Hosea 1
1 Wach Jehova Nyasaye mane obiro ne Hosea wuod Beeri e ndalo loch Uzia, gi Jotham gi Ahaz kod Hezekia, ruodhi mag Juda, e ndalo loch Jeroboam wuod Jehoash ruodh 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 Kane Jehova Nyasaye ochako miyo Hosea wachne monego owachi, Jehova Nyasaye nowachone niya, “Dhiyo ikend dhako ma jachode kendo inywol kode nyithindo mag dwanyruokne, nikech piny oseketho kotimo richo mar chode marachie moloyo mi giseweyo Jehova Nyasaye.”
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 Omiyo Hosea nodhi mokendo Gomer nyar Diblaim, mine omako ich monywolone wuowi.
And he went out and took Gomer the daughter of Diblaim; and she conceived and bore him a son.
4 Eka Jehova Nyasaye nowachone Hosea niya, “Chak nyathi nying ni Jezreel nikech achiegni kumo dhood Jehu kuom nek mane otimore Jezreel kendo adhi tieko pinyruoth mar Israel.
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 E odiechiengno abiro ketho atungʼ mar pinyruodh Israel e Holo mar Jezreel.”
And in that day, I will crush the stronghold of Israel in the valley of Jezreel.”
6 Gomer ne omako ich kendo mi onywolo nyathi ma nyako. Eka Jehova Nyasaye nowachone Hosea niya, “Luonge ni Lo-Ruhama nimar ok abi achak anyis hera ni dhood Israel kata mana ngʼwononegi.
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 Kata kamano, abiro nyiso herana ne dhood Juda kendo abiro resogi to ok abi resogi gi atungʼ, kata ligangla kata gige lweny kata gi farese kata gi jomoidho farese, to an Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachgi ema anaresgi.”
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 Bangʼ kane Gomer oseweyo dhodho Lo-Ruhama, nonywolo nyathi machielo ma wuowi.
And she weaned her, who was called Without Mercy. And she conceived and bore a son.
9 Eka Jehova Nyasaye nowacho niya, “Luonge ni Lo-Ami nimar ok un joga, An bende ok An Nyasachu.
And he said: “Call his name, Not My People, for you are not my people, and I will not be yours.
10 “To kata obedo kamano, jo-Israel nobed mathoth ka kwoyo manie dho nam ma ok nyal pim kata kwano. Kama ne owachnegi ni, ‘Ok un joga,’ ibiro luongogi ni ‘yawuot Nyasaye mangima.’
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 Jo-Juda gi jo-Israel nochak riwre kendo giniyier jatelo achiel kendo giniwuogi ka gia e pinje mane ginie wasumbini nimar odiechiengʼ mar Jezreel nobed maduongʼ miwuoro.”
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.”
