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.
Ο λόγος του Κυρίου ο γενόμενος προς Ωσηέ τον υιόν του Βεηρί, εν ταις ημέραις Οζίου, Ιωάθαμ, Άχαζ και Εζεκίου, βασιλέων του Ιούδα, και εν ταις ημέραις Ιεροβοάμ, υιού του Ιωάς, βασιλέως του Ισραήλ.
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).”
Αρχή του λόγου του Κυρίου διά του Ωσηέ. Και είπε Κύριος προς τον Ωσηέ, Ύπαγε, λάβε εις σεαυτόν γυναίκα πορνείας και τέκνα πορνείας· διότι η γη κατεπόρνευσε, εκκλίνασα από όπισθεν του Κυρίου.
3 So I married Gomer, the daughter of Diblaim. She became pregnant and gave birth to my son.
Και υπήγε και έλαβε την Γόμερ, θυγατέρα του Δεβηλαΐμ· και συνέλαβε και εγέννησεν εις αυτόν υιόν.
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,
Και είπε Κύριος προς αυτόν, Κάλεσον το όνομα αυτού Ιεζραέλ· διότι έτι ολίγον και θέλω εκδικήσει το αίμα του Ιεζραέλ επί τον οίκον Ιηού, και θέλω καταπαύσει την βασιλείαν του οίκου Ισραήλ.
5 by destroying the power [MTY] of [the army of] Israel in Jezreel Valley.”
Και εν τη ημέρα εκείνη θέλω συντρίψει το τόξον του Ισραήλ εν τη κοιλάδι του Ιεζραέλ.
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].
Και συνέλαβεν έτι και εγέννησε θυγατέρα. Και είπε προς αυτόν, Κάλεσον το όνομα αυτής Λό-ρουχαμμά· διότι δεν θέλω ελεήσει πλέον τον οίκον Ισραήλ αλλά θέλω σηκώσει αυτούς διόλου.
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].”
Τον δε οίκον Ιούδα θέλω ελεήσει και θέλω σώσει αυτούς διά Κυρίου του Θεού αυτών, και δεν θέλω σώσει αυτούς διά τόξου ουδέ διά ρομφαίας ουδέ διά πολέμου, διά ίππων ουδέ διά ιππέων.
8 After Gomer had (weaned/stopped breast-feeding) Lo-ruhamah, she became pregnant again, and she gave birth to another son.
Και αφού απεγαλάκτισε την Λό-ρουχαμμά, συνέλαβε και εγέννησεν υιόν.
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.
Και είπε Κύριος, Κάλεσον το όνομα αυτού Λό-αμμί· διότι σεις δεν είσθε λαός μου και εγώ δεν θέλω είσθαι υμών.
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.’
Ο αριθμός όμως των υιών Ισραήλ θέλει είσθαι ως η άμμος της θαλάσσης, ήτις δεν δύναται να μετρηθή ουδέ να εξαριθμηθή και εν τω τόπω όπου ελέχθη προς αυτούς, δεν είσθε λαός μου, εκεί θέλει λεχθή προς αυτούς, Υιοί του Θεού του ζώντος.
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].”
Τότε θέλουσι συναχθή ομού οι υιοί Ιούδα και οι υιοί Ισραήλ, και θέλουσι καταστήσει εις εαυτούς αρχηγόν ένα, και θέλουσιν αναβή εκ της γής· διότι μεγάλη θέλει είσθαι η ημέρα του Ιεζραέλ.
