Hosea 1
1 Niheo amy Hosea ana’ i Bierý ty tsara’ Iehovà faha’ i Ozià naho Iotame naho i Akhaze naho Khizkiia mpanjaka Iehodà, vaho Iarobàme ana’ Ioàse, mpanjaka’ Israele.
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 Ie namotsotse nitsara amy Hosea t’Iehovà, le hoe t’Iehovà amy Hosea, Akia mañengà karapilo ho vali’o, ty anak’ ampela boak’ an-kàrapiloañe ao; fa toe mpanao hakarapiloan-kalalijake naho miamboho am’ Iehovà o taneo.
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 Aa le nimb’eo re nañenga i Gomere, ana’ i Diblaime, le niaren-dre vaho nisamaha’e anadahy.
So Hosea went and married Gomer, the daughter of Diblaim. She became pregnant and bore Hosea a son.
4 Le hoe t’Iehovà ama’e, Toñono ty hoe Iezreèle ty añara’e; fa tsy ho ela te havaleko ami’ty anjomba’ Iehò ty lio’ Iezreèle, vaho hagàdoko ty fifehean’ anjomba’ Israele.
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 Ie amy andro zay, ho pozaheko ty fale’ Israele am-bavatane’ Iezreèle ao.
On that day I will break Israel's military power in the valley of Jezreel.”
6 Niareñe indraike re nahatoly anak’ ampela, le hoe re tama’e, Toñono ty hoe Lorokamà ty añara’e: fa tsy ho ferenaiñako ka ty anjomba’ Israele, toe tsy iheveako.
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 Fe ho tretrezeko ty anjomba’ Iehodà le ho rombaheko añam’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’ iareoy, fa tsy ho rombaheko am-pale ndra fibara ndra hotakotake ndra soavala ndra mpiningi-tsoavala.
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 Aa ie notañe’e t’i Lorokamà, le niareñe indraike nisamak’ anadahy.
After Gomer had weaned Lo-ruhamah she became pregnant again and gave birth to a son.
9 Le hoe re, Toñono ty hoe Loamý fa tsy ondatiko nahareo vaho tsy ho Andrianañahare’ areo iraho.
The Lord told Hosea, “Call him Lo-ammi, because you are not my people and I am not your God.
10 Fe mbe ho mira amo fasen-driakeo ty ia’ o ana’ Israeleo, ze tsy ho mete zeheñe ndra iaheñe; ie amy zay, amy tane nanoañe ama’ areo te Tsy ondatiko nahareoy, ty hafetse am’ iereo te Anan’ Añahare Veloñe.
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 Le hifanontoñe o ana’ Iehodào naho o ana’ Israeleo, naho ho tendrè’ iareo ty mpiaolo raike ho a iareo, vaho hitombo an-tane eo: fa jabajaba ty andro’ Iezreèle.
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.”
