The Message Bible MSG
1 Oíd esto, sacerdotes, y estad atentos, casa de Israel, y casa del rey, escuchad, porque para vosotros es el juicio; pues lazo habéis sido en Mizpa, y red tendida sobre el Tabor.
1
"Listen to this, priests! Attention, people of Israel! Royal family - all ears! You're in charge of justice around here. But what have you done? Exploited people at Mizpah, ripped them off on Tabor,
2 Y los rebeldes se han ahondado en la perversión; pero yo los castigaré a todos ellos.
2
Victimized them at Shittim. I'm going to punish the lot of you.
3 Yo conozco a Efraín, e Israel no se me oculta; porque ahora te has prostituido, Efraín, se ha contaminado Israel.
3
"I know you, Ephraim, inside and out. Yes, Israel, I see right through you! Ephraim, you've played your sex-and-religion games long enough. All Israel is thoroughly polluted.
4 No les permiten sus obras volver a su Dios, porque hay un espíritu de prostitución dentro de ellos, y no conocen al SEÑOR.
4
They couldn't turn to God if they wanted to. Their evil life is a bad habit. Every breath they take is a whore's breath. They wouldn't recognize God if they saw me.
5 Además, el orgullo de Israel testifica contra él, e Israel y Efraín tropiezan en su iniquidad; también Judá ha tropezado con ellos.
5
"Bloated by arrogance, big as a house, they're a public disgrace, The lot of them - Israel, Ephraim, Judah - lurching and weaving down their guilty streets.
6 Irán con sus rebaños y sus ganados en busca del SEÑOR, pero no le encontrarán; se ha retirado de ellos.
6
When they decide to get their lives together and go off looking for God once again, They'll find it's too late. I, God, will be long gone.
7 Han obrado perversamente contra el SEÑOR, porque han engendrado hijos ilegítimos. Ahora los devorará la luna nueva junto con sus heredades.
7
They've played fast and loose with me for too long, filling the country with their bastard offspring. A plague of locusts will devastate their violated land.
8 Tocad la bocina en Guibeá, la trompeta en Ramá. Sonad alarma en Bet-avén: ¡Alerta, Benjamín!
8
"Blow the ram's horn shofar in Gibeah, the bugle in Ramah! Signal the invasion of Sin City! Scare the daylights out of Benjamin!
9 Efraín será una desolación en el día de la reprensión; en las tribus de Israel yo hago saber lo que es cierto.
9
Ephraim will be left wasted, a lifeless moonscape. I'm telling it straight, the unvarnished truth, to the tribes of Israel.
10 Los príncipes de Judá son como los que mueven los linderos; sobre ellos derramaré como agua mi furor.
10
"Israel's rulers are crooks and thieves, cheating the people of their land, And I'm angry, good and angry. Every inch of their bodies is going to feel my anger.
11 Efraín está oprimido, quebrantado en juicio, porque insistía en seguir mandato de hombre.
11
"Brutal Ephraim is himself brutalized - a taste of his own medicine! He was so determined to do it his own worthless way.
12 Yo, pues, soy como polilla para Efraín, y como carcoma para la casa de Judá.
12
Therefore I'm pus to Ephraim, dry rot in the house of Judah.
13 Cuando Efraín vio su enfermedad y Judá su herida, Efraín fue a Asiria y envió mensaje al rey Jareb; pero él no os podrá sanar, ni curar vuestra herida.
13
"When Ephraim saw he was sick and Judah saw his pus-filled sores, Ephraim went running to Assyria, went for help to the big king. But he can't heal you. He can't cure your oozing sores.
14 Porque yo seré como león para Efraín, y como leoncillo para la casa de Judá. Yo, yo mismo, desgarraré y me iré, arrebataré y no habrá quien libre.
14
"I'm a grizzly charging Ephraim, a grizzly with cubs charging Judah. I'll rip them to pieces - yes, I will! No one can stop me now. I'll drag them off. No one can help them.
15 Me iré y volveré a mi lugar hasta que reconozcan su culpa y busquen mi rostro; en su angustia me buscarán con diligencia.
15
Then I'll go back to where I came from until they come to their senses. When they finally hit rock bottom, maybe they'll come looking for me."
