PDT God's Word for You (Latin American Textual Bible)

WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)

1 Oigan la Palabra de Yavé, oh hijos de Israel. Porque Yavé contiende con los habitantes de la tierra, porque no hay verdad ni compasión ni conocimiento de ʼElohim en la tierra,

1 Hear Yahweh’s word, you children of Israel, for Yahweh has a charge against the inhabitants of the land: “Indeed there is no truth, nor goodness, nor knowledge of God in the land.

2 Sino propagan el juramento falso y la mentira, el asesinato, el robo y el adulterio prevalecen. Uno tras otro suceden los homicidios.

2 There is cursing, lying, murder, stealing, and committing adultery; they break boundaries, and bloodshed causes bloodshed.

3 Por eso la tierra tendrá luto, y todos los que la habitan desfallecerán juntamente con las bestias del campo y las aves del cielo. También los peces del mar perecerán.

3 Therefore the land will mourn, and everyone who dwells in it will waste away, with all living things in her, even the animals of the field and the birds of the sky; yes, the fish of the sea also die.

4 Pero nadie acuse ni reprenda a otro, porque, oh sacerdote, mi contienda es contigo.

4 “Yet let no man bring a charge, neither let any man accuse; for your people are like those who bring charges against a priest.

5 Por tanto, tropezarás de día y el profeta tropezará contigo de noche.

5 You will stumble in the day, and the prophet will also stumble with you in the night; and I will destroy your mother.

6 Porque mi pueblo perece por falta de conocimiento. Porque desechaste el conocimiento, Yo te echaré del sacerdocio. Porque olvidaste la Ley de tu ʼElohim, también Yo me olvidaré de tus hijos,

6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. Because you have rejected knowledge, I will also reject you, that you may be no priest to me. Because you have forgotten your God’s law, I will also forget your children.

7 Que cuanto más se multiplican, más pecan contra Mí. Cambiaré su resplandor en vergüenza.

7 As they were multiplied, so they sinned against me. I will change their glory into shame.

8 Se alimentan con las ofrendas por el pecado de mi pueblo, y a su iniquidad elevan su anhelo.

8 They feed on the sin of my people, and set their heart on their iniquity.

9 Como es el pueblo así es el sacerdote. Los castigaré por sus caminos y les pagaré según sus obras.

9 It will be like people, like priest; and I will punish them for their ways, and will repay them for their deeds.

10 Comerán y no se saciarán, fornicarán y no se multiplicarán, porque abandonaron a Yavé.

10 They will eat, and not have enough. They will play the prostitute, and will not increase; because they have abandoned listening to Yahweh.

11 Fornicación, vino y mosto quitan el entendimiento.

11 Prostitution, wine, and new wine take away understanding.

12 Mi pueblo consulta al leño, y el palo le responde. Porque un espíritu de prostitución lo extravió, y se prostituyeron contra su ʼElohim.

12 My people consult with their wooden idol, and answer to a stick of wood. Indeed the spirit of prostitution has led them astray, and they have been unfaithful to their God.

13 Sobre las cumbres de las montañas ofrecen sacrificios y queman incienso sobre las colinas debajo del roble, del álamo y del olmo, porque su sombra es agradable. Por eso sus hijas fornican y sus nueras cometen adulterio.

13 They sacrifice on the tops of the mountains, and burn incense on the hills, under oaks, poplars, and terebinths, because its shade is good. Therefore your daughters play the prostitute, and your brides commit adultery.

14 Yo no castigaré a sus hijas cuando se prostituyan, ni a sus nueras cuando adulteren, porque los hombres se van con las prostitutas y con las prostitutas sagradas ofrecen sacrificios. El pueblo sin entendimiento se arruina.

14 I will not punish your daughters when they play the prostitute, nor your brides when they commit adultery; because the men consort with prostitutes, and they sacrifice with the shrine prostitutes; so the people without understanding will come to ruin.

15 Aunque tú, Israel te prostituyas, que Judá no sea culpable. Tampoco vaya a Gilgal, ni suba a Bet-avén, ni jure al decir: ¡Vive Yavé!

15 “Though you, Israel, play the prostitute, yet don’t let Judah offend; and don’t come to Gilgal, neither go up to Beth Aven, nor swear, ‘As Yahweh lives.’

16 Puesto que Israel es terco como novilla indómita, ¿Yavé lo pastoreará como cordero en el campo?

16 For Israel has behaved extremely stubbornly, like a stubborn heifer. Then how will Yahweh feed them like a lamb in a meadow?

17 Efraín se apegó a los ídolos. ¡Déjalo!

17 Ephraim is joined to idols. Leave him alone!

18 Su embriaguez es rebelión. Ciertamente cometen prostitución, y sus gobernantes aman mucho el deshonor.

18 Their drink has become sour. They play the prostitute continually. Her rulers dearly love their shameful way.

19 El viento los ató en sus alas, y serán avergonzados a causa de sus sacrificios.

19 The wind has wrapped her up in its wings; and they shall be disappointed because of their sacrifices.

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 4:5 Augustine of Hippo, Expositions on the Psalms (Psalm CXIX)
… it:" and "let us walk honestly as in the day." "For all things serve Thee." He said all things of some: "all" which belong to this day "serve Thee." For the ungodly of whom it is said, "I have compared thy mother unto the night," do not serve Thee.

Quotes verse 4:12 Cyril of Jerusalem, Catechetical Lectures (Lecture XVI)
But sin also is called spirit, as I have already said; only in another and opposite sense, as when it is said, The spirit of whoredom caused them to err.
