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.
Palavra do Senhor, que foi dita a Oseas, filho de Beeri, nos dias d'Uzias, Jothão, Achaz, Ezequias, reis de Judah, e nos dias de Jeroboão, filho de Joás, rei 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).”
O principio da palavra do Senhor por Oseas: disse pois o Senhor a Oseas: Vae, toma uma mulher de fornicações, e filhos de fornicações; porque a terra fornicando fornica, desviando-se de após o Senhor.
3 So I married Gomer, the daughter of Diblaim. She became pregnant and gave birth to my son.
E foi-se, e tomou a Gomer, filha de Diblaim, e ella concebeu, e lhe pariu um filho.
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,
E disse-lhe o Senhor: Chama o seu nome Jezreel; porque d'aqui a pouco visitarei o sangue de Jezreel sobre a casa de Jehu, e farei cessar o reino da casa de Israel.
5 by destroying the power [MTY] of [the army of] Israel in Jezreel Valley.”
E será n'aquelle dia que quebrarei o arco de Israel no 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].
E tornou ella a conceber, e pariu uma filha; e elle disse: Chama o seu nome Lo-ruhama; porque eu não me tornarei mais a compadecer da casa de Israel, mas tudo lhe tirarei.
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].”
Mas da casa de Judah me apiedarei, e os salvarei pelo Senhor seu Deus, pois não os salvarei pelo arco, nem pela espada, nem pela guerra, nem pelos cavallos nem pelos cavalleiros.
8 After Gomer had (weaned/stopped breast-feeding) Lo-ruhamah, she became pregnant again, and she gave birth to another son.
E, depois de haver desmamado a Lo-ruhama, concebeu e pariu um filho.
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.
E elle disse: Chama o seu nome Lo-ammi; porque vós não sois meu povo, nem eu serei vosso Deus.
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.’
Todavia o numero dos filhos de Israel será como a areia do mar, que não pode medir-se nem contar-se; e acontecerá que no logar onde se lhes dizia: Vós não sois meu povo, se lhes dirá: Vós sois filhos do Deus vivo.
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].”
E os filhos de Judah e os filhos de Israel juntos se congregarão, e constituirão sobre si uma unica cabeça, e subirão da terra; porque grande será o dia de Jezreel.
