Hosea 1

1 THE WORD of the LORD that came unto 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.

Verbum Domini, quod factum est ad Osee filium Beeri, in diebus Oziae, Ioathan, Achaz, Ezechiae regum Iuda, et in diebus Ieroboam filii Ioas regis Israel.

2 When the LORD spoke at first with Hosea, the LORD said unto Hosea: 'Go, take unto thee a wife of harlotry and children of harlotry; for the land doth commit great harlotry, departing from the LORD.'

Principium loquendi Domino in Osee: et dixit Dominus ad Osee: Vade, sume tibi uxorem fornicationum, et fac tibi filios fornicationum: quia fornicans fornicabitur terra a Domino.

3 So he went and took Gomer the daughter of Diblaim; and she conceived, and bore him a son.

Et abiit, et accepit Gomer filiam Debelaim: et concepit, et peperit ei filium.

4 And the LORD said unto him: 'Call his name Jezreel; for yet a little while, and I will visit the blood of Jezreel upon the house of Jehu, and will cause to cease the kingdom of the house of Israel.

Et dixit Dominus ad eum: Voca nomen eius Iezrahel: quoniam adhuc modicum, et visitabo sanguinem Iezrahel super domum Iehu, et quiescere faciam regnum domus Israel.

5 And it shall come to pass at that day, that I will break the bow of Israel in the valley of Jezreel.'

Et in illa die conteram arcum Israel in valle Iezrahel.

6 And she conceived again, and bore a daughter. And He said unto him: 'Call her name Lo-ruhamah; for I will no more have compassion upon the house of Israel, that I should in any wise pardon them.

Et concepit adhuc, et peperit filiam. Et dixit ei: Voca nomen eius Absque misericordia: quia non addam ultra misereri domui Israel, sed oblivione obliviscar eorum.

7 But I will have compassion upon the house of Judah, and will save them by the LORD their God, and will not save them by bow, nor by sword, nor by battle, nor by horses, nor by horsemen.'

Et domui Iuda miserebor, et salvabo eos in Domino Deo suo: et non salvabo eos in arcu, et gladio, et in bello, et in equis, et in equitibus.

8 Now when she had weaned Lo-ruhamah, she conceived, and bore a son.

Et ablactavit eam, quae erat Absque misericordia. Et concepit, et peperit filium.

9 And He said: 'Call his name Lo-ammi; for ye are not My people, and I will not be yours.'

Et dixit: Voca nomen eius: Non populus meus: quia vos non populus meus, et ego non ero vester Deus.

10 Yet the number of the children of Israel shall be as the sand of the sea, which cannot be measured nor numbered; and it shall come to pass that, instead of that which was said unto them: 'Ye are not My people', it shall be said unto them: 'Ye are the children of the living God.'

Et erit numerus filiorum Israel quasi arena maris, quae sine mensura est, et non numerabitur. Et erit in loco ubi dicetur eis: Non populus meus vos: dicetur eis: Filii Dei viventis.

11 And the children of Judah and the children of Israel shall be gathered together, and they shall appoint themselves one head, and shall go up out of the land; for great shall be the day of Jezreel.

Et congregabuntur filii Iuda, et filii Israel pariter: et ponent sibimet caput unum, et ascendent de terra: quia magnus dies Iezrahel.
