Ozej 1
1 Gospodova beseda, ki je prišla Beeríjevemu sinu Ozeju v dneh Uzíjaha, Jotáma, Aháza in Ezekíja, Judovih kraljev in v dneh Joáševega sina Jerobeáma, Izraelovega kralja.
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 Začetek Gospodove besede po Ozeju. Gospod je Ozeju rekel: »Pojdi, vzemi si ženo vlačugarstev in otroke vlačugarstev, kajti dežela je zagrešila veliko vlačugarstvo, odhajajoč od Gospoda.«
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 Torej je odšel in vzel Diblájimovo hčer Gómero, ki je spočela in mu rodila sina.
So Hosea went and married Gomer, the daughter of Diblaim. She became pregnant and bore Hosea a son.
4 Gospod mu je rekel: »Njegovo ime kliči Jezreél, kajti le še malo in jaz bom maščeval kri Jezreéla na Jehújevi hiši in povzročil bom, da bo prenehalo kraljestvo Izraelove hiše.
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 Na ta dan se bo zgodilo, da bom Izraelov lok zlomil v dolini Jezreél.«
On that day I will break Israel's military power in the valley of Jezreel.”
6 Ponovno je spočela in rodila hčer. Bog mu je rekel: »Njeno ime kliči Nepomiloščena, kajti ne bom več imel milosti nad Izraelovo hišo, temveč jih bom popolnoma odvedel stran.
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 Toda imel bom usmiljenje nad Judovo hišo in rešil jih bom po Gospodu, njihovem Bogu in ne bom jih rešil z lokom, niti z mečem, niti z bitko, [niti] s konji, niti s konjeniki.«
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 Torej, ko je odstavila Nepomiloščeno, je spočela in rodila sina.
After Gomer had weaned Lo-ruhamah she became pregnant again and gave birth to a son.
9 Potem je Bog rekel: »Njegovo ime kliči Ne-moje-ljudstvo, kajti vi niste moje ljudstvo in jaz ne bom vaš Bog.«
The Lord told Hosea, “Call him Lo-ammi, because you are not my people and I am not your God.
10 Vendar bo število Izraelovih otrok kakor morskega peska, ki ne more biti izmerjen niti preštet in zgodilo se bo, da jim bo na kraju, kjer jim je bilo rečeno: ›Vi niste moje ljudstvo, ‹ tam jim bo rečeno: › Vi ste sinovi živega Boga.‹
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 Potem bodo Judovi otroci in Izraelovi otroci zbrani skupaj in določili si bodo eno glavo in prišli bodo gor iz dežele, kajti velik bo Jezreélov dan.‹
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.”
