< 何西阿書 1 >
1 當烏西雅、約坦、亞哈斯、希西家作猶大王,約阿施的兒子耶羅波安作以色列王的時候,耶和華的話臨到備利的兒子何西阿。
The word of the Lord that was maad to Osee, the sone of Bery, in the daies of Osie, Joathan, Achas, Ezechie, kingis of Juda, and in the daies of Jeroboam, sone of Joas, the kyng of Israel.
2 耶和華初次與何西阿說話,對他說:「你去娶淫婦為妻,也收那從淫亂所生的兒女;因為這地大行淫亂,離棄耶和華。」
The bigynnyng of the spekyng to the Lord in Osee. And the Lord seide to Osee, Go thou, take to thee a wijf of fornycaciouns, and make to thee sones of fornycaciouns, for the lond doynge fornicacioun schal do fornicacioun fro the Lord.
3 於是,何西阿去娶了滴拉音的女兒歌篾。這婦人懷孕,給他生了一個兒子。
And he yede, and took Gomer, the douyter of Debelaym; and sche conseyuede, and childide a sone to hym.
4 耶和華對何西阿說:「給他起名叫耶斯列;因為再過片時,我必討耶戶家在耶斯列殺人流血的罪,也必使以色列家的國滅絕。
And the Lord seide to hym, Clepe thou the name of hym Jesrael; for yit a litil and Y schal visite the blood of Jesrael on the hous of Hieu, and Y schal make to reste the rewme of the hous of Israel.
And in that dai Y schal al to-breke the bowe of Israel in the valei of Jesrael.
6 歌篾又懷孕生了一個女兒,耶和華對何西阿說:「給她起名叫羅‧路哈瑪;因為我必不再憐憫以色列家,決不赦免他們。
And sche conseyuede yit, and childide a douyter. And the Lord seide to hym, Clepe thou the name of hir With out merci, for Y schal no more leye to, for to haue merci on the hous of Israel, but bi foryetyng Y schal foryete hem.
7 我卻要憐憫猶大家,使他們靠耶和華-他們的上帝得救,不使他們靠弓、刀、爭戰、馬匹,與馬兵得救。」
And Y schal haue merci on the hous of Juda, and Y schal saue hem in her Lord God; and Y schal not saue hem in bowe, and swerd, and batel, and in horsis, and in horse men, ether kniytis.
8 歌篾給羅‧路哈瑪斷奶以後,又懷孕生了一個兒子。
And he wenyde hir that was With out merci. And sche conseyuede, and childide a sone to hym.
9 耶和華說:「給他起名叫羅‧阿米;因為你們不作我的子民,我也不作你們的上帝。」
And he seide, Clepe thou his name Not my puple, for ye schulen not be my puple, and Y schal not be youre God.
10 然而,以色列的人數必如海沙,不可量,不可數。從前在甚麼地方對他們說「你們不是我的子民」,將來在那裏必對他們說「你們是永生上帝的兒子」。
And the noumbre of the sones of Israel schal be as grauel of the see, which grauel is with out mesure, and it schal not be noumbrid; and it schal be in the place, where it schal be seid to hem, Ye ben not my puple; it schal be seid to hem, Ye ben the sones of God lyuynge.
11 猶大人和以色列人必一同聚集,為自己立一個首領,從這地上去,因為耶斯列的日子必為大日。
And the sones of Juda and the sones of Israel schulen be gaderid togidere, and thei schulen sette oon heed to hem silf, and thei schulen stie fro erthe, for the dai of Jesrael is greet.
