Osee 1
1 The word of the Lord which came to Osee the son of Beeri, in the days of Ozias, and Joatham, and Achaz, and Ezekias, kings of Juda, and in the days of Jeroboam son of Joas, king of Israel.
Herrens Ord, som kom til Hoseas, Beeris Søn, i de Dage, da Ussias, Jotham, Akas, Ezekias vare Konger i Juda, og i de Dage, da Jeroboam, Joas's Søn, var Konge i Israel.
2 The beginning of the word of the Lord by Osee. And the Lord said to Osee, Go, take to yourself a wife of fornication, and children of fornication: for the land will surely go a-whoring in departing from the Lord.
Der Herren begyndte at tale ved Hoseas, da sagde Herren til Hoseas: Gak hen, tag dig en Horkvinde og Horebørn, thi Hor bedriver Landet ved at vende sig bort fra Herren.
3 So he went and took Gomer, daughter of Debelaim; and she conceived, and bore him a son.
Og han gik og tog Gomer, Diblajims Datter, og hun undfangede og fødte ham en Søn.
4 And the Lord said to him, Call his name Jezrael; for yet a little [while], and I will avenge the blood of Jezrael on the house of Juda, and will make to cease the kingdom of the house of Israel.
Og Herren sagde til ham: Kald hans Navn Jisreel; thi endnu en lille Stund, saa vil jeg hjemsøge Jisreels Blodskyld over Jehus Hus og gøre Ende paa Israels Hus's Rige.
5 And it shall be, in that day, [that] I will break the bow of Israel in the valley of Jezrael.
Og det skal ske paa denne Dag, da vil jeg sønderbryde Israels Bue i Jisreels Dal.
6 And she conceived again, and bore a daughter. And he said to him, Call her name, Unpitied: for I will no more have mercy on the house of Israel, but will surely set myself in array against them.
Og hun undfangede atter og fødte en Datter; og han sagde til ham: Kald hendes Navn Lo-Rukama; thi jeg vil ikke ydermere forbarme mig over Israels Hus, saa at jeg skulde tilgive dem.
7 But I will have mercy on the house of Juda, and will save them by the Lord their God, and will not save them with bow, nor with sword, nor by war, nor by horses, nor by horsemen.
Dog vil jeg forbarme mig over Judas Hus og frelse dem ved Herren deres Gud; men jeg vil ikke frelse dem ved Bue eller ved Sværd eller ved Krig, ved Heste eller ved Ryttere.
8 And she weaned Unpitied; and she conceived again, and bore a son.
Og hun afvante Lo-Rukama, og hun undfangede og fødte en Søn.
9 And he said, Call his name, Not my people: for you are not my people, and I am not your [God].
Og han sagde: Kald hans Navn Lo-Ammi; thi I ere ikke mit Folk, og jeg vil ikke være eders.
10 Yet the number of the children of Israel was as the sand of the sea, which shall not be measured nor numbered: and it shall come to pass, [that] in the place where it was said to them, You are not my people, even they shall be called the sons of the living God.
Dog skal Israels Børns Tal blive som Havets Sand, der ikke kan maales og ikke tælles; og det skal ske, at paa det Sted, hvor der siges til dem: I ere ikke mit Folk, der skal der siges til dem: Den levende Guds Børn.
11 And the children of Juda shall be gathered, and the children of Israel together, and shall appoint themselves one head, and shall come up out of the land: for great [shall be] the day of Jezrael.
Og Judas Børn og Israels Børn skulle samles til Hobe og sætte sig eet Overhoved og drage op af Landet; thi stor er Jisreels Dag.
