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.
La palabra del Señor que vino a Oseas, hijo de Beeri, en los días de Uzías, Jotam, Acaz y Ezequías, reyes de Judá, y en los días de Jeroboam, hijo de Joás, rey de Israel.
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).”
El comienzo de la palabra del Señor por Oseas: Y el Señor le dijo a Oseas: Ve, toma para ti una esposa prostituta y ten hijos de fornicación, porque han cometido una gran prostitución, la tierra de Israel se ha apartado del Señor.
3 So I married Gomer, the daughter of Diblaim. She became pregnant and gave birth to my son.
Entonces él tomó como su esposa Gomer, la hija de Diblaim, y ella dio a luz a un hijo.
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,
Y el Señor le dijo: Dale el nombre de Jezreel, porque después de un tiempo enviaré el castigo por la sangre de Jezreel en la línea de Jehú, y pondré fin al reino de Israel.
5 by destroying the power [MTY] of [the army of] Israel in Jezreel Valley.”
Y en ese día dejaré que se rompa el arco de Israel en el valle de Jezreel.
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].
Y después de eso dio a luz a una hija. Y el Señor dijo: Dale el nombre de Lo-rohama; porque nunca más tendré misericordia de Israel, nunca los perdonaré.
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].”
Pero tendré misericordia de Judá y les daré salvación por el Señor su Dios, pero no por el arco o la espada o por la lucha o por caballos o jinetes.
8 After Gomer had (weaned/stopped breast-feeding) Lo-ruhamah, she became pregnant again, and she gave birth to another son.
Ahora, cuando Lo-ruhama había sido destetada, la mujer dio a luz a un hijo.
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.
Y el Señor dijo: Denle el nombre de Lo-ammi; porque tú no eres mi pueblo, y yo no seré tu Dios.
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.’
Pero aún así el número de los hijos de Israel será como la arena del mar, que no puede medirse ni contarse; y en lugar de que se les diga: Tú no eres mi pueblo, se les dirá: Ustedes son los hijos del Dios viviente.
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].”
Y los hijos de Israel y los hijos de Judá se juntarán y tomarán para sí un sólo jefe, y subirán de la tierra, porque grande será el día de Jezreel.
