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.
Ito ang salita ni Yahweh na dumating kay Hosea, na anak na lalaki ni Beeri sa panahon nina Uzias, Jotam, Ahaz, at Hezekias na mga hari ng Juda, at sa panahon ni Jeroboam, na anak na lalaki ni Jehoas na hari ng 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).”
Noong unang magsalita si Yahweh sa pamamagitan ni Hosea, sinabi niya sa kaniya, “Humayo ka, mag-asawa ka ng babaing nagbebenta ng aliw. Magkakaroon siya ng mga anak na bunga ng kaniyang pagbebenta ng aliw. Sapagkat nagkakasala ang lupain ng matinding gawain ng pagbebenta ng aliw habang tinatalikuran ako.”
3 So I married Gomer, the daughter of Diblaim. She became pregnant and gave birth to my son.
Kaya, humayo si Hosea at pinakasalan si Gomer na anak na babae ni Diblaim, at nagbuntis siya at nagsilang siya sa kaniya ng isang anak na lalaki.
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,
Sinabi ni Yahweh kay Hosea, “Tawagin mo siya sa pangalang Jezreel. Sapagkat hindi magtatagal, paparusahan ko ang sambahayan ni Jehu dahil sa pagdanak ng dugo sa Jezreel at wawakasan ko ang kaharian ng sambahayan ni Israel.
5 by destroying the power [MTY] of [the army of] Israel in Jezreel Valley.”
Mangyayari ito sa araw na iyon na babaliin ko ang pana ng Israel sa lambak ng 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].
Nagbuntis muli si Gomer at nagsilang ng isang anak na babae. At sinabi ni Yahweh kay Hosea, “Tawagin mo siya sa pangalang Lo-ruhama, sapagkat hindi na ako mahahabag sa sambahayan ni Israel, ni dapat ko pa silang patawarin.
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].”
Ngunit mahahabag ako sa sambahayan ni Juda, at ako mismo, si Yahweh na kanilang Diyos ang magliligtas sa kanila. Hindi ko sila ililigtas sa pamamagitan ng pana, espada, digmaan, mga kabayo, o ng mga mangangabayo.”
8 After Gomer had (weaned/stopped breast-feeding) Lo-ruhamah, she became pregnant again, and she gave birth to another son.
Nang maawat ni Gomer si Lo-ruhama sa pagsuso, nagbuntis siya at nagsilang ng isa pang anak na lalaki.
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.
At sinabi ni Yahweh, “Tawagin mo siya sa pangalang Lo-ammi, sapagkat hindi ko kayo mga tao at hindi ako ang inyong Diyos.
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.’
Ngunit ang bilang ng mga tao ng Israel ay magiging tulad ng buhangin sa dalampasigan, na hindi masusukat o mabibilang. Mangyayari ito kung saan sinabi sa kanila na, 'Hindi ko kayo mga tao,' sasabihin ito sa kanila, 'Kayo ay mga tao ng buhay na Diyos.'
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].”
Titipunin ang mga tao ng Juda at mga tao ng Israel. Magtatalaga sila ng isang pinuno para sa kanila at lalabas sila mula sa lupain, sapagkat magiging dakila ang araw ng Jezreel.
