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.
Слово Господне, которое было к Осии, сыну Беериину, во дни Озии, Иоафама, Ахаза, Езекии, царей Иудейских, и во дни Иеровоама, сына Иоасова, царя Израильского.
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).”
Начало слова Господня к Осии. И сказал Господь Осии: иди, возьми себе жену - блудницу и детей блуда; ибо сильно блудодействует земля сия, отступив от Господа.
3 So I married Gomer, the daughter of Diblaim. She became pregnant and gave birth to my son.
И пошел он и взял Гомерь, дочь Дивлаима; и она зачала и родила ему сына.
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,
И Господь сказал ему: нареки ему имя Изреель, потому что еще немного пройдет, и Я взыщу кровь Изрееля с дома Ииуева, и положу конец царству дома Израилева,
5 by destroying the power [MTY] of [the army of] Israel in Jezreel Valley.”
и будет в тот день, Я сокрушу лук Израилев в долине Изреель.
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].
И зачала еще, и родила дочь, и Он сказал ему: нареки ей имя Лорухама; ибо Я уже не буду более миловать дома Израилева, чтобы прощать им.
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].”
А дом Иудин помилую и спасу их в Господе Боге их, спасу их ни луком, ни мечом, ни войною, ни конями и всадниками.
8 After Gomer had (weaned/stopped breast-feeding) Lo-ruhamah, she became pregnant again, and she gave birth to another son.
И, откормив грудью Непомилованную, она зачала и родила сына.
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.
И сказал Он: нареки ему имя Лоамми, потому что вы не Мой народ и Я не буду вашим Богом.
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.’
Но будет число сынов Израилевых как песок морской, которого нельзя ни измерить, ни исчислить; и там, где говорили им: “вы не Мой народ”, будут говорить им: “вы сыны Бога живаго”.
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].”
И соберутся сыны Иудины и сыны Израилевы вместе, и поставят себе одну главу, и выйдут из земли переселения; ибо велик день Изрееля!
