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.
Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobaki na nzela ya Oze, mwana mobali ya Beri, tango Oziasi, Yotami, Akazi mpe Ezekiasi bazalaki bakonzi ya Yuda, mpe tango Jeroboami, mwana mobali ya Joasi, azalaki mokonzi ya Isalaele:
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.
Tango Yawe abandaki koloba na nzela ya mosakoli Oze, Yawe ayebisaki ye: — Kende, linga mwasi oyo asalaka kindumba mpe bota na ye bana makangu, pamba te mokili emikotisi na kindumba mpe epesi Yawe mokongo.
3 So he went and took Gomer the daughter of Diblaim; who conceived, and bore him a son.
Boye, Oze akendeki kolinga Gomeri, mwana mwasi ya Dibilayimi. Gomeri akomaki na zemi mpe abotelaki ye mwana mobali.
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.
Yawe alobaki na ye: — Pesa ye kombo Jizireyeli, pamba te etikali moke napesa libota ya Jewu etumbu mpo na makila ya bato oyo asopaki na Jizireyeli, mpe nakosukisa bokonzi, na libota ya Isalaele.
5 And it shall come to pass at that day, that I will break the bow of Israel in the valley of Jezreel.
Na mokolo wana, nakobuka tolotolo ya Isalaele kati na lubwaku ya Jizireyeli.
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.
Gomeri akomaki lisusu na zemi mpe abotaki mwana mwasi. Yawe alobaki na Oze: — Pesa ye kombo Lo-Rukama, pamba te nakotalisa lisusu bolingo na Ngai te epai ya libota ya Isalaele mpe nakolimbisa bango te.
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.
Kasi nakotalisa bolamu na Ngai epai ya libota ya Yuda mpe nakobikisa bango. Ngai moko Yawe, Nzambe na bango, nde nakosala bongo; ekozala na nguya ya tolotolo te, ya mopanga te, ya bitumba te, ya bampunda te to mpe ya bashar te.
8 Now when she had weaned Lo-ruhamah, she conceived, and bore a son.
Tango Gomeri alongolaki Lo-Rukama na mabele, Gomeri akomaki lisusu na zemi mpe abotaki mwana mobali.
9 Then said [God], Call his name Lo-ammi: for ye [are] not my people, and I will not be your [God].
Yawe alobaki: — Pesa ye kombo Lo-Ami, pamba te bozali bato na Ngai te, mpe Ngai nazali Nzambe na bino te.
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.
Nzokande, bana ya Isalaele bakozala ebele lokola zelo ya ebale monene, oyo bakoki komeka to kotanga te; kaka na esika oyo balobaki na bango: « Bozali bato na ngai te, » bakokoma kobenga bango « bana na Nzambe na bomoi. »
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.
Bongo, bato ya Yuda mpe ya Isalaele bakozonga lisusu kozala ekolo moko, bakopona mokonzi moko kaka mpe bakobima na mokili ya bowumbu, pamba te mokolo ya Jizireyeli ekozala mokolo monene.
