Osee Propheta 1

1 Verbum Domini, quod factum est ad Osee filium Beeri, in diebus Oziae, Ioathan, Achaz, Ezechiae regum Iuda, et in diebus Ieroboam filii Ioas regis Israel.

This is the word of the LORD that came to Hosea son of Beeri in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah, and of Jeroboam son of Jehoash, king of Israel.

2 Principium loquendi Domino in Osee: et dixit Dominus ad Osee: Vade, sume tibi uxorem fornicationum, et fac tibi filios fornicationum: quia fornicans fornicabitur terra a Domino.

When the LORD first spoke through Hosea, He told him, “Go, take a prostitute as your wife and have children of adultery, because this land is flagrantly prostituting itself by departing from the LORD.”

3 Et abiit, et accepit Gomer filiam Debelaim: et concepit, et peperit ei filium.

So Hosea went and married Gomer daughter of Diblaim, and she conceived and bore him a son.

4 Et dixit Dominus ad eum: Voca nomen eius Iezrahel: quoniam adhuc modicum, et visitabo sanguinem Iezrahel super domum Iehu, et quiescere faciam regnum domus Israel.

Then the LORD said to Hosea, “Name him Jezreel, for soon I will bring the bloodshed of Jezreel upon the house of Jehu, and I will put an end to the kingdom of Israel.

5 Et in illa die conteram arcum Israel in valle Iezrahel.

And on that day I will break the bow of Israel in the Valley of Jezreel.”

6 Et concepit adhuc, et peperit filiam. Et dixit ei: Voca nomen eius Absque misericordia: quia non addam ultra misereri domui Israel, sed oblivione obliviscar eorum.

Gomer again conceived and gave birth to a daughter, and the LORD said to Hosea, “Name her Lo-ruhamah, for I will no longer have compassion on the house of Israel, that I should ever forgive them.

7 Et domui Iuda miserebor, et salvabo eos in Domino Deo suo: et non salvabo eos in arcu, et gladio, et in bello, et in equis, et in equitibus.

Yet I will have compassion on the house of Judah, and I will save them—not by bow or sword or war, not by horses and cavalry, but by the LORD their God.”

8 Et ablactavit eam, quae erat Absque misericordia. Et concepit, et peperit filium.

After she had weaned Lo-ruhamah, Gomer conceived and gave birth to a son.

9 Et dixit: Voca nomen eius: Non populus meus: quia vos non populus meus, et ego non ero vester Deus.

And the LORD said, “Name him Lo-ammi, for you are not My people, and I am not your God.

10 Et erit numerus filiorum Israel quasi arena maris, quae sine mensura est, et non numerabitur. Et erit in loco ubi dicetur eis: Non populus meus vos: dicetur eis: Filii Dei viventis.

Yet the number of the Israelites will be like the sand of the sea, which cannot be measured or counted. And it will happen that in the very place where it was said to them, ‘You are not My people,’ they will be called ‘sons of the living God.’

11 Et congregabuntur filii Iuda, et filii Israel pariter: et ponent sibimet caput unum, et ascendent de terra: quia magnus dies Iezrahel.

Then the people of Judah and of Israel will be gathered together, and they will appoint for themselves one leader, and will go up out of the land. For great will be the day of Jezreel.
