Hoosheeca 1

1 Kanu waa Eraygii Rabbiga oo u yimid Hoosheeca ina Be'eeri wakhtigii dalka Yahuudah ay boqorrada ku ahaayeen Cusiyaah, iyo Yootam, iyo Aaxaas, iyo Xisqiyaah, iyo wakhtigii dalka Israa'iil uu boqorka ku ahaa Yaaraabcaam ina Yoo'aash.

[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 Rabbigu markuu Hoosheeca markii ugu horraysay la hadlay, wuxuu Rabbigu Hoosheeca ku yidhi, Tag, oo waxaad guursataa naag dhillo ah oo waxaad yeelataa carruur dhillo dhashay, waayo, dadka dalku Rabbigay ka fogaadaan sida naagu ninkeeda uga sinaysata.

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 Sidaas daraaddeed wuu tegey oo wuxuu guursaday Gomer oo ahayd ina Diblaayim, oo iyana way uuraysatay, oo wiil bay isagii u dhashay.

So I married Gomer, the daughter of Diblaim. She became pregnant and gave birth to my son.

4 Markaasaa Rabbigu isagii ku yidhi, Magiciisa waxaad u bixisaa Yesreceel, waayo, in yar dabadeed waxaan dhiiggii Yesreceel ka aar gudi doonaa reerka Yeehuu, oo boqortooyada dadka Israa'iilna waan joojin doonaa.

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 Oo maalintaas ayaan qaansada dadka Israa'iil ku jebin doona dooxada Yesreceel.

by destroying the power [MTY] of [the army of] Israel in Jezreel Valley.”

6 Oo haddana mar kalay uuraysatay oo gabadh bay dhashay. Markaasaa Rabbigu wuxuu isagii ku yidhi, Waxaad magaceeda u bixisaa Lo-Ruxaamaah, waayo, anigu mar dambe dadka Israa'iil u naxariisan maayo, oo sinaba u saamixi maayo.

[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 Laakiinse waxaan u naxariisan doonaa dadka Yahuudah, oo waxaan iyaga ku badbaadin doonaa Rabbiga Ilaahooda ah, oo kuma badbaadin doono qaanso, ama seef, ama dagaal, ama fardo iyo fardooley toona.

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 Oo haddana markii ay Lo-Ruxaamaah naaskii ka gudhisay ayay uuraysatay, oo waxay dhashay wiil.

After Gomer had (weaned/stopped breast-feeding) Lo-ruhamah, she became pregnant again, and she gave birth to another son.

9 Markaasaa Rabbigu isagii ku yidhi, Waxaad magiciisa u bixisaa Lo-Cammii, waayo, idinku dadkayga ma ahidin, oo aniguna Ilaahiin idiin ahaan maayo.

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 Laakiinse tirada dadka Israa'iil waxay ahaan doontaa sida cammuudda badda oo kale, taasoo aan la qiyaasi karin, lana tirin karin, oo waxay noqon doontaa meeshii laga yidhi iyaga, Dadkayga ma ahidin, waxaa laga odhan doonaa, Idinku waxaad tihiin wiilashii Ilaaha nool.

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 Oo dadka Yahuudah iyo dadka Israa'iilba waa laysu soo wada ururin doonaa, oo waxay dooran doonaan mid madax iyaga u ah, oo dalkana way ka bixi doonaan, waayo, maalinta Yesreceel maalin weyn bay ahaan doontaa.

[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].”
