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.
Palabra de Yahvé dirigida a Oseas, hijo de Beerí, en los días de Ocías, Joatam, 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).”
Comienzo de lo que habló Yahvé por Oseas. Dijo Yahvé a Oseas: “Ve y tómate una mujer fornicaria, y (ten) hijos de fornicación; porque la tierra comete fornicación, apartándose de Yahvé.”
3 So I married Gomer, the daughter of Diblaim. She became pregnant and gave birth to my son.
Fue y tomó a Gómer, hija de Diblaim; la cual concibió y le dio a luz 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 le dijo Yahvé: “Llámalo Jezrael, porque dentro de poco tomaré venganza de la casa de Jehú, por la sangre de Jezrael, y exterminaré el reino de la casa de Israel.
5 by destroying the power [MTY] of [the army of] Israel in Jezreel Valley.”
En aquel día quebraré el arco de Israel en la llanura de Jezrael.”
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 concibió ella otra vez y dio a luz una hija. Y (Yahvé) dijo al (profeta): “Ponle por nombre ‘Lo-Ruhama’, pues en adelante no usaré ya de misericordia con la casa de Israel para perdonarla.
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 me apiadaré de la casa de Judá, los salvaré por medio de Yahvé, su Dios. No los salvaré con arco ni con espada, ni mediante guerra, ni por medio de caballos o jinetes.”
8 After Gomer had (weaned/stopped breast-feeding) Lo-ruhamah, she became pregnant again, and she gave birth to another son.
Y destetado que hubo a Lo-Ruhama, volvió a concebir y dio a luz 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 dijo (Yahvé): “Llámalo ‘Lo-Ammí’, pues vosotros no sois ya mi pueblo, y Yo no soy más vuestro (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.’
El número de los hijos de Israel será como la arena del mar, que no tiene medida ni número, y en lugar de decírseles: «No sois mi pueblo», seréis llamados «hijos del Dios 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].”
Y se congregarán en uno los hijos de Israel y los hijos de Judá, y pondrán sobre sí un mismo caudillo, y saldrán del país: porque grande será el día de Jezrael.
