Hoseas 1
1 Herrens Ord, som kom til Hoseas, Beeris Søn, i de Dage, da Ussias, Jotham, Akas, Ezekias vare Konger i Juda, og i de Dage, da Jeroboam, Joas's Søn, var Konge i Israel.
The word of the Lord that came to Hosea, the son of Beeri, in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah, and in the days of Jeroboam, the son of Joash, king of Israel.
2 Der Herren begyndte at tale ved Hoseas, da sagde Herren til Hoseas: Gak hen, tag dig en Horkvinde og Horebørn, thi Hor bedriver Landet ved at vende sig bort fra Herren.
The beginning of the Lord’s conversation with Hosea. And the Lord said to Hosea: “Go, take to yourself a wife of fornications, and make for yourself sons of fornications, because, by fornicating, the land will fornicate away from the Lord.”
3 Og han gik og tog Gomer, Diblajims Datter, og hun undfangede og fødte ham en Søn.
And he went out and took Gomer the daughter of Diblaim; and she conceived and bore him a son.
4 Og Herren sagde til ham: Kald hans Navn Jisreel; thi endnu en lille Stund, saa vil jeg hjemsøge Jisreels Blodskyld over Jehus Hus og gøre Ende paa Israels Hus's Rige.
And the Lord said to him: “Call his name Jezreel because, after a little while, I will visit the blood of Jezreel upon the house of Jehu, and I will put the kingdom of the house of Israel to rest.
5 Og det skal ske paa denne Dag, da vil jeg sønderbryde Israels Bue i Jisreels Dal.
And in that day, I will crush the stronghold of Israel in the valley of Jezreel.”
6 Og hun undfangede atter og fødte en Datter; og han sagde til ham: Kald hendes Navn Lo-Rukama; thi jeg vil ikke ydermere forbarme mig over Israels Hus, saa at jeg skulde tilgive dem.
And after a while, she conceived and bore a daughter. And he said to him: “Call her name, Without Mercy, for I will no longer have mercy on the house of Israel, but I will utterly forget them.
7 Dog vil jeg forbarme mig over Judas Hus og frelse dem ved Herren deres Gud; men jeg vil ikke frelse dem ved Bue eller ved Sværd eller ved Krig, ved Heste eller ved Ryttere.
Yet I will have mercy on the house of Judah, and I will save them by the Lord their God. And I will not save them by bow and sword and battle and horses and horsemen.”
8 Og hun afvante Lo-Rukama, og hun undfangede og fødte en Søn.
And she weaned her, who was called Without Mercy. And she conceived and bore a son.
9 Og han sagde: Kald hans Navn Lo-Ammi; thi I ere ikke mit Folk, og jeg vil ikke være eders.
And he said: “Call his name, Not My People, for you are not my people, and I will not be yours.
10 Dog skal Israels Børns Tal blive som Havets Sand, der ikke kan maales og ikke tælles; og det skal ske, at paa det Sted, hvor der siges til dem: I ere ikke mit Folk, der skal der siges til dem: Den levende Guds Børn.
And the number of the sons of Israel will be like the sand of the sea, which is without measure and cannot be numbered. And in the place where it will be said to them, ‘You are not my people,’ this will happen: it will be said to them, ‘You are the sons of the living God.’
11 Og Judas Børn og Israels Børn skulle samles til Hobe og sætte sig eet Overhoved og drage op af Landet; thi stor er Jisreels Dag.
And the sons of Judah, and the sons of Israel, will be gathered together. And they will place over themselves one head, and they will rise up from the earth, for great is the day of Jezreel.”
