Hosea 1
1 The word of the Lord, that came to Osee the son of Beeri, in the days of Ozias, Joathan, Achaz, and Ezechias kings of Juda, and in the days of Jeroboam the son of Joas king of Israel.
Men mesaj Seyè a te bay Oze, pitit Beeri, nan tan Ozyas, Jotam, Akaz ak Ezekyas te wa, yonn apre lòt, nan peyi Jida. Lè sa a, se Jewoboram, pitit Joas, ki te wa nan peyi Izrayèl.
2 The beginning of the Lord’s speaking by Osse: and the Lord said to Osee: Go, take thee a wife of fornications, and have of her children of fornications: for the land by fornication shall depart from the Lord.
Premye fwa Seyè a t'ap bay Oze mesaj pou pèp Izrayèl la, li di l' konsa: -Leve non! Al marye ak yon fanm jennès nan san ki pral twonpe ou. Kanta pou pitit w'ap gen avè l' yo, y'ap gen menm san jennès la tou. Se konsa pèp la vire do ban mwen. Yo pa kenbe pawòl yo te gen avè m'.
3 So he went, and took Gomer the daughter of Debelaim: and she conceived and bore him a son.
Se konsa, Oze leve, li al marye ak Gomè, pitit fi Diblayim. Gomè vin ansent, li fè yon pitit gason.
4 And the Lord said to him: Call his name Jezrahel: for yet a little while, and I will visit the blood of Jezrahel upon the house of Jehu, and I will cause to cease the kingdom of the house of Israel.
Seyè a di Oze konsa: -W'a rele l' Jizreyèl paske talè konsa, mwen pral pini wa Izrayèl la pou krim Jeou, zansèt li a, te fè lavil Jizreyèl. Mwen pral wete gouvènman an nan men moun ras Izrayèl yo.
5 And in that day I will break in pieces the bow of Israel in the valley of Jezrahel.
Jou sa a, m'ap kraze tout zam pèp Izrayèl yo nan Fon Jizreyèl la.
6 And she conceived again, and bore a daughter, and he said to him: Call her name, Without mercy: for I will not add any more to have mercy on the house of Israel, but I will utterly forget them.
Gomè vin ansent ankò. Li fè yon pitit fi. Lè sa a, Seyè a di Oze konsa: -W'a rele l' Lowouchama, paske m'ap san pitye pou moun Izrayèl yo ankò. p'ap gen padon pou yo.
7 And I will have mercy on the house of Juda, and I will save them by the Lord their God: and I will not save them by bow, nor by sword, nor by battle, nor by horses, nor by horsemen.
Men, m'ap gen pitye pou moun peyi Jida yo. Mwen menm, Seyè a, Bondye yo a, m'ap delivre yo. Men, mwen p'ap fè l' ni avèk flèch, ni avèk nepe, ni nan goumen, ni avèk chwal ak kavalye.
8 And she weaned her that was called Without mercy. And she conceived, and bore a son.
Apre Gomè fin sevre Lowouchama, li vin ansent ankò. Li fè yon pitit gason.
9 And he said: Call his name, Not my people: for you are not my people, and I will not be yours.
Lè sa a, Seyè a di Oze: -W'ap rele l' Lorami, paske moun peyi Izrayèl yo pa moun pa m' ankò. Mwen menm, mwen pa Bondye yo ankò.
10 And the number of the children of Israel shall be as the sand of the sea, that is without measure, and shall not be numbered. And it shall be in the place where it shall be said to them: You are not my people: it shall be said to them: Ye are the sons of the living God.
Moun pèp Izrayèl yo va tankou sab bò lanmè: moun p'ap ka ni konte yo, ni konnen kantite ki va genyen. Si koulye a Bondye ap di: Nou pa moun pa m' ankò, yon jou l'a di yo: Nou se pitit Bondye vivan an.
11 And the children of Juda, and the children of Israel shall be gathered together: and they shall appoint themselves one head, and shall come up out of the land: for great is the day of Jezrahel.
Moun peyi Jida ak moun peyi Izrayèl va mete tèt yo ansanm ankò. Y'a chwazi yon sèl chèf pou mache alatèt yo. Y'a grandi. Zafè yo va mache nan peyi a. Wi, jou Jizreyèl la pral yon gwo jou.
