morning cloud, and like the dew that disappears early.
5 Yo envié a mis profetas para advertirles del destino funesto que les espera; yo los he herido con la dureza de las palabras que les he enviado, incluso amenazándolos de muerte. Sepan que de repente, sin advertencia alguna, mi juicio realmente los matará como si fuera un rayo fulminante.
5 Por esta causa corté con los profetas, con las palabras de mi boca los maté; y tus juicios serán [como] luz que sale.
5 Therefore I have cut them to pieces with the prophets; I killed them with the words of my mouth. Your judgments are like a flash of lightning.
6 Lo que más quiero de ustedes no son sus sacrificios rituales, sino que amen a Dios y a su prójimo; lo que más quiero de ustedes no son sus ofrendas, sino que me reconozcan y respeten como su Dios.
6 Porque misericordia quise, y no sacrificio; y conocimiento de Dios más que holocaustos.
6 For I desire mercy, and not sacrifice; and the knowledge of God more than burnt offerings.
7 Pero como Adán, han desobedecido mi convenio, han despreciado mi amor.
7 Mas ellos, cual Adam, traspasaron el pacto: allí prevaricaron contra mí.
7 But they, like Adam, have broken the covenant. They were unfaithful to me there.
8 »Galaad es una ciudad de gente malvada, las huellas de la violencia están por todas partes.
8 Galaad, ciudad de obradores de iniquidad, ensuciada de sangre.
8 Gilead is a city of those who work iniquity; it is stained with blood.
9 Sus sacerdotes son como bandas de ladrones, que se esconden para sorprender y caer sobre sus víctimas; en el camino que lleva a Siquén cometen toda clase de maldades.
9 Y como ladrones que esperan á [algún] hombre, así junta de sacerdotes mancomunadamente mata en el camino: porque ponen en efecto la abominación.
9 As gangs of robbers wait to ambush a man, so the company of priests murder on the path toward Shechem, committing shameful crimes.
10 »Sí, yo he visto una cosa horrible en Israel: Efraín me ha sido infiel y se ha ido tras la idolatría; Israel se ha corrompido por completo.
10 En la casa de Israel he visto suciedad: allí fornicó Ephraim, se contaminó Israel:
10 In the house of Israel I have seen a horrible thing. There is prostitution in Ephraim. Israel is defiled.
11 »También para ti, Judá, tengo preparado tu castigo, cuando haya hecho que mi pueblo regrese a su tierra.
11 También Judá puso en ti [una] planta, habiendo yo vuelto la cautividad de mi pueblo.
11 “Also, Judah, there is a harvest appointed for you, when I restore the fortunes of my people.

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).
As God, when teaching them His will in Hosea the prophet, said, "I desire mercy rather than sacrifice, and the knowledge of God more than burnt-offerings." Besides, our Lord also exhorted them to the same effect, when He said, "But if ye had known what [this] meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice, ye would not have condemned the …
In the epistle entitled "To the Hebrews" it is said, "To do good and to communicate, forget not: for with such sacrifices God is well pleased." And so, when it is written, "I desire mercy rather than sacrifice," nothing else is meant than that one sacrifice is preferred to another; for that which in common speech is called sacrifice is …

This, for example, was His complaint against certain Jews, when He said, "My mercy is as a morning cloud, and as the early dew it goeth away." And His meaning is like this; "I indeed have supplied all my part, but ye, as a hot sun coming over scatters both the cloud and the dew, and makes them vanish, so …

And in the person of these the Prophet Osee says plainly, After two days will He revive us, and in the third day we shall rise again, and shall live in His sight.

… according to the flesh." This prophet has also foretold the resurrection of Christ on the third day, as it behoved to be foretold, with prophetic loftiness, when he says, "He will heal us after two days, and in the third day we shall rise again." In agreement with this the apostle says to us, "If ye be risen with Christ, …
