Hosea 1
1 The LORD’s word that came to Hosea the son of Beeri, in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah, and in the days of Jeroboam the son of Joash, king of Israel.
Verbum Domini, quod factum est ad Osee filium Beeri, in diebus Oziae, Ioathan, Achaz, Ezechiae regum Iuda, et in diebus Ieroboam filii Ioas regis Israel.
2 When the LORD spoke at first by Hosea, the LORD said to Hosea, “Go, take for yourself a wife of prostitution and children of unfaithfulness; for the land commits great adultery, forsaking the LORD.”
Principium loquendi Domino in Osee: et dixit Dominus ad Osee: Vade, sume tibi uxorem fornicationum, et fac tibi filios fornicationum: quia fornicans fornicabitur terra a Domino.
3 So he went and took Gomer the daughter of Diblaim; and she conceived, and bore him a son.
Et abiit, et accepit Gomer filiam Debelaim: et concepit, et peperit ei filium.
4 The LORD said to him, “Call his name Jezreel, for yet a little while, and I will avenge the blood of Jezreel on the house of Jehu, and will cause the kingdom of the house of Israel to cease.
Et dixit Dominus ad eum: Voca nomen eius Iezrahel: quoniam adhuc modicum, et visitabo sanguinem Iezrahel super domum Iehu, et quiescere faciam regnum domus Israel.
5 It will happen in that day that I will break the bow of Israel in the valley of Jezreel.”
Et in illa die conteram arcum Israel in valle Iezrahel.
6 She conceived again, and bore a daughter. Then he said to him, “Call her name Lo-Ruhamah, for I will no longer have mercy on the house of Israel, that I should in any way pardon them.
Et concepit adhuc, et peperit filiam. Et dixit ei: Voca nomen eius Absque misericordia: quia non addam ultra misereri domui Israel, sed oblivione obliviscar eorum.
7 But I will have mercy on the house of Judah, and will save them by the LORD their God, and will not save them by bow, sword, battle, horses, or horsemen.”
Et domui Iuda miserebor, et salvabo eos in Domino Deo suo: et non salvabo eos in arcu, et gladio, et in bello, et in equis, et in equitibus.
8 Now when she had weaned Lo-Ruhamah, she conceived, and bore a son.
Et ablactavit eam, quae erat Absque misericordia. Et concepit, et peperit filium.
9 He said, “Call his name Lo-Ammi, for you are not my people, and I will not be yours.
Et dixit: Voca nomen eius: Non populus meus: quia vos non populus meus, et ego non ero vester Deus.
10 Yet the number of the children of Israel will be as the sand of the sea, which cannot be measured or counted; and it will come to pass that, in the place where it was said to them, ‘You are not my people,’ they will be called ‘sons of the living God.’
Et erit numerus filiorum Israel quasi arena maris, quae sine mensura est, et non numerabitur. Et erit in loco ubi dicetur eis: Non populus meus vos: dicetur eis: Filii Dei viventis.
11 The children of Judah and the children of Israel will be gathered together, and they will appoint themselves one head, and will go up from the land; for great will be the day of Jezreel.
Et congregabuntur filii Iuda, et filii Israel pariter: et ponent sibimet caput unum, et ascendent de terra: quia magnus dies Iezrahel.
