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.
Okwu Onyenwe anyị nke bịakwutere Hosiya nwa Beiri nʼoge Uzaya, na Jotam, na Ehaz, na Hezekaya, bụ ndị eze Juda, na nʼoge Jeroboam nwa Jehoash bụ eze nʼIzrel.
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."
Na mmalite okwu Onyenwe anyị site nʼọnụ Hosiya, Onyenwe anyị gwara Hosiya sị, “Gaa lụtara onwe gị nwanyị na-akwa iko na ụmụ amụtara nʼịkwa iko, nʼihi na dịka nwanyị alụrụ alụ nʼakwa iko, ala a na-akwa iko nke ukwu site nʼịgbahapụ Onyenwe anyị.”
3 So he went and took Gomer the daughter of Diblaim; and she conceived, and bore him a son.
Ya mere, ọ gara lụọ Goma nwa Diblaim, onye tụụrụ ime mụọra ya nwa nwoke.
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.
Onyenwe anyị gwara ya, “Aha ị ga-agụ nwantakịrị ahụ bụ Jezril. Nʼihi na tupu nwa oge nta agafee, aga m ata ezinaụlọ Jehu ahụhụ nʼihi ọbara ọ wụsiri na Jezril. Aga m eme ka alaeze nke ụlọ Izrel kwụsị.
5 It will happen in that day that I will break the bow of Israel in the Valley of Jezreel."
Nʼụbọchị ahụ, aga m agbaji ụta Izrel na Ndagwurugwu Jezril.”
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.
Emesịa, Goma tụụrụ ime ọzọ, mụta nwa nwanyị. Ọ gwara ya, “Aha ị ga-agụ ya bụ Lo-Ruhama, nʼihi na agaghị m enwekwa obi ebere ọzọ nʼahụ ụlọ Izrel, ịgbaghara ha mmehie ha.
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."
Ma aga m enwe obi ebere nʼahụ ụlọ Juda. Mụ onwe m ga-azọpụta ha site na Onyenwe anyị bụ Chineke ha. Agaghị m eji ngwa agha ọbụla, dịka ụta maọbụ mma agha maọbụ ike ibu agha maọbụ ịnyịnya maọbụ ndị na-agba ịnyịnya zọpụta ha.”
8 Now when she had weaned No Compassion, she conceived, and bore a son.
Mgbe ọ jụrụ Lo-Ruhama ara, ọ tụụrụ ime ọzọ, mụọ nwa nwoke.
9 He said, "Call his name 'Not My People,' for you are 'Not my People' and I am 'Not your I AM.'
Onyenwe anyị sịrị, “Kpọọ aha ya Lo-ammi, nke pụtara unu abụghị ndị m, nʼihi na unu abụghị ndị nke m, mụ onwe m abụkwaghị Chineke unu.
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."
“Ma ọnụọgụgụ ụmụ Izrel ga-adị ka aja dị nʼọnụ oke osimiri nke a na-apụghị ịgụta ọnụ maọbụ tụọ nʼihe ọtụtụ. Nʼebe ahụ a nọ sị ha, ‘Unu abụghị ndị m,’ nʼebe ahụ ka a ga-anọ sịkwa ha, ‘Ụmụ Chineke dị ndụ ka unu bụ.’
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.
A ga-achịkọtakwa ndị Juda na ndị Izrel ọnụ. Ha ga-ahọpụtakwara onwe ha otu onyeisi, si nʼala ahụ rigopụta, nʼihi ihe ukwu ka ụbọchị Jezril ga-abụ.
