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.
Ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa tí ó tọ Hosea ọmọ Beeri wá ní àkókò ìjọba Ussiah, Jotamu, Ahasi àti Hesekiah; àwọn ọba Juda àti ní àkókò ọba Jeroboamu ọmọ Jehoaṣi ní Israẹli.
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).”
Nígbà tí Olúwa bẹ̀rẹ̀ sí ní sọ̀rọ̀ láti ẹnu Hosea, Olúwa wí fún un pé, “Lọ, fẹ́ àgbèrè obìnrin kan fún ara rẹ, kí ó sì bí ọmọ àgbèrè fún ọ nípasẹ̀ àwọn ọkùnrin mìíràn, nítorí ilẹ̀ ti ṣẹ ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ àgbèrè púpọ̀ nípa yíyapa kúrò lọ́dọ̀ Olúwa.”
3 So I married Gomer, the daughter of Diblaim. She became pregnant and gave birth to my son.
Nígbà náà ni ó sì lọ, ó sì fẹ́ Gomeri ọmọbìnrin Diblaimu, ọmọbìnrin náà sì lóyún, ó sì bí ọmọkùnrin kan fún un.
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,
Nígbà náà ni Olúwa sọ fún Hosea pé, “Pe orúkọ ọmọ náà ní Jesreeli, nítorí pé láìpẹ́ ni èmi yóò jẹ ìdílé Jehu ní ìyà fún ẹ̀jẹ̀ àwọn ènìyàn tó pa ní ìpakúpa ní Jesreeli, Èmi yóò sì mú ìjọba Israẹli wá sí òpin.
5 by destroying the power [MTY] of [the army of] Israel in Jezreel Valley.”
Ní ọjọ́ náà ni Èmi yóò ṣẹ́ ọrun Israẹli ní àfonífojì Jesreeli.”
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].
Gomeri sì tún lóyún, ó sì bí ọmọbìnrin kan. Olúwa sọ fún un pé, “Pe orúkọ rẹ̀ ní Lo-ruhama, nítorí pé, Èmi kò ní ṣàánú fún ilé Israẹli mọ́, Èmi kò sì ní dáríjì wọ́n.
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].”
Síbẹ̀, èmi yóò ṣàánú fún ilé Juda, èmi ó gbà wọ́n—kì í ṣe nípa ọfà, idà tàbí ogun, ẹṣin tàbí kẹ̀kẹ́ ẹlẹ́ṣin bí kò ṣe nípa Olúwa Ọlọ́run wọn.”
8 After Gomer had (weaned/stopped breast-feeding) Lo-ruhamah, she became pregnant again, and she gave birth to another son.
Lẹ́yìn ìgbà tí ó gba ọmú lẹ́nu Lo-ruhama, ó sì lóyún ó sì bí ọmọkùnrin mìíràn. Nígbà náà ni
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.
Olúwa sì sọ fún un pé, “Pe orúkọ rẹ̀ ní Lo-Ammi, nítorí pé ẹ kì í ṣe ènìyàn mi, èmi náà kì í sì í ṣe Ọlọ́run yín.
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.’
“Ṣùgbọ́n àwọn ọmọ Israẹli yóò pọ̀ bí i iyanrìn etí Òkun tí a kò le wọ́n, tí a kò sì le è kà, yóò sì ṣe. Ní ibi tí wọ́n ti sọ fún wọn pé. ‘Ẹ̀yin kì í ṣe ènìyàn mi,’ níbẹ̀ ni a ó ti máa pè wọ́n ní ‘Ọmọ Ọlọ́run alààyè.’
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].”
Àwọn ènìyàn Juda àti àwọn ènìyàn Israẹli yóò parapọ̀, wọn yóò sì yan olórí kan tí yóò jáde láti ilẹ̀ náà, nítorí pé ọjọ́ ńlá ni ọjọ́ Jesreeli yóò jẹ́.
