Hoseas 1
1 HERRENS Ord kom til Hoseas, Be'eris Søn, i de Dage da Uzzija, Jotam, Akaz og Ezekias var Konger i Juda, og Jeroboam, Joas's Søn, var Konge i Israel.
The Lord’s message to Hosea son of Beeri during the reigns of Kings Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah of Judah and during the reign of King Jeroboam, son of Joash of Israel.
2 Dengang HERREN først talede ved Hoseas, sagde han til ham: »Gaa hen og tag dig en Horkvinde og Horebørn; thi utro mod HERREN bedriver Landet Hor.«
When the Lord began to speak through Hosea, he said to him: “Go marry an unfaithful woman who will bear you children by her adultery, for like an adulterous wife the land is unfaithful to the Lord.”
3 Saa gik han hen og ægtede Gomer, Diblajims Datter, og hun blev frugtsommelig og fødte ham en Søn.
So he married Gomer, the daughter of Dibliam, and when she conceived and bore him a son,
4 Og HERREN sagde til ham: »Kald ham Jizre'el; thi om en liden Stund hjemsøger jeg Jizre'els Blodskyld paa Jehus Hus og gør Ende paa Israels Hus's Rige.
the Lord said: “Call him ‘Jezreel,’ for in a little while I will punish the dynasty of Jehu for the blood shed at the valley of Jezreel, I will cause the kingdom of Israel to cease.
5 Paa hin Dag sønderbryder jeg Israels Bue i Jizre'els Dal.«
On that day, I will break Israel’s bows and arrows in the valley of Jezreel.”
6 Atter blev hun frugtsommelig og fødte en Datter. Og HERREN sagde til ham: »Kald hende Naadeløs; thi jeg vil ikke længer være Israels Hus naadig og tilgive dem.
When she conceived again and bore a daughter, the Lord said to Hosea: “Call her Lo-Ruhamah – ‘No-Compassion’ for I will no longer have compassion on Israel, certainly not spare them.
7 Men Judas Hus vil jeg være naadig og frelse ved HERREN deres Gud; dog frelser jeg dem ikke ved Bue, Sværd eller Stridsvaaben, ved Heste eller Ryttere.«
But on Judah I will have compassion, I will deliver them by the Lord their God, but I will not deliver them by bow nor by sword, nor by battle nor by horses nor by horsemen.”
8 Saa vænnede hun Naadeløs fra og blev atter frugtsommelig og fødte en Søn.
After she had weaned No-Compassion, and when she conceived and bore a son, he said:
9 Og HERREN sagde: »Kald ham Ikke-mit-Folk; thi I er ikke mit Folk, og jeg er ikke eders Gud.«
“Call him Lo-Ammi – ‘Not-My-People’ for you, Israel, are not my people, and I indeed am not your God.”
10 Men Israeliternes Tal skal blive som Sandet ved Havet, der ikke kan maales eller tælles. Og i Stedet for »I er ikke mit Folk« skal de kaldes »den levende Guds Børn«.
Yet the number of the Israelites will be as the sand of the sea, which cannot be measured or counted, and where they were told, “You are not my people,” they will be called, “children of the living God.”
11 Judæerne og Israeliterne skal slaa sig sammen og sætte en og samme Høvding over sig og drage op af Landet; thi stor er Jizre'els Dag.
The Judeans and the Israelites will join together again, will appoint for themselves one leader, will return to their own land. Great will be the day of Jezreel!
