< Oséias 1 >
1 Palavra do Senhor, que foi dita a Oseias, filho de Beeri, nos dias d'Uzias, Jothão, Achaz, Ezequias, reis de Judá, e nos dias de Jeroboão, filho de Joás, rei de Israel.
[I am] Hosea, the son of Beeri. Yahweh gave me these messages [at various times] during the years that Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah were the kings of Judah, and Jeroboam the son of Jehoash was the King of Israel.
2 O princípio da palavra do Senhor por Oseias: disse pois o Senhor a Oseias: vai, toma uma mulher de fornicações, e filhos de fornicações; porque a terra fornicando fornica, desviando-se de após o Senhor.
When Yahweh first [began to] give messages to me [to tell to the people of Israel], he said to me, “Go and marry a prostitute. But [some of] her children will be born as a result of her having sex with men to whom she is not married. That will illustrate how the people of Israel have turned away from me and worship (idols/other gods).”
3 E foi-se, e tomou a Gomer, filha de Diblaim, e ela concebeu, e lhe pariu um filho.
So I married Gomer, the daughter of Diblaim. She became pregnant and gave birth to my son.
4 E disse-lhe o Senhor: Chama o seu nome Jezreel; porque daqui a pouco visitarei o sangue de Jezreel sobre a casa de Jehu, e farei cessar o reino da casa de Israel.
Yahweh said to me, “Give him the name Jezreel, [which means ‘God scatters’], because I will soon punish the descendants [MTY] of [King] Jehu [by scattering them], because he killed many of my people at Jezreel [town]. [Some day] I will end the kingdom of Israel,
5 E será naquele dia que quebrarei o arco de Israel no vale de Jezreel.
by destroying the power [MTY] of [the army of] Israel in Jezreel Valley.”
6 E tornou ela a conceber, e pariu uma filha; e ele disse: Chama o seu nome Lo-ruhama; porque eu não me tornarei mais a compadecer da casa de Israel, mas tudo lhe tirarei.
[Later] Gomer became pregnant [again], and she gave birth to a daughter. Yahweh said to me “Give her the name Lo-ruhamah, [which means ‘not loved],’ because I will no longer [show that I] love the people [MET] of Israel, and I will not forgive them [for the sins that they have committed].
7 Mas da casa de Judá me apiedarei, e os salvarei pelo Senhor seu Deus, pois não os salvarei pelo arco, nem pela espada, nem pela guerra, nem pelos cavalos nem pelos cavaleiros.
But I will [show that I] love the people [MTY] of Judah [by saving them from their enemies]. However, it will not be by weapons and armies or horses and chariots that I will save them. Instead, it will be by [the power that I], Yahweh their God, [have].”
8 E, depois de haver desmamado a Lo-ruhama, concebeu e pariu um filho.
After Gomer had (weaned/stopped breast-feeding) Lo-ruhamah, she became pregnant again, and she gave birth to another son.
9 E ele disse: Chama o seu nome lo-ami; porque vós não sois meu povo, nem eu serei vosso Deus.
Yahweh said “Give him the name Lo-ammi, [which means 'not my people', ] because the people of Israel are no [longer my people], and I am not their God.
10 Todavia o número dos filhos de Israel será como a areia do mar, que não pode medir-se nem contar-se; e acontecerá que no lugar onde se lhes dizia: Vós não sois meu povo, se lhes dirá: Vós sois filhos do Deus vivo.
But [some day] the people of Israel will be [as numerous] as [SIM] the [grains of] sand on the seashore; no one will be able to count them. Now [I] am saying to them, ‘You are not my people,’ but then people will say to them, ‘[You are the] children of God who is all-powerful.’
11 E os filhos de Judá e os filhos de Israel juntos se congregarão, e constituirão sobre si uma única cabeça, e subirão da terra; porque grande será o dia de Jezreel.
[At that time], the people of Judah and the people of Israel will unite. They will appoint one leader for all of them, and they will return from the countries [to which they have been (exiled/forced to go)]. That will be a great time; Jezreel [also means ‘God plants’, and it will be as though God will plant them in this country again].”
