Hosea 1
1 The Lord’s message to Hosea son of Beeri during the reigns of Kings Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah of Judah and during the reign of King Jeroboam, son of Joash of Israel.
Verbum Domini, quod factum est ad Osee filium Beeri, in diebus Oziæ, Ioathan, Achaz, Ezechiæ regum Iuda, et in diebus Ieroboam filii Ioas regis Israel.
2 When the Lord began to speak through Hosea, he said to him: “Go marry an unfaithful woman who will bear you children by her adultery, for like an adulterous wife the land is unfaithful to the Lord.”
Principium loquendi Domino in Osee: et dixit Dominus ad Osee: Vade, sume tibi uxorem fornicationum, et fac tibi filios fornicationum: quia fornicans fornicabitur terra a Domino.
3 So he married Gomer, the daughter of Dibliam, and when she conceived and bore him a son,
Et abiit, et accepit Gomer filiam Debelaim: et concepit, et peperit ei filium.
4 the Lord said: “Call him ‘Jezreel,’ for in a little while I will punish the dynasty of Jehu for the blood shed at the valley of Jezreel, I will cause the kingdom of Israel to cease.
Et dixit Dominus ad eum: Voca nomen eius Iezrahel: quoniam adhuc modicum, et visitabo sanguinem Iezrahel super domum Iehu, et quiescere faciam regnum domus Israel.
5 On that day, I will break Israel’s bows and arrows in the valley of Jezreel.”
Et in illa die conteram arcum Israel in valle Iezrahel.
6 When she conceived again and bore a daughter, the Lord said to Hosea: “Call her Lo-Ruhamah – ‘No-Compassion’ for I will no longer have compassion on Israel, certainly not spare them.
Et concepit adhuc, et peperit filiam. Et dixit ei: Voca nomen eius Absque Misericordia: quia non addam ultra misereri domui Israel, sed oblivione obliviscar eorum.
7 But on Judah I will have compassion, I will deliver them by the Lord their God, but I will not deliver them by bow nor by sword, nor by battle nor by horses nor by horsemen.”
Et domui Iuda miserebor, et salvabo eos in Domino Deo suo: et non salvabo eos in arcu, et gladio, et in bello, et in equis, et in equitibus.
8 After she had weaned No-Compassion, and when she conceived and bore a son, he said:
Et ablactavit eam, quæ erat Absque Misericordia. Et concepit, et peperit filium.
9 “Call him Lo-Ammi – ‘Not-My-People’ for you, Israel, are not my people, and I indeed am not your God.”
Et dixit: Voca nomen eius: Non Populus Meus: quia vos non populus meus, et ego non ero vester.
10 Yet the number of the Israelites will be as the sand of the sea, which cannot be measured or counted, and where they were told, “You are not my people,” they will be called, “children of the living God.”
Et erit numerus filiorum Israel quasi arena maris, quæ sine mensura est, et non numerabitur. Et erit in loco ubi dicetur eis: Non populus meus vos: dicetur eis: Filii Dei viventis.
11 The Judeans and the Israelites will join together again, will appoint for themselves one leader, will return to their own land. Great will be the day of Jezreel!
Et congregabuntur filii Iuda, et filii Israel pariter: et ponent sibimet caput unum, et ascendent de terra: quia magnus dies Iezrahel.
