Hosea 1
1 The word of the LORD that came unto 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.
Ĩno nĩyo ndũmĩrĩri ya Jehova ĩrĩa yakinyĩrĩire Hosea mũrũ wa Beeri hĩndĩ ya wathani wa Uzia, na wa Jothamu, na wa Ahazu, na wa Hezekia athamaki a Juda, na hĩndĩ ya wathani wa Jeroboamu mũrũ wa Joashu mũthamaki wa Isiraeli:
2 When the LORD spake at the first by Hosea, the LORD said unto Hosea, Go, take unto thee a wife of whoredom and children of whoredom: for the land doth commit great whoredom, departing from the LORD.
Rĩrĩa Jehova aambĩrĩirie kwaria na kanua ka Hosea, Jehova aamwĩrire atĩrĩ, “Thiĩ, ũkahikie mũtumia mũmaraya na ũgĩe na ciana cia ũmaraya, tondũ andũ a bũrũri nĩmehĩtie, na ũndũ wa ũtharia mũũru mũno wa gũtirika Jehova.”
3 So he went and took Gomer the daughter of Diblaim; and she conceived, and bare him a son.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Hosea akĩhikia Gomeri mwarĩ wa Dibilaimu, nake akĩgĩa nda na akĩmũciarĩra mwana wa kahĩĩ.
4 And the LORD said unto 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 cause the kingdom of the house of Israel to cease.
Nake Jehova akĩĩra Hosea atĩrĩ, “Gatue Jezireeli, tondũ nĩngũherithia nyũmba ya Jehu o narua nĩ ũndũ wa ũragani mũnene ooraganire kũu Jezireeli, na niine ũthamaki wa Isiraeli.
5 And it shall come to pass at that day, that I will break the bow of Israel in the valley of Jezreel.
Mũthenya ũcio-rĩ, nĩngoinanga ũta wa Isiraeli Gĩtuamba-inĩ kĩa Jezireeli.”
6 And she conceived again, and bare a daughter. And [the LORD] said unto him, Call her name Lo-ruhamah: for I will no more have mercy upon the house of Israel, that I should in any wise pardon them.
Gomeri akĩgĩa nda rĩngĩ na agĩciara mwana wa kairĩtu. Nake Jehova akĩĩra Hosea atĩrĩ, “Gatue Lo-Ruhama, nĩgũkorwo ndigacooka kuonania wendo rĩngĩ kũrĩ nyũmba ya Isiraeli, atĩ ndĩmarekere o na atĩa.
7 But I will have mercy upon the house of Judah, and will save them by the LORD their God, and will not save them by bow, nor by sword, nor by battle, by horses, nor by horsemen.
No nĩngonania wendo kũrĩ nyũmba ya Juda; na nĩngamahonokia, na ti na ũndũ wa ũta, kana rũhiũ rwa njora kana mbaara, kana na mbarathi na ahaici acio, no nĩ ũndũ wa Jehova Ngai wao.”
8 Now when she had weaned Lo-ruhamah, she conceived, and bare a son.
Thuutha wa gũtigithia Lo-Ruhama kuonga-rĩ, Gomeri agĩciara kahĩĩ kangĩ.
9 And [the LORD] said, Call his name Lo-ammi: for ye are not my people, and I will not be your [God].
Nake Jehova akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Gatue Lo-Ammi, nĩ ũndũ inyuĩ mũtirĩ andũ akwa, na niĩ ndirĩ Ngai wanyu.
10 Yet the number of the children of Israel shall be as the sand of the sea, which cannot be measured nor numbered; and it shall come to pass that, in the place where it was said unto them, Ye are not my people, it shall be said unto them, [Ye are] the sons of the living God.
“No rĩrĩ, andũ a Isiraeli magaatuĩka ta mũthanga wa hũgũrũrũ-inĩ cia iria, ũrĩa ũtangĩthimĩka kana ũtarĩke. O handũ harĩa merĩirwo atĩrĩ, ‘Inyuĩ mũtirĩ andũ akwa’, no ho mageetwo ‘ariũ a Ngai ũrĩa ũrĩ muoyo’.
11 And the children of Judah and the children of Israel shall be gathered together, and they shall appoint themselves one head, and shall go up from the land: for great shall be the day of Jezreel.
Nao andũ a Juda na andũ a Isiraeli nĩmagacookanĩrĩra rĩngĩ, na nĩmagathuura mũndũ ũmwe amatongorie, nao nĩmakoima bũrũri ũcio, nĩgũkorwo mũthenya wa Jezireeli nĩũgaatuĩka mũthenya mũnene.
