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.

当乌西雅、约坦、亚哈斯、希西家作犹大王，约阿施的儿子耶罗波安作以色列王的时候，耶和华的话临到备利的儿子何西阿。

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.

耶和华初次与何西阿说话，对他说：“你去娶淫妇为妻，也收那从淫乱所生的儿女；因为这地大行淫乱，离弃耶和华。”

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

于是，何西阿去娶了滴拉音的女儿歌篾。这妇人怀孕，给他生了一个儿子。

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.

耶和华对何西阿说：“给他起名叫耶斯列；因为再过片时，我必讨耶户家在耶斯列杀人流血的罪，也必使以色列家的国灭绝。

5 And it shall be, in that day, [that] I will break the bow of Israel in the valley of Jezrael.

到那日，我必在耶斯列平原折断以色列的弓。”

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.

歌篾又怀孕生了一个女儿，耶和华对何西阿说：“给她起名叫罗·路哈玛；因为我必不再怜悯以色列家，决不赦免他们。

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.

我却要怜悯犹大家，使他们靠耶和华—他们的 神得救，不使他们靠弓、刀、争战、马匹，与马兵得救。”

8 And she weaned Unpitied; and she conceived again, and bore a son.

歌篾给罗·路哈玛断奶以后，又怀孕生了一个儿子。

9 And he said, Call his name, Not my people: for you are not my people, and I am not your [God].

耶和华说：“给他起名叫罗·阿米；因为你们不作我的子民，我也不作你们的 神。”

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.

然而，以色列的人数必如海沙，不可量，不可数。从前在什么地方对他们说“你们不是我的子民”，将来在那里必对他们说“你们是永生 神的儿子”。

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.

犹大人和以色列人必一同聚集，为自己立一个首领，从这地上去，因为耶斯列的日子必为大日。
