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.
Реч Господња која дође Осији сину Веиријевом за времена Озије, Јоатама, Ахаза и Језекије царева Јудиних и за времена Јеровоама сина Јоасовог цара Израиљевог.
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).”
Кад Господ поче говорити Осији, рече Господ Осији: Иди, ожени се курвом, и роди копилад, јер се земља прокурва одступивши од Господа.
3 So I married Gomer, the daughter of Diblaim. She became pregnant and gave birth to my son.
И отиде, и узе Гомеру, кћер дивлаимску, која затрудне и роди му сина.
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,
Тада му рече Господ: Надени му име Језраел; јер још мало, па ћу походити крв језраелску на дому Јујевом и укинућу царство дома Израиљевог.
5 by destroying the power [MTY] of [the army of] Israel in Jezreel Valley.”
И у то ћу време сломити лук Израиљев у долини језраелској.
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].
И она опет затрудне и роди кћер; и Господ му рече: Надени јој име Лорухама: јер се више нећу смиловати на дом Израиљев, него ћу их укинути сасвим.
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].”
А на дом Јудин смиловаћу се, и избавићу их Господом Богом њиховим, а нећу их избавити луком ни мачем ни ратом ни коњима ни коњицима.
8 After Gomer had (weaned/stopped breast-feeding) Lo-ruhamah, she became pregnant again, and she gave birth to another son.
Потом одбивши од сисе Лорухаму опет затрудне и роди сина.
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.
И рече Господ: Надени му име Лоамија; јер ви нисте мој народ, нити ћу ја бити ваш.
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.’
Али ће ипак број синова Израиљевих бити као песак морски, који се не може измерити ни избројати; и место да им се рече: Нисте мој народ, рећи ће им се: Синови Бога Живога.
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].”
И сабраће се синови Јудини и синови Израиљеви у једно, и поставиће себи једног поглавара и отићи ће из земље, јер ће бити велик дан језраелски.
