< 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.
Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobaki na nzela ya Oze, mwana mobali ya Beri, tango Oziasi, Yotami, Akazi mpe Ezekiasi bazalaki bakonzi ya Yuda, mpe tango Jeroboami, mwana mobali ya Joasi, azalaki mokonzi ya Isalaele:
2 When the LORD spoke at the first by Hosea, the LORD said to Hosea, "Go, take for yourself a wife of prostitution and children of unfaithfulness; for the land commits great adultery, forsaking the LORD."
Tango Yawe abandaki koloba na nzela ya mosakoli Oze, Yawe ayebisaki ye: — Kende, linga mwasi oyo asalaka kindumba mpe bota na ye bana makangu, pamba te mokili emikotisi na kindumba mpe epesi Yawe mokongo.
3 So he went and took Gomer the daughter of Diblaim; and she conceived, and bore him a son.
Boye, Oze akendeki kolinga Gomeri, mwana mwasi ya Dibilayimi. Gomeri akomaki na zemi mpe abotelaki ye mwana mobali.
4 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 the kingdom of the house of Israel to cease.
Yawe alobaki na ye: — Pesa ye kombo Jizireyeli, pamba te etikali moke napesa libota ya Jewu etumbu mpo na makila ya bato oyo asopaki na Jizireyeli, mpe nakosukisa bokonzi, na libota ya Isalaele.
5 It will happen in that day that I will break the bow of Israel in the Valley of Jezreel."
Na mokolo wana, nakobuka tolotolo ya Isalaele kati na lubwaku ya Jizireyeli.
6 She conceived again, and bore a daughter. Then he said to him, "Call her name 'No Compassion,' for I will no longer have compassion on the house of Israel, that I should in any way pardon them.
Gomeri akomaki lisusu na zemi mpe abotaki mwana mwasi. Yawe alobaki na Oze: — Pesa ye kombo Lo-Rukama, pamba te nakotalisa lisusu bolingo na Ngai te epai ya libota ya Isalaele mpe nakolimbisa bango te.
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, or by sword, or by battle, or by chariots, or by horses, or by horsemen."
Kasi nakotalisa bolamu na Ngai epai ya libota ya Yuda mpe nakobikisa bango. Ngai moko Yawe, Nzambe na bango, nde nakosala bongo; ekozala na nguya ya tolotolo te, ya mopanga te, ya bitumba te, ya bampunda te to mpe ya bashar te.
8 Now when she had weaned No Compassion, she conceived, and bore a son.
Tango Gomeri alongolaki Lo-Rukama na mabele, Gomeri akomaki lisusu na zemi mpe abotaki mwana mobali.
9 He said, "Call his name 'Not My People,' for you are 'Not my People' and I am 'Not your I AM.'
Yawe alobaki: — Pesa ye kombo Lo-Ami, pamba te bozali bato na Ngai te, mpe Ngai nazali Nzambe na bino te.
10 Yet the number of the children of Israel will be as the sand of the sea, which can't be measured nor numbered; and it will come to pass that, in the place where it was said to them, "You are 'Not My People,'" they will be called "Children of the Living God."
Nzokande, bana ya Isalaele bakozala ebele lokola zelo ya ebale monene, oyo bakoki komeka to kotanga te; kaka na esika oyo balobaki na bango: « Bozali bato na ngai te, » bakokoma kobenga bango « bana na Nzambe na bomoi. »
11 The people of Judah and the children of Israel will be gathered together, and they will appoint themselves one head, and will go up from the land; for great will be the day of Jezreel.
Bongo, bato ya Yuda mpe ya Isalaele bakozonga lisusu kozala ekolo moko, bakopona mokonzi moko kaka mpe bakobima na mokili ya bowumbu, pamba te mokolo ya Jizireyeli ekozala mokolo monene.
