< Hozeáš 1 >

1 Slovo Hospodinovo, kteréž se stalo k Ozeášovi synu Bérovu za dnů Uziáše, Jotama, Achasa, Ezechiáše, králů Judských, a za dnů Jeroboáma syna Joasova, krále Izraelského.
[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 Když Hospodin začal mluviti k Ozeášovi, řekl Hospodin Ozeášovi: Jdi, pojmi sobě ženu smilnou, a děti z smilstva; nebo nestydatě smilněci tato země, odvrátila se od Hospodina.
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 A tak šel a pojal Gomeru, dceru Diblaimskou, kterážto počala a porodila jemu syna.
So I married Gomer, the daughter of Diblaim. She became pregnant and gave birth to my son.
4 Tedy řekl jemu Hospodin: Nazoviž jméno jeho Jezreel; nebo po malém času já vyhledávati budu krve Jezreel na domu Jéhu, a přestati káži království domu toho.
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 I stane se v ten den, že polámi lučiště Izraelovo v údolí Jezreel.
by destroying the power [MTY] of [the army of] Israel in Jezreel Valley.”
6 Opět počala znovu a porodila dceru. I řekl jemu: Nazov jméno její Lorucháma; nebo již více neslituji se nad domem Izraelským, abych jim co prominouti měl.
[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 Ale nad domem Judským se slituji, a vysvobodím je skrze Hospodina Boha jejich; nebo nevysvobodím jich lučištěm a mečem, ani bojem, koňmi neb jezdci.
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 Potom ostavivši Loruchámu, opět počala a porodila syna.
After Gomer had (weaned/stopped breast-feeding) Lo-ruhamah, she became pregnant again, and she gave birth to another son.
9 I řekl: Nazov jméno jeho Loammi; nebo vy nejste lid můj, a já také nebudu váš.
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 A však bude počet synů Izraelských jako písku mořského, kterýž ani změřen, ani sečten býti nemůže. A stane se, že místo toho, kdež řečeno jim bylo: Nejste vy lid můj, řečeno jim bude: Synové Boha silného a živého jste.
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 I budou shromážděni synové Judští a synové Izraelští spolu, a ustanovíce nad sebou hlavu jednu, vyjdou z této země, ačkoli veliký bude den Jezreel.
[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].”
