Hosea 1
1 A word of YHWH that has been to Hosea, son of Beeri, in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, Hezekiah, kings of Judah, and in the days of Jeroboam 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 commencement of YHWH’s speaking by Hosea. And YHWH says to Hosea, “Go, take a woman of whoredoms for yourself, and children of whoredoms, for the land goes utterly whoring from after YHWH.”
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 And he goes and takes Gomer daughter of Diblaim, and she conceives and bears a son to him;
Og han gik og tog Gomer, Diblajims Datter, og hun undfangede og fødte ham en Søn.
4 and YHWH says to him, “Call his name Jezreel, for yet a little, and I have charged the blood of Jezreel on the house of Jehu, and have caused the kingdom of the house of Israel to cease;
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 has come to pass in that day that I have broken 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 conceives again, and bears a daughter, and He says to him, “Call her name Lo-Ruhamah [(Not Loved)], for I no longer pity the house of Israel, for I 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 and I pity the house of Judah, and have saved them by their God YHWH, and do not save them by bow, and by sword, and by battle, by horses, and 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 weans Lo-Ruhamah, and conceives, and bears a son;
Og hun afvante Lo-Rukama, og hun undfangede og fødte en Søn.
9 and He says, “Call his name Lo-Ammi [(Not My People)], for you [are] not My people, and I am not for you;
Og han sagde: Kald hans Navn Lo-Ammi; thi I ere ikke mit Folk, og jeg vil ikke være eders.
10 and the number of the sons of Israel has been as the sand of the sea that is not measured nor numbered, and it has come to pass in the place where it is said to them, You [are] not My people, it is said to them, 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 sons of Judah and the sons of Israel have been gathered together, and they have appointed one head for themselves, and have gone up from the land, for great [is] 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.
