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.
Yahweh’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 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.”
When Yahweh spoke at first by Hosea, Yahweh said to Hosea, “Go, take for yourself a wife of prostitution and children of unfaithfulness; for the land commits great adultery, forsaking Yahweh.”
3 Omiyo Hosea nodhi mokendo Gomer nyar Diblaim, mine omako ich monywolone wuowi.
So he went 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.
Yahweh 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 E odiechiengno abiro ketho atungʼ mar pinyruodh Israel e Holo mar Jezreel.”
It will happen in that day that I will break the bow 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.
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 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.”
But I will have mercy on the house of Judah, and will save them by Yahweh their God, and will not save them by bow, sword, battle, horses, or horsemen.”
8 Bangʼ kane Gomer oseweyo dhodho Lo-Ruhama, nonywolo nyathi machielo ma wuowi.
Now when she had weaned Lo-Ruhamah, 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.
He said, “Call his name Lo-Ammi, 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.’
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 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.”
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.
