< Hosea 1 >

1 Ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa tí ó tọ Hosea ọmọ Beeri wá ní àkókò ìjọba Ussiah, Jotamu, Ahasi àti Hesekiah; àwọn ọba Juda àti ní àkókò ọba Jeroboamu ọmọ Jehoaṣi ní Israẹli.
The word of the Lord which came to Osee the son of Beeri, in the days of Ozias, and Joatham, and Achaz, and Ezekias, kings of Juda, and in the days of Jeroboam son of Joas, king of Israel.
2 Nígbà tí Olúwa bẹ̀rẹ̀ sí ní sọ̀rọ̀ láti ẹnu Hosea, Olúwa wí fún un pé, “Lọ, fẹ́ àgbèrè obìnrin kan fún ara rẹ, kí ó sì bí ọmọ àgbèrè fún ọ nípasẹ̀ àwọn ọkùnrin mìíràn, nítorí ilẹ̀ ti ṣẹ ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ àgbèrè púpọ̀ nípa yíyapa kúrò lọ́dọ̀ Olúwa.”
The beginning of the word of the Lord by Osee. And the Lord said to Osee, Go, take to yourself a wife of fornication, and children of fornication: for the land will surely go a-whoring in departing from the Lord.
3 Nígbà náà ni ó sì lọ, ó sì fẹ́ Gomeri ọmọbìnrin Diblaimu, ọmọbìnrin náà sì lóyún, ó sì bí ọmọkùnrin kan fún un.
So he went and took Gomer, daughter of Debelaim; and she conceived, and bore him a son.
4 Nígbà náà ni Olúwa sọ fún Hosea pé, “Pe orúkọ ọmọ náà ní Jesreeli, nítorí pé láìpẹ́ ni èmi yóò jẹ ìdílé Jehu ní ìyà fún ẹ̀jẹ̀ àwọn ènìyàn tó pa ní ìpakúpa ní Jesreeli, Èmi yóò sì mú ìjọba Israẹli wá sí òpin.
And the Lord said to him, Call his name Jezrael; for yet a little [while], and I will avenge the blood of Jezrael on the house of Juda, and will make to cease the kingdom of the house of Israel.
5 Ní ọjọ́ náà ni Èmi yóò ṣẹ́ ọrun Israẹli ní àfonífojì Jesreeli.”
And it shall be, in that day, [that] I will break the bow of Israel in the valley of Jezrael.
6 Gomeri sì tún lóyún, ó sì bí ọmọbìnrin kan. Olúwa sọ fún un pé, “Pe orúkọ rẹ̀ ní Lo-ruhama, nítorí pé, Èmi kò ní ṣàánú fún ilé Israẹli mọ́, Èmi kò sì ní dáríjì wọ́n.
And she conceived again, and bore a daughter. And he said to him, Call her name, Unpitied: for I will no more have mercy on the house of Israel, but will surely set myself in array against them.
7 Síbẹ̀, èmi yóò ṣàánú fún ilé Juda, èmi ó gbà wọ́n—kì í ṣe nípa ọfà, idà tàbí ogun, ẹṣin tàbí kẹ̀kẹ́ ẹlẹ́ṣin bí kò ṣe nípa Olúwa Ọlọ́run wọn.”
But I will have mercy on the house of Juda, and will save them by the Lord their God, and will not save them with bow, nor with sword, nor by war, nor by horses, nor by horsemen.
8 Lẹ́yìn ìgbà tí ó gba ọmú lẹ́nu Lo-ruhama, ó sì lóyún ó sì bí ọmọkùnrin mìíràn. Nígbà náà ni
And she weaned Unpitied; and she conceived again, and bore a son.
9 Olúwa sì sọ fún un pé, “Pe orúkọ rẹ̀ ní Lo-Ammi, nítorí pé ẹ kì í ṣe ènìyàn mi, èmi náà kì í sì í ṣe Ọlọ́run yín.
And he said, Call his name, Not my people: for you are not my people, and I am not your [God].
10 “Ṣùgbọ́n àwọn ọmọ Israẹli yóò pọ̀ bí i iyanrìn etí Òkun tí a kò le wọ́n, tí a kò sì le è kà, yóò sì ṣe. Ní ibi tí wọ́n ti sọ fún wọn pé. ‘Ẹ̀yin kì í ṣe ènìyàn mi,’ níbẹ̀ ni a ó ti máa pè wọ́n ní ‘Ọmọ Ọlọ́run alààyè.’
Yet the number of the children of Israel was as the sand of the sea, which shall not be measured nor numbered: and it shall come to pass, [that] in the place where it was said to them, You are not my people, even they shall be called the sons of the living God.
11 Àwọn ènìyàn Juda àti àwọn ènìyàn Israẹli yóò parapọ̀, wọn yóò sì yan olórí kan tí yóò jáde láti ilẹ̀ náà, nítorí pé ọjọ́ ńlá ni ọjọ́ Jesreeli yóò jẹ́.
And the children of Juda shall be gathered, and the children of Israel together, and shall appoint themselves one head, and shall come up out of the land: for great [shall be] the day of Jezrael.
