< 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 Osee the son of Beeri, in the days of Ozias, Joathan, Achaz, and Ezechias kings of Juda, and in the days of Jeroboam the son of Joas 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 speaking by Osse: and the Lord said to Osee: Go, take thee a wife of fornications, and have of her children of fornications: for the land by fornication shall depart from the Lord.
3 Omiyo Hosea nodhi mokendo Gomer nyar Diblaim, mine omako ich monywolone wuowi.
So he went, and took Gomer the daughter of Debelaim: 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 Jezrahel: for yet a little while, and I will visit the blood of Jezrahel upon the house of Jehu, and I will cause to cease the kingdom of the house of Israel.
5 E odiechiengno abiro ketho atungʼ mar pinyruodh Israel e Holo mar Jezreel.”
And in that day I will break in pieces the bow of Israel in the valley of Jezrahel.
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 she conceived again, and bore a daughter, and he said to him: Call her name, Without mercy: for I will not add any more to 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.”
And I will have mercy on the house of Juda, and I will save them by the Lord their God: and I will not save them by bow, nor by sword, nor by battle, nor by horses, nor by horsemen.
8 Bangʼ kane Gomer oseweyo dhodho Lo-Ruhama, nonywolo nyathi machielo ma wuowi.
And she weaned her that 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 children of Israel shall be as the sand of the sea, that is without measure, and shall not be numbered. And it shall be in the place where it shall be said to them: You are not my people: it shall be said to them: Ye 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 Juda, and the children of Israel shall be gathered together: and they shall appoint themselves one head, and shall come up out of the land: for great is the day of Jezrahel.
