< Hosea 1 >

1 The word of the Lord 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.
Pawòl SENYÈ a ki te vini a Osée, fis a Béeri a, pandan jou Ozias yo, Jotham, Achaz, ak Ézéchias, wa a Juda a, e nan tan Jéroboam, fis a Joas la, wa Israël la.
2 The beginning of the Lord’s conversation with Hosea. And the Lord said to Hosea: “Go, take to yourself a wife of fornications, and make for yourself sons of fornications, because, by fornicating, the land will fornicate away from the Lord.”
Lè SENYÈ a te pale an premye pa Osée, SENYÈ a te di a Osée: “Ale, pran pou ou menm, yon madanm pwostitiye, ak pitit enfidèl yo. Paske peyi a ap komèt gwo pwostitisyon. L ap abandone SENYÈ a.”
3 And he went out and took Gomer the daughter of Diblaim; and she conceived and bore him a son.
Konsa, li te ale pran Gomer, fi a Diblaïm nan. Li te vin ansent, e li te fè yon fis pou li.
4 And the Lord said to him: “Call his name Jezreel because, after a little while, I will visit the blood of Jezreel upon the house of Jehu, and I will put the kingdom of the house of Israel to rest.
Konsa, SENYÈ a te di li: “Bay li non Jizreel; paske deja nan yon ti tan mwen va vanje san a Jizreel sou lakay Jéhu. Epi sa va koze wayòm lakay Israël la fini.
5 And in that day, I will crush the stronghold of Israel in the valley of Jezreel.”
Nan jou sa a, Mwen va kraze banza Israël la nan vale Jizreel la.”
6 And after a while, she conceived and bore a daughter. And he said to him: “Call her name, Without Mercy, for I will no longer have mercy on the house of Israel, but I will utterly forget them.
Konsa, li te vin ansent ankò, e li te bay nesans a yon fi. Epi SENYÈ a te di li: “Rele li Lo Ruchama, paske Mwen p ap fè konpasyon ankò pou lakay Israël, pou M ta janm padone yo.
7 Yet I will have mercy on the house of Judah, and I will save them by the Lord their God. And I will not save them by bow and sword and battle and horses and horsemen.”
Men Mwen va genyen konpasyon pou lakay Juda. Yo va delivre pa SENYÈ Bondye yo, a e yo p ap delivre ni pa banza, ni pa nepe, ni pa batay, pa cheval, ni chevalye.”
8 And she weaned her, who was called Without Mercy. And she conceived and bore a son.
Alò, lè li te fin sevre Lo Ruchama, li te vin ansent, e li te fè yon fis.
9 And he said: “Call his name, Not My People, for you are not my people, and I will not be yours.
Epi SENYÈ a te di: “Rele li Lo Ammi, paske nou pa pèp Mwen, ni Mwen pa Bondye nou.”
10 And the number of the sons of Israel will be like the sand of the sea, which is without measure and cannot be numbered. And in the place where it will be said to them, ‘You are not my people,’ this will happen: it will be said to them, ‘You are the sons of the living God.’
Malgre sa, fis Israël yo va tankou sab lanmè, ki p ap ka mezire, ni konte. Men nan plas kote sa te pale a yo menm nan, ‘Nou pa pèp Mwen an’, sa va pale a yo menm ‘Yo va rele fis a Bondye vivan an.’
11 And the sons of Judah, and the sons of Israel, will be gathered together. And they will place over themselves one head, and they will rise up from the earth, for great is the day of Jezreel.”
Konsa, fis a Juda ak fis Israël yo va vin rasanble ansanm, epi yo va chwazi pou kont yo yon sèl chèf, epi yo va monte depi nan peye a, paske jou a Jizreel la va vreman gran.
