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 which 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 start of the word of the Lord by Hosea: And the Lord said to Hosea, Go, take for yourself a wife of loose ways, and children of the same, for the land has been untrue to the Lord.
3 Omiyo Hosea nodhi mokendo Gomer nyar Diblaim, mine omako ich monywolone wuowi.
So he took as his wife Gomer, the daughter of Diblaim, and she gave birth to 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, Give him the name of Jezreel, for after a little time I will send punishment for the blood of Jezreel on the line of Jehu, and put an end to the kingdom of Israel.
5 E odiechiengno abiro ketho atungʼ mar pinyruodh Israel e Holo mar Jezreel.”
And in that day I will let the bow of Israel be broken 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 that she gave birth to a daughter. And the Lord said, Give her the name Lo-ruhamah; for I will not again have mercy on Israel, to give them forgiveness.
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 Judah and will give them salvation by the Lord their God, but not by the bow or the sword or by fighting or by horses or horsemen.
8 Bangʼ kane Gomer oseweyo dhodho Lo-Ruhama, nonywolo nyathi machielo ma wuowi.
Now when Lo-ruhamah had been taken from the breast, the woman gave birth to a son.
9 Eka Jehova Nyasaye nowacho niya, “Luonge ni Lo-Ami nimar ok un joga, An bende ok An Nyasachu.
And the Lord said, Give him the name Lo-ammi; for you are not my people, and I will not be your God.
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.’
But still the number of the children of Israel will be like the sand of the sea, which may not be measured or numbered; and in place of its being said to them, You are not my people, 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 children of Israel and the children of Judah will come together and take for themselves one head, and will go up from the land, for great will be the day of Jezreel.
