< Hosea 1 >
1 [I am] Hosea, the son of Beeri. Yahweh gave me these messages [at various times] during the years that Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah were the kings of Judah, and Jeroboam the son of Jehoash was the King of Israel.
Hina Gode da Hosia (Bialai egefe) ema sia: adole i. Amo esoha galu, Asaia, Youdame, A:ihase amola Hesigaia da Yuda dunu fi ilima hina bagade galu. Amola Yelouboua: me (Yihoua: se egefe) da Isala: ili fi amo ilia hina bagade esalu.
2 When Yahweh first [began to] give messages to me [to tell to the people of Israel], he said to me, “Go and marry a prostitute. But [some of] her children will be born as a result of her having sex with men to whom she is not married. That will illustrate how the people of Israel have turned away from me and worship (idols/other gods).”
Hina Gode da bisili Hosia ea lafidili Isala: ili fi ilima adomusa: galea, E da Hosiama amane sia: i, “Di da asili uda lama. Be dia uda da di baligi fa: mu, amola dia mano da dia uda ea hou defele, hame nabasu mano ba: mu. Amo defele, Na fi dunu ilia da Na yolesili, baligi fa: i dagoi.
3 So I married Gomer, the daughter of Diblaim. She became pregnant and gave birth to my son.
Amaiba: le, Hosia da Dibala: ime ea uda mano Gouma amo lai dagoi. Amalalu ela da dunu mano lalelegei.
4 Yahweh said to me, “Give him the name Jezreel, [which means ‘God scatters’], because I will soon punish the descendants [MTY] of [King] Jehu [by scattering them], because he killed many of my people at Jezreel [town]. [Some day] I will end the kingdom of Israel,
Amalalu, Hina Gode da Hosiama amane sia: i, “Dia mano ea dio Yeseliele asulima. Bai Na da gadenenewane Isala: ili hina bagade ema se nabasu bagade imunu. Amo se imunu ea bai da ea aowa Yihiu da musa: Yeseliele moilai bai bagadega dunu bagohame medole lelegei. Na da Yihiu ea fi ouligisu hou dagolesimu.
5 by destroying the power [MTY] of [the army of] Israel in Jezreel Valley.”
Amola amo esoha, Na da Yeseliele Fago ganodini, Isala: ili fi ilia gegemusa: sasanega: nanusu wadela: lesimu.
6 [Later] Gomer became pregnant [again], and she gave birth to a daughter. Yahweh said to me “Give her the name Lo-ruhamah, [which means ‘not loved],’ because I will no longer [show that I] love the people [MET] of Israel, and I will not forgive them [for the sins that they have committed].
Gouma da mano eno lalelegei. Waha lalelegei amo da uda mano. Hina Gode da Hosiama amane sia: i, “Ea dio ‘Ema hame asigisa’ asulima. Bai Na da Isala: ili dunu huluanema bu hame asigimu, amola ilia wadela: i hou bu hame gogolema: ne olofomu.
7 But I will [show that I] love the people [MTY] of Judah [by saving them from their enemies]. However, it will not be by weapons and armies or horses and chariots that I will save them. Instead, it will be by [the power that I], Yahweh their God, [have].”
Be Na da Yuda dunuma asigimu. Na, ilia Hina Gode, da ili gaga: mu. Be amo gaga: su hou Na da gegesu amoga amola gegesu dadi amola gegesu gobihei sedade amola hosiga fila heda: le gegesu dunu, amoga hame hamomu.
8 After Gomer had (weaned/stopped breast-feeding) Lo-ruhamah, she became pregnant again, and she gave birth to another son.
Gouma da ea uda mano dodo fisilalu, abula eno agui ba: i. Amalu dunu mano eno lalelegei.
9 Yahweh said “Give him the name Lo-ammi, [which means 'not my people', ] because the people of Israel are no [longer my people], and I am not their God.
Hina Gode da Hosiama amane sia: i, “Mano ea dio ‘Na fi dunu hame’ amo asulima. Bai wali Isala: ili dunu da Na fi dunu hame. Amola Na da ilia Gode hame.”
10 But [some day] the people of Israel will be [as numerous] as [SIM] the [grains of] sand on the seashore; no one will be able to count them. Now [I] am saying to them, ‘You are not my people,’ but then people will say to them, ‘[You are the] children of God who is all-powerful.’
Isala: ili dunu fi da afadenene hano bega: bosoda: i dialebe agoai ba: mu. Bagadeba: le, idimu da hamedei ba: mu. Wali, Gode da ilima amane sia: sa, “Dili da Na dunu hame,” be eso da misunu amoga E da ilima amane sia: mu, “Dilia da Esalalalusu Gode Ea mano esala.”
11 [At that time], the people of Judah and the people of Israel will unite. They will appoint one leader for all of them, and they will return from the countries [to which they have been (exiled/forced to go)]. That will be a great time; Jezreel [also means ‘God plants’, and it will be as though God will plant them in this country again].”
Yuda fi dunu amola Isala: ili fi dunu ilia da bu gilisili fi afae hamoi ba: mu. Amola ilia da dunu afae amo ili ouligima: ne ilegemu. Amola ilia fi da bu heda: mu amola ilia soge ganodini hahawane esalumu. Dafawane! Yeseliele ea eso misunu hou da hou bagadedafa ba: mu.”
