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.
Men mesaj Seyè a te bay Oze, pitit Beeri, nan tan Ozyas, Jotam, Akaz ak Ezekyas te wa, yonn apre lòt, nan peyi Jida. Lè sa a, se Jewoboram, pitit Joas, ki te wa nan peyi Izrayèl.
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."
Premye fwa Seyè a t'ap bay Oze mesaj pou pèp Izrayèl la, li di l' konsa: -Leve non! Al marye ak yon fanm jennès nan san ki pral twonpe ou. Kanta pou pitit w'ap gen avè l' yo, y'ap gen menm san jennès la tou. Se konsa pèp la vire do ban mwen. Yo pa kenbe pawòl yo te gen avè m'.
3 So he went and took Gomer the daughter of Diblaim; and she conceived, and bore him a son.
Se konsa, Oze leve, li al marye ak Gomè, pitit fi Diblayim. Gomè vin ansent, li fè yon pitit gason.
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.
Seyè a di Oze konsa: -W'a rele l' Jizreyèl paske talè konsa, mwen pral pini wa Izrayèl la pou krim Jeou, zansèt li a, te fè lavil Jizreyèl. Mwen pral wete gouvènman an nan men moun ras Izrayèl yo.
5 It will happen in that day that I will break the bow of Israel in the Valley of Jezreel."
Jou sa a, m'ap kraze tout zam pèp Izrayèl yo nan Fon Jizreyèl la.
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.
Gomè vin ansent ankò. Li fè yon pitit fi. Lè sa a, Seyè a di Oze konsa: -W'a rele l' Lowouchama, paske m'ap san pitye pou moun Izrayèl yo ankò. p'ap gen padon pou yo.
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."
Men, m'ap gen pitye pou moun peyi Jida yo. Mwen menm, Seyè a, Bondye yo a, m'ap delivre yo. Men, mwen p'ap fè l' ni avèk flèch, ni avèk nepe, ni nan goumen, ni avèk chwal ak kavalye.
8 Now when she had weaned No Compassion, she conceived, and bore a son.
Apre Gomè fin sevre Lowouchama, li vin ansent ankò. Li fè yon pitit gason.
9 He said, "Call his name 'Not My People,' for you are 'Not my People' and I am 'Not your I AM.'
Lè sa a, Seyè a di Oze: -W'ap rele l' Lorami, paske moun peyi Izrayèl yo pa moun pa m' ankò. Mwen menm, mwen pa Bondye yo ankò.
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."
Moun pèp Izrayèl yo va tankou sab bò lanmè: moun p'ap ka ni konte yo, ni konnen kantite ki va genyen. Si koulye a Bondye ap di: Nou pa moun pa m' ankò, yon jou l'a di yo: Nou se pitit Bondye vivan an.
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.
Moun peyi Jida ak moun peyi Izrayèl va mete tèt yo ansanm ankò. Y'a chwazi yon sèl chèf pou mache alatèt yo. Y'a grandi. Zafè yo va mache nan peyi a. Wi, jou Jizreyèl la pral yon gwo jou.
