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.

Gospodova beseda, ki je prišla Beeríjevemu sinu Ozeju v dneh Uzíjaha, Jotáma, Aháza in Ezekíja, Judovih kraljev in v dneh Joáševega sina Jerobeáma, Izraelovega kralja.

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.

Začetek Gospodove besede po Ozeju. Gospod je Ozeju rekel: »Pojdi, vzemi si ženo vlačugarstev in otroke vlačugarstev, kajti dežela je zagrešila veliko vlačugarstvo, odhajajoč od Gospoda.«

3 So he took as his wife Gomer, the daughter of Diblaim, and she gave birth to a son.

Torej je odšel in vzel Diblájimovo hčer Gómero, ki je spočela in mu rodila sina.

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.

Gospod mu je rekel: »Njegovo ime kliči Jezreél, kajti le še malo in jaz bom maščeval kri Jezreéla na Jehújevi hiši in povzročil bom, da bo prenehalo kraljestvo Izraelove hiše.

5 And in that day I will let the bow of Israel be broken in the valley of Jezreel.

Na ta dan se bo zgodilo, da bom Izraelov lok zlomil v dolini Jezreél.«

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.

Ponovno je spočela in rodila hčer. Bog mu je rekel: »Njeno ime kliči Nepomiloščena, kajti ne bom več imel milosti nad Izraelovo hišo, temveč jih bom popolnoma odvedel stran.

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.

Toda imel bom usmiljenje nad Judovo hišo in rešil jih bom po Gospodu, njihovem Bogu in ne bom jih rešil z lokom, niti z mečem, niti z bitko, [niti] s konji, niti s konjeniki.«

8 Now when Lo-ruhamah had been taken from the breast, the woman gave birth to a son.

Torej, ko je odstavila Nepomiloščeno, je spočela in rodila sina.

9 And the Lord said, Give him the name Lo-ammi; for you are not my people, and I will not be your God.

Potem je Bog rekel: »Njegovo ime kliči Ne-moje-ljudstvo, kajti vi niste moje ljudstvo in jaz ne bom vaš Bog.«

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

Vendar bo število Izraelovih otrok kakor morskega peska, ki ne more biti izmerjen niti preštet in zgodilo se bo, da jim bo na kraju, kjer jim je bilo rečeno: ›Vi niste moje ljudstvo, ‹ tam jim bo rečeno: › Vi ste sinovi živega Boga.‹

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.

Potem bodo Judovi otroci in Izraelovi otroci zbrani skupaj in določili si bodo eno glavo in prišli bodo gor iz dežele, kajti velik bo Jezreélov dan.‹
