< 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’s message to Hosea son of Beeri during the reigns of Kings Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah of Judah and during the reign of King Jeroboam, son of Joash 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.”
When the Lord began to speak through Hosea, he said to him: “Go marry an unfaithful woman who will bear you children by her adultery, for like an adulterous wife the land is unfaithful to the Lord.”
3 Na Hosea el payukyak sin mutan se pangpang Gomer, acn natul Diblaim. Tukun wen se oemeet natultal isusla.
So he married Gomer, the daughter of Dibliam, and when she conceived and bore him 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 said: “Call him ‘Jezreel,’ for in a little while I will punish the dynasty of Jehu for the blood shed at the valley of Jezreel, I will cause the kingdom of Israel to cease.
5 Ac nga fah kunausla mwe mweun lun Israel in pacl sacn ke Infahlfal Jezreel.”
On that day, I will break Israel’s bows and arrows 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.
When she conceived again and bore a daughter, the Lord said to Hosea: “Call her Lo-Ruhamah – ‘No-Compassion’ for I will no longer have compassion on Israel, certainly not spare 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 on Judah I will have compassion, I will deliver them by the Lord their God, but I will not deliver them by bow nor by sword, nor by battle nor by horses nor by horsemen.”
8 Tukun Gomer el liktitela acn natul, el sifilpa pitutuyak ac oswela sie wen.
After she had weaned No-Compassion, and when she conceived and bore a son, he said:
9 LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel Hosea, “Sang inel Lo-ammi mweyen mwet Israel elos tia mwet luk, ac nga tia God lalos.”
“Call him Lo-Ammi – ‘Not-My-People’ for you, Israel, are not my people, and I indeed 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.”
Yet the number of the Israelites will be as the sand of the sea, which cannot be measured or counted, and where they were told, “You are not my people,” they will be called, “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 Judeans and the Israelites will join together again, will appoint for themselves one leader, will return to their own land. Great will be the day of Jezreel!
