Hosia 1
1 Hina Gode da Hosia (Bialai egefe) ema sia: adole i. Amo esoha galu, Asaia, Youdame, A:ihase amola Hesigaia da Yuda dunu fi ilima hina bagade galu. Amola Yelouboua: me (Yihoua: se egefe) da Isala: ili fi amo ilia hina bagade esalu.
[I am] Hosea, the son of Beeri. Yahweh gave me these messages [at various times] during the years that Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah were the kings of Judah, and Jeroboam the son of Jehoash was the King of Israel.
2 Hina Gode da bisili Hosia ea lafidili Isala: ili fi ilima adomusa: galea, E da Hosiama amane sia: i, “Di da asili uda lama. Be dia uda da di baligi fa: mu, amola dia mano da dia uda ea hou defele, hame nabasu mano ba: mu. Amo defele, Na fi dunu ilia da Na yolesili, baligi fa: i dagoi.
When Yahweh first [began to] give messages to me [to tell to the people of Israel], he said to me, “Go and marry a prostitute. But [some of] her children will be born as a result of her having sex with men to whom she is not married. That will illustrate how the people of Israel have turned away from me and worship (idols/other gods).”
3 Amaiba: le, Hosia da Dibala: ime ea uda mano Gouma amo lai dagoi. Amalalu ela da dunu mano lalelegei.
So I married Gomer, the daughter of Diblaim. She became pregnant and gave birth to my son.
4 Amalalu, Hina Gode da Hosiama amane sia: i, “Dia mano ea dio Yeseliele asulima. Bai Na da gadenenewane Isala: ili hina bagade ema se nabasu bagade imunu. Amo se imunu ea bai da ea aowa Yihiu da musa: Yeseliele moilai bai bagadega dunu bagohame medole lelegei. Na da Yihiu ea fi ouligisu hou dagolesimu.
Yahweh said to me, “Give him the name Jezreel, [which means ‘God scatters’], because I will soon punish the descendants [MTY] of [King] Jehu [by scattering them], because he killed many of my people at Jezreel [town]. [Some day] I will end the kingdom of Israel,
5 Amola amo esoha, Na da Yeseliele Fago ganodini, Isala: ili fi ilia gegemusa: sasanega: nanusu wadela: lesimu.
by destroying the power [MTY] of [the army of] Israel in Jezreel Valley.”
6 Gouma da mano eno lalelegei. Waha lalelegei amo da uda mano. Hina Gode da Hosiama amane sia: i, “Ea dio ‘Ema hame asigisa’ asulima. Bai Na da Isala: ili dunu huluanema bu hame asigimu, amola ilia wadela: i hou bu hame gogolema: ne olofomu.
[Later] Gomer became pregnant [again], and she gave birth to a daughter. Yahweh said to me “Give her the name Lo-ruhamah, [which means ‘not loved],’ because I will no longer [show that I] love the people [MET] of Israel, and I will not forgive them [for the sins that they have committed].
7 Be Na da Yuda dunuma asigimu. Na, ilia Hina Gode, da ili gaga: mu. Be amo gaga: su hou Na da gegesu amoga amola gegesu dadi amola gegesu gobihei sedade amola hosiga fila heda: le gegesu dunu, amoga hame hamomu.
But I will [show that I] love the people [MTY] of Judah [by saving them from their enemies]. However, it will not be by weapons and armies or horses and chariots that I will save them. Instead, it will be by [the power that I], Yahweh their God, [have].”
8 Gouma da ea uda mano dodo fisilalu, abula eno agui ba: i. Amalu dunu mano eno lalelegei.
After Gomer had (weaned/stopped breast-feeding) Lo-ruhamah, she became pregnant again, and she gave birth to another son.
9 Hina Gode da Hosiama amane sia: i, “Mano ea dio ‘Na fi dunu hame’ amo asulima. Bai wali Isala: ili dunu da Na fi dunu hame. Amola Na da ilia Gode hame.”
Yahweh said “Give him the name Lo-ammi, [which means 'not my people', ] because the people of Israel are no [longer my people], and I am not their God.
10 Isala: ili dunu fi da afadenene hano bega: bosoda: i dialebe agoai ba: mu. Bagadeba: le, idimu da hamedei ba: mu. Wali, Gode da ilima amane sia: sa, “Dili da Na dunu hame,” be eso da misunu amoga E da ilima amane sia: mu, “Dilia da Esalalalusu Gode Ea mano esala.”
But [some day] the people of Israel will be [as numerous] as [SIM] the [grains of] sand on the seashore; no one will be able to count them. Now [I] am saying to them, ‘You are not my people,’ but then people will say to them, ‘[You are the] children of God who is all-powerful.’
11 Yuda fi dunu amola Isala: ili fi dunu ilia da bu gilisili fi afae hamoi ba: mu. Amola ilia da dunu afae amo ili ouligima: ne ilegemu. Amola ilia fi da bu heda: mu amola ilia soge ganodini hahawane esalumu. Dafawane! Yeseliele ea eso misunu hou da hou bagadedafa ba: mu.”
[At that time], the people of Judah and the people of Israel will unite. They will appoint one leader for all of them, and they will return from the countries [to which they have been (exiled/forced to go)]. That will be a great time; Jezreel [also means ‘God plants’, and it will be as though God will plant them in this country again].”
