Hosea 1
1 The word of Yahweh which came unto Hosea son of Beeri, in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, Hezekiah, kings of Judah, —and in the days of Jeroboam 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 The beginning of the word of Yahweh with Hosea, was, —that Yahweh said unto Hosea, Go take thee a woman of unchastity, and the children of unchastity, for, unchastely indeed, hath the land been going away from following Yahweh.
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, 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 Then said Yahweh unto him, Call his name Jezreel: for, yet a little, and I will visit the bloodshed of Jezreel upon the house of Jehu, and will cause to cease the kingdom of the house of Israel.
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, in that day, that I will break the bow of Israel, in the vale of Jezreel.
Mũthenya ũcio-rĩ, nĩngoinanga ũta wa Isiraeli Gĩtuamba-inĩ kĩa Jezireeli.”
6 Then conceived she again and bare a daughter, and he said to him, Call her name Lo-ruhamah ["Uncompassionated"], —for, not again any more, will I have compassion upon the house of Israel, that I should, forgive, 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, on the house of Judah, will I have compassion, and I will save them, as Yahweh their God, —but will not save them by bow, or by sword, or by battle, by horses, or 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 And, when she had weaned Lo-ruhamah, she conceived, and bare a son.
Thuutha wa gũtigithia Lo-Ruhama kuonga-rĩ, Gomeri agĩciara kahĩĩ kangĩ.
9 Then said he, Call his name Lo-ammi ["No people of mine"], —for ye are Lo-ammi ["No people of mine"], and, I, will not be yours.
Nake Jehova akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Gatue Lo-Ammi, nĩ ũndũ inyuĩ mũtirĩ andũ akwa, na niĩ ndirĩ Ngai wanyu.
10 Yet shall the number of the sons of Israel become like the sand of the sea, which can neither he measured, nor numbered, —and it shall come to pass, in the place where it used to be said to them, No people of mine, are ye, it shall be said to them, Sons of a 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 Then shall the sons of Judah and the sons of Israel, gather themselves together, as one, and shall appoint them one head, and come up out of the earth, —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.
