Chapter 5

Hear ye this, O priests; and hearken, ye house of Israel; and give ye ear, O house of the king; for judgment is toward you, because ye have been a snare on Mizpah, and a net spread upon Tabor.

SACERDOTES, oid esto, y estad atentos, casa de Israel; y casa del rey, escuchad: porque á vosotros es el juicio, pues habéis sido lazo en Mizpa, y red extendida sobre Tabor.

And the revolters are profound to make slaughter, though I have been a rebuker of them all.

Y haciendo víctimas han bajado hasta el profundo: por tanto yo seré la corrección de todos ellos.

I know Ephraim, and Israel is not hid from me: for now, O Ephraim, thou committest whoredom, and Israel is defiled.

Yo conozco á Ephraim, é Israel no me es desconocido; porque ahora, oh Ephraim, has fornicado, y se ha contaminado Israel.

They will not frame their doings to turn unto their God: for the spirit of whoredoms is in the midst of them, and they have not known the LORD.

No pondrán sus pensamientos en volverse á su Dios, porque espíritu de fornicación está en medio de ellos, y no conocen á Jehová.

And the pride of Israel doth testify to his face: therefore shall Israel and Ephraim fall in their iniquity; Judah also shall fall with them.

Y la soberbia de Israel le desmentirá en su cara: é Israel y Ephraim tropezarán en su pecado: tropezará también Judá con ellos.

They shall go with their flocks and with their herds to seek the LORD; but they shall not find him; he hath withdrawn himself from them.

Con sus ovejas y con sus vacas andarán buscando á Jehová, y no le hallarán; apartóse de ellos.

They have dealt treacherously against the LORD: for they have begotten strange children: now shall a month devour them with their portions.

Contra Jehová prevaricaron, porque hijos extraños han engendrado: ahora los devorará un mes con sus heredades.

Blow ye the cornet in Gibeah, and the trumpet in Ramah: cry aloud at Bethaven, after thee, O Benjamin.

Tocad bocina en Gabaa, trompreta en Ramá: sonad tambor en Beth-aven: tras ti, oh Benjamín.

Ephraim shall be desolate in the day of rebuke: among the tribes of Israel have I made known that which shall surely be.

Ephraim será asolado el día del castigo: en las tribus de Israel hice conocer verdad.

The princes of Judah were like them that remove the bound: therefore I will pour out my wrath upon them like water.

Los príncipes de Judá fueron como los que traspasan mojones: derramaré sobre ellos como agua mi ira.

Ephraim is oppressed and broken in judgment, because he willingly walked after the commandment.

Ephraim es vejado, quebrantado en juicio, porque quiso andar en pos de mandamientos.

Therefore will I be unto Ephraim as a moth, and to the house of Judah as rottenness.

Yo pues seré como polilla á Ephraim, y como carcoma á la casa de Judá.

When Ephraim saw his sickness, and Judah saw his wound, then went Ephraim to the Assyrian, and sent to king Jareb: yet could he not heal you, nor cure you of your wound.

Y verá Ephraim su enfermedad, y Judá su llaga: irá entonces Ephraim al Assur, y enviará al rey Jareb; mas él no os podrá sanar, ni os curará la llaga.

For I will be unto Ephraim as a lion, and as a young lion to the house of Judah: I, even I, will tear and go away; I will take away, and none shall rescue him.

Porque yo seré como león á Ephraim, y como cachorro de león á la casa de Judá: yo, yo arrebataré, y andaré; tomaré, y no habrá quien liberte.

I will go and return to my place, till they acknowledge their offence, and seek my face: in their affliction they will seek me early.

Andaré, y tornaré á mi lugar hasta que conozcan su pecado, y busquen mi rostro. En su angustia madrugarán á mi.
