Hosea 1
1 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.
Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobaki na nzela ya Oze, mwana mobali ya Beri, tango Oziasi, Yotami, Akazi mpe Ezekiasi bazalaki bakonzi ya Yuda, mpe tango Jeroboami, mwana mobali ya Joasi, azalaki mokonzi ya Isalaele:
2 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.
Tango Yawe abandaki koloba na nzela ya mosakoli Oze, Yawe ayebisaki ye: — Kende, linga mwasi oyo asalaka kindumba mpe bota na ye bana makangu, pamba te mokili emikotisi na kindumba mpe epesi Yawe mokongo.
3 So he took as his wife Gomer, the daughter of Diblaim, and she gave birth to a son.
Boye, Oze akendeki kolinga Gomeri, mwana mwasi ya Dibilayimi. Gomeri akomaki na zemi mpe abotelaki ye mwana mobali.
4 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.
Yawe alobaki na ye: — Pesa ye kombo Jizireyeli, pamba te etikali moke napesa libota ya Jewu etumbu mpo na makila ya bato oyo asopaki na Jizireyeli, mpe nakosukisa bokonzi, na libota ya Isalaele.
5 And in that day I will let the bow of Israel be broken in the valley of Jezreel.
Na mokolo wana, nakobuka tolotolo ya Isalaele kati na lubwaku ya Jizireyeli.
6 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.
Gomeri akomaki lisusu na zemi mpe abotaki mwana mwasi. Yawe alobaki na Oze: — Pesa ye kombo Lo-Rukama, pamba te nakotalisa lisusu bolingo na Ngai te epai ya libota ya Isalaele mpe nakolimbisa bango te.
7 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.
Kasi nakotalisa bolamu na Ngai epai ya libota ya Yuda mpe nakobikisa bango. Ngai moko Yawe, Nzambe na bango, nde nakosala bongo; ekozala na nguya ya tolotolo te, ya mopanga te, ya bitumba te, ya bampunda te to mpe ya bashar te.
8 Now when Lo-ruhamah had been taken from the breast, the woman gave birth to a son.
Tango Gomeri alongolaki Lo-Rukama na mabele, Gomeri akomaki lisusu na zemi mpe abotaki mwana mobali.
9 And the Lord said, Give him the name Lo-ammi; for you are not my people, and I will not be your God.
Yawe alobaki: — Pesa ye kombo Lo-Ami, pamba te bozali bato na Ngai te, mpe Ngai nazali Nzambe na bino te.
10 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
Nzokande, bana ya Isalaele bakozala ebele lokola zelo ya ebale monene, oyo bakoki komeka to kotanga te; kaka na esika oyo balobaki na bango: « Bozali bato na ngai te, » bakokoma kobenga bango « bana na Nzambe na bomoi. »
11 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.
Bongo, bato ya Yuda mpe ya Isalaele bakozonga lisusu kozala ekolo moko, bakopona mokonzi moko kaka mpe bakobima na mokili ya bowumbu, pamba te mokolo ya Jizireyeli ekozala mokolo monene.
