Hosea 1
1 Pa inge kas su LEUM GOD El sang nu sel Hosea, wen natul Beeri, ke pacl Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz ac Hezekiah elos tokosra lun Judah, ac Jeroboam, wen natul Jehoash, el tokosra lun Israel.
The Lord sent a message to Hosea son of Beeri at the time when Uzziah, Jotham, and Ahaz were the kings of Judah, and Jeroboam son of Jehoash was the king of Israel.
2 Ke pacl se emeet LEUM GOD El kaskas nu sin Israel ke oalul Hosea, El fahk nu sel Hosea, “Som payukyak. Mutan kiom an ac fah mutan na aklalfon se, ac tulik nutumtal ac fah oana el. In ouiya sacna, mwet luk uh elos aklalfonyeyu ac sisyula.”
The Lord began speaking through Hosea by telling him, “Go and take a wife who is a prostitute and have children born to a prostitute because those living in this land have committed terrible prostitution by turning away from the Lord.”
3 Na Hosea el payukyak sin mutan se pangpang Gomer, acn natul Diblaim. Tukun wen se oemeet natultal isusla.
So Hosea went and married Gomer, the daughter of Diblaim. She became pregnant and bore Hosea a son.
4 LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel Hosea, “Sang inel Jezreel, mweyen ac tia paht, nga ac kai fwilin tulik natul Tokosra Jehu ke sripen akmas ma el orala ke Infahlfal Jezreel. Nga fah oru tuh wangin tulik natul Jehu in tokosrala nwe tok.
The Lord told Hosea, “Call him Jezreel, because I am going to punish the house of Jehu for the blood he shed at Jezreel, and I will put an end to the kingdom of Israel.
5 Ac nga fah kunausla mwe mweun lun Israel in pacl sacn ke Infahlfal Jezreel.”
On that day I will break Israel's military power in the valley of Jezreel.”
6 Tulik se akluo natul Gomer, tulik mutan se. LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel Hosea, “Sang inel Lo-ruhama mweyen nga ac tia sifil pakomuta mwet Israel, ku nunak munas nu selos.
Gomer became pregnant again and gave birth to a daughter. The Lord told Hosea, “Call her Lo-ruhamah, because I will no longer love the house of Israel and certainly not forgive them.
7 Tusruktu, nga fah pakomuta mwet Judah. Nga, LEUM GOD lalos, fah molelosla, tusruk nga ac tia oru ke inkanek in mweun — tia ke cutlass ku ke mwe pisr ac sukan pisr, ku ke horse ac mwet kasrusr fin horse.”
But I will have pity on the house of Judah, and I will save them—but I will not save them by bow or sword or war or horses and riders.”
8 Tukun Gomer el liktitela acn natul, el sifilpa pitutuyak ac oswela sie wen.
After Gomer had weaned Lo-ruhamah she became pregnant again and gave birth to a son.
9 LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel Hosea, “Sang inel Lo-ammi mweyen mwet Israel elos tia mwet luk, ac nga tia God lalos.”
The Lord told Hosea, “Call him Lo-ammi, because you are not my people and I am not your God.
10 Pisen mwet Israel ac fah oana puk weacn uh, su tia ku in oekyukla ku srikeyuki. Inge God El fahk nu selos, “Kowos tia mwet luk,” tusruktu in pacl fahsru uh, El ac fah fahk nu selos, “Kowos pa tulik nutin God moul.”
Even so the number of the people of Israel will be like the sand on the seashore that cannot be measured or counted. Then right there at the place where they were told ‘you are not my people’ they will be called ‘the children of the living God.’
11 Mwet Judah ac mwet Israel ac fah sifil folokeni ac ma sefannala. Elos ac fah sulela mwet kol sefanna lalos, ac elos fah puseni ac kapkapak in facl selos. Aok, len lal Jezreel fah sie len na pwengpeng.
The people of Israel and the people of Judah will be gathered together and they will choose one leader for themselves and they will take possession of the land, and the day of Jezreel will be great.”
