1 Vuelve, oh Israel, al SEÑOR tu Dios, pues has tropezado a causa de tu iniquidad.
1
O Israel, come back! Return to your God! You're down but you're not out.
2 Tomad con vosotros palabras, y volveos al SEÑOR. Decidle: Quita toda iniquidad, y acéptanos bondadosamente, para que podamos presentar el fruto de nuestros labios.
2
Prepare your confession and come back to God. Pray to him, "Take away our sin, accept our confession. Receive as restitution our repentant prayers.
3 Asiria no nos salvará, no montaremos a caballo, y nunca más diremos: "Dios nuestro" a la obra de nuestras manos, pues en ti el huérfano halla misericordia.
3
Assyria won't save us; horses won't get us where we want to go. We'll never again say 'our god' to something we've made or made up. You're our last hope. Is it not true that in you the orphan finds mercy?"
4 Yo sanaré su apostasía, los amaré generosamente, pues mi ira se ha apartado de ellos.
4
"I will heal their waywardness. I will love them lavishly. My anger is played out.
5 Seré como rocío para Israel; florecerá como lirio, y extenderá sus raíces como los cedros del Líbano.
5
I will make a fresh start with Israel. He'll burst into bloom like a crocus in the spring. He'll put down deep oak tree roots,
6 Brotarán sus renuevos, y será su esplendor como el del olivo, y su fragancia como la de los cedros del Líbano.
6
he'll become a forest of oaks! He'll become splendid - like a giant sequoia, his fragrance like a grove of cedars!
7 Los que moran a su sombra, cultivarán de nuevo el trigo y florecerán como la vid. Su fama será como la del vino del Líbano.
7
Those who live near him will be blessed by him, be blessed and prosper like golden grain. Everyone will be talking about them, spreading their fame as the vintage children of God.
8 Efraín, ¿qué tengo yo que ver ya con los ídolos? Yo respondo y te cuido. Yo soy como un frondoso ciprés; de mí procede tu fruto.
8
Ephraim is finished with gods that are no-gods. From now on I'm the one who answers and satisfies him. I am like a luxuriant fruit tree. Everything you need is to be found in me."
9 Quien es sabio, que entienda estas cosas; quien es prudente, que las comprenda. Porque rectos son los caminos del SEÑOR, y los justos andarán por ellos; pero los transgresores tropezarán en ellos.
9
If you want to live well, make sure you understand all of this. If you know what's good for you, you'll learn this inside and out. God's paths get you where you want to go. Right-living people walk them easily; wrong-living people are always tripping and stumbling.
