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 word 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 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 spoke at first by Hosea, the LORD said to Hosea, “Go, take for yourself a wife of prostitution and children of unfaithfulness; for the land commits great adultery, forsaking the LORD.”
3 Saa gik han hen og ægtede Gomer, Diblajims Datter, og hun blev frugtsommelig og fødte ham en Søn.
So he went and took Gomer the daughter of Diblaim; and 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 to him, “Call his name Jezreel, for yet a little while, and I will avenge the blood of Jezreel on the house of Jehu, and will cause the kingdom of the house of Israel to cease.
5 Paa hin Dag sønderbryder jeg Israels Bue i Jizre'els Dal.«
It will happen in that day that I will break the bow of Israel 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.
She conceived again, and bore a daughter. Then he said to him, “Call her name Lo-Ruhamah, for I will no longer have mercy on the house of Israel, that I should in any way pardon 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 I will have mercy on the house of Judah, and will save them by the LORD their God, and will not save them by bow, sword, battle, horses, or horsemen.”
8 Saa vænnede hun Naadeløs fra og blev atter frugtsommelig og fødte en Søn.
Now when she had weaned Lo-Ruhamah, she conceived, and bore a son.
9 Og HERREN sagde: »Kald ham Ikke-mit-Folk; thi I er ikke mit Folk, og jeg er ikke eders Gud.«
He said, “Call his name Lo-Ammi, for you are not my people, and I will not be yours.
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 children of Israel will be as the sand of the sea, which can’t be measured or counted; and it will come to pass that, in the place where it was said to them, ‘You are not my people,’ they will be called ‘sons 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 children of Judah and the children of Israel will be gathered together, and they will appoint themselves one head, and will go up from the land; for great will be the day of Jezreel.
