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.
Słowo PANA, które doszło do Ozeasza, syna Beeriego, za dni Uzjasza, Jotama, Achaza, Ezechiasza, królów Judy, i za dni Jeroboama, syna Joasza, króla Izraela.
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).”
Początek słowa PANA przez Ozeasza. PAN powiedział do Ozeasza: Idź, weź sobie nierządnicę za żonę i dzieci nierządu. Ziemia bowiem uprawiała wstydliwy nierząd, odwróciła się od PANA.
3 So I married Gomer, the daughter of Diblaim. She became pregnant and gave birth to my son.
Poszedł więc i wziął sobie za żonę Gomerę, córkę Diblaima, a ona poczęła i urodziła mu syna.
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,
PAN powiedział do niego: Nadaj mu imię Jizreel, bo już niedługo pomszczę na domu Jehu krew Jizreel i sprawię, [że] ustanie królestwo domu Izraela.
5 by destroying the power [MTY] of [the army of] Israel in Jezreel Valley.”
W tym dniu złamię łuk Izraela w dolinie Jizreel.
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].
I poczęła znowu, i urodziła córkę. [PAN] powiedział do niego: Nadaj jej imię Lo-Ruchama, bo już nie zlituję się nad domem Izraela, lecz na pewno go wytępię.
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].”
Ale zlituję się nad domem Judy i wybawię go przez PANA, jego Boga, lecz nie wybawię łukiem ani mieczem, ani wojną, ani końmi, ani jeźdźcami.
8 After Gomer had (weaned/stopped breast-feeding) Lo-ruhamah, she became pregnant again, and she gave birth to another son.
Gdy odstawiła [od piersi] Lo-Ruchamę, znowu poczęła i urodziła syna.
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.
I [PAN] powiedział: Nadaj mu imię Lo-Ammi, bo wy nie jesteście moim ludem, ja też nie będę waszym [Bogiem].
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.’
Jednak liczba synów Izraela będzie jak piasek morski, którego nie można zmierzyć ani zliczyć. I stanie się, że w miejscu, gdzie im mówiono: Nie jesteście moim ludem, będzie się do nich mówić: Wy jesteście synami Boga żywego.
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].”
I będą zgromadzeni razem synowie Judy i synowie Izraela, ustanowią sobie jedną głowę i wyjdą z tej ziemi. Wielki bowiem [będzie] dzień Jizreel.
