< Hosea 1 >

1 The word of Jehovah 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.
قَوْلُ ٱلرَّبِّ ٱلَّذِي صَارَ إِلَى هُوشَعَ بْنِ بِئِيرِي، فِي أَيَّامِ عُزِّيَّا وَيُوثَامَ وَآحَازَ وَحَزَقِيَّا مُلُوكِ يَهُوذَا، وَفِي أَيَّامِ يَرُبْعَامَ بْنِ يُوآشَ مَلِكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ.١
2 When Jehovah spoke at the first by Hosea, Jehovah said to Hosea, Go, take to thee a wife of whoredom and children of whoredom, for the land commits great whoredom, departing from Jehovah.
أَوَّلَ مَا كَلَّمَ ٱلرَّبُّ هُوشَعَ، قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِهُوشَعَ: «ٱذْهَبْ خُذْ لِنَفْسِكَ ٱمْرَأَةَ زِنًى وَأَوْلَادَ زِنًى، لِأَنَّ ٱلْأَرْضَ قَدْ زَنَتْ زِنًى تَارِكَةً ٱلرَّبَّ».٢
3 So he went and took Gomer the daughter of Diblaim, and she conceived, and bore him a son.
فَذَهَبَ وَأَخَذَ جُومَرَ بِنْتَ دِبْلَايِمَ، فَحَبِلَتْ وَوَلَدَتْ لَهُ ٱبْنًا،٣
4 And Jehovah said to him, Call his name Jezreel, for yet a little while, and I will avenge the blood of Jezreel upon the house of Jehu, and will cause the kingdom of the house of Israel to cease.
فَقَالَ لَهُ ٱلرَّبُّ: «ٱدْعُ ٱسْمَهُ يَزْرَعِيلَ، لِأَنَّنِي بَعْدَ قَلِيلٍ أُعَاقِبُ بَيْتَ يَاهُو عَلَى دَمِ يَزْرَعِيلَ، وَأُبِيدُ مَمْلَكَةَ بَيْتِ إِسْرَائِيلَ.٤
5 And it shall come to pass at that day, that I will break the bow of Israel in the valley of Jezreel.
وَيَكُونُ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ أَنِّي أَكْسِرُ قَوْسَ إِسْرَائِيلَ فِي وَادِي يَزْرَعِيلَ».٥
6 And she conceived again, and bore a daughter. And Jehovah said to him, Call her name Lo-ruhamah, for I will no more have mercy upon the house of Israel, that I should in any way pardon them.
ثُمَّ حَبِلَتْ أَيْضًا وَوَلَدَتْ بِنْتًا، فَقَالَ لَهُ: «ٱدْعُ ٱسْمَهَا لُورُحَامَةَ، لِأَنِّي لَا أَعُودُ أَرْحَمُ بَيْتَ إِسْرَائِيلَ أَيْضًا، بَلْ أَنْزِعُهُمْ نَزْعًا.٦
7 But I will have mercy upon the house of Judah, and will save them by Jehovah their God, and will not save them by bow, nor by sword, nor by battle, by horses, nor by horsemen.
وَأَمَّا بَيْتُ يَهُوذَا فَأَرْحَمُهُمْ وَأُخَلِّصُهُمْ بِٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِهِمْ، وَلَا أُخَلِّصُهُمْ بِقَوْسٍ وَبِسَيْفٍ وَبِحَرْبٍ وَبِخَيْلٍ وَبِفُرْسَانٍ».٧
8 Now when she had weaned Lo-ruhamah, she conceived, and bore a son.
ثُمَّ فَطَمَتْ لُورُحَامَةَ وَحَبِلَتْ فَوَلَدَتِ ٱبْنًا،٨
9 And Jehovah said, Call his name Lo-ammi, for ye are not my people, and I will not be yours.
فَقَالَ: «ٱدْعُ ٱسْمَهُ لُوعَمِّي، لِأَنَّكُمْ لَسْتُمْ شَعْبِي وَأَنَا لَا أَكُونُ لَكُمْ.٩
10 Yet the number of the sons of Israel shall be as the sand of the sea, which cannot be measured nor numbered. And it shall come to pass that, in the place where it was said to them, Ye are not my people, it shall be said to them, The sons of the living God.
لَكِنْ يَكُونُ عَدَدُ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ كَرَمْلِ ٱلْبَحْرِ ٱلَّذِي لَا يُكَالُ وَلَا يُعَدُّ، وَيَكُونُ عِوَضًا عَنْ أَنْ يُقَالَ لَهُمْ: لَسْتُمْ شَعْبِي، يُقَالُ لَهُمْ: أَبْنَاءُ ٱللهِ ٱلْحَيِّ.١٠
11 And the sons of Judah and the sons of Israel shall be gathered together, and they shall appoint themselves one head, and shall go up from the land, for great shall be the day of Jezreel.
وَيُجْمَعُ بَنُو يَهُوذَا وَبَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ مَعًا وَيَجْعَلُونَ لِأَنْفُسِهِمْ رَأْسًا وَاحِدًا، وَيَصْعَدُونَ مِنَ ٱلْأَرْضِ، لِأَنَّ يَوْمَ يَزْرَعِيلَ عَظِيمٌ.١١
