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 parole de l'Éternel qui fut adressée à Osée, fils de Beéri, dans le temps de Hosias, de Jotham, d'Achaz, d'Ézéchias, rois de Juda, et dans le temps de Jéroboam, fils de Joas, roi d'Israël.
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).”
Quand l'Éternel commença à parler à Osée, l'Éternel dit à Osée: Va, prends-toi une femme impure et des enfants impurs, car le pays pour se livrer à l'impureté quitte l'Éternel.
3 So I married Gomer, the daughter of Diblaim. She became pregnant and gave birth to my son.
Et il alla, et prit Gomer, fille de Diblaïm; et elle devint enceinte et lui enfanta un fils.
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,
Et l'Éternel lui dit: Appelle-le du nom de Jizréel, car encore un peu de temps et je vengerai sur la maison de Jéhu le sang versé à Jizréel, et je mettrai fin au royaume de la maison d'Israël.
5 by destroying the power [MTY] of [the army of] Israel in Jezreel Valley.”
Et il arrivera dans ce jour-là que je briserai l'arc d'Israël dans la vallée de Jizréel.
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].
Et elle devint encore enceinte, et enfanta une fille. Et Il lui dit: Appelle-la du nom de Disgraciée, car désormais je ne donnerai plus ma grâce à la maison d'Israël, pour lui pardonner.
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].”
Mais à la maison de Juda je veux donner ma grâce, et la sauver par l'Éternel, son Dieu, et je ne la sauverai ni par l'arc, ni par l'épée, ni par la guerre, ni par les chevaux, ni par la cavalerie.
8 After Gomer had (weaned/stopped breast-feeding) Lo-ruhamah, she became pregnant again, and she gave birth to another son.
Et elle sevra Disgraciée, et elle conçut et enfanta un fils.
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.
Et Il dit: Appelle-le du nom de Tu-n'es-pas-mon-peuple; car vous n'êtes pas mon peuple, et moi je ne suis plus à vous.
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.’
Mais elle ne reconnaît pas que c'est moi qui lui ai donné le blé et le moût et l'huile, et en abondance l'argent et l'or dont ils ont fait un Baal.
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].”
Aussi je retirerai mon blé dans sa saison et mon moût à son époque, et reprendrai ma laine et mon lin, couverture de sa nudité.
