1 P on a tu boca shofar. Vendrá como águila contra la Casa del SEÑOR, porque traspasaron mi pacto, y se rebelaron contra mi ley.

Set the trumpet to thy mouth. He shall come as an eagle against the house of the Lord, because they have transgressed my covenant, and trespassed against my law.

2 A mí clamará Israel: Dios mío, te hemos conocido.

Israel shall cry unto me, My God, we know thee.

3 I srael desamparó el bien; el enemigo lo perseguirá.

Israel hath cast off the thing that is good: the enemy shall pursue him.

4 E llos reinaron, mas no por mí; hicieron señorío, mas yo no lo supe; de su plata y de su oro hicieron ídolos para sí, para ser talados.

They have set up kings, but not by me: they have made princes, and I knew it not: of their silver and their gold have they made them idols, that they may be cut off.

5 T u becerro, oh Samaria, te hizo alejar; se encendió mi enojo contra ellos, hasta que no pudieron ser absueltos.

Thy calf, O Samaria, hath cast thee off; mine anger is kindled against them: how long will it be ere they attain to innocency?

6 P orque de Israel es, y artífice lo hizo; que no es Dios; porque en pedazos será deshecho el becerro de Samaria.

For from Israel was it also: the workman made it; therefore it is not God: but the calf of Samaria shall be broken in pieces.

7 P orque sembraron viento, y torbellino segarán; no tendrán mies, ni el fruto hará harina; si la hiciere, extraños la tragarán.

For they have sown the wind, and they shall reap the whirlwind: it hath no stalk: the bud shall yield no meal: if so be it yield, the strangers shall swallow it up.

8 S erá tragado Israel; presto serán tenidos entre los gentiles como vaso en que no hay contentamiento.

Israel is swallowed up: now shall they be among the Gentiles as a vessel wherein is no pleasure.

9 P orque ellos subieron a Assur, asno montés para sí solo; Efraín con salario alquiló amantes.

For they are gone up to Assyria, a wild ass alone by himself: Ephraim hath hired lovers.

10 A unque se alquilen a los gentiles, ahora los juntaré; y serán un poco afligidos por la carga del rey y de los príncipes.

Yea, though they have hired among the nations, now will I gather them, and they shall sorrow a little for the burden of the king of princes.

11 P orque Efraín multiplicó altares para pecar, los altares serán hechos pecado a él.

Because Ephraim hath made many altars to sin, altars shall be unto him to sin.

12 L e escribí las grandezas de mi ley, y fueron tenidas por cosas ajenas.

I have written to him the great things of my law, but they were counted as a strange thing.

13 E n los sacrificios de mis dones sacrificaron carne, y comieron; no los quiso el SEÑOR; ahora se acordará de su iniquidad, y visitará su pecado; ellos se tornarán a Egipto.

They sacrifice flesh for the sacrifices of mine offerings, and eat it; but the Lord accepteth them not; now will he remember their iniquity, and visit their sins: they shall return to Egypt.

14 O lvidó, pues, Israel a su Hacedor, y edificó templos, y Judá multiplicó ciudades fuertes: mas yo meteré fuego en sus ciudades, el cual devorará sus palacios.

For Israel hath forgotten his Maker, and buildeth temples; and Judah hath multiplied fenced cities: but I will send a fire upon his cities, and it shall devour the palaces thereof.
