1 Oh hijos de Israel, escuchen la palabra que Yavé habla contra ustedes, contra toda la familia que saqué de la tierra de Egipto:
1 Hear this word that Yahweh has spoken against you, children of Israel, against the whole family which I brought up out of the land of Egypt, saying:
2 Entre todas las familias de la tierra, solo los conocí a ustedes. Por tanto, los castigaré por todas sus iniquidades.
2 “I have chosen only you of all the families of the earth. Therefore I will punish you for all of your sins.”
3 ¿Andarán dos juntos si no están de acuerdo?
3 Do two walk together, unless they have agreed?
4 ¿Rugirá el león en el bosque si no tiene presa? ¿Rugirá el leoncillo en su guarida si no apresó?
4 Will a lion roar in the thicket, when he has no prey? Does a young lion cry out of his den, if he has caught nothing?
5 ¿Caerá el pájaro al suelo si no hay trampa? ¿Saltará la trampa del suelo sin no atrapó?
5 Can a bird fall in a trap on the earth, where no snare is set for him? Does a snare spring up from the ground, when there is nothing to catch?
6 ¿Se tocará la trompeta en la ciudad sin alborotar al pueblo? ¿Sucederá alguna calamidad en la ciudad si Yavé no la envía?
6 Does the trumpet alarm sound in a city, without the people being afraid? Does evil happen to a city, and Yahweh hasn’t done it?
7 Ciertamente ʼAdonay Yavé nada hace sin revelar su secreto a sus esclavos profetas.
7 Surely the Lord Yahweh will do nothing, unless he reveals his secret to his servants the prophets.
8 Si el león ruge, ¿quién no temerá? Si ʼAdonay Yavé habla, ¿quién no profetizará?
8 The lion has roared. Who will not fear? The Lord Yahweh has spoken. Who can but prophesy?
9 Proclamen en los palacios de Asdod, digan en los palacios de la tierra de Egipto: Reúnanse en las montañas de Samaria, vean las numerosas opresiones en medio de ella.
9 Proclaim in the palaces at Ashdod, and in the palaces in the land of Egypt, and say, “Assemble yourselves on the mountains of Samaria, and see what unrest is in her, and what oppression is among them.”
10 No saben hacer lo recto, dice Yavé, atesoran en sus palacios violencia y devastación.
10 “Indeed they don’t know to do right,” says Yahweh, “Who hoard plunder and loot in their palaces.”
11 Por tanto, ʼAdonay Yavé dice: Un enemigo que rodea la tierra derribará tu fuerza y saqueará tus palacios.
11 Therefore the Lord Yahweh says: “An adversary will overrun the land; and he will pull down your strongholds, and your fortresses will be plundered.”
12 Yavé dice: Como el pastor rescata de la boca del león un par de patas o la punta de una oreja, así los hijos de Israel que viven en Samaria serán rescatados: Con la esquina de una cama y con el cobertor de un sofá.
12 Yahweh says: “As the shepherd rescues out of the mouth of the lion two legs, or a piece of an ear, so shall the children of Israel be rescued who sit in Samaria on the corner of a couch, and on the silken cushions of a bed.”
13 Escuchen y testifiquen contra la casa de Jacob, dice ʼAdonay Yavé, el ʼElohim de las huestes.
13 “Listen, and testify against the house of Jacob,” says the Lord Yahweh, the God of Armies.
14 Porque el día cuando Yo castigue las transgresiones de Israel, también castigaré los altares de Bet-ʼEl. Los cuernos del altar serán arrancados y caerán a tierra.
14 “For in the day that I visit the transgressions of Israel on him, I will also visit the altars of Bethel; and the horns of the altar will be cut off, and fall to the ground.
15 También destruiré la casa de invierno y la casa de verano, perecerán los palacios de marfil y las grandes edificaciones desaparecerán, dice Yavé.
15 I will strike the winter house with the summer house; and the houses of ivory will perish, and the great houses will have an end,” says Yahweh.

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).
But now at all events mark the beasts which are unquestionably of savage kind. "The lion roareth, who doth not fear?" And yet wherein is it that thou dost find thyself to be stronger than he?

Nay, even when He says that God creates evil things, and that there is no evil in a city that the Lord hath not done, he does not mean by these words that the Lord is the cause of evil, but the word evil ' is used in two ways, with two meanings.
