< 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:
Dubbiin Waaqayyoo kan bara Uziyaan, Yootaam, Aahaaziitii fi Hisqiyaas mootota Yihuudaa keessa, akkasumas bara Yerobiʼaam ilma Yooʼaash mooticha Israaʼel keessa gara Hooseʼaa ilma Biʼeer dhufe kanaa dha:
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.”
Yeroo Waaqayyo karaa Hooseʼaatiin dubbachuu jalqabetti Waaqayyo akkana isaan jedhe; “Sababii biyyattiin Waaqayyo irraa gortee yakka sagaagalummaa guddaa isaa hojjetteef ati dhaqiitii niitii sagaagaltuu fi ijoollee hin amanamne ofii keetiif fudhadhu.”
3 And he goes and takes Gomer daughter of Diblaim, and she conceives and bears a son to him;
Kanaafuu inni dhaqee Goomer intala Diblaayiim fuudhe; isheenis ulfooftee ilma deesseef.
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;
Kana irratti Waaqayyo Hooseʼaatiin akkana jedhe; “Ani sababii dhiiga Yizriʼeel keessatti dhangalaʼe sanaatiif dafee mana Yehuu waanan adabuuf Yizriʼeel jedhii isa moggaasi; ani mootummaa Israaʼel nan balleessa.
5 and it has come to pass in that day that I have broken the bow of Israel in the Valley of Jezreel.”
Gaafas ani Sulula Yizriʼeel keessatti iddaa Israaʼel nan cabsa.”
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;
Goomer amma illee ulfooftee intala deesse. Waaqayyo Hooseʼaatiin akkana jedhe; “Sababii ani isaaniif araaramuu fi siʼachis mana Israaʼeliif garaa hin laafneef Loo-Ruhaamaa jedhii ishee moggaasi.
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.”
Taʼus ani mana Yihuudaatiif garaa nan laafa; ani xiyyaan yookaan goraadeedhaan yookaan waraanaan yookaan fardeeniin yookaan abbootii fardaatiin isaan hin oolchu; garuu ani Waaqayyo Waaqni isaanii isaan nan oolcha.”
8 And she weans Lo-Ruhamah, and conceives, and bears a son;
Goomer erga Loo-Ruhaamaa harma guusiftee booddee ulfooftee ilma deesse.
9 and He says, “Call his name Lo-Ammi [(Not My People)], for you [are] not My people, and I am not for you;
Ergasiis Waaqayyo akkana jedhe; “Isin waan saba koo hin taʼinii fi anis Waaqa keessan hin taʼiniif Loo-Amii jedhii isa moggaasi.
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;
“Taʼus Israaʼel akkuma cirracha qarqara galaanaa kan madaalamuu yookaan hedamuu hin dandaʼamnee taʼa. Isaan iddoodhuma itti, ‘Isin saba koo miti’ isaaniin jedhame sanatti, ‘Ilmaan Waaqa jiraataa’ jedhamanii ni waamamu.
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.”
Guyyaan Yizriʼeel waan guddaa taʼuuf, sabni Yihuudaatii fi sabni Israaʼel deebiʼanii tokko taʼu; isaan hoogganaa tokko muuddatanii biyya sana keessaa ni baʼu.
