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.
Men mesaj Seyè a te bay Oze, pitit Beeri, nan tan Ozyas, Jotam, Akaz ak Ezekyas te wa, yonn apre lòt, nan peyi Jida. Lè sa a, se Jewoboram, pitit Joas, ki te wa nan peyi Izrayèl.
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.
Premye fwa Seyè a t'ap bay Oze mesaj pou pèp Izrayèl la, li di l' konsa: -Leve non! Al marye ak yon fanm jennès nan san ki pral twonpe ou. Kanta pou pitit w'ap gen avè l' yo, y'ap gen menm san jennès la tou. Se konsa pèp la vire do ban mwen. Yo pa kenbe pawòl yo te gen avè m'.
3 So he took as his wife Gomer, the daughter of Diblaim, and she gave birth to a son.
Se konsa, Oze leve, li al marye ak Gomè, pitit fi Diblayim. Gomè vin ansent, li fè yon pitit gason.
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.
Seyè a di Oze konsa: -W'a rele l' Jizreyèl paske talè konsa, mwen pral pini wa Izrayèl la pou krim Jeou, zansèt li a, te fè lavil Jizreyèl. Mwen pral wete gouvènman an nan men moun ras Izrayèl yo.
5 And in that day I will let the bow of Israel be broken in the valley of Jezreel.
Jou sa a, m'ap kraze tout zam pèp Izrayèl yo nan Fon Jizreyèl la.
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.
Gomè vin ansent ankò. Li fè yon pitit fi. Lè sa a, Seyè a di Oze konsa: -W'a rele l' Lowouchama, paske m'ap san pitye pou moun Izrayèl yo ankò. p'ap gen padon pou yo.
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.
Men, m'ap gen pitye pou moun peyi Jida yo. Mwen menm, Seyè a, Bondye yo a, m'ap delivre yo. Men, mwen p'ap fè l' ni avèk flèch, ni avèk nepe, ni nan goumen, ni avèk chwal ak kavalye.
8 Now when Lo-ruhamah had been taken from the breast, the woman gave birth to a son.
Apre Gomè fin sevre Lowouchama, li vin ansent ankò. Li fè yon pitit gason.
9 And the Lord said, Give him the name Lo-ammi; for you are not my people, and I will not be your God.
Lè sa a, Seyè a di Oze: -W'ap rele l' Lorami, paske moun peyi Izrayèl yo pa moun pa m' ankò. Mwen menm, mwen pa Bondye yo ankò.
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
Moun pèp Izrayèl yo va tankou sab bò lanmè: moun p'ap ka ni konte yo, ni konnen kantite ki va genyen. Si koulye a Bondye ap di: Nou pa moun pa m' ankò, yon jou l'a di yo: Nou se pitit Bondye vivan an.
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.
Moun peyi Jida ak moun peyi Izrayèl va mete tèt yo ansanm ankò. Y'a chwazi yon sèl chèf pou mache alatèt yo. Y'a grandi. Zafè yo va mache nan peyi a. Wi, jou Jizreyèl la pral yon gwo jou.
