< Hosea 1 >
1 [the] word of Yahweh - which it came to Hosea [the] son of Beeri in [the] days of Uzziah Jotham Ahaz Hezekiah [the] kings of Judah and in [the] days of Jeroboam [the] son of Joash [the] 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 [the] beginning [when] he spoke Yahweh by Hosea. And he said Yahweh to Hosea go take for yourself a wife of prostitution and children of prostitution for continually it prostitutes itself the land from after Yahweh.
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 And he went and he took Gomer [the] daughter of Diblaim and she conceived and she bore to him a son.
Ya mere, ọ gara lụọ Goma nwa Diblaim, onye tụụrụ ime mụọra ya nwa nwoke.
4 And he said Yahweh to him call name his Jezreel for yet a little and I will visit [the] blood of Jezreel on [the] house of Jehu and I will put an end to [the] kingdom of [the] house of Israel.
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 And it will be on the day that and I will break [the] bow of Israel in [the] valley of Jezreel.
Nʼụbọchị ahụ, aga m agbaji ụta Izrel na Ndagwurugwu Jezril.”
6 And she conceived again and she bore a daughter and he said to him call name her Lo-Ruhamah for not I will repeat again I will have compassion on [the] house of Israel that certainly I will forgive 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 And [the] house of Judah I will have compassion on and I will save them by Yahweh God their and not I will save them by bow and by sword and by battle by horses and 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 And she weaned Lo-Ruhamah and she conceived and she bore a son.
Mgbe ọ jụrụ Lo-Ruhama ara, ọ tụụrụ ime ọzọ, mụọ nwa nwoke.
9 And he said call name his Lo-Ammi for you not [are] people my and I not I will belong to you.
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 And it will be [the] number of [the] people of Israel like [the] sand of the sea which not it will be measured and not it will be counted and it will be in [the] place where it was said to them not [are] people my you it will be said to them children of [the] God living.
“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 And they will be gathered [the] people of Judah and [the] people of Israel together and they will appoint for themselves a chief one and they will go up from the land for [will be] great [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.
