Hosea 1

1 The word of the LORD that came to Hosea, the son of Beeri, in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, [and] Hezekiah, kings of Judah, and in the days of Jeroboam the son of Joash, king of Israel.

١ قَوْلُ ٱلرَّبِّ ٱلَّذِي صَارَ إِلَى هُوشَعَ بْنِ بِئِيرِي، فِي أَيَّامِ عُزِّيَّا وَيُوثَامَ وَآحَازَ وَحَزَقِيَّا مُلُوكِ يَهُوذَا، وَفِي أَيَّامِ يَرُبْعَامَ بْنِ يُوآشَ مَلِكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ.

2 The beginning of the word of the LORD by Hosea. And the LORD said to Hosea, Go take to thee a wife addicted to lewdness and children of lewdness; for the land hath committed great lewdness, [departing] from the LORD.

٢ أَوَّلَ مَا كَلَّمَ ٱلرَّبُّ هُوشَعَ، قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِهُوشَعَ: «ٱذْهَبْ خُذْ لِنَفْسِكَ ٱمْرَأَةَ زِنًى وَأَوْلَادَ زِنًى، لِأَنَّ ٱلْأَرْضَ قَدْ زَنَتْ زِنًى تَارِكَةً ٱلرَّبَّ».

3 So he went and took Gomer the daughter of Diblaim; who conceived, and bore him a son.

٣ فَذَهَبَ وَأَخَذَ جُومَرَ بِنْتَ دِبْلَايِمَ، فَحَبِلَتْ وَوَلَدَتْ لَهُ ٱبْنًا،

4 And the LORD said to him, Call his name Jezreel; for yet a little [while], and I will avenge the blood of Jezreel upon the house of Jehu, and will cause to cease the kingdom of the house of Israel.

٤ فَقَالَ لَهُ ٱلرَّبُّ: «ٱدْعُ ٱسْمَهُ يَزْرَعِيلَ، لِأَنَّنِي بَعْدَ قَلِيلٍ أُعَاقِبُ بَيْتَ يَاهُو عَلَى دَمِ يَزْرَعِيلَ، وَأُبِيدُ مَمْلَكَةَ بَيْتِ إِسْرَائِيلَ.

5 And it shall come to pass at that day, that I will break the bow of Israel in the valley of Jezreel.

٥ وَيَكُونُ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ أَنِّي أَكْسِرُ قَوْسَ إِسْرَائِيلَ فِي وَادِي يَزْرَعِيلَ».

6 And she conceived again, and bore a daughter. And [God] said to him, Call her name Lo-ruhamah: for I will no more have mercy upon the house of Israel; but I will utterly take them away.

٦ ثُمَّ حَبِلَتْ أَيْضًا وَوَلَدَتْ بِنْتًا، فَقَالَ لَهُ: «ٱدْعُ ٱسْمَهَا لُورُحَامَةَ، لِأَنِّي لَا أَعُودُ أَرْحَمُ بَيْتَ إِسْرَائِيلَ أَيْضًا، بَلْ أَنْزِعُهُمْ نَزْعًا.

7 But I will have mercy upon the house of Judah, and will save them by the LORD their God, and will not save them by bow, nor by sword, nor by battle, by horses, nor by horsemen.

٧ وَأَمَّا بَيْتُ يَهُوذَا فَأَرْحَمُهُمْ وَأُخَلِّصُهُمْ بِٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِهِمْ، وَلَا أُخَلِّصُهُمْ بِقَوْسٍ وَبِسَيْفٍ وَبِحَرْبٍ وَبِخَيْلٍ وَبِفُرْسَانٍ».

8 Now when she had weaned Lo-ruhamah, she conceived, and bore a son.

٨ ثُمَّ فَطَمَتْ لُورُحَامَةَ وَحَبِلَتْ فَوَلَدَتِ ٱبْنًا،

9 Then said [God], Call his name Lo-ammi: for ye [are] not my people, and I will not be your [God].

٩ فَقَالَ: «ٱدْعُ ٱسْمَهُ لُوعَمِّي، لِأَنَّكُمْ لَسْتُمْ شَعْبِي وَأَنَا لَا أَكُونُ لَكُمْ.

10 Yet the number of the children of Israel shall be as the sand of the sea, which cannot be measured nor numbered; and it shall come to pass, [that] in the place where it was said to them, Ye [are] not my people, [there] it shall be said to them, [Ye are] the sons of the living God.

١٠ لَكِنْ يَكُونُ عَدَدُ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ كَرَمْلِ ٱلْبَحْرِ ٱلَّذِي لَا يُكَالُ وَلَا يُعَدُّ، وَيَكُونُ عِوَضًا عَنْ أَنْ يُقَالَ لَهُمْ: لَسْتُمْ شَعْبِي، يُقَالُ لَهُمْ: أَبْنَاءُ ٱللهِ ٱلْحَيِّ.

11 Then shall the children of Judah and the children of Israel be assembled, and appoint themselves one head, and they shall come up from the land: for great [shall be] the day of Jezreel.

١١ وَيُجْمَعُ بَنُو يَهُوذَا وَبَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ مَعًا وَيَجْعَلُونَ لِأَنْفُسِهِمْ رَأْسًا وَاحِدًا، وَيَصْعَدُونَ مِنَ ٱلْأَرْضِ، لِأَنَّ يَوْمَ يَزْرَعِيلَ عَظِيمٌ.
