Hosea 1
1 [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.
Parole de Yahweh qui fut adressée à Osée, fils de Béeri, dans les jours d'Ozias, de Joatham, d'Achaz, d'Ezéchias, rois de Juda, et dans les jours de Jéroboam, fils de Joas, roi d'Israël.
2 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).”
Lorsque Yahweh commença à parler à Osée, Yahweh dit à Osée: " Va, prends une femme de prostitution et des enfants de prostitution, car le pays ne fait que se prostituer en abandonnant Yahweh. "
3 So I married Gomer, the daughter of Diblaim. She became pregnant and gave birth to my son.
Il alla et prit Gomer, fille de Débelaïm; elle conçut et lui enfanta un fils.
4 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,
Et Yahweh lui dit: " Nomme-le Jezrahel, car encore un peu de temps et je punirai le sang de Jezrahel sur la maison de Jéhu, et je mettrai fin à la royauté de la maison d'Israël.
5 by destroying the power [MTY] of [the army of] Israel in Jezreel Valley.”
En ce jour-là je briserai l'arc d'Israël dans la plaine de Jezrahel. "
6 [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].
Elle conçut encore et enfanta une fille; et Yahweh dit à Osée: " Nomme-la Lô-Ruchama, car je n'aurai plus compassion de la maison d'Israël pour lui pardonner ses péchés.
7 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].”
Mais j'aurai compassion de la maison de Juda, et je les sauverai par Yahweh, leur Dieu; je ne les sauverai ni par l'arc et l'épée, ni par le combat, ni par les chevaux et les cavaliers. "
8 After Gomer had (weaned/stopped breast-feeding) Lo-ruhamah, she became pregnant again, and she gave birth to another son.
Elle sevra Lô-Ruchama; puis elle conçut et enfanta un fils.
9 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.
Et Yahweh dit à Osée: " Nomme-le Lô-Ammi, car vous n'êtes pas mon peuple, et moi je ne serai pas votre Dieu. "
10 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.’
Le nombre des enfants d'Israël sera comme le sable de la mer, qui ne se mesure, ni ne se compte; et au lieu où on leur disait: " Vous n'êtes pas mon peuple, " on leur dira: " Fils du Dieu vivant!
11 [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].”
Et les enfants de Juda et les enfants d'Israël se réuniront, ils se donneront un même chef et monteront hors du pays, car grande sera la journée de Jezrahel.
