< 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.
The word of the Lord that came unto Hosea the son of Beeri, in the days of 'Uzziyah, Jotham, Achaz, [and] Hezekiah, the kings of Judah, and in the days of Jerobo'am the son of Joash the 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.
The beginning of the word of the Lord by Hosea was, that the Lord said to Hosea, Go, take unto thee a wife of prostitution and children of prostitution; for the [inhabitants of the] land go far astray, departing from the Lord.
3 Et abiit, et accepit Gomer filiam Debelaim: et concepit, et peperit ei filium.
So he went and took Gomer the daughter of Diblayim, 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.
And the Lord said unto him, Call his name Yizre'el; for but yet a little while, when I will visit the blood of Yizre'el upon the house of Jehu, and I will cause to cease the kingdom of the house of Israel.
5 Et in illa die conteram arcum Israel in valle Iezrahel.
And it shall come to pass on that day, that I will break the bow of Israel in the valley of Yizre'el.
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.
And she conceived again, and bore a daughter: and he said unto him, Call her name Lo-ruchamah [[Not finding mercy]]; for I will not farther have any more mercy upon the house of Israel; but I will give them their full recompense.
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.
But upon the house of Judah will I have mercy, and I will save them through the Lord their God, and I will not save them by the bow, or by the sword, or by battle, by horses, or by horsemen.
8 Et ablactavit eam, quae erat Absque misericordia. Et concepit, et peperit filium.
Now when she had weaned Lo-ruchamah, she conceived, and bore a son.
9 Et dixit: Voca nomen eius: Non populus meus: quia vos non populus meus, et ego non ero vester Deus.
Then said he, Call his name Lo-'ammi [[Not my people]]; for ye are not my people, and I will indeed not be unto you [a 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 shall the number of the children of Israel [once] be like the sand of the sea, which cannot be measured nor numbered; and it shall come to pass, that instead that people say of them, Ye are not my people [[Lo-'ammi]], shall they call them, The 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 shall the children of Judah and the children of Israel be gathered together, and they will appoint for themselves one head, and they shall go up out of the land, for great shall be the day of Yizre'el.
