1 Pueblo de Israel, escuchen el mensaje que el Señor ha enviado contra ustedes. Todos ustedes, a quienes 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 Elegí tener una relación especial solamente contigo, en medio de todas las familias de la tierra, y por ello los castigaré por su maldad.
2 “I have chosen only you of all the families of the earth. Therefore I will punish you for all of your sins.”
3 ¿Pueden dos caminar juntos sin ponerse de acuerdo para encontrarse?
3 Do two walk together, unless they have agreed?
4 ¿Acaso un León ruge en medio de la selva antes de cazar su presa? ¿Acaso una cría de león gruñe desde su guarida si no ha cazado nada?
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 ¿Acaso un ave cae en una trampa a menos que se calibre el resorte? ¿Acaso la trampa funcionará si no cae un ave en ella?
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 Cuando suena la trompeta en la ciudad, ¿no debería alarmarse el pueblo? Cuando el desastre llega a la ciudad, ¿no es por obra del Señor?
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 Porque el Señor no hace nada sin revelar sus intenciones a sus siervos los profetas.
7 Surely the Lord Yahweh will do nothing, unless he reveals his secret to his servants the prophets.
8 El león ha rugido, ¿quién no temerá? El Señor ha hablado, ¿quién podrá negarse a hablar por él?
8 The lion has roared. Who will not fear? The Lord Yahweh has spoken. Who can but prophesy?
9 Anuncia esto en los castillos de Asdod y en los castillos en la tierra de Egipto: Reúnanse en los montes de Samaria y vean el alboroto y la opresión que hay en el país.
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 Ellos no saben hacer lo recto, declara el Señor. Han guardado en sus castillos lo que han arrebatado con violencia y lo que han robado.
10 “Indeed they don’t know to do right,” says Yahweh, “Who hoard plunder and loot in their palaces.”
11 Por eso, dice el Señor, un enemigo te rodeará, quebrantará tus baluartes, y saqueará tus castillos.
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 Esto es lo que dice el Señor: Como un pastor que trata de rescatar a una oveja de la boca de un león, pero solo salva un par de patas, o la punta de una oreja, así sucederá con el pueblo de Israel que habita en Samaria: Solo se “salvará” una esquina del sofá, o el trozo de la pata de una cama.
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! Adviertan a la casa de Jacob, dice el Señor Dios de poder.
13 “Listen, and testify against the house of Jacob,” says the Lord Yahweh, the God of Armies.
14 Porque ese día castigaré a Israel por sus pecados. Destruiré los altares de Betel: los extremos del altar serán destruidos y caerán.
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 Yo derribaré sus casas de verano también, y sus casas llenas de marfil quedarán en ruinas. Todas sus casas serán destruidas.
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.
