< 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:
Riječ Jahvina koja dođe Hošei, sinu Beerijevu, u dane Uzije, Jotama, Ahaza i Ezekije, kraljeva judejskih, u dane Jeroboama, sina Joaševa, kralja izraelskog.
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.”
Početak riječi Jahvinih Hošei. Jahve reče Hošei: “Idi, oženi se bludnicom i izrodi djecu bludničku, jer se zemlja bludu odala, odmetnuvši se od Jahve!”
3 And he goes and takes Gomer daughter of Diblaim, and she conceives and bears a son to him;
I on ode, uze Gomeru, kćer Diblajimovu, koja zače i rodi mu sina.
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;
Jahve mu reče: “Nadjeni mu ime Jizreel, jer još samo malo i kaznit ću pokolje jizreelske na domu Jehuovu i dokončat ću kraljevstvo doma Izraelova.
5 and it has come to pass in that day that I have broken the bow of Israel in the Valley of Jezreel.”
I u taj dan slomit ću luk Izraelov u Dolini jizreelskoj.”
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;
I ona opet zače i rodi kćer. I reče mu Jahve: “Nadjeni joj ime Nemila, jer mi odsad neće biti mila kuća Izraelova, od nje ću se povući;
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.”
a omiljet će mi kuća Judina, spasit ću je Jahvom, Bogom njihovim, a neću je spasiti lukom, mačem ni kopljem, ni konjima ni konjanicima.”
8 And she weans Lo-Ruhamah, and conceives, and bears a son;
Kad odoji Nemilu, zače opet i rodi sina.
9 and He says, “Call his name Lo-Ammi [(Not My People)], for you [are] not My people, and I am not for you;
I reče Jahve: “Nadjeni mu ime Ne-narod-moj, jer više niste narod moj i ja vama nisam više Onaj koji jest.”
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;
“A djece Izraelove bit će brojem k'o pijeska u moru što se izmjerit' ne može ni izbrojit'. Umjesto da im govore: 'Vi niste moj narod,' zvat će ih: 'Sinovi Boga živoga.'
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.”
Ujedinit će se sinovi Judini i sinovi Izraelovi, postavit će sebi jednoga glavara i otići će iz zemlje; jer velik će biti dan jizreelski.
