Hosea 1
1 The word of Jehovah, which came to Hoses, 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.
Naʻe hoko ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova kia Hosea, ko e foha ʻo Peli, ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ʻo ʻUsia, mo Sotame, mo ʻAhasi, mo Hesekaia, ko e ngaahi tuʻi ʻo Siuta, pea ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ʻo Selopoami ko e foha ʻo Soasi, ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli.
2 The beginning of the word of Jehovah by Hosea. Jehovah said to Hosea: Go, and take thee a wife of lewdness, and children of lewdness; for the land hath committed great lewdness; it is false to Jehovah.
Ko hono kamataʻanga ʻoe folofola ʻa Sihova ia Hosea. Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Sihova kia Hosea, “ʻAlu, ʻo ʻomi kiate koe ha uaifi mei he feʻauaki mo e fānau ʻae feʻauaki: he kuo fai ʻe he fonua ʻae feʻauaki lahi, ʻonau mahuʻi meia Sihova.”
3 So he went, and took Gomer, the daughter of Diblaim; and she conceived and bore him a son.
Pea naʻe ʻalu ia ʻo ne ʻomi ʻa Komela, ko e ʻofefine ʻo Tipilemi; pea naʻe tuituʻia ia mo fanauʻi ha tama tangata kiate ia.
4 And Jehovah said to him, Call his name Jezreel; for yet a little while, and I will avenge the blood of Jezreel upon the house of Jehu, and will bring the kingdom of the house of Israel to an end.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Sihova kiate ia, “Ke ke ui hono hingoa ko Sesilili; he ʻoku toetoe siʻi, pea te u totongi ʻae toto ʻo Sesilili ki he fale ʻo Sehu, pea te u fakangata ʻae puleʻanga ʻoe fale ʻo ʻIsileli.
5 Yea, in that day will I break the bow of Israel in the valley of Jezreel.
Pea ʻe hoko ʻi he ʻaho ko ia te u fesiʻi ʻae kaufana ʻa ʻIsileli, ʻi he teleʻa ʻo Sesilili.”
6 And she conceived again, and bore a daughter. And God said to him, Call her name Unpitied; for I will no more have pity upon the house of Israel, but will surely take them away.
Pea naʻe toe tuituʻia ia, pea fanauʻi ha tama fefine. Pea naʻe pehē [ʻe he ʻOtua ]kiate ia, “Ke ke ui hono hingoa ko Loluhama: koeʻuhi ʻe ʻikai te u toe ʻaloʻofa ki he fale ʻo ʻIsileli, ka te u mātuʻaki ʻave ʻakinautolu.
7 But upon the house of Judah will I have pity, and will save them by Jehovah their God; I will not save them by bow, nor by sword, nor by battle, nor by horses, nor by horsemen.
Ka te u ʻaloʻofa ki he fale ʻo Siuta, pea te u fakamoʻui kinautolu ʻia Sihova ko e ʻOtua, ka ʻe ʻikai te u fakamoʻui ʻaki kinautolu ʻae kaufana, pe ko e heletā, pe ko e tau, pe ko e fanga hoosi, pe ko e kau tangata heka hoosi.”
8 Then she weaned her daughter Unpitied, and conceived, and bore a son.
Pea hili ʻene fakamāvae ʻa Loluhama, naʻa ne tuituʻia pea fāʻeleʻi ha tama tangata.
9 And God said, Call his name Not-my-people. For ye are not my people, and I will not be your God.
Pea naʻe toki pehē [ʻe he ʻOtua], “Ke ke ui hono hingoa ko Loami: he ‘ʻoku ʻikai ko hoku kakai’ ʻakimoutolu, pea ʻoku ʻikai ko homou ʻOtua au.
10 Yet the number of the children of Israel shall be as the sand of the sea, which cannot be measured, or numbered; and in the place where it was said to them, Ye are not my people, there shall it be said to them, Ye are the sons of the living God.
Ka ko hono tokolahi ʻoe fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, ʻe hangē ko e ʻoneʻone ʻoe tahi ʻaia ʻe ʻikai faʻa fua pe lau; pea ʻe hoko ʻi he potu naʻe pehē kiate kinautolu, ‘ʻOku ʻikai ko hoku kakai ʻakimoutolu,’ ʻe pehē ʻi ai kiate kinautolu, ‘Ko e ngaahi foha ʻakimoutolu ʻoe ʻOtua moʻui.’
11 Then shall the sons of Judah and the sons of Israel be gathered together, and shall appoint to themselves one head, and shall come up out of the land. For great shall be the day of Jezreel.
Pea ʻe toki tānaki fakataha ʻae fānau ʻa Siuta mo e fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, pea ʻe tuʻutuʻuni ha ʻulu pe taha moʻonautolu, pea te nau haʻu mei he fonua: koeʻuhi ʻe lahi ʻae ʻaho ʻo Sesilili.
