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.
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 Hosea. And the LORD said to Hosea, Go, take to you a wife of prostitutions and children of prostitutions: for the land has committed great prostitution, 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 the daughter of Diblaim; which 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 Jezreel; for yet a little while, and I will avenge the blood of Jezreel on the house of Jehu, and will cause 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 come to pass at that day, that I will break the bow of Israel, in the valley of Jezreel.
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 God said to him, Call her name Loruhamah: for I will no more have mercy on the house of Israel; but I will utterly take them away.
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 Judah, and will save them by the LORD their God, and will not save them by bow, nor by sword, nor by battle, 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 Now when she had weaned Loruhamah, she conceived, and bore a son.
Og hun afvante Lo-Rukama, og hun undfangede og fødte en Søn.
9 Then said God, Call his name Loammi: for you are not my people, and I will not be 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 shall be as the sand of the sea, which cannot 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, there it shall be said to them, You are 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 Then shall the children of Judah and the children of Israel be gathered together, and appoint themselves one head, and they shall come up out of the land: for great shall be the day of Jezreel.
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.
