< Hosea 1 >

1 The word of YHWH 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.
قَوْلُ ٱلرَّبِّ ٱلَّذِي صَارَ إِلَى هُوشَعَ بْنِ بِئِيرِي، فِي أَيَّامِ عُزِّيَّا وَيُوثَامَ وَآحَازَ وَحَزَقِيَّا مُلُوكِ يَهُوذَا، وَفِي أَيَّامِ يَرُبْعَامَ بْنِ يُوآشَ مَلِكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ.١
2 When YHWH spoke at the first by Hosea, YHWH said to Hosea, "Go, take for yourself a wife of prostitution and children of unfaithfulness; for the land commits great adultery, forsaking YHWH."
أَوَّلَ مَا كَلَّمَ ٱلرَّبُّ هُوشَعَ، قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِهُوشَعَ: «ٱذْهَبْ خُذْ لِنَفْسِكَ ٱمْرَأَةَ زِنًى وَأَوْلَادَ زِنًى، لِأَنَّ ٱلْأَرْضَ قَدْ زَنَتْ زِنًى تَارِكَةً ٱلرَّبَّ».٢
3 So he went and took Gomer the daughter of Diblaim; and she conceived, and bore him a son.
فَذَهَبَ وَأَخَذَ جُومَرَ بِنْتَ دِبْلَايِمَ، فَحَبِلَتْ وَوَلَدَتْ لَهُ ٱبْنًا،٣
4 YHWH 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.
فَقَالَ لَهُ ٱلرَّبُّ: «ٱدْعُ ٱسْمَهُ يَزْرَعِيلَ، لِأَنَّنِي بَعْدَ قَلِيلٍ أُعَاقِبُ بَيْتَ يَاهُو عَلَى دَمِ يَزْرَعِيلَ، وَأُبِيدُ مَمْلَكَةَ بَيْتِ إِسْرَائِيلَ.٤
5 It will happen in that day that I will break the bow of Israel in the Valley of Jezreel."
وَيَكُونُ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ أَنِّي أَكْسِرُ قَوْسَ إِسْرَائِيلَ فِي وَادِي يَزْرَعِيلَ».٥
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.
ثُمَّ حَبِلَتْ أَيْضًا وَوَلَدَتْ بِنْتًا، فَقَالَ لَهُ: «ٱدْعُ ٱسْمَهَا لُورُحَامَةَ، لِأَنِّي لَا أَعُودُ أَرْحَمُ بَيْتَ إِسْرَائِيلَ أَيْضًا، بَلْ أَنْزِعُهُمْ نَزْعًا.٦
7 But I will have mercy on the house of Judah, and will save them by YHWH their God, and will not save them by bow, or by sword, or by battle, or by chariots, or by horses, or by horsemen."
وَأَمَّا بَيْتُ يَهُوذَا فَأَرْحَمُهُمْ وَأُخَلِّصُهُمْ بِٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِهِمْ، وَلَا أُخَلِّصُهُمْ بِقَوْسٍ وَبِسَيْفٍ وَبِحَرْبٍ وَبِخَيْلٍ وَبِفُرْسَانٍ».٧
8 Now when she had weaned No Compassion, she conceived, and bore a son.
ثُمَّ فَطَمَتْ لُورُحَامَةَ وَحَبِلَتْ فَوَلَدَتِ ٱبْنًا،٨
9 He said, "Call his name 'Not My People,' for you are 'Not my People' and I am 'Not your I AM.'
فَقَالَ: «ٱدْعُ ٱسْمَهُ لُوعَمِّي، لِأَنَّكُمْ لَسْتُمْ شَعْبِي وَأَنَا لَا أَكُونُ لَكُمْ.٩
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."
لَكِنْ يَكُونُ عَدَدُ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ كَرَمْلِ ٱلْبَحْرِ ٱلَّذِي لَا يُكَالُ وَلَا يُعَدُّ، وَيَكُونُ عِوَضًا عَنْ أَنْ يُقَالَ لَهُمْ: لَسْتُمْ شَعْبِي، يُقَالُ لَهُمْ: أَبْنَاءُ ٱللهِ ٱلْحَيِّ.١٠
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.
وَيُجْمَعُ بَنُو يَهُوذَا وَبَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ مَعًا وَيَجْعَلُونَ لِأَنْفُسِهِمْ رَأْسًا وَاحِدًا، وَيَصْعَدُونَ مِنَ ٱلْأَرْضِ، لِأَنَّ يَوْمَ يَزْرَعِيلَ عَظِيمٌ.١١
